The results showed that age group (more than 5 years) and deity 56% when compared with the other groups and recorded the results .There is a high significant difference between males and females in the pathogenesis of parasitic and viral infection when the probability p < 0.01, male recode (62.00-60.00)% more than female (40.00-38.00)% on serias.
This study was established to investigate the correlation between the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1) and the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Blood samples were collected from 55 female patients with inflammatory OA and controls for estimation of serum (MMP-1) levels. In the current study, there is significant increase (p<0.001) in the mean of serum MMP-1 levels in osteoarthritis females (4027.73 ± 1345.28 pg/ml) than that in control females (798.76 ± 136.79 pg/ml). It was concluded that MMP-1 may be associated with the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.
