The Diagnostic Yield of Open Lung Biopsy in relation to clinical and radiological features in Patients with Suspected Interstitial Lung Disease
...Show More Authors

Background: The diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is frequently delayed, because clinical clues are neglected and respiratory symptoms are ascribed to more common pulmonary diagnosis such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the primary care setting.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic yield of open lung biopsy in patients with suspected ILD in relation to clinical and radiological features.
Patients and methods: Thirty-five patients were admitted with suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD), and scheduled for open lung biopsy (OLB) in Ghazi AL-Hariri hospital for surgical specialty, were included in this study. Data collected from the patient's files (who were subjected to open lung biopsies which had been histopathologically studied in the period from 1st of January 2013 to 31st of May 2015) and were studied retrospectively.
Results: There were 11 (31.4%) males and 24( 68.6%) females, the mean age was 46±14 years , dyspnea was the common presenting symptoms in patients 24(68.6%) , dry cough was the presenting symptoms in10 (28.6%)patients , bilateral diffuse crepitations were heard in 20 (57.2%) patients, bilateral fine basal crepitation were heard in 11 (31.4%) , clubbing with bilateral fine basal crepitations heard in 4 (11.4%) ,chest-x- rays findings were: lower zone infiltration in 11 (31.4%), reticulonodular infiltration in 10 (28.6), nodular infiltration in8 (22.9%) and opacities in6 (17.1%). CT findings were: basal infiltration in11 (31.4%), reticulonodular infiltration in 10 (28.6%), nodular infiltration in 8 (22.9%) and ground glass appearance s in 6 (17.1%). Histopathological examination (obtained from Open lung biopsy) results were: had usual interstitial pneumonia (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) 21(60%), 7 (20%) metastasis, 5 (14.3%) pulmonary TB and 2(5.7%) broncho-alveolar cell carcinoma.
Conclusion: Open lung biopsy can give a high diagnostic yield and confirm or alters the diagnosis in a significant number of patients with suspected interstitial lung diseases. The usual interstitial pneumonia pattern is the commonest histopathologic pattern seen in ILD patients.

 الخلفية: تشخيص أمراض الرئة الخلالي كثيرا ما يتأخر، لأنه يتم إهمال االاعراض السريرية والأعراض التنفسية, تعزى إلى تشخيص امراض  الرئة الأكثر شيوعاً مثل الربو ومرض انسداد الشعب الهوائية المزمن في إطار الرعاية الصحية الأولية.

الهدف: تقييم العائد التشخيصي لخزعة الرئة المفتوحة في المرضى الذين يعانون من اشتباه في امراض الرئة الخلالي  بالسمات السريرية والإشعاعية.

المواضيع والأساليب:  شملت الدراسة خمسة وثلاثون مريضا ممن لديهم  أمراض الرئة الخلالي المشتبه فيه، والمقررلهم خزعة الرئة المفتوحة (OLB) في مستشفى غازي الحريري للتخصصات الجراحية.تم جمع البيانات من ملفات المريض (الذي تعرض لفتح خزعات الرئة والتي درست الفحص النسيجي له للفترة من الأول كانون الثاني/يناير 2013 إلى 31 مايو عام 2015)، وقد تم  دراستهم  باثر رجعي .

النتائج: اظهرت النتائج الذكور 11 (31.4%) والإناث 24(68.6%) ، كان متوسط العمرلهم 46±14 سنة، ضيق التنفس كان اكثر الأعراض الشائعة في 24 مريض  (68.6%) ، والسعال الجاف عند 10مرضى (28.6%) ، سماع قرقعة منتشرة  في كلا الرئتين  في20 مريض  (57.2%) ، سماع قرقعة  القاعدية في  كلا الرئتين في 11  مريض(31.4%)، تضخم اظافر اليد مع قرقعة قاعدية سمعت في 4 مرضى (11.4%)   ، وكانت نتائج أشعة الصدر ترشح في الجزء الاسفل للرئة عند  11مريض (31.4%)، ترشح شبكي- عقدي في  مرضى10 (28.6)، ترشح عقدي في 8 مرضى (22.9%) ونسبة تظليل في 6 مرضى (17.1%).  وكانت نتائج الأشعة المقطعية: ترشح القاعدية في11 مريض (31.4%)، ترشح شبكي عقدي في 10مرضى (28.6%)، ترشح عقدي في 8 مرضى (22.9%) ومظهر  زجاج الأرض s في 6مرضى (17.1%). وكانت نتائج الدراسة النسيجية التي تم الحصول عليها من خزعة الرئة المفتوحة: كان 21 (60%) الالتهاب الرئوي الخلالي المعتادة (تليف رئوي مجهول السبب)، 7مرضى ورم خبيث ثانوي (20%)، السل الرئوي5 (14.3%)وورم  الخلية السنخية القصيبية 2(5.7%).

