Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells characterized by the increased and unregulated growth of predominantly myeloid cells in the bone marrow. This study aimed to determine the effect of chronic myeloid leukemia on Dental caries and Oral health status including Gingivitis, Loss of attachment, Plaque index and Calculus index as well as evaluation of salivary flow rate and salivary interleukins-6 and tumor necrosis factor-?. Material and methods: Study group consisted of (75) subjects, (25) were newly diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, (25) were taking medications (Glevic), and (25) were control subjects, all aged 45-55 years old. Collection of stimulated salivary samples was performed under standard conditions, then salivary flow rate and salivary cytokines estimation was done. Clinical examination and oral health assessment were carried out under the standardized conditions of oral health surveys of World Health organization. dental plaque was scored according to the criteria of plaque Index by Silness and Loe(1964), Dental calculus was scored following the criteria of calculus component of the periodontal Index (Ramfjord, 1959), assessment of gingival health done according to the criteria of gingival Index for Loe and Silness (1963) and loss of attachment done following the criteria of WHO (1997). Caries assessment was done according to the WHO modified Decayed-Missing-Filled Index (DMF) and examination was done with a plane mouth mirror and CPI probe. Results: DMFS index were higher in the newly diagnosed group followed by the control group and then the treated group but the LSD test showed that differences were statistically not significant between each two groups, Plaque index was higher in the newly diagnosed group, and the differences were statistically significant only between the newly and the control group (p<0.05), Calculus index was higher in the newly diagnosed group and the difference was statistically significant between the newly diagnosed group and the treated group. Gingival index was higher in the control group and the difference was statistically highly significant between the new and control groups (p<0.01) and also highly significant between control group and the treated group. Loss of attachment index was higher in the control group the LSD test show that the difference was statistically significant between the control group and each one of the other two groups. In regard to saliva, salivary flow rate was higher in the control group; the difference was significant between the control and the newly diagnosed group and highly significant between control and the treated group. Interleukin-6 level was higher in the newly diagnosed group then the treated group then the control group. LSD test show that the difference was statistically significant between the new and the treated group (p<0.05) and it was highly significant between the new and the control group (p<0.01) but it was not significant between the treated and control group. TNF-? level was higher in newly diagnosed group followed by the treated group then the control group and the difference was statistically significant with the treated group and highly significant with the control group, but the difference was not significant between the treated and the control group. Conclusion: Salivary Interluekine-6 and Tumor necrosis factor- ? levels were higher in the newly diagnosed group. Saliva provides an ideal tool for the detection of pro-inflammatory markers. Salivary IL-6and TNF-? may play an important role as biomarkers for CMLand IL-6 is more predictable for the response to the treatment than TNF-?.
Abstract
The current research aims to identify the level of partnership between school and community agencies to improve secondary school outcomes for students with intellectual disabilities and develop strategies that help enhance community partnerships between schools and agencies. The researcher used the qualitative research approach; he utilized the interviews as a tool for data collection. The sample of research included (12) participants: three female school leaders, three male-school leaders, three female-school supervisors, and three male-school supervisors in schools that have programs for students with intellectual disabilities in Riyadh. The results of the study showed that the level of partnership bet

The two methods were used for calculation, zone method, and an integral method. The work was conducted by using two wire condensers with equal length but different in tube diameters, two refrigerants, R-134a and R-600a, and two different compressors matching the refrigerant type. In the experimental work, the optimum charge was found for the refrigerator according to ASHRAE recommendation. Then, the tests were done at 32˚C ambient temperature in a closed room with dimension (2m*2m*3m). The results showed that th

Efficacy of Varnishes with: Bioactive Glass, Recaldent Technology and Silver Diamine Fluoride in Comparison with Sodium Fluoride on Tooth Surface Micro-hardness (an In Vitro Study)
Asbestos is a hazard pollutant to human health, exposure to asbestos cause serious health effects and wide range of asbestos-related diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma and it has been classified as carcinogen by the World Health Organization WHO which cause a carcinogenic effects. Fibers of asbestos are mainly released from friction product in brakes and clutch linings and from reinforce agent in the asbestos cement industry. The aim of this was to evaluate the levels of asbestos fibers in surroundings air of some dense traffic points in Baghdad, through winter 2020. Materials and Methods: Samples of airs was carried out by directing air flow to a mixed cellulose ester membrane filter mounted on an open face

Cr2O3 thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis on a glass substrate. Absorbance and transmittance spectra were recorded in the wavelength range (300-900) nm before and after annealing. The effects of annealing temperature on absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant and optical conductivity were expected. It was found that all these parameters increase as the annealing temperature increased to 550°C.

Agility is considered an important motor ability for assistant referees and it is vital for passing modern tests issued in September 2016. The researcher used the experimental method. The subjects were (10) referees; four of them for pilot study. The experimental group followed the exercises designed by the while the controlling group used the traditional exercises followed by the refereeing committee. All referees were tested the standardized agility test issued by the FIFA. The researchers concluded that agility plays a vital role in developing some refereeing skill. Finally they recommend developing agility for improving refereeing skills.
Applications of microalgae in environmental studies have recently increased. Current uses of immobilized microalga Chlorella vulgaris include reducing pharmaceutical substances such as amoxicillin AMX and potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 on freshwater clam Pseudodontopsis euphraticus as a biotic model. Recent research pointed out a change in biomarkers of oxidative stress in an evaluation of induced toxicity. Where clams were exposed to different concentrations100, 200, and 400 mg/L for 7 days and 20, 30, and 50 mg/L for 5 days of amoxicillin and potassium dichromate, respectively. The results showed that exposure to AMX and K2Cr2O7 led to a signific
