Back ground: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a common complication of all liver diseases. However clinical and experimental data suggest a direct role of HCV in the perturbation of glucose metabolism. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of HCV infection as a risk factor to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to study the immunopathogenicity of HCV in diabetes mellitus patients, through the assessment of IFN-γ, TNF- α and IL-10 serum levels.
Objectives: Is to investigate the role of HCV infection as a risk factor to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to study the immunopathogenecity of HCV in diabetes mellitus patients, through the assessment of IFN-γ, TNF- α and IL-10 serum levels.
Patients and Methods: Thirty six known T2D patients attending the endocrine and diabetes center in Baghdad for check-up were enrolled in this study. Their age ranged from 15- 70 year. Twenty one patients have T2D only while the other Fifteen were have diabetes with HCV infection. Thirteen healthy individuals without any signs or symptoms of disease were also included in this study as healthy controls. Serum levels of cytokines including IFN- γ, TNF-α and IL-10 were analyzed by ELISA immunoassay.
Results: Higher serum levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α were observed in the investigated HCV patients with diabetes (43.87pg/ml, 68.1pg/ml respectively) compared to T2D patients (19.75 and 55.10 pg/ml respectively) and controls (8.08 and 31.4 pg/ml respectively). The statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between these three groups (P= 0.01). The mean serum levels of IL-10 were significantly elevated in T2D group as compared to HCV patients with T2D and control groups (28.7, 10.32, 15.78 pg/ml respectively, p=0.05).
Conclusion: The over production of proinflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ, TNF- α) and the low IL-10 level could play a crucial role in pathogenesis of HCV that leads to T2D via increasing the insulin resistance.
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of vitamin D3 local injections on apical root resorption, alveolar bone integrity, and chair-side time following three and six months of canine retraction. Subjects and Methods: Seventeen adult patients (18-35 years old) of class I and II malocclusions were recruited, who required bilateral maxillary 1st premolars extraction before starting maxillary canines retraction. The experimental side received 25 pg dose of vitamin D3 injected locally into the distal periodontal sulcus of the canine (before force application) every three weeks, while the control side received retraction force only. Periapical radiographic evaluation was conducted after 3 and 6 months of the start of canines' retraction. Results: At

Following the descriptive and analytical approach in the research, the first chapter dealt with a presentation of the methodological framework of the problem, the goal, the limits of the research, the importance and the need for it and the definition of terms, as well as the theoretical framework which consisted of two topics, including the impact of the epic theater on the world theater and the second the effect of the epic theater on the Arab theater, This came by tracing the epic impact on the world stage of the Greeks, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Arab theater of the twentieth century.
As for the second

The objective of this study is to test In Vitro the twenty chemical compounds that contains Schiff base or oxazepine, indoline, imidazolo units in concentrations( 50, 100, 150) mg / dl as antifungal activity, against three pathogenic Candida species that occur in humans. We tested one isolates of
) Candida albicans ,Candida glabrata and Candida krusei). All these species affect human health . The study was carried out in the Laboratory of Public Health , directly of health for the period from May 2016 to April 2017 , Candida spp isolates used in this study were collected from patients admitted at some private c

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli can be found in raw cow milk and its derivatives. A small number of Escherichia coli strains that produce shiga toxin are pathogenic. Aim of study: The study aimed to see if there were any virulence genes in 50 milk samples that were typical of Entero-haemorrhagic E. coli and evaluate the Myrtus communis effects on these bacteria. Materials and Method: Milk samples were used to isolate E. coli bacteria (n= 27), biochemically analyzed, and genetically screened for virulence genes using a multiplex (PCR). The hydro-alcoholic extraction of Myrtus communis leave

Ba(A=130-136, Z=56) isotopes was studied using (IBM-1). The reduced matrix element of magnetic dipole moment (11 II f(Ml) II/,) and the magnetic dipole transitions probability B(M 1) were calculated
for one and two bodies of even-even Ba(A=lJ0-136, Z=56). A good
agreement had been found of present with available experimental data.

The current study was to examine the reliability and effectiveness of using most abundant, inexpensive waste in the form of scrap raw zero valent aluminum ZVAI and zero valent iron ZVI for the capture, retard, and removal of one of the most serious and hazardous heavy metals cadmium dissolved in water. Batch tests were conducted to examine contact time (0-250) min, sorbent dose (0.25-1 g ZVAI/100 mL and 2-8 g ZVI/100 mL), initial pH (3-6), pollutant concentration of 50mg/L initially, and speed of agitation (0-250) rpm . Maximum contaminant removal efficiency corresponding to (90 %) for cadmium at 250 min contact time, 1g ZVAI/ 6g ZVI sorbent mass ratio, pH 5.5, pollutant concentration of 50 mg/L initially, and 250 rpm agitation speed wer
