`In Situ Hybridization for Detection of Latent Epstein-Barr Virus Early Repeats(EBERS) and Mutant-P53- Tumor Suppressor Gene in Patients with Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma
...Show More Authors

Back ground: Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous in that infecting more than 90% of adult population worldwide. Recently, EBV has been linked to the development of variety of human malignancies. P53 gene is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers. Cell cycle dysregulation, measured by p53 protein expression, and latent EBV infection are important in the pathogenesis of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.
Objective: To analyze the distribution and impact of concordant p53 expression and latent EBV infection on a group of B & T cell types of NHL.
Materials and Methods: Forty (40) formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue blocks were obtained from lymph nodes biopsies related to patients with NHL.
In addition, biopsies of twenty (20) lymph nodes autopsies were included as apparently normal control group. The clinico- pathological criteria of NHL cases were assessed and In Situ Hybridization( ISH ) techniques for mutant p53 and Epstein-Barr Early Repeats(EBERs) detection were performed.
Results: The percentage of EBV-ISH reaction results in the total group of NHL was (60%), where its percentage in NHL, B-cell type was (58.6%)and in NHL, T-cell type (63.7%). None of the control group showed EBV-ISH reaction. Statistical analysis showed significant difference between these groups (p<0.05). The percentage of B-cell lymphoma with moderate signal score for EBV-ISH test was (41.4%) while with strong scoring was (17.2%). In the T-cell lymphoma, moderate signal scoring was (18.2%) while strong scoring was(45.5%). Statistically, they showed no significant differences (p> 0.05). Mutant p53 gene was observed in 60% of NHLs and dual positivity of EBV and p53-ISH was found in 42.5 % of cases. Regarding the grades, it was found that the higher level of p53 expression was observed in low grade tumors (39.3% ; 11out of 28) NHL.
Conclusion: The present findings indicate that cell cycle dysregulation and EBV-related transformation are important in the pathogenesis of NHL.

Using Real-Time PCR to Investigate Some of Antibiotic Resistance Genes from Streptococcus agalactiae Isolates from ewe Mastitis cases in Nineveh province
...Show More Authors

In this study, from a total of 856 mastitis cases in lactating ewes, only 34 Streptococcus agalactiae isolates showed various types of resistance to three types of antibiotics (Penicillin, Erythromycin and Tetracycline). St. agalactiae isolates were identified according to the standard methods, including a new suggested technique called specific Chromogenic agar. It was found that antibiotic bacterial resistance was clearly identified by using MIC-microplate assay (dilution method). Also, by real-time PCR technique, it was determined that there were three antibiotics genes resistance ( pbp2b, tetO and mefA ). The high percentage of isolate carried of a single gene which was the Tetracycline (20.59%) followed by percentage Penicillin was
