Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory demyelinating disease of central nervous system with complex etiopathogenesis that impacts young adults (Lee et al., 2015), and MS impacts younger and middle aged character and leads to a range of disabilities that can alter their daily routines (Yara et al, 2010). Although, the exact cause of MS is still undetermined, the disease is mediated by adaptive immunity through the infiltration of T cells into the central nervous system (Bjelobaba et al, 2017). MS causes the Focal neurological symptomsand biochemical changes in the molecular level and the variation of neural cells such as loss or alteration of sensation, motor function, visible signs such as blurred vision or transient blindness, disturbance of conjugate eye movements, bladder and bowel dysfunction and cognitive impairment (Induruwa et al, 2012 and Jafarzadeh et al, 2014). Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are chronic conditions initiated by way of the loss of immunological tolerance to self-antigens (TodorovicDilas et al, 2011). It is a heterogeneous group of disorders in which more than one modification in the immune system can be specific to a particular tissue or organ or might also be systemic, non-specific, involving multiple tissues or organs (Ray et al, 2012). One possible cause behind this is a lack of understanding of pathogenic mechanisms driving progressive multiple sclerosis. Due to the indolent nature of symptom progression, current disease criteria used to signify the course of disease (Lublin et al, 2014) indicate diagnosis is generally retrospective and based totally on history of gradual worsening. Clearly, diagnosis is primary based on clinical judgment, as there is no fully reliable diagnostic test (Ontaneda et al, 2015). In latest years, the elements involved in the etiology of the disease have also included oxidative stress (OS), which is described as an imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the mechanisms that are responsible for their elimination, andthe imbalance between OS agents and antioxidants leads to OS activating the inflammatory process (Phaniendra et al, 2015). In the absence of enough antioxidant defenses, ROS can reason oxidative damage to macromolecules resulting in oxidation of lipids, proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (Griffiths, 2002). Some reseach report that ROS play a main role in myelin phagocytosis (Ghabaee et al, 2010 and Tasset et al, 2012). The inflammatory response gives rise to the manufacturing of both ROS and Reactive Biochem. Cell. Arch.

Aim of study The aim of this study focuses on determination 8-H2-dG, MDA and PON1 in multiple sclerosis disease and finds the relationship between newly marker 8-H-2-dG with MDA and PON1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects This study was performed on 25 female patients with age (25-35) years who diagnosed by physicians as a multiple sclerosis in Misan governorate. The patients compared with 25 apparently healthful in the identic rangel of age. In this study sample was collected five mL of venous bloods, placed in to plain tubes until coagulation was performed. Serum was separated from blood cells by centrifugation 4000 r.p.m. Assay method Determination of serum of 8-H-2-dG This assay that can be used for quantification of 8- H-2-dG in urine, cell culture, plasma and other sample matrices. The ELISA utilize an 8-H-2-dG coated plate and HRP- conjugated antibody or detection which allows for any assay range of 0.94-60 ng/mL, with sensitivity of 0.59 ng/mL. Determination of MDA The concentration of MDA,which is the consequence of lipid peroxidation and a marker of oxidative stress, was measured using thiobarbiturc acid. Determination of PON1 The quantitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) technique was employed for determination of PON1.
The present work involved designing and synthesizing of a series of new. compounds which their molecules are composed from two biologically active components namely sulfamethoxazole or β-lactam containing drugs and cyclic imides. The target new compounds were synthesized by two steps in the first one a series of six bis (N-drug phthalamic acid_4-yl) ketone (1-6) were prepared from the reaction of sulfamethoxazole or β-lactam containing drugs with benzophenone 3, 3′, 4, 4′ -tetracarboxylic dianhydride.
In the second step, compounds (1-6) were introduced in dehydration reaction via fusion process producing the target compounds bis (N-drug phthalimidyl-4-yl) ketone (7-12). The antibacterial and antifungal high

It causes inflammation and damages several organs in the body. miRNAs play a role in regulating the infection resulting from SARS-CoV-2. MicroRNA-155, a kind of microRNA linked to viral defences, can affect the immune responses during COVID-19. Objectives: Examination of the involvement of microRNA-155 in the development and severity of COVID-19, as well as finding the correlation between microRNA-155 and viral load (copies/mL) in severe cases of the disease. Materials and Method: A case-control research study was performed between October 2022 and June 2023. It included a cohort of 120 hospitalised individuals with severe cases of COVID-19, together with 115 individu

Objective(s): The present study aims at studying the relationship between immunoglobulin IgG, IgA,
IgM , as well as to C-3 and C-4 in brain tumours patients immunity (meningioms and gliomas).
Methodology: Forty sera of brain tumour patients were included 20 glioma and 20 meningioma was
tested to determine the levels of IgM, IgG IgA, C-3 and C-4 by using single radial immune-diffusion
technique and compared with 20 apparently healthy blood donors.
Results: The study revealed a significant decreasing in IgG levels in glioma as compare to meningioma
and control. The concentration of two other serum immunoglobulins and complement in both
meningioma and glioma show no significant differences with those in control group.
Aromatic Schiff-bases are known to have antibacterial activity, but most of these compounds are sparingly soluble in water. The present work describes the synthesis of new Schiff-bases derived from branched aminosugars. Treatment of 3-Amino-3-Cyano-3-Deoxy-1,2:5,6-Di-O-Isopropylene-α-D-Allofuranose (1) with the aldehydes (2) under reflux in methanol afforded the Schiff-bases (3) in good yields. The new Schiff-bases were in accord with their NMR, IR spectral data and elemental analysis.
Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with carbon nanotubes CNT and C60 by attachment and solution evaporation techniques, respectively. CNT/Li+/GCE and C60/Li+/GCE were prepared by modifying CNT/GCE and C60/GCE in Li+ solution via cyclic voltammetry (CV) potential cycling. The sensing characteristics of the modified film electrodes, demonstrated in this study for interference of Mn2+ in different heavy metals ion esp. Hg2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+. The interfering effect was investigated that exert positive interference on the redox peaks of Mn2+. The modification of GCE with nano materials and Li+ act an enhancement for the redox current peaks to observe the effect of interference for Mn2+ in 1:1 ratio with different heavy metals ion.

Leukemia or cancer of the blood is the most common childhood cancer, Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), is the most common form of leukemia that occurs in children. It is characterized by the presence of too many immature white blood cells in the child’s blood and bone marrow, Acute lymphoblastic leukemia can occur in adults too, treatment is different for children. Children with ALL develop symptoms related to infiltration of blasts in the bone marrow, lymphoid system, and extramedullary sites, such as the central nervous system (CNS). Common constitutional indications consist of fatigue (50%), pallor (25%), fever (60%), and weight loss (26%). Infiltration of blast cells in the marrow cavity and periosteum often lead to bone

Background: Cigarette smoking is an important risk factor that has a clear strong association with the prevalence and severity of chronic periodontitis (CP). Salivary biochemical parameters may be affected by both smoking and CP together. Materials and methods: Eighty systematically healthy male patients were included in this study. They were grouped based on their periodontal and smoking status. Unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) was collected from all subject. Salivary flow rate (FR) was measured during sample collection. Parameters such as salivary pH, total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), total fucose (TF), protein bound fucose (PBF) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were estimated. Results: Salivary flow rate was not altered regarding to smoking
