Background: Perinuclear Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibodies (pANCA) have been found in patients with rheumatiod arthritis. Cathepsin G was the major target antigen.The present study was to investigate the unknown target antigen of ANCA (Cathapsin G ) in patients with rheumatiod arthritis Objective: This study is to investigate the prevalence of anti-Cathapsin G and rheumatoid factor in Iraqi patients with rheumatiod arthritis.
Patienties&Methods: From1st January until 30 June of 2011 fourty five rheumatiod arthritis patients referred to the immunological department in the teaching laboratory of medical city and twenty five apparently healthy individual used as a control group were investeged to rheumatic factor IgG, IgM ,IgA isotypes and anti-Cathapsin G were measured by using enzyme immunoassay technique.
Result: This study showed that the age of patients with rheumatiod arthritis ranged between eigthen years and sixty six years with mean age of (36.08) , while the mean level for RF screen, RF IgG, RF IgM, RF IgA isotypes and anti-Cathapsin G were (160.71, 91.7, 136.64, 95.03 and > 9.2 ) respectively. There were 17(37.8%) males and 28(62.2%) females of RA patients. Immunologically, this study revealed that the serum RF screen was found more than 25 U/ml in all rheumatiod arthritis patients (100%, P: 0.0001 HS). On the other hand RF isotypes IgG ,RF IgM and IgA level were elevated more than 20 U/ml and it was detected in 31 (68.9%, P: 0.0001 HS), 31 (68.9%, P : 0.0001 HS) ,and 32 (71.1%, P: 0.0001 HS) patients respectively, while the rheumatiod factors (IgG,IgM, and IgA)were normal in healthy control group . Statistically RF screen has a highly significant association with RF IgG, IgM, and IgA (P= 0.0001). Anti-Cathapsin G was found in 12(26.7%, P value: 0.019) of patients with rheumatic arthritis patients. This study showed a association between the positive result of anti-Cathapsin G with RF IgG and RF IgM (35.5%, P: 0.047) the results were the same for both, while no association found with RF IgA (25%, P: 0.692).
Conclusion: A significant correlation was found between anti-Cathapsin G and patients with rheumatiod arthritis and has a significant association with RF IgG and RF IgM while RF IgA had no relation with anti-Cathapsin G.
In this paper, we used four classification methods to classify objects and compareamong these methods, these are K Nearest Neighbor's (KNN), Stochastic Gradient Descentlearning (SGD), Logistic Regression Algorithm(LR), and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). Weused MCOCO dataset for classification and detection the objects, these dataset image wererandomly divided into training and testing datasets at a ratio of 7:3, respectively. In randomlyselect training and testing dataset images, converted the color images to the gray level, thenenhancement these gray images using the histogram equalization method, resize (20 x 20) fordataset image. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for feature extraction, andfinally apply four classification metho

Also, we introduce the concepts of fibrewise closed fuzzy topological spaces, fibrewise open fuzzy topological spaces, fibrewise locally sliceable fuzzy topological spaces and fibrewise locally sectionable fuzzy topological spaces. Furthermore, we state and prove several theorems concerning these concepts.
Csaszar introduced the concept of generalized topological space and a new open set in a generalized topological space called -preopen in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Definitions of -preinterior and -preclosuer were given. Successively, several studies have appeared to give many generalizations for an open set. The object of our paper is to give a new type of generalization of an open set in a generalized topological space called -semi-p-open set. We present the definition of this set with its equivalent. We give definitions of -semi-p-interior and -semi-p-closure of a set and discuss their properties. Also the properties of -preinterior and -preclosuer are discussed. In addition, we give a new type of continuous function
... Show MoreLet M be an R-module, where R is commutative ring with unity. In this paper we study the behavior of strongly hollow and quasi hollow submodule in the class of strongly comultiplication modules. Beside this we give the relationships between strongly hollow and quasi hollow submodules with V-coprime, coprime, bi-hollow submodules.
In this paper, we prove some coincidence and common fixed point theorems for a pair of discontinuous weakly compatible self mappings satisfying generalized contractive condition in the setting of Cone-b- metric space under assumption that the Cone which is used is nonnormal. Our results are generalizations of some recent results.
In this paper, two of the local search algorithms are used (genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization), in scheduling number of products (n jobs) on a single machine to minimize a multi-objective function which is denoted as (total completion time, total tardiness, total earliness and the total late work). A branch and bound (BAB) method is used for comparing the results for (n) jobs starting from (5-18). The results show that the two algorithms have found the optimal and near optimal solutions in an appropriate times.
In this paper, we introduce a new type of functions in bitopological spaces, namely, (1,2)*-proper functions. Also, we study the basic properties and characterizations of these functions . One of the most important of equivalent definitions to the (1,2)*-proper functions is given by using (1,2)*-cluster points of filters . Moreover we define and study (1,2)*-perfect functions and (1,2)*-compact functions in bitopological spaces and we study the relation between (1,2)*-proper functions and each of (1,2)*-closed functions , (1,2)*-perfect functions and (1,2)*-compact functions and we give an example when the converse may not be true .
The main idea of this research is to consider fibrewise pairwise versions of the more important separation axioms of ordinary bitopology named fibrewise pairwise - spaces, fibrewise pairwise - spaces, fibrewise pairwise - spaces, fibrewise pairwise -Hausdorff spaces, fibrewise pairwise functionally -Hausdorff spaces, fibrewise pairwise -regular spaces, fibrewise pairwise completely -regular spaces, fibrewise pairwise -normal spaces and fibrewise pairwise functionally -normal spaces. In addition we offer some results concerning it.
