The study aimed to compare the expression of miR-126-3p and miR-423-5p in patients and normal subjects, and correlate their expression with response to induction therapy. Circulating miR-126-3p and miR-423-5p were measured in the plasma of 43 adult AML patients and 35 age- and sex-matched controls by real time PCR. The foldchange in differential expression for each gene was calculated using the comparative cycle threshold (CT) method (also known as the 2−CT method). For statistical purposes, the fold change was calculated using DDCT (or 2–∆∆Ct) method to find the relative expression of miRNAs. The expression fold change of miR-126-3p was 1.73-fold increase in patients than controls (p= 0.010). The expression fold change of miR-423-5

Abstract Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) results from sequential genetic alterations in a normal hematopoietic stem cell or its progenitors giving rise to an autonomous clone that dominates the bone marrow leading to marrow failure. MicroRNAs are short non-coding nucleic acid sequences that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression by base-pairing with their target mRNAs. MiRNAs can be secreted into extracellular fluids and carried to target cells by vesicles or bound to proteins. Intracellular and circulating miRNAs are believed to be useful markers in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various cancers. Practically, circulating miRNAs are more stable at room temperatures and extreme conditions. Purpose: This study aim

In the present paper, the researcher attempts to shed some light on the objective behind inserting some Qur'anic verses by Al-Zahraa (Peace Be Upon Her) in her revered speech. Besides, it tries to investigate the hidden meaning of these verses and to study them in the light of pragmaticreferences. This task is supported by Books of Tafseer as well as the books that explained this speech to arrive at its intended meaning. It is possible say that this is astep towards studying speeches of 'Ahlul Bayt' (People of the Prophet's household) in terms of modern linguistic studies, as well as employing modern methods to explore the aesthetic values of these texts.

Le mot anglais code switching ou l’équivalent français alternance codique est un terme très utilisé dans des recherches qui traitent des problèmes en sociolinguistique. Le bilingue dispose, dans son répertoire linguistique, de moyens de communication qui lui permettent d’adapter son langage à des situations de communication plus variées que ceux du monolingue. Le code-switching ou l’alternance codique qui est un lieu de structuration de stratégies de communication en est un moyen indispensable.
L’alternance codique dans la conversation est l’utilisation d’un mot ou plus appartenant à une langue B à l’intérieur d’une phrase qui appartient à une langue A. Dans la plupart des cas, le locuteur se sert de l’a

ResumenEste artículo ofrece una revisión bibliográfica relacionada con la pragmática intercultural en la enseñanza del español a los nativos árabes. El campo de estudio conocido como pragmática intercultural analiza cómo los factores culturales afectan a la comunicación tanto verbal como no verbal en varios contextos lingüísticos. Comprender los matices pragmáticos y culturales es crucial cuando se enseña español a estudiantes de habla árabe para facilitar la comunicación efectiva y el aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera. Se analizan las principales ideas teóricas y los enfoques metodológicos utilizados para abordar la pragmática intercultural en la enseñanza del español a la población de estudiant

El tema de esta investigación está directamente relacionado con el papel del léxico en la enseñanza-aprendizaje del español como segunda lengua en el sistema de enseñanza universitariairaquí, donde se llevó a cabo la investigación empírica y la propuesta de criterios de la selección de léxico español.

Este estudio se ha centrado concretamente en los alumnos irakíes de nivel elemental que estudian elespañol como segunda lengua extranjera. Con el fin de conocer los estilos de enseñanza-aprendizaje del vocabulario practicado en las aulas, de determinar las faltas en la selección léxica y realizar propuestas de mejorar la competencia  léxica,  hemos efectuado el an

Parasitological examination of gills of three species of sparid fishes in the territorial waters of Iraq was performed, two diplectanid monogenoids were isolated and described; Lamellodiscus indicus Tripathi, 1959 from both Haffara seabream Rhabdosargus haffara (Forsskål, 1775) and Goldline seabream R. sarba (Forsskål, 1775) and Protolamellodiscus senilobatus Kritsky, Jiménez-Ruiz and Sey, 2000 from King soldierbream Argyrops spinifer (Forsskål, 1775). The record of the parasites is considered new to the parasite fauna of Iraq. The redescription of L. indicus for the first time which is collected from a new distribution area (Arabian Gulf). R. haffara is considered a new host record .

    Nine fish specimens of Thryssa setirostris (Broussonet, 1782) were collected from the Arabian Gulf, during the period from July 2015 to April 2016. Because of the scarcity of this fish and overlapping and ambiguous of its taxonomic characters with other Thryssa spp., a detailed taxonomic study was conducted. The present study includes the most important meristic and morphometric characteristics.

    The mean of the total length of the specimens was 149.67 mm; dorsal fin consists of 12 rays, anal fin with 34-37 rays and pectoral fin with 12-13 rays; Gill rakers were 4 upper,1 medial an.10 lower. The most important character that isolates T. setiristis from
