Electronic structure study of $\text{Gd}_2\text{O}_3$: A Compton scattering study
type: item
description: The isotropic Compton profile of $\text{Gd}_2\text{O}_3$ have been measurea using $661.65\text{ keV}$ $\gamma$-radiations emitted from our $740\text{ GBq}$ ($20\text{ Ci}$) $^{137}\text{Cs}$ Compton spectrometer at an intermediate resolution of $0.34\text{ a.u.}$ The experimental Compton profiles have been compared with the theoretical Compton profiles deduced from the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method as embodied in CRYSTAL09 code, and also compared with ionic model. The measurement is compared with (LCAO) calculation within approximation (HF) and DFT (LDA, GGA, SOGGA),it is show that the (HF) is in agreement with experimental data. The ionic model calculations for a number of configurations of $\text{Gd}_2^{+3x}\text{O}_3^{-2x}$ ($0.0 \le x \le 6$) have also been performed while taking free atom profiles and the model suggests transfer of $5.0$ electrons from the valence $5\text{d}$ shell or $6\text{s}$ shell for $\text{Gd}$ to the $2\text{p}$ shell of $\text{O}$.

Power Dissipation in AC Discharge of Argon at Low Pressure in The Frequency Range 100-1000 Hz
type: item
description: This work investigates the Influence of AC frequency, in the range 100-1000 Hz, on the power dissipation of an argon AC discharge at low pressure. It is observed that the power dissipation increases with frequency in the range 100-750 Hz and decreases with frequency in the range 750-1000 Hz for gas pressures 50-80 mTorr. It is also deduced that the dissipated power decreases with increasing the discharge pressure and the minimum power is dissipated at Paschen curve minimum.

Human Cytomegalovirus in pregnancy
type: item
description: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been described as an important etiological agent of intrauterine infection in pregnant women which may lead to some serious results such as miscarriage, stillbirth, cerebellar malformation, fetus developmental retardation. In the present study from the December 2011 to April 2012 in Kirkuk province we examined 110 serum samples from pregnant women and 80 non pregnant as control group for the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies against HCMV by standard enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) technique. The results was 65(59%) of the cases were seropositive for HCMV-IgG and 6(5.46%) cases were seropositive for HCMV-IgM and 12(10.9%) cases were seropositive for both HCMV-IgG and HCMV-IgM at the same time . Other women (controls) they were lower rates for seropositive HCMV antibodies. The highest rate of IgG was found in rural area while IgM found in urban area. There was an increasing trend in IgM positivity rate with age in pregnant women between 24-29 years. The IgG seroprevalance rate highest in second trimester of pregnancy while the maximum rate of abortion (73.07%) was found in the first trimester of pregnancy. High seropositive rates for HCMV in pregnant women indicate that most of the women were exposed to these viruses before child-bearing age as well as during the pregnancy.

Study of some virulence factors in Proteus sp. associated with diarrhea
type: item
description: Various virulence factors including protease, lipase, lecithinase, deoxyribonuclease, gelatin liquefaction, haemolysin, congo red binding and urease production were determined for 94 Proteus isolates recovered from stool specimens of 518 children suffering from diarrhea. Eighty six (91.5%) of these isolates were belong to Proteus mirabilis and 8 (8.5%) were Proteus penneri. The results showed that the distribution of virulence factors was variable among the tested isolates. All isolates 94 (100%) were urease producers' but have different ability for binding to Congo red, gelatin liquefaction, deoxyribonuclease, lipase, protease, lecithinase, and haemolysin production. In order to study the invasion character, mice (Balb/c) infants were sucked with the suspension of (1) selected virulent isolate of Proteus mirabilis (positive for all the virulence factors), histological sections were performed to study the mode of the entry of bacteria into the enterocytes, and the histological changes in the liver. Microscopical examination for histological sections showed pathological effect on two organs when compared with the control organs. The results give clear evidence that Proteus mirabilis more virulent than Proteus penneri.

