Ghrelin Levels in Male Patients with Hyperlipoproteinemia I, II versus Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background; Hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP)  are divided in primary and secondary subtypes. Primary HLP is usually due to genetic causes. Secondary HLP is resulting from another underlying disorder such as diabetes mellitus that leads to alterations in plasma lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, HLP may be idiopathic .

Patients and Methods; Ninety male individuals (age 30-45)years were enrolled in this study which were divided into three groups as follows:- (G1) consist of 30 healthy male individuals as a control group, (G2) consist of  30 male patients with (HLP) without any other disease  (15 of them were HLP1,the other were HLP11), (G3) consist of 30 male patients with DM2 without any other disease .(Ghr),  fasting blood glucose (FBG), c-peptide, Insulin, Insulinresistance (IR), Insulin sensitivity (S%),  Beta cell function(B%) ,Glucose/ Insulin ratio, triacylglycerol(TG),total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein(LDL),high density lipoprotein(HDL),very low density lipoprotein(VLDL),TC/HDL ratio, LDL/HDL ratio and atherogenic index of plasma(AIP) were evaluated .Objectives; The aims of this paper were to evaluate the differences in the  ghrelin hormone (Ghr) levels between healthy control and patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia  [hyperlipoproteinemia I (HPLI) , hyperlipoproteinemia II (HPLII)]  and secondary hyperlipoproteinemia [ type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM2)], and  study the relation of (Ghr) with other parameters.

Results; The mean level of Ghr was significantly lower (P<0.05) in DM2 compared with control group, significantly higher(P<0.05) in HLP1 compared with HLP11 and DM2 and significantly higher(P<0.05) in HLPII compared with DM2. There were  significant correlations between Ghr level and (insulin, c-peptide ,IR,S% ,TG ,VLDL ,AIP) in patients with DM2 and  significant correlations between Ghr level and (TG ,LDL ,VLDL ,LDL/HDL ratio ,c-peptide ,S%)in patients with HLPI.

Conclusion; We conclude that low plasma Ghr level is closely related to atherogenicity in DM 2 patients while there is no significant relationship between them in HLPI and HLPII.

Evaluation of Serum RANKL Level in Acute Coronary Syndrome

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a common disease, and a major determinant of morbidity and mortality in all races. The pleiotropic effects of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) such as modulation of cell survival, mineralization and inflammation, make it an interesting candidate mediator in the progression and destabilization of atherosclerotic lesions.Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the role of RANKL in the pathogenesis of ACS.Methods: The levels of RANKL were measured by ELISA method in sera of 60 ACS patients, 31 patients with unstable angina (UA) and 29 patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in comparison with 20 apparently healthy controls.Results: Current data indicate

The Role Of Architectural Legacy In Achieving Architectural Sustainability

Sustainability is a concept embodied in traditional architecture around the world since ancient times through spontaneous experimental compatibility with the environment and efficient exploitation of the natural resources of the environment according to a rapid development of trial and error over the years . Architecture was the basic means that man devised to protect him from the harsh conditions of the external environment by exploiting natural energy sources such as the sun, wind, and soil capabilitie, Many of the principles of sustainability overlapped with the social organization and human behavior of the community as it was reflected in the urban production at the level of standards of city planning and urban agglomerations as well

Extracorporial Knots in Laparoscopic Surgery: Which, When, and How

Despite recent advances in both suture welding and knotless anchor technology, knot tying will remain a necessary skill which the surgeon must master when performing suture
anchor in laparoscopic surgery. There are an endless number of combinations of knots (sliding versus static, simple versus complex, etc.) and suture types (monofilament versus
braided) to accomplish this task. Surgeons are familiar with knotting but seem not to be aware of the possibilities and impact of the techniques of capsizing, flipping, and flyping
knots. (1) Capsizing refers to changing or perverting a flat knot’s geometry under asymmetric stress. The simplest examples of this is the change

Opportunities for establishing business incubators in IraqTo support microenterprises

Business incubator is a new effective mechanism in developing small projects through its introductions of a new integral system of services. It aims at supporting and developing making new projects. Hence, there is a big number of factors that are interrelated in the processes of preparation for those projects. Those factors are: organizing the incubator and the market available for the projects attached to them and the work programs which will have to be implemented. Those small projects represent more than 98% of the total work institutions in the world. Also it has become responsible for a ration reaching half of the national output of those countries. These projects have created between 40 to 80% of job opportunities availabl

Reservoir Units of Yamama Formation in Gharafoilfiled, Southern Iraq

Reservoir unit classifications can be used in reservoir characterization of carbonate reservoirs where there is variability in the distribution of petrophysical properties. This requires the integration of geological and petrophysical data at different scales. In this study, cores and thin sections from Yamama Formation (Lower Cretaceous) at Gharaf oilfield, southern Iraq, were studiedto identify reservoir units.

     Ninereservoir units (units Y1 to Y9) were identified based on petrophysical evaluation by using interactive Petrophysics program (IP) software and depositional environments and related microfacies.The unit Y2 have the highest reservoir quality, which consists of grain-supported facies(packstone a
