Endometriosis, an autoimmune disease is among one of the most challenging of the 21 st century that affects women in reproductive age. The aim of the present study is to highlight the role of IL-36γ, and its relationship with other cytokines (Ang-2 and TNF-α) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis . Seventy five (75) consecutive women patient of reproductive age (25-40) years were enrolled in this study , Patients were divided into three groups , group 1 (G1) included (25) newly diagnosed endometriotic patients , that were not given any treatment related to Gynecology or anti-inflammatory medications . Second group : group 2 (G2) consists of (25) endometriotic patient who were treated with zoladex for 3 to 5 months , they received zoladex injection every 28 day in the first day after diagnosis. The third group: Group 3 (G3) involved (25) patients with recurrent endometriosis , they were post treatment of zoladex and diagnosis revealed recurrence of endometriosis. Patients groups were compared with two control groups , with matched age with patients’ groups. The first control group (C) included (25) healthy women , and the second control group or pathological control group (PC) involved (25) women suffering from infertility caused by gynecological disorder unrelated to endometriosis.IL-36γ , Ang-2 and TNF-α were estimated in sera of studied groups. The results from this study revealed that IL-36γ levels were highly significant increase (p<0.001) and significant increase (p<0.05) in G1 comparing with groups C and PC respectively. While high significant decrease(p<0.001) was found in G2 comparing with G1. Also , there are no significant differences (p≥0.05) shown in G2 comparing with C group and in G3 comparing with G1.On the otherhand , Ang-2 levels were highly significant increased (p<0.001) and significant increase (p<0.05) in G1 comparing with groups C and PC respectively. While significant decrease (p<0.05) was found in G2 comparing with G1. Also , there are no significant differences (p≥0.05) in Ang-2 levels shown in G2 comparing with C group and in G3 comparing with G1 Our results also implied that TNF-α levels were highly significant increased (p<0.001) in G1 comparing with C group. While no significant differences (p≥0.05) was found in G1 comparing with PC group and in G3 comparing with G1. Also there are significant differences (p<0.05) shown in G2 comparing with G1 and C group. Our findings for endometriotic patient groups. A high significant difference was found between Ang-2 and TNF-α levels with IL-36γ for G1 , G2 and G3. The conclusion of this study reveals that IL-36γ could be considered a novel biochemical marker in endometriotic patients. Conclusion could be drawn from the results that endometriosis may be influenced on the cytokines secretion such as IL-36γ beside Ang-2 and TNF-α in G1 and G3 , suggesting that inflammatory / immunological factors associating with angiogenesis responses play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Also, the results showed the role of zoladex in alteration immune responses as shown in G2
This research aims to use chemical reaction to determine some of beta lactam antibiotics which include cephalexin and ceftriaxone in some pharmaceuticals by formation Prussian Blue complexes and using them for the UV-Vis., determination of drugs at wavelengths range (700- 720)nm by reaction them with FeCl3 in the presence of reagent K3[Fe(CN)6] in acid media . The optimal experimental conditions for the complex formation have been studied such as volume of HCl , K3[Fe(CN)6] , FeCl3 ,temperature and reaction time .Analytical figures of merits obtained on applying the developed procedure for cephalexin and ceftriaxone resp. are Linearity,(2-10),(1-7)?g.ml-1 LOD(0.0601,0.0330) ?g.ml-1.

The method is based on charge transfer reaction between CLNZ and p-Bromanil (p-Br) to form a colored complex. The optimum conditions of complex formation were investigated by (1). Unvariable method, for the optimization of reagent concentration, base concentration, temperature, and time. (2). Multivariable simplex method including the effect of three experimental factors via; reagent concentration, concentration of NaOH and time. The linearity range of CLNZ was (1-30) μg.mL-1 at 378 nm under condition established via simplex method with molar absorptivity (1.9069x104) L.

Based on the diazotization reaction of 4-aminoacetophenone with sodium nitrite in acid medium to form diazonium salt, which was coupled with Methyldopa to form a violet reddish soluble azo dye with maximum absorbance at 560 nm,a batch procedure had been developed for the estamination of Methyldopa. Under optimum experimental parameters affecting on the development and stability of the colored product, Beer´s law obeyed in the range (0.5-45) ?g.ml-1 with a correlation coefficient (0.9979).The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of Methyldopa in either pure form and in commercial brands of pharmaceuticals, no interference was observed from common excipients in the formulations. The analytical results obtained by app
