Treatment of perniosis with oral tadalafil, pentoxifylline or prednisolone A therapeutic comparative study
...Show More Authors

Background: perniosis is a common dermatological problem. Different modalities of treatment are available with conflicting results and no single effective therapy is universally accepted.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of oral tadalafil and compare it with pentoxyfylline or prednisolone in treatment of perniosis
Patients and methods: This was a therapeutic comparative trial conducted in the department of Dermatology, Baghdad Teaching hospital, Baghdad, Iraq between November 2011 and March 2014.
Fifty eight patients with perniosis were enrolled in this study, and divided into 3 groups. Group (A) comprised 19 patients who received oral tadalafil (5 mg once daily); group (B) comprised 18 patients who received pentoxifylline tablet (400 mg three times daily) and group (C) included 21 patients who received prednisolone 15 mg twice daily. The treatment duration was 2 weeks. All patients did not receive any treatment before the study. A severity score was proposed taken in consideration the number of finger/ toes, type of lesion, coldness, cyanosis and itching
Results: Forty seven patients completed the study. Their ages ranged from 13-43 with a mean ± SD of 22.38 ±6.99 years. Thirty three patients were females (70.21%) and 14 were males (29.79%).
The percentage of improvement was 50.65, 44.16 and 31.51% for the groups A, B and C respectively.
Conclusion: Tadalafil has a superior effect over pentoxyfylline. The latter has a better effect than prednisolone.

Experimental Investigation of the Mechanical and Structural Properties of a Functionally Graded Material by Adding Alumina Nanoparticles Using A Centrifugal Technique
...Show More Authors

In this work, functionally graded materials were synthesized by centrifugal technique at different
volume fractions 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% Vf with a rotation speed of 1200 rpm and a constant rotation time, T
= 6 min . The mechanical properties were characterized to study the graded and non-graded nanocomposites
and the pure epoxy material. The mechanical tests showed that graded and non-graded added alumina
(Al2O3) nanoparticles enhanced the effect more than pure epoxy. The maximum difference in impact strength
occurred at (FGM), which was loaded from the rich side of the nano-alumina where the maximum value was
at 1% Vf by 133.33% of the sample epoxy side. The flexural strength and Young modulus of the fu

...Show More Authors

The aim of the present research is to study different protein fractions in sera of children and adolescent with  β –thalassemia major and minor and to compare the results with that of healthy control.One hundred fifty children and adolescents were enrolled in this study,including 50 patients with β- thalassemia major , 50 patients with  β- thalassemia minor as pathological control group and another apparently 50 healthy individuals as a control group. The age of all studied  groups ranged from (4-18)years.Total protein, albumin and immunoglobulins were estimated in sera of all subjects.  A Significant  decrease  was  found  in  the  total  protein and  albumin&nb

Some Variables Affecting the Formulation of Pentoxifylline (PTX) as a Solid Sustained Release Dosage Form
...Show More Authors

An inert matrix  that is used to control the release of  (PTX) was prepared using Eudragit RL100 and RSPM types as matrix forming agent . The matrices were prepared by either dry granulation(slugging) , or wet granulation method using chloroform as a solvent evaporation vehichle. The cumulative release was adjusted by using polyvinylpyrollidone (PVP) or ethylcellulose (EC) polymers .The results indicated that   both methods of preparation were valid for incorporation PTX as a sustained release granules .Moreover ,the results revealed that best polymer used  was Eudragit RSPM in 3:20 polymer drug ratio .Besides to that ,   the results indicated that the release profiles were affected by  pH- medium&
