Association between anti-CMV IgG and salivary levels of IL‐6 and TNF-α in chronic periodontitis
...Show More Authors

Background: Periodontitis is an infection attributable to multiple infectious; it causes an interrelated cellular and humoral host immune responses. Recent reports have indicated that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) may contribute to pathogenesis of periodontitis. The HCMV can stimulate the release of cytokines from inflammatory and non-inflammatory cells and weaken the periodontal immune defense. This study aimed to reveal the presence of anti-CMV IgG, and determine the levels of IL‐6 and TNF-α and to correlate the presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) with cytokines levels. Materials and Methods: Forty patients with chronic periodontitis and 40 healthy control subjects (their age and sex were matched with the patients) were involved in this study. Periodontal parameters used in this study included plaque index (PLI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP). Saliva samples were taken from all subjects. ELISA was carried out to estimate the levels of anti-CMV IgG, IL‐6 and TNF-α. Statistical tests used involved t-test, Mann-Whitney, Chi-square, Fisher exact and spearman's correlation test. Results: This study found a significant difference (p<0.05) in the frequency of anti-CMV IgG in saliva between patients and controls. The number and percentage of patients group who had positive for anti-CMV IgG were 14 (35%), while controls were 5 (12.5%). A significant increase was found in mean of PPD, CAL and BOP among patients with the positive IgG as compared to those patients with the negative IgG. In addition, there was a significant elevation in the salivary levels of IL‐6 and TNF-α in patients compared with healthy controls. IL- 6 was significantly associated with GI and BOP, whereas TNF-α was significantly associated with PPD and CAL. On the other hand, there was a significant correlation between TNF-α and anti- CMV IgG. Conclusion: The findings revealed that the significant association between the presence of virus with periodontal parameters and cytokines level in patients group gives additional evidence toward the potential importance of the direct and indirect effects of CMV infection in periodontitis. Keywords: Periodontitis, Anti- CMV IgG, Cytokines.

Anti –phytopathogenic Activities of Cladophora glomerata extract against plant fungi
...Show More Authors

The antiphytopathogenic effects of the crude methanol extract of Cladophora glomerata (Lin.) Kützing (Cladophoraceae) which isolated from Al Rashidiya region at north of Baghdad was investigated against two type of plant fungi (Pythium altimum and Rhizoctonia solani) which causes damping off disease where isolated from covered cucumber field in Al-Alyosifia region. Hot methanol extract showed antifungal activity against the two species of fungi in different concentrations(10,25,50 mg/ml) of extract to Cladophora glomerata as percentage inhibition (51.63 ,72.8 ,83.71) and (56.18 ,77.41 ,100)comparing with Pythium altimum and Rhizoctonia solani respectively .primary detection of active compounds showed that macroalgae (Cladoph

Fabrication of Advanced Cement Mortar for Building Anti-Bacterial Applications
...Show More Authors

In this research, we have added nano anatase TiO2 as a partial replacement of Portland cement by a weight percentage of (0.25 to 1%) for the development of properties for protection against bacteria. The control mix was made by using "the cement to sand" proportion about (1: 2.75) with the "water to cement" proportion of (0.5) to study the structure, porosity, water absorption, density, mechanical properties, as well as anti-bacterial behavior. Inspections have been done such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscope (AFM) for mortar. Experimental results showed that after the addition of Nano powders in cement mortar, the structural properties improved significantly with the development of hydration o

Effect of adding different levels of Ganoderma lucidum to broiler diets on physiological traits and meat oxidation indicators.
...Show More Authors

This study was conducted in the poultry field of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences / University of Baghdad for the period from 10/15/2021 to 11/25/2021 in order to show the effect of adding different levels of Ganoderma lucidum to broiler diets on physiological traits and indicators of fat oxidation in meat. In it, 200 unsexed (Ross 308) chicks of one-day-old breed were used, with a starting weight of (40) g. The chicks were distributed and randomly divided into four treatments, with 50 birds for each treatment. One treatment included five replicates (10 birds/repeat) and the experiment treatments were T1, T2, T3, and T4. The percentages of adding reishi mushrooms were 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 g/kg of feed, respectively. Th
