Overexpression of HER-2\neu receptor protein in Urinary Bladder Carcinoma, An Immunohistochemical Study.
...Show More Authors

Background: Bladder carcinoma is one of the most common cancer worldwide, it accounts for 6.5% of all cancers, with highest incidence in industrialized countries .It represents the fourth most common cancer in men and the eighth in women. Bladder carcinoma depends in its pathogenesis on a combination of genetic and environmental factors, these factors produce phenotypic changes that allow normal transitional cells to become cancerous and finally acquire the “malignant phenotype".  Many attempts had been tried to explore the role of some genetic abnormalities encountered in bladder carcinoma. It has indicated that many genetic abnormalities may underline the pathogenesis of cancer evolution of urinary bladder like VEGF , P53, Bcl2 and RB, but nowadays a scientific efforts have raised the possible role of Her-2/neu in bladder carcinoma, and the rate of its overexpression in bladder carcinoma is ranging from 2% - 74%. 
Objective: To estimate immunohistochemical expression of HER-2\neu receptor protein in Urinary Bladder Carcinoma in relation to other parameters; sex grade, pattern of tumor and stage of tumor .
Methods: The present work is performed in the Department of Pathology and Forensic medicine, College of Medicine, Kufa University. Formalin fixed, Paraffin-embedded blocks from 60 (43 males and 17 females) patients with urinary bladder carcinoma were included in this study. A group of 12 patients with chronic cystitis were included as a control group. Avidin-Biotin Complex method was employed for immunohistochemical detection of HER-2\neu.
Results: HER-2\neu overexpression was positive in 41.6% of urinary bladder carcinoma, while there was no expression in benign bladder tissue (P<0.05). HER-2\neu immunohistochemical staining was positively correlated with, grade and stage of urinary bladder carcinoma (P<0.05).
Conclusion: These findings support the role of HER-2\neu in the carcinogenesis of urinary bladder carcinoma regarding behavior, and aggressiveness, and thus HER-2\neu could be considered as a poor prognostic parameter in urinary bladder carcinoma.

Urinary tract infection in Hemodialysis patients with renal failure
...Show More Authors

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in dialysis patients, are associated with increased rate of complications, and may be difficult to diagnose due to often subclinical presentation.
Objectives: To examine theprevalence of urinary tract infections in hemodialysis patients with renal failure, and to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of pyuria as a screening test in hemodialysis patients.
Patients and Methods: A total of forty hemodialysis patients (27 males and 13 females) with renal failure were selected according to the study criteria. Clean-catch mid-stream urine specimens were obtained from study patients, their urinalysis and bacterial culture were performed according to standard techn

Prevalence of Urinary Schistosomiasis in Al-Rusafah Regions of Baghdad governarate
...Show More Authors

Urinary Schistosomiasis is one of important diseases that cause irritation and damage of urinary tract and other systems and tissues and can not be expected by doctors when diagnosing urinary tract diseases.The current study is conducted to investigate the prevalence of schistosomiasisin Baghdad / Al-Rusafa. 191urine samples were collected fromresidents ofsome areas of Al-Rusafain Baghdad governarate (Almashtal, Albaladyat, Alameen, Baghdad aljadida and Alnahrawan) for the period from March until the end of September 2010.The samples were examined by the precipitation and examination of micro hematuria by reagent strips. The total infection percentage was 9.42% (18/191) and was significantly higher in males compared tofemales12.64% (11/87)

Synthesis and Spectro-Kinetic Study of the Complexes of Pd+2 Ion with 2-(5-Bromo-2- pyridylazo)5diethylaminophenol Reagent in Ethanol – Water Solutions
...Show More Authors

      The complexes of Pd+2 ion with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-dieıhyl aminophenol (BPADAP) were studied kinetically and spectrophotometrically in aqueous ethanolic solutions. The reagent forms 1:1, 2:1 square planer and 1:1 bridged shape binuclear complexes with Pd+2 ion. All these complexes (violet colour) absorb light in the same region at 540, 575 and 618nm. The band at 618 nm seems to be specific for complexes of Pd+2ion with BPADAP.   The rate constants of the growth in 93% H2O + 7% ethanol of 1:1 and 2:1 complexes at 575 and 618 nm were followed the first order kinetics and are quite of the same values , 0.495 and 0.463 min- 1  respectively. The rate constants of the decay of 2:1 complex

...Show More Authors

The main goal of our research is to synthesize novel nano Zn2+ complex with the 8-(2-(dansyl chloride)azo) adenine (LA) ligand as a pH sensor because of its advantageous properties, obtained from a single molecule. The Zn2⁺- LA complex was based on the production of an intensely dark purple-colored substance with λmax at 552 nm. Molar ratio of Zn2⁺- LA complex is a 1:2 in aqueous buffer. The optimum concentration (0.3) mM, pH (2-5.5), and time (0-3) hr at pH=5.5, that in the studies followed Lambert-law Beer'

USE OF APRICOT KERNELS PROTEIN ISOLATE IN BURGER INDUSTRY
...Show More Authors

The current study was conducted with the aim of fortifying meat burger with the protein isolate extracted from defatted sweetened and unsweetened apricot kernels. The antimicrobial activity of defatted apricot kernels and protein isolates of sweetened and unsweetened kernels against some pathogenic microbes was studied, and it was characterized by its effect on gram-positive bacteria more than gram-negative bacteria. As for its effect on yeast, the inhibition diameter was 4.5 mm at a concentration of 200 mg for the unsweetened protein isolate. As for its effect on mold, the inhibition percentage was between 56.05 65.21% for all samples at a concentration of 100 mg. The sweetened and unsweetened protein isolate was used in the manufact

Topology-Based Modularity and Modularity Density for Detecting Protein Complexes: A Comparative Study
...Show More Authors

     Binary relations or interactions among bio-entities, such as proteins, set up the essential part of any living biological system. Protein-protein interactions are usually structured in a graph data structure called "protein-protein interaction networks" (PPINs). Analysis of PPINs into complexes tries to lay out the significant knowledge needed to answer many unresolved questions, including how cells are organized and how proteins work. However, complex detection problems fall under the category of non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-Hard) problems due to their computational complexity. To accommodate such combinatorial explosions, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are proven effective alternatives to heuristics in solvin

Background: Alteration in the expression of p53 tumor-suppressor protein is an event that occurs frequently in human cancer, but the practical implications of this phenomenon are yet to be fully exploited.
Objectives: to determine the value of p53 expression as a marker of tumor aggressiveness and the relationship between p53 over expression and clinico-pathologic variables in gastric adenocarcinoma.
Material & Methods: The expression of p53 was studied immunohisto-chemically in 10 cases with gastric dysplasia and 85 cases with gastric adenocarcinomas using formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples. D07 a monoclonal antibody to p53 protein was used for the immunehistochemical analysis. The c
