The aqueous and methanol extracts of Salvia officinals and Salix acmoplylla traditionally used for the treatment of infections disease were tested for their active against gram positive and gram negative bacteria isolated from wound infection culture using the broth dilution and disc diffusion melhod. Results of this study revealed the prescence of phytochemical which were active against gram positive and negative bacteria. Methanol extracts of both plants showed the highest activity other the aqueous extract. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the aqueous extracts on the test organism was 25- 100 mg\ml,while that of the methanol extract was ranged between 25 -50 mg\ml on the test organisms, the minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) ranging between 25-100 mg\ml for methanol extract , and 25-200 mg\ml for aqueous extracts. The highest activity at 100 and 121 oC was demonstrated by the methanol extracts of Salix acmophylla against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella spp. While in methanol extracts of Salvia officinalis the 45 oC was the effective temperature. In this study plants extracts against gram negative bacteria showed activity in acidic pH only in contrast of gram positive bacteria which were constant in all plants extract . Salvia officinalis contained essential elements at higher levels than Salix acmoplylla .Ca and Zn were present of high levels in Salix acmoplylla than other. The results of this study suggest the possibility of using the methanolic extracts of these plants in treating diseases caused by the test organisms, especially when prepared at acidic pH.
The current paper was designed to find the possible synergic effect of EBV infection with the HPV-16 in Iraqi women suffering from cervical carcinoma. This retrospective study involved paraffinized blocks of two groups. The research included 30 carcinomatous cervical tissues and 15 samples from normal cervical biopsies. After sectioning using positively charged slides, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to detect anti-Epstein Barr Virus LMP1 and Human papillomavirus type 16 primary antibodies. Sixty-three percentage (19 out of 30) of the studies group showed positive overexpression as shown in with a significant association of the expression with cervical cancer with a significant association (p = 0). The co-infection of the EBV and H

The present study aim is isolation and identification of staphylococci, enteric bacteria and Pseudomonas spp. Totally, 115 samples were collected from sheep (100 samples were collected from the nasal cavity of local sheep suffering from respiratory infections, and 15 samples were collected from apparently healthy local sheep). All the samples were collected from seven flocks located in Abu Ghraib and Al-Radwaniyah, Baghdad governorate, Iraq. The samples were taken during the period from October 2020 to February 2021. Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and enteric bacteria were detected fi

The structural, optical properties of cupper indium gallium selenite (CuIn1-xGaxSe) have been studied. CuIn1-xGaxSe thin films for x=0.6 have been prepared by thermal evaporation technique, of 2000±20 nm thickness, with rate of deposition 2±0.1 nm/sec, on glass substrate at room temperature. Heat treatment has been carried out in the range (373-773) K for 1 hour. It demonstrated from the XRD method that all the as-deposited and annealed films have polycrystalline structure of multiphase. The optical measurement of the CIGS thin films conformed that they have, direct allowed energy gap equal to 1.7 eV. The values of some important optical parameters of the studied films such as (absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coeffici

The results of the study showed that the values of dielectric constant and dissipation factor increase with increasing pressure and temperature and decreases by increasing frequency. And the results of electrical conductivity showed that it increases with increasing temperature, pressure and frequency.
