داء السكري من النوع 2 (T2DM) هو مرض معقد يصيب العديد من الأعضاء إلى جانب البنكرياس مثل الكلى والكبد والدماغ والعين. بسبب ارتفاع السكر في الدم لفترات طويلة وعدم السيطرة على مرض السكري مع وجود عوامل خطر أخرى ، يمكن أن تحدث مضاعفات مرض السكري. تشمل مضاعفات مرض السكري مضاعفات الأوعية الدموية الدقيقة والأوعية الدموية الكبيرة التي تستهدف الكلى. تهدف الدراسة الحالية إلى التحقق من مستوى الانجوتينسن المحول للانزيم ACE-2)) ، عامل نمو النسيج الضام (CTGF) جنبًا إلى جنب مع بعض العوامل البيوكيميائية ذات الصلة في النساء المصابات بداء السكري واعتلال الكلية السكري مقارنة بالضوابط الصحية. اشتملت الدراسة على 90 مريض تتراوح أعمارهم بين 30-65 سنة. يعانون من مرض السكري من النوع 2 مقسمون إلى ثلاث مجاميع على أساس معايير ACR تشمل البيلة الألبومينية الطبيعية ، البيلة الألبومينية الدقيقة ، البيلة الألبومينية الكبيرة 30 مريضًا لكل مجموعة و 30 شخصًا يتمتعون بصحة جيدة كانوا بمثابة المجموعة الضابطة ، منمن زاروا مستشفى بغداد التعليمي / المدينة الطبية و مستشفى اليرموك التعليمي ، في الفترة ما بين ديسمبر 2021 ومايو 2022. تم تحديد مستوياتACE-2 و CTGF باستخدام تقنية ELISA. أظهرت النتائج وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين مجموعات المرضى والمجموعة الضابطة لعامل CTGF ، ووجد أن مستويات ACE-2 تزيد بشكل كبير في مجموعات المرضى عن مجموعة التحكم الصحية. كما أظهرت النتائج أن كلا من سكر الدم الصائم FBS و هيموكلوبينA1C (HbA1C)قد زاد بشكل ملحوظ في مجموعات المرضى مقارنة بالمجموعة الصحية. علاوة على ذلك ، كشفت قيم معدل الترشيح الكبيبي المقدر( ( eGFR عن فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين جميع المجموعات المدروسة ، وكذلك اظهرت نتائج ACR وجود فروقات ذات دلالة إحصائية بين مجموعات المرضى الثلاثة ، والتي تمثل المعايير الأساسية لتصنيف مجموعات المرضى. على أساس النتائج التي تم الحصول عليها في هذه الدراسة ، يمكن استنتاج ان عاملي ACE-2 و CTGF يمكن تطبيقهما كواسمات تنبؤية مبكرة موثوقة للكشف عن المرض.
Dapagliflozin is a novel sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitor. This work aims to develop a new
validated sensitive RP-HPLC coupled with a mass detector method for the determination of dapagliflozin, its
alpha isomer, and starting material in the presence of dapagliflozin major degradation products and an internal
standard (empagliflozin). The separation was achieved on BDS Hypersil column (length of 250mm, internal
diameter of 4.6 mm and 5-μm particle size) at a temperature of 35℃. Water and acetonitrile were used as
mobile phase A and B by gradient mode at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. A wavelength of 224nm was selected to
perform detection using a photo diode array detector. The method met the
Biodiesel can be prepared from various types of vegetable oils or animal fats with the aid of a catalyst.
Calcium oxide (CaO) is one of the prospective heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel synthesis. Modification
of CaO by impregnation on silica (SiO2) can improve the performance of CaO as catalyst. Egg shells and rice
husks as biomass waste can be used as raw materials for the preparation of the silica modified CaO catalyst.
The present study was directed to synthesize and characterize CaO impregnated SiO2 catalyst from biomass
waste and apply it as catalyst in biodiesel synthesis. The catalyst was synthesized by wet impregnation
method and characterized by x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, nitr
The biggest problem of structural materials for fusion reactor is the damage caused by the fusion product neutrons to the structural material. If this problem is overcomed, an important milestone will be left behind in fusion energy. One of the important problems of the structural material is that nuclei forming the structural material interacting with fusion neutrons are transmuted to stable or radioactive nuclei via (n, x) (x; alpha, proton, gamma etc.) reactions. In particular, the concentration of helium gas in the structural material increases through deuteron- tritium (D-T) and (n, α) reactions, and this increase significantly changes the microstructure and the properties of the structural materials. T

Show MoreThe dangers of (Israel's) integration with Arab countries in the middle east region will threaten the Arab security structure dimension, which the latter makes the Arab regional system vulnerable for distortion due to its nominal and symbolic value which is far from the Arab self and questioning with its effectiveness in comparing with the real capabilities to Arab countries in achieving the common targets. So, how to assess the different problems that began to hit the structure of the Arab regional system? and how to pledge an allegiance after putting forward what is known as the American Deal of the Century for the administration of former US President Donald Trump for making another step toward normalization with (Israel)?.

Show MoreThe widespread use of the Internet of things (IoT) in different aspects of an individual’s life like banking, wireless intelligent devices and smartphones has led to new security and performance challenges under restricted resources. The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is the most suitable choice for the environments due to the smaller size of the encryption key and changeable security related parameters. However, major performance metrics such as area, power, latency and throughput are still customisable and based on the design requirements of the device.
The present paper puts forward an enhancement for the throughput performance metric by p
