Comparative study of the antioxidant effects of lavender and flax oils in recurrent aphthous ulceration treatment
...Show More Authors

Background: Recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU) is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology characterized by painful recurrent (single or multiple) ulcerations of the oral mucosa. It is one of the most common and poorly understood mucosal disorders. It occurs more frequently in times of stress. Local and systemic conditions, genetic, immunologic, microbial factors, and oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of RAU. The objective of this study was to evaluate the free radical metabolism and antioxidant activity of RAU patients treated by lavender or flax oil paint.

Materials and Methods: Sixty-six RAU patients were enrolled in this prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Analysis of the plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), Nitric oxide (NO), myeloperoxidase (MPO), Vit. E, Vit. C, and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) were determined. The ulcer size, healing time, and healing process were correlated to the plasma levels of the studied parameters for the assessment of the antioxidant mechanism of action of lavender and flax oil paint in the treatment of RAU.

Results: Statistical analysis showed that lavender antioxidant action was higher than flax oil paint compared to placebo. The decreased oxidative stress and the damage caused by free radicals was significant in the lavender group than both flax group and placebo (P<0.001).

Conclusion: This study proves the significant antioxidant mechanism of both lavender and flax in the treatment of RAU patients.

Keywords: Recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU), oxidative stress, antioxidants, lavender, flax

Study the Effect of Particle Sizes and Concentration on the Rheological Properties of Iraqi Bentonite for Using as Drilling Fluids
...Show More Authors

The aim of this study is to identify the effect of particle size and to increase the concentration of Iraqi bentonite on rheological properties in order to evaluate its performance and to know if it can be used as drilling fluid without additives or not. In this study, Iraqi bentonite was carried out by mineral composition (XRD), chemical composition (XRF) and Particle size distribution (PSD), and its rheological properties were measured at different particle size and concentration. The results showed that when the particle size of Iraqi bentonite decreased, and the rheological properties were increased with increased concentration of Iraqi bentonite. Also, Iraqi bentonite was unable to use as drilling fluid without certain additives.

Experimental Study on the Effect of Using Metallic Brushes on the Charging and Discharging Time of Thermal Energy Storage Unit
...Show More Authors

Phase change materials are known to be good in use in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems, but one of their drawbacks is the slow melting and solidification processes. So that, in this work, enhancing heat transfer of phase change material is studied experimentally for in charging and discharging processes by the addition of high thermal conductive material such as copper in the form of brushes, which were added in both PCM and air sides. The additions of brushes have been carried out with different void fractions (97%, 94% and 90%) and the effect of four different air velocities was tested. The results indicate that the minimum brush void fraction gave the maximum heat transfer in PCM and reduced the time
