Chronic inflammation can induce proliferative events and posttranslational DNA modifications in prostate tissue through oxidative stress. The present study was designed to evaluate the changes in serum levels of TNF-α, malomdialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant status (TAS) patients with different stages of malignant prostatic cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). One hundred males (age range of 58-72 years) with different stages of malignant PCa were recruited from the Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine Teaching Hospital in Baghdad during the period from September 2010 to April 2011. The patients were categorized according to the 4 disease stages (I, II, III, and IV); 25 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
... Show MoreA New developed technique to estimate the necessary six elastic constants of homogeneous laminate of special orthotropic properties are presented in this paper for the first time. The new approach utilizes the elasto-static deflection behavior of composite cantilever beam employing the famous theory of Timoshenko. Three extracted strips of the composite plate are tested for measuring the bending deflection at two locations. Each strip is associated to a preferred principal axis and the deflection is measured in two orthogonal planes of the beam domain. A total of five trails of testing is accomplished and the numerical results of the stiffness coefficients are evaluated correctly under the contribution of the macromechanic
... Show MoreIn this paper, fuzzy single and multiobjective linear programming models are presented. Both the objective function and the constraints are considered fuzzyly.The coefficient of the decision variable in the objective functions and the constraints, as well as the right-hand side of the constraints are assumed to be fuzzy numbers with triangular membership functions. The possibility programming approach is utilized to transform the fuzzy model into its crisp equivalent form, and then a suitable method will be used to solve the crisp problem.

Urotensin-II (UII), a pluripotent vasoactive cyclic peptide, exhibits the progression of cardiovascular diseases and the glucose metabolic disorder of insulin resistance. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is entirely associated with insulin resistance. This study aimed to demonstrate the association of UII with insulin resistance in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. A total of 73 male and female subjects aged 40-60 years were recruited in this case-control study. They included 35 non- diabetic subjects with a body mass index of (BMI) ≤ 25 and 38 patients with Diabetes Mellitus and BMI ≥ 25. UII levels were assessed beside other vasoactive and clinical parameters. The results re

The P. aeruginosa isolates serotypes were A:p9 and F:P12 . The sensitivity of the isolates to the antibiotics was tested, the results showed that both isolates were resistant of the used antibiotics except Chloramphenicol and Ciprofloxacin. The ability of P. aeruginosa isolates to adhere to soft contact lenses was tested. The effect of the antibiotics )Chloramphenicol and Ciprofloxacin), soft contact lenses care solution, normal saline and sterilization solutions (drops) like Methadin and Nazordin and enzymes (Papain,Neuraminidase) on production of protease and

addition to two water samples, one sample from Diyala River before Baqubah city
and the other one after the city. (4) Sewage water samples were collected to the influence of sewage water on the quality of Diyala River which is discharged
directly to the river without treatment, sampling campaign achieved in February /
2011. Chemical analysis were conducted to measure the concentrations of major
contents & trace elements (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu & Ni) to estimate the environmental
situation for Diyala River and its uses for different purposes. The results revealed

In this work, semi-conducting ZnS compound was prepared as thin films onto glass
substrates at two different substrates temperature (673, 723) K using chemical spray
pyrolysis technique. X-ray diffraction was studied for the prepared films, the results
shows that the films was polycrystalline with a wurtzite (hexagonal) structure. The
optical properties of the films were studied by using VIS-UV spectrophotometer, the
absorbance and transmittance spectrum have been recorded at wavelength within the
range (300-900) nm. The optical characteristics were studied as a function of the
photon energy at the mentioned wavelength. The results appear that the transparency
of the films at visible region is rise from 70% to 90%
