GENETIC ANALYSIS OF INTERLEUKIN 37GENE SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS IN ALOPECIA AREATA PATIENTS
...Show More Authors

Background: Alopecia areata(AA) is a common autoimmune disease that causes hair loss without scarring. It occurs as a result of T-helper 1 (Th1) and Th17 cells attacking the anagen hair follicles. Genetic factors play a role in the occurrence of infection, which stimulates the production of pro and anti-inflammatory interleukins. Polymorphisms of IL-37 play a role in autoimmune diseases. However, IL37 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP) have not been identified in patients with AA. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal the IL37 gene SNP and its relationship to AA. Methods: Genotyping of IL-37 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs were detected using sequence-specific primer-polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) method was done following the protocol of DNA Extraction kit and PCR PreMix SNP Genotyping Assays in 51 (32 males & 19 females at age mean 27.90±1.66 years) patients with AA and 50 (21 males & 29 females at age mean30.64±2.08years ) healthy individuals. Results: The results of the present study showed a significant increase in the mean level of IL-37 in the serum of patients with AA compared to healthy subjects (184.18±69.45 vs.153.28±48.17) pg/ml. This increase did not constitute a significant difference at a probability level less than. In addition, genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-37 gene were rs3811045 (5756 T>C) and rs3811046 (5831 G>T) that result in substitution and inversion mutations, and thus cause a change in the type of amino acid. The CC and allele C and TC of rs3811045 were risk factors for AA due to a significantly higher odd ration (OR) value and a significantly increased frequency percentage in patients group compared to a healthy control group (37.50 vs 25.58 OR: 1.75 p = 0.264, 95% CI = 0.72–4.25, 66.0 vs 86.0 OR: 1.78 p = 0.068, 95% CI = 0.98–3.23; 56.25 vs 55.81 OR: 1.02 p = 1.0 95% CI = 0.45–2.31 respectively). Also the results of rs3811046 recorded that the TT and allele T frequency percentages were significant increase in patients group (39.58 vs 25.58 OR: 1.91 P = 0.184, 95% CI = 0.79-4.63, 66.0 vs. 52.0 OR: 1.74, P =0.072,95%CI= 0.96–3.15) respectively, which was a risk factor for infection. This study is the first of its kind to show the relationship of IL-37 level and genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms with AA. Conclusions The present study's results can conclude that the TC, CC and the C allele of IL-37 SNP rs3811045 and TT genotypes and the T allele of IL-37 SNP rs3811046 have a role in the risk of developing AA. It is recommended to conduct several genetic studies of other interleukin genes and to ascertain their relationship to AA. © 2023, Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering.

Stress Concentration factor Analysis of Helical Gear Drives with Asymmetric Teeth Profiles
...Show More Authors

This study investigates the influence of asymmetric involute teeth profiles for helical gears on the bending stress. Theoretically, bending stress has been estimated in spur involute gears which have symmetric teeth profile by based on the Lewis, 1892 equation. Later, this equation is developed by, Abdullah, 2012. to determine the effect of an asymmetric tooth profile for the spur gear on the bending stress. And then these equations are applied with stress concentration factor once for symmetric and once other for asymmetric teeth profile. In this paper, the bending stresses for various types of helical gear with various types of asymmetric teeth profile are calculated numerically for defined the stress concentration fac

Malaysia has been supported by one of the high-speed fiber internet connections called TM UniFi. TM UniFi is very familiar to be used as a medium to apply Small Office Home Office (SOHO) concept due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the communication vendors offer varieties of network services to fulfill customers' needs and satisfaction during the pandemic. Quality of Services is queried by most users by the fact of increased on users from time to time. Therefore, it is crucial to know the network performance contrary to the number of devices connected to the TM UniFi network. The main objective of this research is to analyze TM UniFi performance with the impact of multiple device connections or users' services. The study was conducted

A Hybrid Method of Linguistic and Statistical Features for Arabic Sentiment Analysis
...Show More Authors

          Sentiment analysis refers to the task of identifying polarity of positive and negative for particular text that yield an opinion. Arabic language has been expanded dramatically in the last decade especially with the emergence of social websites (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, etc.). Several studies addressed sentiment analysis for Arabic language using various techniques. The most efficient techniques according to the literature were the machine learning due to their capabilities to build a training model. Yet, there is still issues facing the Arabic sentiment analysis using machine learning techniques. Such issues are related to employing robust features that have the ability to discrimina

Theoretical Analysis of Seepage through Homogeneous and Non-homogeneous Saturated-Unsaturated Soil
...Show More Authors

In this research, the program SEEP / W was used to compute the value of seepage through the homogenous and non-homogeneous earth dam with known dimensions. The results show that the relationship between the seepage and water height in upstream of the dam to its length for saturated soil was nonlinear when the dam is homogenous. For the non-homogeneous dam, the relationship was linear and the amount of seepage increase with the height of water in upstream to its length. Also the quantity of seepage was calculated using the method of (Fredlund and Xing, 1994) and (Van Genuchten, 1980) when the soil is saturated – unsaturated, the results referred to that the higher value of seepage when the soil is saturated and the lowe

Comparative Analysis of Two Robust Strategies for an Angular Velocity Control System
...Show More Authors

In this paper, a novel flow control strategy which is the inlet throttled pump was used to design an angular velocity control system for rotary actuator. Inlet throttled systems have good performance in addition to their high efficiency compared to traditional valve controlled systems. The flow in the proposed system is adjusted by a valve that is positioned at the pump inlet with the purpose of reducing the energy loses across the valve. This regulated flow is used then to control the actuator angular velocity. The system was modeled and the open loop stability and performance were studied. In order to improve the system performance, Robust-Proportional-Integral-Derivative (RPID) and structured singular value (M@#@) controllers have been d
