Determination of Magnesium, Zinc, and Reduced Glutathione Levels in Serum of Asthmatic Patients
...Show More Authors

Asthma  is a disease  characterized by hyper reactivity  of the trachea and   bronchi   to  reversible   either   spontaneously  or  as  a  result   of treatment.

In this study serum magnesium,  Zinc, and reduced glutathione  levels

were  meas ured  in  order  to  determine   their  levels  in  the  asthmatic patients and comparing  these levels with healthy controls.

Fifty-  four  asthmatic   patients  were  enrolled  in  the  study  and  had their pulmonary  function test, and the levels of Mg,Zn, and GSH.

Serum   magnesium   and  serum   zinc  were  determined   by  using Atomic  Absorption  Spectrophotometer . While serum glutathione was determined  by spectrophotometric analysis.

The asthmatic  patients were divided into four groups according  to the  interpretation of  the  pulmonary  function  test  : severe  expiratory flow limitation, moderate  expiratory  flow limitation  , slight expiratory flow limitation and normal lung values .

In  this  study,  it  was  found  that  serum  magnesium  levels  in  severe cases  of  asthmatic  patients  were significantly lower  than  the healthy control  population  (0.92 ± 0.17mmol  I L vs.l.O1  Â± 0.19 mmol/L; (p<

0.05 )] while  the other cases did not show  any significant  differences compared  with the healthy control .

As  for  serum   zinc  levels,  it  was  found   that  the  slight  cases  of asthmatic  patients  were  significantly  higher  than  the  healthy  control [   19.48  Â±  1.93   fl mol/L  vs.   17.01  Â±  2.94   fl  moi/L;  (P<0.05   )]. However,   the  other  cases  did  not  show  any  significant   differences compared  with healthy control.

While   serum   glutathione   levels   in  severe   and   slight   cases   of

asthmatic  patients were lower than the healthy control. [2.08 ± 0.51

 

 

mmol/L vs. 2.42 ± 0.21 mmol/L; (P< 0.001), and 1.95 ±0.36 mmol/ L

  1. 2.42± 0.21 mmol/L; (P< O.Ol)],respectively.

It was  found  that there  is  a  correlation  between  the  severity  of asthma   as   measured   by  pulmonary   function   test  and  levels  of magnesium  and glutathione  levels, the more severe one showed low levels of magnesium and glutathione .

Association between glycaemic control and serum lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients: Glycatedhaemoglobin as a dual biomarker
...Show More Authors

Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased prevalence of lipid abnormalities, contributing to their high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a routinely used marker for long-term glycemic control. In accordance with its function as an indicator for the mean blood glucose level, HbA1c predicts the risk for the development of diabetic complications in diabetic patients[2].Apart from classical risk factors like dyslipidemia, HbA1c has now been regarded as an independent risk factor for (CVD) in subjects with or without diabetes.Objective The aim of this study was to find out association between glycaemic control (HbA1c as a marker) and serum lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods

Reduced hardware requirements of deep neural network for breast cancer diagnosis
...Show More Authors

Identifying breast cancer utilizing artificial intelligence technologies is valuable and has a great influence on the early detection of diseases. It also can save humanity by giving them a better chance to be treated in the earlier stages of cancer. During the last decade, deep neural networks (DNN) and machine learning (ML) systems have been widely used by almost every segment in medical centers due to their accurate identification and recognition of diseases, especially when trained using many datasets/samples. in this paper, a proposed two hidden layers DNN with a reduction in the number of additions and multiplications in each neuron. The number of bits and binary points of inputs and weights can be changed using the mask configuration

Correlation of Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers with serum GDF-15 in a group of hypertensive Iraqi patients
...Show More Authors

The Growth Differentiation Factor -15 (GDF-15) is a member of the transforming growth factor β superfamily. İt represents an example of the stress response cytokines. It's mostly found in cardiac myocytes, adipocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, and vascular endothelial cells, whether they're generated normally or not. GDF-15 levels have increased and are associated with cardiovascular risk. Aim of the study: To investigate the correlation between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) with the level of plasma GDF-15 in a group of hypertensive patients. Materials and methods: A case-control study involved 90 individuals, 60 hypertensive patients (36 on ACE inhibitors and 24 on ARBs)

Partially purification of alanine aminopeptidase from serum of type II diabetic patients with cardiac disease
...Show More Authors

This studay was performd on 30 serum specimens of patients having type II diabetes with cardiac disease, and 40 normal specimens were investigated as control group.The activity rate of AAP in patients (125.31± 3.28)I.U/L and activity rate of AAP in normals (6.76±2.21) I.U/L, in addition purification of AAP from serum patients having type II diabetes with cardiac diaease by using dialysis bag and gel filtration (Sephadex G-50). The results of the study reveal that Alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) activity of type II diabetes with cardiac disease patients' serum show a high signifiacant increase (p<0.001) compare to normal subject .

Background: Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G)and Toll-like receptor-9 (TLR-9)play a role in the regulation of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory processes. Aim of the study: To detect the HLA-G + 3142G > C gene polymorphism that associated with the susceptibility to SLE patients and associated with Hepatitis B infection and TLR-9 serum level. Patients and methods: This study was done on 75 SLE patients and 75 healthy control groups. Genotyping of HLA-G + 3142G > C were detected by PCR and PCR-RFLP methods. In addition to the estimation of Hepatitis B surface (HBs)antigen status by immunochromatography technique and TLR-9 serum level by ELISA technique. Results: The HLA-G + 3142G > C gene polymorphism between the SLE patients and controls
