Background: Breast cancer has become one of the most predominant health risks among women and its mass death rate has continued to escalate world over. New data indicate that breast cancer may be modification by lifestyle factors, especially diet. Lactobacillus and Lactococcus type of probiotics have been identified to cure or promote health by regulation of the immune mechanism. Such bacteria are frequently found in healthy breast tissue and they could possibly help prevent breast cancer. Combining with a well established probiotic, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus has proved to have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, therefore, it should be a prospective probiotic strain to maintain breast health. Aim: was to assess the inflammatory effect of the probiotic supplement on selected breast cancer cell lines. Methods: This study examined the response of two distinct probiotic supplements on the immune-related responses within the cell line of breast cancer (AMJ-13 and MCF-7).The first probiotic (T1) consisted of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, while the second (T2) was a bacterial cocktail comprising eight probiotic strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Their immune responses were evaluated in terms of IL-22 (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) and IL-37 (an anti-inflammatory cytokine) levels measured so via ELISA assays at 48 and 72 hours. Results: The findings revealed that the T2 probiotic cocktail had strong effects on preventing IL-22 release in both MCF-7 and AMJ-13 cells after the two time points (p < 0.05). Instead, T1 played a significant proliferative role on increasing IL-22 level in AMJ 13 cell at 48 and 72 hours. Moreover, T1 had a great impact on IL-37 production at both timepoints whereas T2 regulated IL-37 secretion both in MCF-7 and in AMJ-13 cells. These results indicate that probiotic bacteria could work on immune responses through regulating the release of inflammatory cytokines, maybe by intervening in the inflammatory milieu linked to breast cancer. Conclusion: Summing up, probiotic supplements, especially, preparations with live bacteria could potentially modulate immune responses and interfere with inflammation in breast cancer. These findings emphasize the significance of the continued study of the probiotic use in the treatment of breast cancer.
This work includes the synthesis and identification of ligand {3-((4-acetylphenyl)amino)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex2-en-1-one} (HL* ) by the treatment of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with 4-aminoacetophenone under reflux. The ligand (HL* ) was identified via FTIR, Mass spectrum, elemental analysis (C.H.N.), 1H and 13C-NMR spectra, UV-Vis spectroscopy, TGA and melting point. The complexes were synthesized from ligand (HL* ) mixed with 3-aminophenol (A) and metal ion M(II), where M(II) = (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd) at alkaline medium to produce complexes of general formula [M(L* )(A)] with (1:1:1) molar ratio. These complexes were detected via FT-IR spectra, UV-Vis spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis (A.A) and melting point, conductivit

Abstract
Oil is considered a commodity and is still an important and prominent role in drawing and shaping the Iraqi economic scene. The revenues generated from the export of oil are considered the main source of the general budget in cash flows.
Since the revenues consist of quantity and price and the latter is an external factor which is difficult to predict, The effect of any commodity on its price, which is proven in the theory of micro-economic, but it is observed through the research that the response is slow, which means not to take advantage of the rise in prices, by increasing the quantity exported, the result of several facto

That was accomplished through surveying the attitudes of the students who are enrolled in the faculties of media at the following universities: (Petra University, The Middle East University (MEU), and Al-Yarmouk University). Those students were enrolled in the master’s program within the formal educational system during the second semester of the academic year (2015 – 2016). This survey aims to identify the services, facilities and academic programs provided by the concerned faculties. It, also, aims to identify the public relations, administrative, educational and services aspects of those faculties.
