Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Levels and Related Parameters in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Prone to Atherosclerosis
...Show More Authors

  The study aimed to estimate  the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)  and visfatin as a novel  pro inflammatory marker in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA ) according to the activity scores of disease to assess the possibility of introducing glucagon-like peptide-1 and visfatin in the diagnosis and monitoring of RA patients and to found the correlation  of visfatin level with GLP-1 and AIP in patients prone to atherosclerosis ,fifty  healthy individuals as control group (G1) and fifty rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (G2) were enrolled in this study with middle age  ranged (30 – 40) years and BMI ≥24 kg/m2. ESR ,RF, lipid profile, CRP,insulin, visfatin and GLP-1were determined. Results in table (1) revealed highly significant increase in ESR,RF,TC,TG,LDL,VLDL and AIP level in rheumatoid arthritis (G2) comparing  to (G1) while significant decrease noticed in (G2) group comparing  to (G1). Results in table(2) showed highly significant increase in insulin ,CRP, visfatin and GLP-1 level   Results in table(3) illustrated correlation relation data and results revealed highly significant ,were r=0.035 for GLP-1 with visfatin for (G1), and highly significant , r= -0.089 for (G2)  as shown in figure(1-A) and(1-B),  the result also highly significant were r= -0.183 for  GLP-1 with CRP for control group and significant ,r= 0.043 for GLP-1 with CRP  for RA group as shown in figure(2-A) and(2-B), and  significant, r= -0.056 for GLP-1with AIP  for G1 and no significant, were r= 0.042 for GLP-1 with AIP  for G2  as  shown in figure (3-A)and (3-B). conclusion that summarized from this study is glucagon-like peptide-1 and  visfatin plays a role in RA pathogenesis that can be considered marker in RA . and may be used as a drug in future for  RA patients.

Study adhesion ability of of Aeromonas hydrophila strains isolated from raw and drinking water in Baghdad city
...Show More Authors

The ability of A.hydrophila isolates (63 isolates) to form biofilm, was studied and the results showed that fifty six isolates (88.8%) gave positive results in Congo red agar, while 51 isolates ( 80.7%) gave positive results in Christensen method, sixty isolates( 95.2%) produced biofilm on Polystyrene microtiter plates. Results revealed that all drinking water isolates produced biofilm (18 isolates )and 42 raw water isolates produced biofilm (depending on Polystyrene microtiter plates test). The more two efficient isolates(one isolated from drinking water DW, and other isolated from raw watervRW) which produced biofilm was chosen to study the effect of different values of temperature and disinfectants on the ability of A.hydrophila to ad

Study of the Stimulating and Attractive Factors of Oviposition of Culex pipiens (Diptera; Culicidae) in Different Environments
...Show More Authors

     The study of the chemical and physical factors that induce egg-laying is important for understanding mosquitoes' ecology. These substances may also help assess and control mosquito populations. With this in mind, we have highlighted the attractiveness of Culex pipiens gravid females concerning the containers' color and surface, which has enabled us to show that females of this species are always attracted to large containers of yellow. The ethological tests were made with four biopesticides on the attractiveness of C. pipiens females. It has been observed that the highest densities of the eggs are deposited in the container which contains the biopesticides extracts compared to that which includes the spring wat

Investigating the Histological Changes in Heart, Lung, Liver and Kidney of Male Albino Mice Treated with Ivabradine
...Show More Authors

            The present study aimed to investigate the histological changes of heart, lung, liver and kidney which caused by different concentrations (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) of Ivabradine. Results of the study revealed some histological changes represented by aggregation of the lymphocytes around respiratory bronchioles of the lung. In the liver, the drug caused hepatocyte necrosis and infiltration of the lymphocytes. In Kidney, there are no histopathological modifications in the tissue after the animals treated with 10 mg\kg of Ivabradine. When the animals treated with Ivabradine drug at 20mg/kg of bw, dose showed vascular congestion between myocardial fibers of heart. Emphysematous c

Evaluation of The Effect of Fisetin against Cyclophosphamide-Induced Myelosuppression and Oxidative Stress in Male Albino Rats
...Show More Authors

Myelosuppression is a serious disease that is related to the malfunction of blood cells production that leads to cytopenia which is the most serious hematologic toxicity of cancer chemotherapies including cyclophosphamide, which is a strong oxazaphosphorine [a nitrogen mustard alkylating agent] that can be used alone or combined with other chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of different malignant diseases. It induces severe bone marrow suppression by damaging hematopoietic stem cells through the generation of oxidative stress. Fisetin is a hydrophobic polyphenolic compound with a wide range of pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, osteoprotective, antidiabetic, and anti-carcinogenic
