A New Biological System For Detecting Environmetal Carcinogens And /Or Mutagenes And Their Adversary
...Show More Authors

A  new  test  system  for  detecting  environment  carcinogenes and/or  mutagenes  and  their  adversary  It  has  been  induced.  One hundred and fifty   mutants   were isolated from   the basidiomycete fungus Coprinus cinereus   which were   resistant to guanine analogue S- az.aguanine .All the spontaneous and induced with UV light origin mutants were isolated from the wild type strains Bc9/6.6 and  Hd5.5

.These mutants were te ted on selective medium containing  different

concentrations of the analogue and also to their ability to usc purine bases and their degredated  products as  a sole  nitrogene source were tested ; and their ability to grow on HAT   medium was tested . According  to  the results obtained  from these test;  mutants  were

classified into four phenotypic groups for each  iJd -type strain .

All  the  8-az.aguanine  resistant  mutants  were  d.ikaryotized   with

compatible wild strains. The dikaryons produced were unable to grow on  medium           containing        8-az.aguanine                     which               establish the recessiveness of the mutations to their respective wi ld-type alleles. Complementation   test  detcrmind  four  genes   which  controll   the resi stance  to 8- azaguaninc in Coprinus cincres   .These genes were desi gnated  azg-1, azg-2, azg'-3, azg-4.Three of these genes azg-1, azg-2 and azg'-4werc carried by Bc9/6.6 and Hl /5.5 mutants. While, azg-3 gene  was found in Bc9/6.6 mutants only.

These  genes  are determ.ind for  the  first  time  in  fungus coprinus cinereus  .

Mutants which carry azg-1  gene were characterized by their inability to use   hypozanthine and                                              guanine as a sole nitrogen source in the

medium ; their failure to grow  on HAT medium  and their resistance

to all concentrations of 8- az.aguanine used.This gene is considered to

represent  a mutation led to   lose or   modify the specificity of the enzyme hypoxauthine -guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) whi ch play an important role in transferring hypoxauthine and guanine to their nucleotides  by salvage pathway.

Spore analysis indi cated that azg'-1  gene locted in linkage group II

,since it gave a distance of 28 map units with the mating type gene

The assessment of the cytotoxic , mutagn ic and antimutagc•tic role of

the  aqueous extract of  garl ic     (Allium  sativum  L.)  against the genotoxic effect of mitomycin - C

( MMC ) evaluate the ability of the mutagen to induce mutation in

HGPRT gene by    using the asexual spores (oidia )of Copninus cineraus for the strain AZG78 and by depending on the viabil ity and mutation rate in HGPRT gene test .To assess cytotoxity and mutagenecity of garlic extract , gradual concentrations were prepared . The concentration of choice was considered with respect to  two factors ; high survi val rate and low mutagenic  activity (similar to negative control ). To examine the antimutagenic  effects of  the extract, an interation was made between the crude  extract and the mutagen   MMC with respect to three kinds of treatments before , aOer and with mutagen . The study concentrated on two sides 1- on the toxic and /or m utagenic effect of the aqueous extract of garlic . 2 - Antimutagenic activity of the extract with respect to   the mutageen MMC . However,   this activity was dependent on the type of the treatment . The extract showed best antimutagenic activity when it was used before the mutagen , so itis considered as desmutagen to the genotox i c effects of MMC.

These data support the hypothesis that garlic compounds may be eflicacius in preventions of cancer and also we could use the HGPRT

gene as  a  sensitive biological  system  in  detecting environmental mutagenes or carcinogens and their adversary .

Grammatical Behaviour and Uses of Negative and Prohibitive Particles in Semitic Languages: A Comparative Semitic Study
...Show More Authors

      Grammatical particles are so important in understanding a text and its meaning in linguistic context. This paper  " Grammatical Behavior and Uses of Negative and Prohibitive Particles in Semitic Languages: A Comparative Semitic Study"

      tackles  a very important topic in Semitic languages. Comparative studies in Semitic languages shed light on  phenomena in different languages that are related or have one common origin. No doubt, such studies have their own effects on language study in general especially when studying a specific phenomenon and explaining it by reliance on the one origin, or by investigating the various phases of its historical development.

