استشعار النصاب (Quorum sensing, QS) هو آلية معروفة تستخدمها جراثيم عديدة للسيطرة على عوامل الضراوة الهامة من خلال الإنتاج والاستجابة اللاحقة ل .)N-acylhomoserine (AHLs جرى تسجيل تثبيط استشعار النصاب (QSI) ، الذي يستهدف الإشارات المعتمدة على AHL، كاستراتيجية للسيطرة على الأمراضية الجرثومية. وبالتالي، تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى البحث عن قدرة جرثومة الزائفة الزنجارية كمؤشر للفحص السريع عن QSI المحتمل المتسبب عن المستخلصات النباتية على أساس تثبيط الصبغة. استخدمت أربع مستخلصات نباتية كحولية بضمنها: براعم زهور القرنفل المجففة ( Syzygium aromaticum L)، لحاء القرفة (Cinnamomum cassia L)، أوراق المورينجا (Moringa oleifera Lam)، والقطب (Tribulus terrestris L) وجرى مقارنة قابيلتها على التثبيط QSI)) مع الفيورانون. استخدمت طريقة الانتشار في حفر الهلام، إذ جري تلقيح عزلة الزائفة الزنجارية على وسط الهلام الخاص بـها الذي احتوى على حفر بحجم 8 ملم لتحميل تراكيز مختلفة من المستخلصات النباتية فضلا عن الفيورانون أو محلول الفوسفات الداريء (سيطرة سالبة). أظهرت النتائج نجاح الفيورانون في تثبيط صبغة البايوسيانين للزوائف الزنجارية دون التداخل مع النمو الجرثومي، وهذا يؤكد قدرة هذه العزلة الجرثومية كمؤشر فعال يستدل من خلاله على وجود QS. الأهم من ذلك، سبب مستخلص القرنفل بتراكيز مختلفة في تثبيط تام لصبغة البايوسيانين مع تأثير ضئيل على النمو الجرثومي. عند استخدام القرفة، أظهرت التراكيز العالية فقط تثبي ًطا واض ًحا لصبغة العزلة المستخدمة. تسببت المورينغا أي ًضا في درجة معينة من تثبيط الصبغة ولكن بتراكيز عالية فقط. وعلى العكس من ذلك، لم يؤثر القطب على إنتاج البيوسيانين ولا على الحيوية الجرثومية. يستنتج من هذه الدراسة نجاح عزلة الزائفة الزنجارية المنتجة للبايوسيانين في فحص مثبطات QS. توصي هذه الدراسة البسيطة باستخدام مثل هذه العزلة ككاشف عن QSI دون الاعتماد على استيراد سلالات معينة من جراثيم Chromobacterium violaceum أو Pseudomonas aureofaciens أو Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Background: Breast cancer is one of the common malignancies among women worldwide. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections have been linked to many human cancers in addition to cervical cancer and one of them is breast cancer.
Objective: To investigate the presence of human papilloma virus type 6 and type 11in breast cancer tissue specimens by in situ hybridization technique.
Patients and Methods: Thirty four formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue blocks from breast cancer patients were obtained from the archives of the pathology laboratory of Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital from January 2011 to July 2012. In addition formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded blocks tissue for twenty fibroadenoma of breast were collected and used as control g
The wastewater arising from pulp and paper mills is highly polluted and has to be treated before discharged into rivers. Coagulation-flocculation process using natural polymers has grown rapidly in wastewater treatment. In this work, the performance of alum and Polyaluminum Chloride (PACl) when used alone and when coupled with Fenugreek mucilage on the treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewater were studied. The experiments were carried out in jar tests with alum, PACl and Fenugreek mucilage dosages range of 50-2000 mg/L, rapid mixing at 200 rpm for 2 min, followed by slow mixing at 40 rpm for 15 min and settling time of 30 min. The effectiveness of Fenugreek mucilage was measured by the reduction of turbidity and Chemical Oxygen Demand
... Show MoreThe research has focused on accounting for marketing risks faced by banks because they are exposed to a high level of risk as a result of their great utilization of financial instruments, which may make them liable to insolvency or bankruptcy and collapse, and accordingly to major economic crises. Therefore, banks are required to manage (reduce) risks so as to prevent them. As Iraqi banks don't manage these risks according to modern methodology of using derivatives, as well as lack of both the standard accounting system for banks and the Iraqi accounting criterion (standard) No. 10 to an obvious methodology for these risks identification, classification, hedging and disclosure, the researchers was prompted to concentrate
... Show MoreThe present study included the microscopic and molecular identification of Entamoeba histolytica by using specific primers to detect four virulence factors possessed by Entamoeba histolytica. Virulence factors included Active Cysteine proteinase, Galactose/N-acetyl-D-galactose-lectin, Amoeba pore C and Phospholipase. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) were synthesized from Pseudomonas aeruginosa which producing Pyocyanin pigment as a reducing agent to form it. After that we studied the ability ofTiO2NPs to inhibit virulence factors production and curing the genes responsible for encoding them by using four different dose 2 ,3, 4, 6 mg/Kg and administered by intraperitoneal injection
