Cerebellum (cb) is the most important and sensitive part of the central nervous system (CNS) after cerebrum. The exposure to any infection during embryogenesis produces abnormalities in the cerebellum function and morphology that effect on behavioral of offspring later. In the present study we used 30 mature female pregnant albino rats divided in to three groups, each group contain 10 females: G1 was considered the control group received D.W only, while G2 group treated orally with (2mg/kg /day) suspension of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and G3 group treated orally with (20mg/kg/day) AgNPs. The embryos retrieved in different embryonic days from ED12 to ED21. In this study morphometric analysis was measured in the developing albino rats cerebellum after maternal exposure to two concentrations of AgNPs from preimplantation period until delivery . we measured the morphometric parameters (area, perimeter, anterior-posterior diameter APD and transverse diameter TD) of the selected embryonic days; ED12,ED15,ED18, and ED21 and retrieved the embryos from these days. The morphometric results in the control group(G1) showed that increased significantly (P≤ 0.05) in the area of the developing cerebellum from ED12 until reach the optimal level in the end of gestation at ED21 (14.0815mm2 to 18.969 mm2 respectively), perimeter (9.804 mm2 to 16.267 mm2) and TD (52.6308μm to 431.6 μm),while the APD value was increased significantly (P≤ 0.05) at ED12 and ED15 only (367.0041 μm, 454.011 μm )respectively but the orientation growth of the cerebellum decreased significantly (P≤ 0.05) at the later stage of the development at ED18 and ED21(364.48 μm, 225μm) respectively. In the present research both concentrations of the AgNPs (2mg and 20 mg/kg/ B.Wt) showed changes in the dimensions of the developing cerebellum cortex according to the studied morphometric parameters; in the 2 mg/kg/ B.Wt, the area of the developing cerebellum cortex was increased significantly (P≤0.05) from ED12 (47.437mm 2) and reached to maximum growth at ED18 (130.220 mm2), while it is growth inhibited at ED21( 68.909 mm2) compared to control group, the values of the developing cerebellum cortex perimeter increased significantly (P≤0.05) from ED12 until ED15 (0.964 mm 2, 2.548 mm 2) respectively compared to control group; TD values of the developing cerebellum cortex increased significantly (P≤0.05) from ED12 until ED15 also (259.341 μm,436.203 μm) respectively compared to control group. While the APD of the developing cerebellum cortex was decreased significantly (P≤0.05) during late development of the cortex at ED18 and ED21(330.415 μm, 131.5 μm) respectively as in the control group. In G3 group which treated with 20mg/kg/ B.Wt concentration of AgNPs, the similar results of area were showed as in the lower concentration, area of the developing cortex increased significantly (P≤0.05) from ED12(80.11mm 2) and reached to maximum growth at ED18(140.56 mm2) and lower after that. the values of the developing cerebellum cortex perimeter increased significantly (P≤0.05) from ED12 until ED15 (0.256 mm2, 0.543 mm2) respectively compared to control group; while in the APD and TD values the effect of the higher concentration of the AgNPs was more effect on these dimensions; APD values decreased significantly (P≤0.05) at ED15 (360.48 μm ) and not reach to the complete growth, also in TD values decreased at ED15 (400.5744 μm) and do not reach to maximum growth at end embryonic development compared to the embryonic development timing in the control group.
Corruption is a phenomenon that exists in all times and places, they appear in the developing countries and in developed countries, and in all political systems. And its repercussions and economic repercussions on the society in which it is rampant, and lead to the undermining of economic development and obstruction, is also working on increasing poverty and unemployment, as well as its role in the worsening of social problems, and political instability. And corruption is deviant behavior is illegal and contrary to the teachings of the religious and moral values. The emergence of this phenomenon is due to several reasons, including political, economic, social and cultura

Mind Mapping is a powerful tool for assisting any form of writing. Language is an
important device and a very beneficial means for human being to communicate with other
people .Writing is one of the language skills that will never be left in education.
The study aims at investigating the Impact of applying mind mapping technique as a prewriting
tool on Iraqi EFL college students in essay writing. To do so, 60 EFL college students
were divided randomly selected and divided into two groups experimental and control. Prior
to treatment, participants of the both groups were given a
Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate antagonist widely used in the treatment of neoplastic diseases; its biotransformation in the liver produced active metabolites that promote hepatotoxicity. The present study was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of aqueous extract of Camellia sinensis (Green tea) against MTX-induced liver damage in rats. A model of liver injury in rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 20mg/kg MTX as a single dose followed by saline and 1.25% and 2.5% aqueous extract of green tea (GTE) were orally administered 7 days prior and 5 days after MTX-intoxication as a sole source of drinking water. After killing the animals, blood samples were obtained for evaluation of serum levels of alanine and

The research employs a quasi-experimental design with a control and experimental group to compare the teaching readiness of participants before and after the intervention. The participants were 30 of fourth stage students at the University of Baghdad - College of Education for Women/the department of English and data were collected through observation checklist to assess their teaching experience and questionnaires to assess their perceptions towards using Google Classroom. Two sections were selected, C as a control group and D as the experimental one each with (

Show MoreDoxorubicin (DOX) is an efficient antineoplastic agent with a broad antitumor spectrum; however, doxorubicin-associated cardiotoxic adverse effect through oxidative damage and apoptosis limits its clinical application. Cafestol (Caf) is a naturally occurring diterpene in unfiltered coffee with unique antioxidant, antimutagenic, and anti-inflammatory activities by activating the Nrf2 pathway. The present study aimed to investigate the potential chemoprotective effect of cafestol on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. Wistar albino rats of both sexes were administered cafestol (5 mg/kg/day) for 14 consecutive days by oral gavage alone or with doxorubicin which was injected as a single dose (15 mg/kg intraperitoneally at day 14) to i
