Evaluation of Asprosin Hormone in Hypothyroidism Patients
...Show More Authors

Asprosin was a novel adipokine that was released by white adipose tissue. It was activated by fasting and attracted to the liver, which allowed the liver to rapidly release glucose into the bloodstream. White adipose tissue was the source of asprosin. When people go on a fast, their blood sugar levels drop, which causes levels of the hormone asprosin to rise. It does this by binding to a G-protein-coupled receptor in the liver known as OR4M1, which in turn activates a cascade that involves the G -protein-cAMP-PKA pathway. Because of this, the glucose that is stored in the liver is released.  We anticipate that by investigating the changes that occur in asprosin levels in hypothyroidism patients, we will be able to make a significant addition to the area and fill a gap that has been left unexplored in the anther researches. Eighty patients (women ) ranging in age from 25 to 65 were collected from the National Diabetes Center Al-Mustansiriyah University (Iraq) for the purpose of this study, which was designed as a cross-sectional study to determine the concentrations of serum ( asprosin, thyroid hormone T3 T4 TSH, Fasting blood glucose FBG, and lipid profile( Total cholesterol TCho,Triglycride TG,high density lipoprotein HDL, Low density lipoprotein LDL, Very low density lipoprotein VLDL) . In the period beginning in December 2021 and continuing until March 2022. This particular study included a total of 80 participants, 40 of whom had thyroid disease (hypothyroidism), and 40 healthy individuals who served as controls. When compared to the control group, the findings of this study indicate that    the levels of total cholesterol TC, triglycerideTG, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) have dramatically increased, whilst the levels of HDL have significantly decreased . A substantial increase in  (Fasting blood glucose FBG and Body mass index BMI) levels was also observed, in contrast to the group that served as the control. In patients with hypothyroidism, the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH were considerably greater, while the levels of  T3 were significantly lower. The T4 level, however, revealed no significant differences when compared to the control group. In addition, the level of asprosin was found to be high in the hypothyroidism group only contrast  to the control group that participated in this research. 

This current study indicates the hormone asprosin could be helpful early diagnosis in monitoring hypothyroidism patients. hormone asprosin is a marker of glucose homeostasis, so it may be surrogate novel biomarker for all other traditional biomarkers for the prediction of risk factors of diabetes and thyroid dysfunction

Evaluation of the effect of ER: YAG laser on apical microleakage (in vitro study)
...Show More Authors

Background: Apicoectomy and retrograde filling is indicated when conventional endodontic treatment is impossible or failed to achieve apical seal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ER: YAG laser on apical microleakage. Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted single-rooted teeth were used in this study. The roots were divided into six groups. Group 1: apicoectomy by fissure bur, and apical cavities prepared by round bur, then cavities were filled with MTA. Group 2: the roots preparations and fillings were the same as group 1, then the apical areas were treated by Er:YAG Laser. Group 3: apicoectomy by fissure bur, and apical cavities prepared by ultrasound retrotip and cavities were filled with MTA. Group 4: the roots prepara

PREPARATION AND IN VITRO EVALUATION OF CYCLODEXTRIN BASED EFFERVESCENT AND DISPERSIBLE GRANULES OF CARBAMAZEPINE
...Show More Authors

Objective: Carbamazepine is typically used for the treatment of seizure disorders and neuropathic pain. One of the major problems with this drug is its low solubility in water; therefore the objective of this study was to enhance the solubility of carbamazepine by complexation with cyclodextrin to be formulated as effervescent and dispersible granules.Methods: Solvent evaporation method was used to prepare, binary (Carbamazepine/β-cyclodextrin) complex and ternary (Carbamazepine/β-cyclodextrin/hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC E5). The more soluble complex will be further formulated as unit dose effervescent and dispersible granules. The complexes were evaluated for their solubility, drug content, percentage practical yield and

Evaluation of Physical Chemical and Biological Characteristics of Underground Wells in Badra City, Iraq
...Show More Authors

The quality of groundwater should be improved by keeping safe water sources from contaminants in protective way by doing regular measuring and checkup before it supplied for usage. Private Wells do not receive the same services that wells supplying the public do. Well owners are responsible for protecting their drinking water. This work was carried out in Badra city, Iraq from December 2017 to May 2018, six wells water were investigated to determine the general characteristics of wells as well as studying the effect of environmental factors on the quality of water. The average of six wells were eleven parameters that is out of permissible limits were EC, Sal., Alk., TH, TDS, Na, Ca, Cl, SO4, Fe, Zn (4402-5183 /cm, 2.76-3.9 ppt

Evaluation of Serum Interleukin-6 Levels in Correlation to the Severity of Acute Appendicitis
...Show More Authors

Background: Acute appendicitis is a common surgical
problem that is associated with an acute-phase reaction.
Previous studies have shown that cytokines and acutephase proteins are activated and may serve as indicators for
appendicitis.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate of serum
levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in correlation to the severity
to acute appendicitis.
Methods: This is a prospective study from December 2008
to March 2009 of patients who had appendectomy in
Department of Surgery, Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital -
Baghdad/Iraq. Serum for estimating levels of interleukin-6
(IL-6) was taken pre-operatively. Depending on the
macroscopic evidence during the operation and the
histopathol

EVALUATION THE EFFECT OF PRODIGIOSIN ON ALGD EXPRESSION IN CLINICAL ISOLATES OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA
...Show More Authors

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of prodigiosin on P. aeruginosa' s biofilm genes involved in the pathogenicity and persistency of the bacteria; Materials and methods: Gram negative bacterial isolates were taken from burn and wounds specimen obtained from some of Baghdad hospitals. Forty six isolates were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and four isolates as Serratia marcescens by using biochemical tests and VITEK 2 compact system. Susceptibility test was performed for all P. aeruginosa isolates, the results showed that 100% were resistant to Amikacin and 98% were sensitive to Meropenem. Resistant isolates were tested for biofilm formation; the strong and moderate isolates (17) were detected by PCR for AlgD gene

ABSTRACT : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common inflammatory neurodegenerative diseases linked with dementia, it is characterized by the deposition of amyloid beta-peptide (Ab) in the brain. The present study aims to innovate a biochemical relationship between AD and interleukin 38 (IL-38) as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, expose novel mechanisms and concepts regarding other biochemical parameters studied previously or recently in AD patients and also examine the biochemical action of memantine (10 mg daily) on AD patients. Sixty (60) diagnosed AD patients participated in the present study and classified into four (4) groups: G3 were composed of (15) newly diagnosed males (52-78) years / without treatment, G4 composed of (15
