The correlation between serum levels of soluble platelet -selectin in preeclampsia with & without intrauterine growth retardation versus normal pregnancy
...Show More Authors

Background: preeclampsia is characterized by endothelial dysfunction with vasoconstriction due to cell adhesion molecules or mediators released by defective placentation. Soluble platelet selectin, one of the cell adhesion molecules, is elevated in many inflammatory conditions including preeclampsia.
Objective: To investigate if soluble platelet-selectin levels can be used as a marker for adverse outcomes in pregnancy complicated with sever preeclampsia
Patients and methods:This study involved 115 pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy; divided into Group A: involves 25 pregnant women with preeclampsia complicated by intrauterine growth restriction.Group B: involves 35 pregnant women with preeclampsia without intrauterine growth restriction.Control group: involve 55 pregnant women with normal blood pressure and normal fetal growth .The data were conducted from patients by special questionnaire, this involve name, age, parity, examination included vital signs, abdominal, obstetrical examination and investigations including :Liver function test, Renal function test, Complete blood picture and maternal serum levels of soluble platelet selectin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ,albumin in urine and serial obstetrical ultrasound scan to confirm the diagnosis of intrauterine growth retardation and Doppler study to determine fetuses at risk .
Results: this study revealed a significantly higher concentration of soluble platelet selectin levels in serumofpreeclamptic women with and without intrauterine growth retardation versus normotensive and normal fetal growth. The maternal serum levels of sP-selectin in preeclampsia without intrauterine growth restriction were significantly higher than preeclampsia complicated by intrauterine growth restriction .Sensitivity was 91.7% and specificity 100% at cut off value 6.975 ng/ml of maternal soluble platelet _selectin for prediction of adverse pregnancy outcome .
Conclusion: soluble platelet -selectin levels have a positive significant correlation with the severity of preeclampsia, so it can beconsidered as a marker for its severity and can be used as a predictor for adverse outcomes as itsnegatively correlated with these complications

Correlation of Neuroendocrine Differentiation with Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
...Show More Authors

Neuroendocrine differentiation has been mentioned in many cancers of non-neuroendocrinal organs, involving the gastrointestinal tract. In contrast, the correlation of focally diffused neuroendocrine differentiation in colorectal adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia has not been somewhat reported. The objective of this research is to study the relationship between neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia and neuroendocrine differentiation in colorectal adenocarcinoma and to find the correlation of neuroendocrine differentiation and VEGF expression with clinicopathological parameters of colorectal adenocarcinoma. Methods employed in the current study were including eighty-one patients with colorectal cancer. Formalin fixed paraffin e

Evaluation of Serum Osteocalcin Level in Iraqi Postmenopausal Women with Primary Osteoporosis
...Show More Authors

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic and a progressive disease characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, resulting in an increased risk of fracture. Osteocalcin is a non-collagenous protein synthesized and secreted by osteoblasts. Its main physiological functions are calcium ion homeostasis, maintain the normal bone mineralization rate, inhibit the abnormal formation of hydroxyapatite crystal, and to be involved in bone remodeling through a negative feedback mechanism.
Objective: This study was planned to evaluate serum level of bone formation marker osteocalcin (OC) in postmenopausal women with and without primary osteoporosis; and study the correlation between serum osteocalcin level
