Objectives of this project were to study the effect of 60% crude alcoholic extract of the seeds of cyperus esculentuson induced endometritis in the mice . The plant of cyperus esculentuswas extracted by preparing Alcoholic extract 60% . One hundred microliters of saline containing Escherichia coli (104cfu) was used to induce endometritis, by a single intracervicallyinjection, and endometritis developed after 2 days from injection. The mice were divided into five groups, The first group were treated with alcoholic extract of cyperus esculentusextract 150mg/kg body weight, the second group was treated with a daily 3mg per kg body weight of gentamicin given intra peritoneal,The third group was treated by 75mg/kg of cyperus esculentusextract and 1.5mg/kg of gentamicin, The fourth group was treated by distilled water given orally by stomach tube, treatment of mice in these groups continued for 14 days while the the fifth group was (negativecontrol group). The results of the packed cell volume (P.C.V.)%, hemoglobin (Hb)g/dL of mice in alcoholic extract group(T1)after 7 days of treatment showed significant improvement as compared with mice in induction group (T4) andafter 14 days of showed no significant increase (P≤ 0.05)as compared with mice in control group (T5). While in gentamicin(T2) treated group after 7 and 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T4) and (T5) , furthermore the mice in alcoholic extract and gentamicin treated group(T3) after 7 and 14 days showed significant decrease as compared with (T5) in addition showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared (T2). Total white blood cell count and all differential white blood cell of alcoholic extract group(T1)after 7 days of treatment showed significant improvement as compared with (T4) and after 14 days of treatment showed no significant increase (P≤ 0.05)as compared with (T5). While the (T2)after 7 and 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) as compared with (T4) and (T5) while the eosinophil percentage showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T5). While (T3)after 7 days showed no significant important as compared with control group, but after 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease as compared with control group, in addition showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T2). the results of fertility index shown in alcoholic extract treated group (T1) and alcoholic extract and gentamicin treated group (T3) was increased as compared gentamicin treated group (T2). The results of body weight and uterine weight showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) in alcoholic extract treated group as compared with control group and mice in gentamicin group.After 7 and 14days of induction with E.coli intrauterine infection revealed presence of inflammatory cellswithin the endometrial glands and surrounding glands, glandular epithelium is degenerating and the lumen contains cellular debris) , while the groups that treated with both extract and gentamicinshowed cellular debris within the glandular endometrium. group treated with the extract for 14days noticed cellular debris within the glandular endometrium and few inflammatory cells around the endometrial glands. Thegroup treated with Gentamicin for 14days of inductionshowed also degenerating of glandular epithelium and aggregates of inflammatory cells surrounding degenerating glands and presence of hemosiderin around glands, the control group showed normal uterine tissue
The biological activities of some ternary nickel complexes with a Schiff base obtained from 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and 2-aminophenol have been reported. The Schiff base ( HL1) acts as a primary ligand whereas, anthranilic acid ( HL2), 2-nitroaniline ( HL3), alanine ( HL4) and histidine ( HL5) act as secondary ligand or co-ligand. The anticancer activity of these compounds was studied against human colon carcinoma (HCT-116), human hepatocellular liver carcinoma (HEPG-2) and human breast carcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. As per the results, the compounds were active against the cell lines. The antioxidant activity of the same compounds was evaluated using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging and compared with ascorbic aci

The optical properties of QDs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis.) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer. The results show that the prepared QDs were nanocrystalline with defects formation. The energy gap (Eg)calculated from PL were 3.64, 3.53 and 3.35 eV for pH=8, 10 and 12 respectively. This decreasing of energy gaps is results of the effect the pH solution increases, which in turn leads to the shifted of the PL spectrum toward red shifted, which makes the energy bands at surface states are shallow ban

The optimum conditions for production of fibrinolytic protease from an edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus grown on the solid medium , Sus medium, composed of Sus wastes (produced from extracted medicinal plant Glycyrrhiza glabra) were determined. Addition of 5% of Soya bean seeds meal in Sus medium recorded a maximum fibrinolytic protease activity resulting in 7.7 units / ml. The optimum moisture content of Sus medium supplemented with 5% Soya bean seeds meal was 60% resulting in 7.2 units / ml.Pleurotus ostreatus produced a maximum fibrinolytic protease activity when the spawn rate,pH of medium and incubation temperature were 2,6 and 30°C, respectively. The maximum fibrinolytic protease activity was 7.6 units / ml when incubat
... Show MoreMultiple eliminations (de-multiple) are one of seismic processing steps to remove their effects and delineate the correct primary refractors. Using normal move out to flatten primaries is the way to eliminate multiples through transforming these data to frequency-wavenumber domain. The flatten primaries are aligned with zero axis of the frequency-wavenumber domain and any other reflection types (multiples and random noise) are distributed elsewhere. Dip-filter is applied to pass the aligned data and reject others will separate primaries from multiple after transforming the data back from frequency-wavenumber domain to time-distance domain. For that, a suggested name for this technique as normal move out- frequency-wavenumber domain

Striae distensae SD or stretch mark are frequent skin lesion that cause considerable aesthetic concern. The 1064nm long pulsed Nd:YAG Laser has been used to promote an increase in dermal collagen and is known to be a Laser that has a high affinity to vascular chromphores. Also by using fractional CO2 Laser 10600nm as an effective modality in treatment of striae distensae SD. It works to stimulate fibroblast and enhance Collagen formation, which is important for newly generated skin tissue.
Objectives: This study aims to verify the efficacy of long pulsed Nd: YAG Laser (1064nm) in the treatment of immature striae distensae (SD) and the efficacy of C02 fractional Laser (10600nm) in treatment o
