The aim of this work is the synthesis of new grafted PVA polymer with a derivative of Erythro-ascorbic acid (pentulosono-ɣ -lactone-2, 3-enedianisoate). All synthesized compounds were characterized by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and FTIR spectra and aldehyde was also characterized by (U.V-Vis), 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectra. They were also evaluated for antimicrobial properties by dilute method against four pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli ,Klebsiella pneumonae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus Albus) and two fungal (Aspergillus Niger, Yeast). All polymer metal complexes showed good activities against the various microbial isolates. The polymer metal complexes showed higher activity than the free polymer. The order of increa

Polymer metal complexes of poly ethylene glycol acetal and Ag (I), Cu (II), Ni (II), Mn (II), Co (III) and Hg (II) were prepared from the reaction of PEG with aldehyde derived fromErythro-ascorbic acid (pentulosono-ɣ-lactone-2, 3- enedianisoate). All these compounds were characterized by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and FTIR spectra and aldehyde was also characterized by (U.V-Vis), 1HNMR,13CNMR, and mass spectra. It has been established that, the polymer and its metal complexes showedgood activities against four pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli , Klebsiellapneumonae,Staphylococcusaureus, Staphylococcus Albus) and two fungal (Aspergillus Niger,Yeast). The polymer metal complexes showed higher activity than the free polymer.Theorder

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative autoimmune disease mediated by autoreactive T cells against myelin-basic proteins. Cytokines are suggested to play a role in the etiopathogenesis of the disease. Among these cytokines is interleukin-2 (IL-2). Aim of the study: To investigate the association between IL2+166 G/T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP: rs2069763) and MS in Iraqi patients. Serum level of IL-2 was also detected. Anti-rubella IgG antibody was further determined in the sera of patients. Patients and methods: Eighty MS patients (28 males and 52 females; age mean ± SD: 39.2 ± 16.1 years) and 80 healthy control matched patients for age (32.15 ± 16.13 years) and gender (28 males and 52 females) were en

Background: obesity is a major global health problem with more than 200 million obese men and almost 300 million obese women. Melatonin is a well-known molecule for its involvement in circadian rhythm regulation and has multiple pathological actions including control of appetite, sleep wake cycle and metabolic syndrome.

Aim: to estimate the effect of melatonin supplements on obese patients on a calorie restricted diet in comparison to patients on lifestyle measures only in the form of weight loss, waist circumference and sleep quality.

Subjects and Method: one hundred patients with body mass index > 24 were collected, fifty patients were starte

أجرينا في هذا البحث تحليلاً مقارناً لأعمال شاعرتين معاصرتين هما لاريسا ميلر وفيرا بافلوفا، اللتين عاشتا قبل انهيار الاتحاد السوفييتي وبعده، ووجدنا أن صورة الماضي في أعمال لاريسا ميلر تعكس تصوراتها للحياة السوفيتية وتجاربها في تلك الحقبة، وأن صورة الطبيعة تؤدي دوراً مهما في التعبير عن المواقف تجاه الماضي. تعبر فيرا بافلوفا عن موقفها من الماضي من خلال تجربة الحياة، أي أن  صورة الماضي في أعمالها مليئة  با

الأهداف: تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تقديم توصيف لدور الحكومات في مواجهة العمليات التي يلعبها الإرهاب الإلكتروني في مختلف الميادين، خاصة في ظل المتغيرات الراهنة التي نشهدها، وتنامي ظاهرة الثورة المعلوماتية، التي ساهمت في ظهور المواقع الإلكترونية المختلفة، التي أصبحت تلعب دورًا رئيسًا في التأثير في الأفراد ككل، ومنه خلق ضرورة لتفعيل لدور الأمن المعلوماتي، وذلك للمشاركة في عمليات التوعية المعلوماتية أو الرقم

. فن التوقيع فن امتاز به الخلفاء والأمراء في الأدب العربي وبلغ قمة ازدهاره وتطوره في العصر العباسي ، فكان من الطبيعي أن يهتم به عالم فذ اشتهر بالتأ ليف والكتابة في عصره هو أبو حيان التوحيدي ، ومن خلال قراءتي لمؤلفات التوحيدي وجدته قد اهتم بالتوقيعات في كتابه الموسوعي البصائر والذخائر ؛ ولذلك آثرت دراسة الجوانب الفنية التي امتازت بها التوقيعات التي نقلها التوحيدي لنا ، فحظيت لذلك بإهتمامه ، وقد ركزت في دراستي
