This study examined the potential association between polymorphisms of Caspase 9 −293del (rs4645982) and Caspase8−652 6N ins / del (rs3834129) and the danger of acute and chronic myeloid leukaemia in Iraqi population. This case-control study was conducted as 128 (62 acute, and 66 chronic) myeloid leukaemia patient and 65 healthy individuals not infected with cancer. A conventional PCR method was used for detection in this study. The results showed that the Caspase9 −293del (rs4645982) in

The present study was aimed to investigate the possibility of titanium oxide nanoparticles to enhance the production of both prodigiosin by Serratia marcescens and phenazine by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover; the poor non-selective nutrient broth was used instead of using the selective nutrient broth for the production of both compounds to reduce the economic cost for production. Different concentrations of titanium oxide nanoparticles (0.005, 0.01, 0.015 mg/L) were used in this study to choose the most suitable concentrations to increase production. Both prodigiosin and phenazine were considered promising drugs for t

The aim of this study was to establish the existence and interaction of TMPRSS2 – ERG gene fusion status with clinicopathological features of prostate cancer patients. This research consisted of 123 embedded formalin-fixed tissues obtained from the prostate tumor patients. The above gene fusion is detected through the technique of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) by means of a triple color probe. Seven samples have not been scored due to technical difficulties and 46 patients have fusion (39.6%), while the remaining (70) have not been seen with fusion. Of the 46 fusion-positive, 17 (36%) were caused by ERG-translocation, of the other 29 (63%) were caused by the interstitial segment deletion between the two gene

The frequent species of Aspergillus identified included Aspergillus fumigatus 23(46.9%), Aspergillus niger 14 (28.6%), followed by Aspergillus flavus 12 (24.5%). According to age group factor, the age group (50-59) years appeared to be more susceptible to infected by aspergillosis with percentage at (24.5%). The results was revealed that no significant differences between male and female with aspergillosis infection. To detect A.fumigatus isolates by molecular methods, the genomic

Trichoderma harzianum produced 5.383 U/mg of laccase in solid state fermentation (SSF) using 10gm of wheat bran as substrate with moisture content 1:0.7 w/v, using  4 plugs×5mm as inoculums size, for 7 days at 28C°. Laccase was partially purified with 7.260 fold and yield 84.01% by ion exchange chromatography DEAE-cellulose. Partially purified laccase had an optimum pH of 4 and was stable in pH range from 3.5 to 5.5. The optimum temperature for laccase activity was 35C° and stability was range from 15 to 35C° with 1h of incubation.

In this study out of 130 different clinical specimens, 70 Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from hospitalized patients. Then; all the isolates were characterized using biochemical tests and confirmed by using the Vitek II compact system. All isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii were subjected to the disc diffusion method to determine it's a susceptibility to 8 types of antibiotic disc, and the result showed these bacteria were resistant to Cefepime, Imipenem, trimethoprim, Piperacillin, tetracycline, Amikacin, ampicillin-sulbactam and levofloxacin. According to bacterial susceptibility test, all isolated were showed highly resistance to Trimethoprim (88.57%) and the lower resistance to tetracycline

Extraction of Copper ion from its water solutions using plant waste (compost), sludge and Bentonite metal as cheap natural adsorbed materials. It was found that Copper ion extraction was based on concentration of  Copper  and amount of the adsorbed materials. Highest amount of adsorption was obtained at 180 µg Cu ml^-1 as Bentonite, plant waste and sludge respectively. Thermal equilibrium of the system was studied by Langmuir equation, R² gave a good linear relationship  in succession. Maximum regulatory capacity and regulatory capacity at equilibrium is 1.0 , 0.99 and 0.96 to  plant waste, sludge and Bentonite respectively, as the preference coefficient

This study was conducted on the 22 taxa of the genus Trifolium L. which grow naturally as wild plants in all geographical districts in Iraq. A comparative study of the leaf petioles was anatomically examined by paraffin method. Petiole cross-section outline shapes have divided the genus species into fourteen groups and sub-groups. According to the microscopical characteristics the cortex of petioles showed to contain layers of various tissues, the collenchyma tissue observed sub-epidermally in some species, and cortexes of the others were devoid of collenchyma. The sclerenchyma strands were noted in three patterns; above vascular bundles, above and beneath vascular bundles, and the sclerenchyma strands completely surroun

This study was aimed to measure marketing efficiency and study important factors affecting , using TOBIT qualitative response model for wheat crop in Salahalddin province. Results revealed that independent factors such as (marketing type, crops duration in the field, average marketing cost, distance between farm and marketing center, and average productivity) had an impact on wheat marketing efficiency. This impact varied in size and direction due to value of parameters. Values of marketing efficiency fluctuated within cities and towns in the province. The average value on the province level was 76.75%. This study was recommended developing marketing infrastructures which is essential to efficiency increases. In addition, it is i

A field experiment was conducted on a gypsiferous sandy clay loam soil to examine the effects of blending Triple superphosphate (TSP) with urea on N, P concentrations in plant and growth parameters of broad bean. The experiment was a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The first factor was type of application as briquettes which include T1 (one layer of TSP between two layers of urea) and T2 (one layer of urea between two layers of TSP), the second factor was application depth (5 and 10 cm D1 and D2), and the third factor was application rate (1.0, 1.25, and 1.50 as much as N and P fertilizer recommended for broad bean, R1, R2 and R3). Broad bean was planted and the following growth parameters

The research aims to study the profit functions of vegetable crops. Cross-sectional data was used based on a random sample that included 200 farmers in Alqosh region within Nineveh Province for the 2018-2019 agricultural season. The results showed that there are vegetable crops which need a large amount of labor as labor costs amounted to about 71% of the total costs per acre in tomato production. It was also found that total costs were higher in tomato crop cultivation at the dunum level compared to other vegetable crops. In addition, profit function shows that the price of the product has a significant effect on profit compared to the rest of the independent variables in the functions of vegeta

A variety of organisms, including plants and bacteria, fungi, seaweeds, and microalgae, are involved in the biological synthesis of nanoparticles. Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) can be synthesized using plant extracts, which is considered to be one of the safest methods in green chemistry. Copper-NPs were synthesized from the leaves of M. communis, which were extracted with water. The first indication that CuNPs have been synthesized is the change in color of the solution from light yellow to dark brown. Several different techniques were used to characterize CuNPs. The Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) of the nanoparticles in the range of 300 to 700 nm was investigated using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vi