Rotavirus, Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and Parasitic Etiology of Pediatric Diarrhea in Kirkuk city
type: item
description: Diarrheal disease continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality among young children in developing countries [1]. Acute gastroenteritis is one of the leading causes of illness and death in infants and children throughout the world, especially in developing countries. An estimated 2.5 million gastroenteritis deaths occur each year in children less than 5 years of age [2]. Diarrheal infections may be caused by bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens. Some cases have a single defined cause; others do not have any defined cause, and a substantial number (one third) are caused by multiple pathogens, because such known diarrheal pathogen fulfills Koch's postulates and is capable of being the sole etiologic agent causing disease. Multiple pathogens are not essential for causing disease. How additional pathogens cause and contribute to the disease process is unknown. The source of the multiple pathogens in a patient could simply result from multiple pathogens in an urban environment of crowded impoverished conditions. If the various pathogens occurred independently in cases of disease, then each pathogen in a polymicrobial infection would be expected to occur in proportion to its presence in all patients with severe diarrhea [3]. Rotavirus remains the commonest cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea among children worldwide. Children in developing countries die more because of several factors including poorer access to hydration therapy. The reported prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea from global surveillance networks and hospital-based studies ranges from 6% to 56%. [4] Rotavirus was coined from the Latin word (rota – meaning wheel), and is given because the viruses have a distinct wheel-like shape [5]. Rotaviruses are non-enveloped, double-stranded RNA viruses (dsRNA) comprising a genus within the family Reoviridae. The 11 segments of dsRNA genome code for 6 structural and 6 non-structural proteins. Seven groups of rotavirus (A–G) have been described, with gr…

Prevalence of Rotavirus, Adenovirus, and Rotavirus denovirus Coinfection among children less than 5 years in Kirkuk city
type: item
description: Infectious gastroenteritis is one of most important causes of morbidity and mortality in children < 5 years age. Rotavirus and enteric adenoviruses are the most important agents of infectious gastroenteritis. Little is known about the epidemiology of rotavirus and adenovirus gastroenteritis in our region. This study was aimed to determine the frequency of rotavirus and enteric adenovirus gastroenteritis in pediatric patients admitted to Kirkuk pediatric hospital. Fresh stool specimens of 177 children < 5 years age patients admitted to Kirkuk pediatric hospital during Jan-May 2012 due to acute gastroenteritis were studied. Rotavirus and enteric adenovirus antigens were investigated in the fresh stool specimens with the qualitative Latex for Rotavirus and Rota-Adeno immunochromatographic test for both Rotavirus and Adenovirus. Using latex agglutination viral antigens were determined In 30 (16.9%) of the fresh stool specimens. Of these 30 specimens, rotavirus was established in 10 (33.3%), enteric adenovirus in 2 (6.6%), both rotavirus and enteric adenovirus in 10 (33.3%) and 8 (26.6%) were negative for both Rota-Adenovirus using immunochromatographic test..

An epidemiologic study on Cryptosporidium spp. in Kirkuk city with some trials for in vitro treating the parasite.
type: item
description: This study was included the examination of 1836 stool samples from patients who attended the Pediatric General Hospital, Azadi Teaching Hospital, and a number of Primary Health Centers in Kirkuk city. The age of the patients were ranged from < 1 to > 60 years. The samples were collected from January to December 2009. Cryptosporidium incidence rate among human population in Kirkuk city was not high (0.98%). The incidence of the parasite was significantly higher in male with rate of 1.16% among 947 stool samples examined than female with rate of 0.79% among 889 stool samples examined. The most age group which was infected was <1 , 1-9 year and 50-59 year with rate of 1.02, 1.14, 2.38% for each age group, respectively. The infection was more severe in children than in adults. Only one case of double infection with Trichomonas hominis was seen among the positive cases. The seasonal prevalence of the parasite had not showed significant differences between the different months of the year. The parasite was more prevalent among tap water users and among people who had animals at residence. The results of the watery and alcoholic plant extracts in in vitro tests of the chorion stem cell cultures showed that the Curcuma longa had the highest effect with inhibition rate of 42.7, 81.8% for each of watery and alcoholic plant extracts, respectively at 1000mg/kg. Very low effect were recorded for each of Coriandrum sativum and Viscum album. The effect of adding folic acid and potassium chloride alone or together to the watery and alcoholic plant extracts had no synergistic effect, they were decreased the inhibition rate of all extracts and azithromycin. Because there are little studies on Cryptosporidium prevalence in Kirkuk city, despite the huge efforts for treating the parasite there is no curative treatment, we tried to study the parasite epidemiology in this city and find out the in vitro effect of some medicinal plant extracts on the parasite.

