Virulence estimation by calculation of relative expression of NESTIN in different grades of astrocytoma from different age groups of Iraqi patients, extracted from brain tumor stem cells
...Show More Authors

Background: Astrocytoma, is heterogeneous tumor of the nervous system and studies on the virulence of these tumors reveal that their behavior is led by small population of cells which are the brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) that drive the continuous proliferation and self-renewal. From the many markers that annotate BTSCs, are the CD133, and NESTIN.

Objectives: Using CD133, to immunolabel BTSCs niches in paraffin sections of astrocytoma then, extraction of these cells, to calculate fold expression of NESTIN gene across the grades by real time PCR.

Materials and methods: Paraffin blocks of four grades of primary astrocytoma have been selected from three age groups from Iraqi patients. The age groups were stratified into: children (0-17years) adults (18-49years) and older (50-80years). The samples were stained with CD133, then positive areas were extracted to perform relative expression of NESTIN gene by real time PCR

Results: The expression of NESTIN for all grades, increased by tens of folds in relation to calibrator then this fold expression increased dramatically in an ascending manner with increasing of the grade in the same group. The fold expression of NESTIN gene in all grades was the highest in the adulthood (18-49) years group.

Conclusion: Relative expression of NESTIN gene of BTSCs in different grades of astrocytoma can be a useful tool for the assessment of the virulence with ascending the grades. This expression was the highest at age (18-49) years.

Dietary Replacement with Food Waste and Black Soldier Fly Larvae Supplementation Improved Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Intestinal Microbial Population in Broilers
...Show More Authors

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of conventional ingredients replacement with alternative ingredients on growth performance, carcass quality, nutrient digestibility and intestinal microbial of broilers. One hundred twenty Cobb500 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four diets. Corn, soybean meal and fish meal were replaced with rice waste, meat and bone waste and black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) at 0, 10, 30 and 50% to form four treatments. Body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and digestibility of crude protein and fat were improved in broilers fed the replacement diets. Feed intake was not affected by the treatments suggesting that the replacement diets were well accepted by the chicken. Escherichia coli was decre

A true random number generator based on the photon arrival time registered in a coincidence window between two single-photon counting modules
...Show More Authors

True random number generators are essential components for communications to be conconfidentially secured. In this paper a new method is proposed to generate random sequences of numbers based on the difference of the arrival times of photons detected in a coincidence window between two single-photon counting modules
