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).

Epidemiological Study on the Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus PVL Gene Among Healthy Community in Al- Karkh and Al -Rusaffa Districts Baghdad, Iraq
...Show More Authors

     Five hundred nasal swabs were taken from normal medical staff and public in the city of Baghdad. Several identification parameters were used to recognize the bacterial isolates.  S. aureus isolations form nasal swabs were identified using morphology and VITECK 2 system. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was employed to determine PVL (Panton–Valentine leukocidin ) gene in S. aureus. The data showed no significant evidence on the relationship between PVL gene presence and gender and age of  the studied groups. There was no relation between the prevalence of PVL gene in the age groups  of  21-30 years (p=0.328) and 31-40 years (p=0.682).

The results showed that 38.4% and 37.5% S. aureus isolate

Short Text Semantic Similarity Measurement Approach Based on Semantic Network
...Show More Authors

Estimating the semantic similarity between short texts plays an increasingly prominent role in many fields related to text mining and natural language processing applications, especially with the large increase in the volume of textual data that is produced daily. Traditional approaches for calculating the degree of similarity between two texts, based on the words they share, do not perform well with short texts because two similar texts may be written in different terms by employing synonyms. As a result, short texts should be semantically compared. In this paper, a semantic similarity measurement method between texts is presented which combines knowledge-based and corpus-based semantic information to build a semantic network that repre
