Background: Trastuzumab is a blockbuster monoclonal antibody that has revolutionized the treatment of HER2-positive breast and gastric cancers. With the increasing availability of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies in clinical practice, independent verification of biosimilarity using products sampled from a real-world supply chain is important to assure clinicians and the patients to use these products confidently. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the biosimilarity of AryoTrust, a trastuzumab biosimilar, in comparison with the reference product Herceptin. AryoTrust and Herceptin products were randomly withdrawn from Iraqi hospitals to reflect medicines administered in real clinical settings. Methods: AryoTrust and Herceptin were compared using an extensive set of orthogonal analytical techniques which included SDS-PAGE, ion-exchange chromatography, capillary isoelectric focusing, peptide mapping, N-glycan profiling, circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimetry, and surface plasmon resonance. In addition to these teste, functional comparability was also tested using an HER2-dependent cell-based proliferation inhibition bioassay. Results: The results showed that both products have highly comparable profiles in all assessed attributes. The analysis showed similar molecular integrity and purity, identical primary structure, comparable charge heterogeneity, similar isoelectric points (pI) of the main isoform, close glycosylation patterns (mainly, by core-fucosylated complex-type glycans), similar higher-order structural features, and thermal stability. The receptor binding studies exhibited comparable binding affinities with Fcγ receptors and FcRn. Finally, the cell-based bioassay revealed comparable dose–response curves with similar EC50 values and relative potency. Conclusions: The integrated analytical and functional data support the biosimilarity of AryoTrust to the reference product Herceptin, which has been marketed and used in Iraq. This study provides real-world scientific evidence supporting confidence in the quality and comparability of this trastuzumab biosimilar and reduces any doubt in the product and at the same time emphasizes the value of independent post-marketing biosimilarity assessments.

The wall of the esophagus in Mabuya aurata septemaeniata as in high vertebrates consists of four layers, mucosa, submucosa,muscularis and serosa. Mucosa forms many unorganized short and long folds penetrate inside the esophageal cavity. Mucosa contains two sub layers, first one is lining epithelium which includes two types of cells, simple ciliated columnar epithelial cells and goblet cells, second one is lamina properia. Mucosa does not have muscularis mucosa. There is no esophageal glands within esophagus. Many special stains were used as (Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS)) to detect Carbohydrates in goblet cells. Alcian blue were used to detect the amount of goblet cells within lining epithelium. Alcian blue + PAS together confirm that the

The compounds have been characterized by NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and mass spectra, elemental microanalysis (C.H.N.), magnetic moment, chloride contain, atomic absorption and molar conductance. All prepared complexes were octahedral geometry. Compound structures treated theoretically using the program hyper chem. 8 in gas phase at 298°K. The compounds were also screened for their bioactive property such as antifungal and antibacterial.
This research is an attempt to develop exercise with weights to strengthen some of the striking muscles in the shoulder and arm and to develop the accuracy of the smash and rectum skills. The importance of this paper lies in the study of moments of force to achieve the ability to control muscular work and to explore the impact of physical and skill exercises with weights to develop moments of force for some muscles. The experimental method on a sample of players, selected according to the intentional method, including ( 9) advanced players representing Air Force Club participating in the Premier League for season 2011-2012. It is concluded that the exercises proposed have their effective impact on developing the variables of moments force f

It also demonstrated the connection and the integration of the activities of the value chain with the Balanced Scorecard. The financial measurement was linked with non-financial measurement by integrating these techniques to achieve an appropriate performance that supports all aspects of the organizational performance. Consequently, the research problem in this study emerged, which is due to the concentration of many organizations on the measurement of financial performance. Notably, the latter caused the decline of some organizations from the competitive market. T
