Effect of 1,3-Oxazepine Derivative on Alkaline Phosphatase and Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in Healthy Iraqi Females Serum
...Show More Authors

Background: Heterocyclic compounds and its derivatives have biological activities and used as analgesic, anti-helminthic, antituberculer, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer and inhibitor of some enzymes. Oxazepine (benzodiazepine) derivative used in relief of psychoneuroses characterized by anxiety and tension. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) hydrolyzes phosphate monoesters, while Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyses oxidation of L-lactate to pyruvate utilizing NAD+
Objective: The study was carried out to know of the impact of 1,3-oxazepine derivative on the ALP and LDH enzyme activity on human serum in vitro.
Methods: The study included the effect of synthesized 1,3-oxazepine divertive [(Z)-3-(5-mercapto-1-3,4-Thiadizol-2-yl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,3-oxzepine-4,7-dione] on the activity of enzymes ALP and LDH for (34) healthy Iraqi females serum in vitro. The activity of both enzymes was measured spectrophotometrically. Different concentrations of 1,3-oxazepine derivative were used and the inhibition percentage was calculated.
Results: The results of this study revealed that effect of 1,3-oxazepine derivative was inhibitor for ALP and LDH activity and the high inhibition percentage was 87.56% for ALP. The high inhibition percentage was 50% for LDH when 1,3-oxazepine derivative was used.
Conclusions: 1,3-oxazepine derivative affected as inhibitor on ALP and LDH enzyme activity in human serum in vitro. This can be used in drug industry in the future.

The Importance of Auto-antibodies in the aborted Females with toxoplasmosis
...Show More Authors

Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune`multisystem pathologic condition, characterized by recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis, pregnancy loss and thrombocytopenia. Also, APS were reported in many infectious disease including viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections (e.g.toxoplasmosis). There are however interesting association between the parasite response and specific auto-antibodies (aPL- serine Abs&aCL-Abs).
Objective: To represent the role of autoantibodies in association with toxoplasmosis in the occurrence of the recent abortion.
Patients and Methods: The present study included 76 women: 42women had recent abortion and 34 healthy women with no history of abortion, which constitute the control g

Total L-carnitine and insulin resistance in non-obese and obese Iraqi women with polycystic ovary syndrome
...Show More Authors

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most frequent endocrine illnesses affecting reproductive - age women. L-carnitine has important roles in oxidative stress, energy production and glucose metabolism. It affects insulin resistance as decreased plasma carnitine level has been well reported in type II diabetes mellitus. Hence, it means L-carnitine may reduce insulin resistance which is found in PCO disease.

Objective: This study aims to measure the level of L-carnitine and insulin resistance in both obese and non- obese patients with PCOS.

Patients and Methods: Sixty women within the reproductive age with PCOS (30 obese and 30 non- obese) were recruited

Serum IL-17 and postmenopausal osteoporosis
...Show More Authors

Background: Osteoporosis is a bone condition that makes bones thininer and more fragile because of reduced bone density and it puts people at risk of fractures, especially of the hip, spinal vertebrae and wrist.
Objective: This study will highlighted the role of IL-17 in postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Patients and methods: This study applied on 84 includes subjects (42 postmenopausal osteoporosis patient and 42 of healthy control group), conducted from December 2014 to March 2015 to measure the IL-17 serum level by using ELISA kit.
Results: In osteoporotic postmenopausal women the mean of serum IL-17 was (0.49pg/ml) and it is significantly higher than that of healthy group (0.09pg/ml).
Conclusion: Serum IL-17 was significantly

Level of follicular fluid vitamin D and embryo quality in a sample of Iraqi women undergoing IVF
...Show More Authors

Background: Vitamin D has been linked to fertility since its receptors were found in reproductive organs. Nevertheless, its exact role in fertility is yet to be cleared.

Objectives: To analyze follicular fluid (FF) vitamin D in females doing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), to compare its level between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and non-PCOS females, and to explore whether vitamin D correlates with oocytes number, percentage of oocyte maturity, fertilization rate and percentage of high quality embryos.

Patients and methods: This comparative observational study was done, from January to October 2018, at Al Amal IVF Center, Jenin hospital, Baghdad. The study w

The Relationship between Social Anxiety and Mindfulness In Iraqi Women Living In Iraq And The UK; A Comparison Study
...Show More Authors

The continuous pressure of work and daily life and the increasing financial and social stress that Iraqi women are experiencing (both inside and outside Iraq) is one of the main causes of anxiety, particularly in those of working class women. This group of women carry the burden of carrying out multiple roles and responsibilities at the same time. All this collectively make them more prone to developing anxiety compared to men. In addition, the physiological and psychological nature of women, as females, on top of the other roles in life, like being a wife or mother or daughter or sister, all add extra pressure on women especially for those who are considered as productive working individuals in the society. In order to study the relatio