Are sexual and reproductive health and rights taught in medical school? Results from a global survey
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Our aim was to investigate the inclusion of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) topics in medical curricula and the perceived need for, feasibility of, and barriers to teaching SRHR. We distributed a survey with questions on SRHR content, and factors regulating SRHR content, to medical universities worldwide using chain referral. Associations between high SRHR content and independent variables were analyzed using unconditional linear regression or χ<sup>2</sup> test. Text data were analyzed by thematic analysis. We collected data from 219 respondents, 143 universities and 54 countries. Clinical SRHR topics such as safe pregnancy and childbirth (95.7%) and contraceptive methods</p> ... Show More

Acute Appendicitis and Multisystemic Inflammatory Syndrome due to COVID-19: a Case Report and Literature Review
...Show More Authors

The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 is variable with different types of presentations. Some of them many present with manifestations mimicking surgical emergencies. Yet, the pathophysiology of acute abdomen in the context of COVID-19 remains unclear. We present a case of a previously healthy child who presented with acute appendicitis with multisystemic inflammatory syndrome. We also highlight the necessity of considering the gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 infection in pediatric patients in order to avoid misdiagnosis and further complications.

Linguistic contast between bilateral and trilateral roots in Semitics languages (Arabic and Syriac as a model)
...Show More Authors

The present study investigates the relation between the biliteral and triliteral roots which is the introduction to comprehend the nature of the Semitic roots during its early stage of development being unconfirmed to a single pattern. The present research is not meant to decide on the question of the biliteral roots in the Semitic languages, rather it is meant to confirm the predominance of the triliteral roots on these languages which refers, partially, to analogy adopted by the majority of linguists. This tendency is frequently seen in the languages which incline to over generalize the triliteral phenomenon, i. e., to transfer the biliteral roots to the triliteral room, that is, to subject it to the predominant pattern regarding the r

Preparation and Characterization of a Hierarchically Porous Zeolite-Carbon Composite from Economical Materials and Green Method
...Show More Authors

A hierarchically porous structured zeolite composite was synthesized from NaX zeolite supported on carbonaceous porous material produced by thermal treatment for plum stones which is an agro-waste. This kind of inorganic-organic composite has an improved performance because bulky molecules can easily access the micropores due to the short diffusion path to the active sites which means a higher diffusion rate. The composite was prepared using a green synthesis method, including an eco-friendly polymer to attach NaX zeolite on the carbon surface by phase inversion. The synthesized composite was characterized using X-ray diffraction spectrometry, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy d

Correlation of amyloid and ameloblast‐associated proteins to odontogenic cysts and tumors: A cross‐sectional study
...Show More Authors
Abstract<sec><title>Background and Aims

Odontogenic cysts and tumors often form hard and soft structures that resemble odontogenesis. It is well known that amyloid is produced in Pindborg tumors; however, it is still debatable whether it is also formed in other odontogenic tumors and cysts. This study aimed to detect the presence of amyloid in different odontogenic cysts and tumors in correlation to matrix proteins secreted during enamel formation; namely amelogenin and odontogenic ameloblast‐associated protein.

Methods

This study included formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue blocks of 106 different types of odontogenic

...Show More Authors

The magnetic properties of a pure Nickel metal and Nickel-Zinc-Manganese ferrites having the chemical formula Ni0.1(Zn0.4Mn0.6)0.9Fe2O4 were studied. The phase formation and crystal structure was studied by using x-ray diffraction which confirmed the formation of pure single spinel cubic phase with space group (Fd3m) in the ferrite. The samples microstructure was studied with scanning electron microstructure and EDX. The magnetic properties of the ferrite and nickel metal were characterized by using a laboratory setup with a magnetic field in the range from 0-500 G. The ferrite showed perfect soft spinel phase behavior while the nickel sample showed higher magnetic loss an

Stability and Bifurcation of a Prey-Predator-Scavenger Model in the Existence of Toxicant and Harvesting
...Show More Authors

In this paper a prey-predator-scavenger food web model is proposed and studied. It is assumed that the model considered the effect of harvesting and all the species are infected by some toxicants released by some other species. The stability analysis of all possible equilibrium points is discussed. The persistence conditions of the system are established. The occurrence of local bifurcation around the equilibrium points is investigated. Numerical simulation is used and the obtained solution curves are drawn to illustrate the results of the model. Finally, the nonexistence of periodic dynamics is discussed analytically as well as numerically.
