Effect of doxorubicin on the histological structure of the kidneys in male albino rats
...Show More Authors

Background:  doxorubicin is one of the most active cytotoxic agents in current use, it has a very potent effect in the treatment of various malignancy either used alone or combined with other cytocidal agents, the antitumor activity of this drug associated with cytotoxic effect such as cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity,  nephrotoxicity, myelosuppression.

Objectives: - this study was designed to investigate the effect of the doxorubicin on the histological structure of the rats' kidney.


Results:
  -  Doxorubicin cause reduction in the body weight and changes in the histological structure of the kidney which are atrophy of some  glomeruli with widening of the urinary space between the glomerular tuft and the bowman's capsule , other glomeruli show expansion of glomerular tuft with obliteration of the urinary space, degenerative changes in the tubular epithelium, increase rate of apoptosis, necrosis, cystic changes of the tubules and vacuolation of the tubular epithelial cells cytoplasm, protein cast formation in the tubular lumen, infiltration of inflammatory cells in the interstitium, proliferation of collagen fibers(fibrosis) in the interstitium and glomerulosclerosis, the follow up animals show persistence and more extensive lesion than group B.

Patients and  Methods:- one of the most important cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin is nephrotoxicity. Therefor sixteen adult male Wister albino rats have been used in this study, Eight of them were given 1 ml of intraperitoneal injection of normal saline alone daily for six consecutive days and served as a control group (A), The other Eight rats were given intraperitoneal dose of (1mg/kg body weight) doxorubicin, daily for six consecutive days and served as treated group (B), tow animals from group B kept alive without treatment for another week (observation period) as follow up animals to see the reversibility of the renal injury that are caused by doxorubicin. the animals were sacrificed at the end of the experiment, The body weight of the animals were recorded before starting the injection and recorded again just before killing the animals to see the changes in the body weight and the kidney sections were prepared and stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain, Periodic acid Schiff ̓s reagent (PAS), Orcin VanGieson stain, and examined by light microscope.

Conclusion:  doxorubicin causes marked changes in the normal histological architecture of the rats' kidney, and these changes are irreversible after cessation  of  doxorubicin injection (observation period).

Effect of Alstonia Boonei Stem Bark Extracts on the Activity of Liver Maker Enzymes in Rats Induced by Ccl4
...Show More Authors

This study investigated the outcome of Alstonia boonei stem bark on liver enzymes after inducing the Wistar albino rats with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). This effect of plant extract was compared with silymarin – a drug commonly used for the treatment of chronic hepatocyte disorder. The plant sample was extracted with ethanol; acute toxicity study of the extract was performed on eighteen Wistar mice, while 30 rats were sacrificed for liver enzymes assay. The rats were divided into six clusters: each cluster has five rats, culster 1 served as control and was given 2 mL/kg b.w - distilled water; clusters 2 – 6 were CCl4 induced. Cluster 2 was untreated but served as the negative control while cluster 3 wa

Cobalt Effect on the Growth of Cadmium Oxide Nanostructure Prepared by Spray Pyrolysis Technique
...Show More Authors

Spray pyrolysis technique (SPT) is employed to synthesize cadmium oxide nanostructure with 3% and 5% Cobalt concentrations. Films are deposited on a glass substrate at 350 ᵒC with 150 nm thickness. The XRD analysis revealed a polycrystalline nature with cubic structure and (111) preferred orientation. Structural parameters represent lattice spacing, crystallite size, lattice parameter and dislocation density. Homogeneous surfaces and regular distribution of atoms were showed by atomic force microscope (AFM) with 1.03 nm average roughness and 1.22 nm root mean square roughness. Optical properties illustrated a high transmittance more than 85% in the range of visible spectrum and decreased with Co concentration increasing. The absorption

The Immunohistochemically Estimation of CD63 in Iraqi Patients with Gastric Cancer
...Show More Authors

CD63 is -one of the tetraspanin family proteins, which are regarded as: hallmark exosomal markers because it is absent from other types of vesicles. It is expressed in the cell membrane of cancer cells, and cytoplasm of stromal cells. Objective: To assess CD63 expression in gastric cancer (GC) patients, and detected if it could be used as a predictive marker. Furthermore, the current study aimed to find the correlation between CD63 expression and clinicopathological parameters as: gender, age, invasion depth, histopathological type, involvement of lymph nodes, grade and stages of GC (TNM). The current study is a retrospective study in the period time from (2018 to-2020); 50 randomly patients formalin-fixed paraffin embedded blocks (FFPE)

Effects of the Zinc on Activity of Immune System in Male Albino Mice
...Show More Authors

   Effect of zinc chloride on the immune  functions was studied in male albino mice aged 6-7 weeks. It was administrated orally (1ml) in three concentrations (0.5ppm, 1ppm, 2ppm) for 9 days.         The results showed that the first concentration was not effective comparing with control while the second concentration increased the enhancement of immune system and the cell third one killed the mice 6 hours post administration, so we can conclude that the high dose of ZnCl2 could be harmful for all metabolism.
