This study aimed to investigate the effect of water treated with a magnetic field with different induction on the histological structure of the kidney and testicular tissue of albino rats. For this purpose, fifty albino rats were divided into five equal groups, the first of which was used as a control group, drank clean tap water for four weeks, the other groups were given daily water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 gauss. Then the animals were sacrificed and histological changes in the kidneys and testicles were examined. Histopathological examination of the kidneys of animals that were given water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 500, 1000 and 1500 gauss revealed normal renal tubules and glomeruli. Histopathological examination of the kidneys of rats that consumed water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 2000 gauss showed numerous focal hemorrhages and vacuolar degeneration of the epithelium lining the tubules. Histological sections at magnification revealed vacuolar degeneration of the epithelium of the tubules, mainly the collecting tubules, the formation of tubular casts and tubular necrosis. Examination of the testicular tissue of rats exposed to water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 500 and 1000 gauss showed normal seminiferous structure and cytoarchitecture of the germinal epithelium areas, as well as normal interstitial tissue. In contrast, rats given water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 1500 gauss showed marked narrowing of the seminiferous tubules, moderate vacuolar degeneration of the germinal epithelium, necrosis of a number of spermatogonia cells, and thickening of the testicular interstitium. Histopathological examination of the testes of rats exposed to water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 2000 gauss showed significant vacuolar degeneration, necrosis of a number of spermatogonia cells, and thickening of the testicular interstitium, as well as significant damage to the seminiferous tubules and germinal epithelium. Thus, water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 2000 gauss negatively affected both the kidneys and testicles, while water treated with a magnetic field with strength of 1000 gauss improved the function of the kidney and testicular tissue of rats and did not affect their structure
Background: Bacteriocin is a peptidic toxin has many advantages to bacteria in their ecological niche and has strong antibacterial activity. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluation of bacteriocin using Streptococcus sanguinis isolated from human dental caries.
Subjects and Methods: Thirty five streptococcus isolates were diagnosed and tested for their production of bacteriocin, and then the optimal conditions for production of bacteriocin were determined. After that, the purification of bacteriocin was made partially by ammonium sulfate at 95% saturation levels, followed by and gel filtration chromatography
... Show MoreWater quality assessment offers a scientific basis for water resource development and management. This research aims to assessment of Al-Rustamiya sewage treatment plant depending on annually changes and produces maps that declare changes on parameter during a period (2015-2018). Based on prior Government Department Baghdad Environment data which annually feature changes for samples from Northern Rustamiya have been estimated as a working model. Drawn a map of the Diyala River shows annual changes in the characteristics of the Diyala River, based on northern and southern Rustamiya effluent samples, and Diyala River samples. The characteristics that research focused on were biochemical
In this work, enhancement to the fluorescence characteristics of laser dye solutions hosting highly-pure titanium dioxide nanoparticles as random gain media. This was achieved by coating two opposite sides of the cells containing these media with nanostructured thin films of highly-pure titanium dioxide. Two laser dyes; Rhodamine B and Coumarin 102, were used to prepare solutions in hexanol and methanol, respectively, as hosts for the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles and thin films were prepared by dc reactive magnetron sputtering technique. The enhancement was observed by the narrowing of fluorescence linewidth as well as by increasing the fluorescence intensity. These parameters were compared to those of the dye only and the dye solution
... Show MoreThis study identified the genus Coelastrella Chodat, 1922 which was isolated from a sediment sample taken from the Tigris river in Baghdad Governorate, Iraq. The alga was isolated and cultured in modified Chu 10 media and the morphological features of the isolated algae were observed in light microscopy (LM); it showed some characteristic features of this genus, such as its ellipsoidal or lemon- shaped cells, a visible pyrenoid and the chloroplast parietal. To ensure correct identification of the isolated alga, a molecular analysis using 18S rRNA gene and DNA sequencing revealed a match with C. terrestris (Reisigl) Hedewald & N. Hanagata 2002. This species is a new record in Iraq