Protective Effect of Curcumin on Mitronidazole Induced Genotoxicity in Bone Marrow Chromosomes of Swiss Albino Mice
type: item
description: Curcumin the yellow colored polyphenolic super antioxidant derived from powdered rhizome of Curcuma longa is useful in various debilitating conditions. It is also recommended in cancer prevention and as a treatment adjunct in various diseases. Hence, the aim of the present experimental design was to assess the protective effect of curcumin (CUR) on mitronidazole (MTZ) Induced genotoxicity in bone marrow chromosomes of Swiss albino mice. In the present experiment four batches of Swiss-albino mice were maintained. The experimental group was administered five consecutive oral dose of mitronidazole (50mg/kg/animal/day). The subsequent experimental group was administered curcumin (4.5mg/animal/day) for 9 days and on the 10th day Mitronidazole (50mg/kg/animal/day) was administered for five consecutive days. For each experimental group a parallel control group was maintained, one group administered 0.5ml of Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) for 14 days the seconded group administered 50 mg/kg b.wt. of MTZ for 9 days. Twenty two hours after the administration of the last dose, mice were sacrificed and air-dried metaphase preparations were made and subsequently assessed for chromosomal damage. In animals treated with only mitronidazole there was a significant decline in mitotic index. The aneugenic property of mitronidazole was distinctly discernible, besides other chromosomal aberrations such as polyploidy terminal deletions and breaks were also observed. In comparison an elevation in mitotic index equivalent to normal group was discerned in animals pre-treated with curcumin and subsequently treated with mitronidazole and an overall decline in the mutation rate was also discernible clearly indicating the protective effect of curcumin.

Role of Lipoprotein (a) as a risk factor for ischemic heart disease its association with triglycerides in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus
type: item
description: Lipoprotein (a) is an independent risk factor for Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) in the general population. There are conflicting reports in the extent of its association with IHD among subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the study was to determine the concentration of Lp(a) and its relationship with other lipids parameters among Omani T2DM subjects with and without IHD. An over-night fasting blood sample from 221 T2DM subjects (86 females and 135 males) and 156 non-diabetics (69 females and 87 males) aged 30–70 years (as control) was taken for lipid profile studies.Lp(a) was significantly lower (p = 0.012) among T2DM subjects 0.123(1.12) g/L compared to non-diabetics 0.246 (1.18) g/L, irrespective of gender. A significant correlation (Spearman correlation, P = 0.047) was revealed between Lp(a) and IHD among Omani T2DM subjects. The proportions of T2DM subjects with IHD and an Lp(a) >0.3 g/L was higher compared to T2DM without IHD irrespective of gender, for women 42% vs. 27% and for men 17.5 vs. 8%, respectively. A significant negative correlation existed between Lp(a) and triglycerides (r = 0.41, P = 0.002) among T2DM subjects. In contrast, a significant positive correlation existed between Lp(a) and LDL-chol among the non-diabetic subjects. Women had significantly higher Lp(a) concentration compared to men ( 0.30 Vs. 0.16 g/L, P < 0.0001) irrespective of the diabetic status. Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for IHD among T2DM subjects. Lp(a) concentration was significantly lower and negatively correlated with triglycerides among diabetic compared to non-diabetic subjects

Antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects of black grape seed (Vitis Vinifera L.)
type: item
description: This study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity of black grape seed extract. Total phenolic compounds and flavonoids were determined in two different black grape seed extracts (BGSEs) (aqueous and ethanolic extract). Antioxidant activity of (BGSEs) were evaluated by various antioxidant assays, including total antioxidant capacity, reducing power, by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, nitric oxide scavenging, Hydroxyl radical scavenging, and metal ion chelating activities. These various antioxidant activities were compared to ascorbic acid as standard antioxidant. The results showed that the two (BGSEs) contained large amounts of phenolic and flavonoids compounds. The two (BGSEs) have an antioxidant activities. The results also indicated that the ethanolic (EGSE) contains larger amounts of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and has a higher antioxidant activities than that of aqueous (WGSE). These results indicated that black grape seed extracts aqueous and alcoholic in especial ethanolic (EGSE) are good scavengers for reactive oxygen species(ROS) and are a potential source of natural antioxidant, that may be used in pharmaceutical or food industries.

Influence of Benzamidomethionine Triorganotin(Iv) on Photostabilization Processes of Poly(Vinyl Chloride)
type: item
description: The photostabilization of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) films by triorganotin(IV) complexes of the type Ph₃SnL, Bu₃SnL and Me₃SnL of the Triorganotin (IV) with Benzamidomethionine complexes was investigated. The PVC film containing concentration of complexes 0.5% by weight were produced by casting method from tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent. The photostabilization activities of these compounds were determined by monitoring the carbonyl, polyene and hydroxyl indices with irradiation time. The changes in viscosity average molecular weight of PVC with irradiation time were also tracked (using THF as a solvent). The quantum yield of the chain scission ($\Phi_{cs}$) of these complexes in PVC films was evaluated and found to range between $5.72 \times 10^{-8}$ and $7.16 \times 10^{-8}$. Results obtained showed that the rate of photostabilization of PVC in the presence of the additive follows the trend: Ph₃SnL > Bu₃SnL > Me₃SnL According to the experimental results obtained, several mechanisms were suggested depending on the structure of the additive. Among them HCl scavenging, UV absorption, peroxide decomposer and radical scavenger for photostabilizer additives mechanisms were suggested.