الاستنتاج: خزعة الرئة المفتوحة يمكن أن تعطي نتيجة تشخيصيةعالية ,حيث تؤكد أو تغير التشخيص في عدد كبير من المرضى الذين يعانون من أمراض الرئة الخلالي المشتبه فيهم. النمط المعتاد من الالتهاب الرئوي الخلالي هو نمط الأنسجة الأكثر شيوعاً ينظر في مرضى أمراض الرئة الخلالي.

Synthesis of new Schiff bases derived from [3-amino-3-C-cyano-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose
...Show More Authors

Aromatic Schiff-bases are known to have antibacterial activity, but most of these compounds are sparingly soluble in water. The present work describes the synthesis of new Schiff-bases derived from branched aminosugars. Treatment of 3-Amino-3-Cyano-3-Deoxy-1,2:5,6-Di-O-Isopropylene-α-D-Allofuranose (1) with the aldehydes (2) under reflux in methanol afforded the Schiff-bases (3) in good yields. The new Schiff-bases were in accord with their NMR, IR spectral data and elemental analysis.

We used the experimental coefficient (𝑎2 ) for two γ-transitions from the initial state itself, the statistical tensor 𝜌2(𝐽𝑖), associated with factor 𝑎2 , would be the same for the two transitions. The results obtained are in good agreement or within the experimental error with -those previously published. And existing contradictions resulting from inaccuracies in the empirical results of previous work. The current results confirm that the , 𝑎2 − method is used to calculate th

The present study provides a new insight into valuable information on the diverse structure of the Anisakid population and discusses the limited species richness in the Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch,1791) (Perciformes, Nemiperidae). The fishing area consists of various locations in the Arabian Gulf (29°58 0 33 00 N48°28 0 20 E). A total of 315 marine fish were examined, (n=287) were infected. Larval stages (n= 763) encysted within the mesenteries peritoneum and viscera of fish organs were isolated, with a prevalence of 91.11% of infection and, the intensity was 2.65. Molecular analysis was carried out on thirty individuals who have examined the morphology and showed some appearance differences, by amplifying internal transcribed spacers

Electrochemical Deposition of Hydroxyapatite Co-Substituted By Sr/Mg Coating on Ti-6Al-4V ELI Dental Alloy Post-MAO as Anti-Corrosion
...Show More Authors

This work involved the co-substitution of the two bioactive ions of strontium and magnesium into the hydroxyapatite (HA) coating which was then electrochemically deposited on Ti-6Al-4V ELI dental alloy (Gr.23) before and after treatment by Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO). The deposited layers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adhesion strength of the coating layer was estimated by using pull-off adhesion test. The adhesion strength of Sr/Mg-HA on the Ti-6Al-4V ELI dental alloy after MAO treatment was 1.79 MPa, which was higher than that before MAO treatment (1.62 MPa). The corrosion behavior of th

A Specific NH<sub>3</sub> Gas Sensor of a Thick MWCNTs-OH Network for Detection at Room Temperature
...Show More Authors

NH3 gas sensor was fabricated based on deposited of Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) suspension on filter paper substrates using suspension filtration method. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the MWCNTs film were characterized by XRD, AFM and FTIR techniques. XRD measurement confirmed that the structure of MWCNTs is not affected by the preparation method. The AFM images reflected highly ordered network in the form of a mat. The functional groups and types of bonding have appeared in the FTIR spectra. The fingerprint (C-C stretch) of MWCNTs appears in 1365 cm-1, and the backbone of CNTs observed at 1645 cm-1.
