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

The effect of thickness variation on some physical properties of hematite α-Fe2O3 thin films was investigated. An Fe2O3 bulk in the form of pellet was prepared by cold pressing of Fe2O3 powder with subsequent sintering at 800 . Thin films with various thicknesses were obtained on glass substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. The films properties were characterized by XRD, and FT-IR. The deposited iron oxide thin films showed a single hematite phase with polycrystalline rhombohedral crystal structure .The thickness of films were estimated by using spectrometer to be (185-232) nm. Using Debye Scherrerś formula, the average grain size for the samples was found to be (18-32) nm. Atomic force microscopy indicated that the films had

The film was equipped by the utilization of semi-computerized spray pyrolysis technique (SCSPT), it is the first time that this technique is used in the preparation and irradiation using a laser. when the received films were processed by continuous red laser (700 nm) with power (>1000mW) for different laser irradiation time using different number of times a laser scan (0, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 times) with total irradiation time (0,30,45,60,75,90 min) respectively at room temperature.. The XRD diffraction gave polycrysta

In this article four samples of HgBa2Ca2Cu2.4Ag0.6O8+δ were prepared and irradiated with different doses of gamma radiation 6, 8 and 10 Mrad. The effects of gamma irradiation on structure of HgBa2Ca2Cu2.4Ag0.6O8+δ samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction. It was concluded that there effect on structure by gamma irradiation. Scherrer, crystallization, and Williamson equations were applied based on the X-ray diffraction diagram and for all gamma doses, to calculate crystal size, strain, and degree of crystallinity. I
