Effect of Atorvastatin on Bone biochemical markers in dyslipidemic patients, Basra, Iraq
...Show More Authors

Objective: The aim of the study was to estimate the action atorvastatin(20mg/day) on bone biochemical markers dyslipidemic men. Methodology: This study was conducted between May 2015 and November 2015 in Al-Basrah General hospital in Basra, Iraq, to evaluate important role of atorvastatin (20mg/day)(Lipitor® Pfizer Pharma GmbH.Germany) on bone biochemical markers. Thirty men patients who had been admitted for a variety of medical problems included in the study. All the patients had previously been diagnosed with Dyslipidemia by specialist physician in internal medicine and all patients age below 55 years . the inclusion criteria for the experimental group was use of atorvastatin for at least three months; the study group was then compared to age-matched healthy men .bone biochemical markers were compared between groups. Results are expressed mean ± SD; statistically Student’s t test was used to compare variables. Results: The mean age of the statin group was 44.5 ± 5.9 and control group was 45.7 ± 4.4.After 3 months treatment with atorvastatin, as in table (1) and figures (1-8) Surprisely level of serum total cholesterol remain significantly higher than value of normal healthy group. LDL value significantly reduced by treatment but still significantly higher than values of normal group. HDL value were significantly higher than that of its initial values, but level of HDL ;after treatment; was not significantly different from that of normal group. Triglycerides was not significantly changed by treatment and its value still significantly higher than normal group. Vit D level was not significantly change by treatment and its value was significantly lower than normal group. Osteocalcin was elevated significantly by treatment; and this elevation was significantly as compared with its initial value and with that of normal group. Amino Terminal telopeptide procollagen type I (NTX-I) was not significantly change by treatment and its value still significantly higher than normal group and before treatment values. Also body mass index value was not significantly changed by treatment. Recommendations: Further studies are recommended to confirm the positive effects of atorvastatin and other statins on bone biochemical markers with larger number of patients and longer period of follow up. Also other bone formation and resorption markers are recommended to determine the expected mechanisms of action of statins on bone remodeling processes.

Detection a New Antiseptic Resistant Variant of qac Gene in Some Multi Drug Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Different Clinical Sources
...Show More Authors

The increasing use of antiseptic compounds creates selective pressure cause emergence of antiseptic resistance among Staphylococcus aureus .Resistance mechanism of antiseptic is driven mainly by multi drug resistant (MDR) efflux protein.Sixty five isolates of S.aureuswere collected from different clinical sources and subjected to 11 antibiotics most of them are recognized by efflux systems as extruded substrates. Range of efflux activity was estimated using cartwheel method. Simultaneous discrimination of antiseptic coding genes (qacA/B, smr and norA)as well as nuc and mecA genes among multidrug resistantS.aureus(MRSA) isolates was preformed using multiplex PCR assay

Investigating the Influence of Precursor Concentration on the Photodegradation of Methylene Blue using Biosynthesized ZnO from Pometia pinnata Leaf Extracts
...Show More Authors

The ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized at various precursor concentrations i.e. 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 M by biosynthesis method based on Pometia pinnata Leaf Extracts. Initial nanoparticle concentration influenced the optical bandgap, shape, and structure of nanoparticles. The photodegradation process was carried out under UV illumination. The efficiency of MB degradation was determined by measuring the decrease in MB concentration and by analyzing the optical absorption at 663 nm recorded by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Results showed that the biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited efficient photodegradation of MB, with a maximum degradation rate of 80% after 90 minutes of exposure to UV-C light. The study highlights the potential of Pometia pi
