Phytochemical Analysis and Prostate Cancer Cytotoxicity of Iraqi Apium graveolens: A GC-MS Approach
...Show More Authors

Apium graveolens has been utilized for a multitude of purposes due to its diverse pharmacological characteristics. On the other hand, little is known about how the fatty acids (saturated and unsaturated) terpenes and steroids found in Iraqi Apium graveolens affect the human cancer cells. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Iraqi Apium graveolens petroleum ether extract on the human prostate cancer cell line (PC3). Subsidiary extraction and phytochemical analysis by GC/MS were performed.The dry and fresh aerial parts (leaves and stem) of Apium graveolens were extracted using a Soxhlet device with 70 % ethanol, then fractionated with petroleum ether. Then Gas Chromatography System was used to identify the bioactive components, and The MTT assay was performed in human prostate cancer cell line (PC3) that was treated with different concentrations of the petroleum ether extract of both the fresh and dried parts (250, 500, and 1000μg/ml) and the results were compared to docetaxel as a control drug after 24,48, and 72 hrs of treatment, and cell viability was evaluated. The fresh part of the of Iraqi Apium graveolens was richer with important saturated fatty acids, steroids and terpenes more than the dry part. Furthermore, the fresh part showed a considerable cytotoxic activity in the human prostate cancer cell line (PC3), which is a concentration and time dependent effect; The half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were reduced over time from 1549, 183.6, to 26.45μg/ml, and the cytotoxicity was increased with a remarkable reduction in the cancer cell viability. The fresh part of the petroleum ether fraction of Iraqi Apium graveolens has potential anticancer activity in prostate cancer more than the dried part. This result opens the minds to the fresh plant era and challenges the traditional belief that the dry plants produce better results than the fresh ones.

The role of the tax examiner's procedures in increasing or decreasing tax revenue : Applied research in the General Authority for Taxes
...Show More Authors

Abstract:

               The tax is one of the elements of the general revenues of the state and contributes to covering its expenses. Taxes are imposed in most countries of the world. The tax proceeds depend on a set of factors that contribute either positively or negatively to the tax share by increasing or decreasing it. Therefore, the research aims to demonstrate the role of the tax examiner's procedures in achieving the validity of the taxable base and its reflection on the tax proceeds, as well as reviewing the tax examiner's procedures related to the tax return process. Examination and tax audit of the financial statements, as well as presenting the financial statements to an independent and i

PDF Photodynamic effect of Rose Bengal activated by low-level laser light on S. aureus : Qusay K. Abbas*, Layla M. Hassan
...Show More Authors

Abstract: Background: Staphylococcus aureus is Gram-positive bacteria that lives as a normal flora in living organisms but can be pathogenic to humans. Although a relatively unspectacular, nonmotile coccoid bacterium, S. aureus is a dangerous human pathogen in both community-acquired and nosocomial infections. Due to the increasing emergence of new strains of this antibiotic-resistant bacteria, it has become essential to approach different methods to control this pathogen. One of these methods is the antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation process using a low-level laser, in this paper, the Photodynamic effects of Rose Bengal and LLLL on the virulence factors of S.aureus were evaluated.

Distribution Of Some Heavy Metals In Water,Sediment & Fish Cyprinus carpio in Euphrates River Near Al- Nassiriya City Center South Iraq .
...Show More Authors

The heavy metals Cd, Cu, Fe, pb, and Zn were determined in dissolved and particulate phases of the water,in addition to exchangeable and residual phases of the sediment and in the selected organs of the fish Cyprinus carpio collected from the Euphrates River near Al-Nassiriya city center south of Iraq during the summer period / 2009 .Also sediment texture and total organic carbon(TOC) were measured. Analysis emploing a flam Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers . The mean regional concentrations of the heavy metals in dissolved (µg/l) and particulate phases (µg/gm) dry weight were Cd (0.15,16.13) ,Cu (0.59,24.48) ,Fe (726,909.4) ,Pb (0.20, 49.95) and Zn (2.5,35.62) respectively,and those for exchangeable and residual phases of the
