Eighty one bacterial isolates were obtained from 53 soil samples of different plants rhizosphere. All the isolated bacterial were screened for antifungal effect against Fusarium oxysporum. Three isolates gave antifungal activity with inhibition zone ranged between (0.5-2.5 cm). Two isolates (Bd1 and Bd2) were Brevundimonas diminuta, while the third(Pf1) was Pseudomonas fluorescence .B.diminuta(Bd1) which used in this study isolated from Raphanus sativus gave the highest inhibitionzone against F. oxysporum.In green house experiment , seedling of tomato cultivar Lycopersicon esculentum . var. commune were treated with two concentration 1012 cell/ml(B12 ) ,1014 cell/ml (B14) of B.diminuta (Bd1) and planted in soil mixed with106 spores/gm(F)

In the current study hundred ten of Iraqi patients with colorectal tumors were studied to evaluate the expression of Cathepsin D using Tissue microarray-Immunohistochemisty (TMA-IHC) technique. Of them, Ninety cases had colorectal carcinoma, and twenty had benign tumors. A group of twenty cases of non-specific colitis and other twenty colonic biopsies without significant pathology were also studied. Results revealed high expression of Cathepsin D in tumors (96.7% of malignant cases, 80% of adenomas) versus 30% of colitis. As well high significant differences (P< 0.001) in the expression of CathepsinD in different tumor types (adenocarcinoma and mucinous carcinoma), tumor stages and grades.

The present study was carried out on (80) adults asthmatic patients (43 male and 37 female), their age from (25 -65) years. Some of them acute episodes while other between episodes interval.They were selected from out patients clinics of AL-Zahra'a hospital for allergy and asthma in Baghdad.All patients were diagnosed according to standard medical criteria as being asthmatic. The results of investigations were compared with those for a total of (20) healthy individual [(12) male & (8) female] with age (25 – 45) years, as a control group, throughout the period extended from ( July 2014 till December 2014).
The patient samples were applied to determine complete blood count include (Hb, PCV, RBC count, WBC & Eosinophil count)

Myiasis is abnormal case of man infection due to either ovulating flies in the wounds which called cutaneous myiasis or due to ingestion of eggs of the flies accidentally with food which causes the gastric or intestinal myiasis .We report here a case of myiasis in a mature male (60 years old) sent by a private clinic in Baghdad to parasitological section /Central Public Health Laboratories (CPHL) /Baghdad and by the help of Museum of Natural History, it diagnosed as intestinal myiasis.

A gleevec drug a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the so-called Philadelphia chromosome that characteristic of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) which has been widely used in treatment of several hematological malignancies, and there is concern about the long-term immune effects of its use. Autoimmune disorders in patients treated with gleevec drug may be related to the direct immune modulating properties or may be linked to a possible toxic effect in target organs, triggering autoimmunity diseases. The study described the development of symptomatic autoimmune thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO) in 51 patients with CML compared with 10 subjects as healthy control. The samples collected from Iraqi National Center for Research and Treat

An investigate of the subsurface of East Baghdad Oil field South-1 and South-2, by using the interactive workstation Geoframe. The study is interested with Oligocene Formations which is an extension of Kirkuk group. Synthetic seismogram is generated from data of EB-15 well. Base of Lowe-Fars reflector is picked and identified because it is close to Jeribe Formation that was deposited in the same depositional environment of Kirkuk group. The seismic sections and time slice maps confirmed that the Oligocene age was not affected by faults and the signs or indicators of faults started from Hartha Formation and continue to the deeper formations with increasing intensity, where the variance attribute section was applied on time slice and shows

Thirty one isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from 100 clinical samples include (pus, burn and wound swabs). All the isolates were identified as P. aeruginosa by conventional methods, PCR and DNA sequencing. Antibiotic sensitivity tests were undertaken for 8 groups of antibiotics (Cephalosporins, Rifamycin, fluoroquinolones, Penicillins, Carbapenems, Aminoglycosides, Chloramphenicol and Beta-lactamase inhibitor+ Penicillin). The highest resistance rate was recorded to Rifampin, and Pipracillin with 31(100%), followed by Chloramphenicol ,Cefotaxime and Cefixime with 28 (90.3%), and the lowest resistance rate to Imipenem with 8 (25.8%). Cefpodoxime resistance value was less than values reported in other study. Six strains did not car

A series of new derivatives of imidazo[2,1-b]naphtha[2,1-d][1,3]thiazole were synthesised, which they are substituted at position 2. Then, the new prepared imidazo thiazole derivatives were reacted with N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) and POCl3 to obtain new aldehyde derivatives at position 3. The new aldehyde derivatives underwent condensation reaction with the hydrazine afforded new hydrazone derivatives. The new compounds were characterized by spectra [IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, 2D NMR ( hsqc spectra)]. The synthesised compounds were examined the antimicrobial and antifungal activities, their antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis, Aeromonas hydrophila and Staphylococcus aureus were examined. Most of these comp

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of plasma treatment versus conventional treatment on the micro shear bond strength (μSBS), surface roughness, and wettability of three different CAD/CAM materials. Materials and methods: Sixty cylindrical specimens (5 mm diameter ×3 mm height) were prepared from three different CAD/CAM materials: Group A: Zirconia, Group B: Lithium disilicate, and Group C: Resin nano-ceramic. Each group was subdivided into two subgroups according to surface treatment used: Subgroup I: Conventional treatment, zirconia was sandblasted with Al2O3, while lithium disilicate and resin nano-ceramic were etched with hydrofluoric acid. Subgroup II: Plasma treatment, the surface of each material was tr

Objective: Evaluate the effects of different storage periods on flexural strength (FS) and degree of conversion (DC) of Bis-Acryl composite and Urethane dimethacrylate provisional restorative materials. Material and Methods: A total of 60 specimens were prepared from four temporary crown materials commercially available and assigned to four tested groups (n = 15 for each group): Prevision Temp, B&E CROWN, Primma Art, and Charm Temp groups. The specimens were stored in artificial saliva, and the FS was tested after 24 h, 7 d, and 14 d. A standard three-point bending test was conducted using a universal testing machine. Additionally, the DC was determined using a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) device. The data were analyzed st

Background: The use of electronic apex locators for working length determination eliminates many of the problems associated with the radiographic measurements (interference of anatomical structures, errors in projection such as elongation or shortening, and lack of three-dimensional representation). Its most important advantage over radiography is that it measures the length of the root canal to the apical constriction, not to the radiographic apex. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of a new fifth generation apex locator (Joypex 5) in recording the apical constriction and comparing it with a third generation apex locator (Root ZX) in vitro. Materials and method: Twenty four single-rooted sound human premolars, extracted for t

This study compared in vitro the microleakage of a new low shrink silorane-based posterior composite (Filtek™ P90) and two methacrylate-based composites: a packable posterior composite (Filtek™ P60) and a nanofill composite (Filtek™ Supreme XT) through dye penetration test. Thirty sound human upper premolars were used in this study. Standardized class V cavities were prepared at the buccal surface of each tooth. The teeth were then divided into three groups of ten teeth each: (Group 1: restored with Filtek™ P90, Group 2: restored with Filtek™ P60, and Group 3: restored with Filtek™ Supreme XT). Each composite system was used according to the manufacturer's instructions with their corresponding adhesive systems. The teeth were th
