تضاعف انتشار مرض السكري من النوع 2 في السنوات الأخيرة نتيجة الخلل في إنتاج الأنسولين ، والذي يمكن أن يتطور ليشكل مضاعفات مرض السكري التي تؤثر على الكلى والأعصاب والعينين. ونتيجة لذلك ، فإن التشخيص المبكر والتصنيف لمرض السكري من النوع الثاني ضروريان لمساعدة الطبيب على التقييم. وفقًا لذلك ، هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى تحديد مستويات بروتين ارتباط الريتينول 4 (RBP4) في المرضى الذين يعانون من السكري النوع الثاني وما قبل السكري كمنبئ مبكر لحالة المرض. وكنتيجة لذلك ، هدفت الدراسة الحالية الى تحديد مستوى البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 لمرضى السكري النوع الثاني وحالة ما قبل السكري كمؤشر مبكر لحالة المرض. شملت الدراسة الحالية على 138 شخصا، مقسمة الى ثلاث مجاميع على اساس معايير مستوى السكر الصيامي والهيموكلوبين المسكر تمثل مجموعة السكري(46 مريضا) ومجموعة ماقبل السكري ( 46 شخصا) ومجموعة الاصحاء (46 شخصا) عند مراجعتهم للمركز الوطني للسكري- الجامعة المستنصرية. تم استخدام مقايسة الممتز المناعي المرتبط بالانزيم للكشف عن مسنوى البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 والانسولين وتقنيات القياس الطيفي لتحديد مستويات السكر الصيامي والدهون. اظهرت نتائج البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 فروق معنوية(P≤0.0001) بين المجموعات المدروسة. كما أظهرت نتائج الأنسولين اختلافات معنوية (P≤0.0001) بين مجموعة مرضى السكر ومجموعة السيطرة. واظهرت نتائج مقاومة الانسولين فروق معنويه((P≤0.0001 كما اظهرت نتائج ملف الدهون تأثير معنوي (P≤0.002), (P≤0.0001), (P≤ 0.050) ماعدا HDL التي اظهرت عدم وجود فرق معنوي(P≤.0.148). يمكن الاستنتاج ان البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 يمكن ان يكون مؤشر مبكر لمرض السكري وعززت ذلك نتائج تحليل ال ROC والتي اكدت الى ان البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 هو مؤشر ممتاز لتشخيص الحالة المدروسة.
Non-thermal or cold plasma create many reactive species and charged particles when brought into contact with plant extracts. The major constituents involve reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species and plasma ultra-violets. These species can be used to synthesize biologically important nanoparticles. The current study addressed the effect of the green method-based preparation approach on the volumetric analysis of Zn nanoparticles. Under different operating conditions, the traditional thermal method and the microwave method as well as the plasma generation in dielectric barrier discharge reactor were adopted as a preparation approach in this study. The results generally show that the type of method used plays an important rol

This research aim to measure the critical success factors for total quality management applications, in order to know the key and important role played by these factors at applying the total quality management through a comparative study conducted in a number of a private colleges.
The research problem posed a set of questions, the most important ones are: Are the colleges (sample of research) aware of the critical success factors at applying the total quality management? What is the availability of the critical success factors at the work of the colleges (sample of research)?
What are the critical success factors in the work of the researc

Show MoreThis study investigates the implementation of Taguchi design in the estimation of minimum corrosion rate of mild-steel in cooling tower that uses saline solution of different concentration. The experiments were set on the basis of Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array. The runs were carried out under different condition such as inlet concentration of saline solution, temperature, and flowrate. The Signal-to- Noise ratio and ANOVA analysis were used to define the impact of cooling tower working conditions on the corrosion rate. A regression had been modelled and optimized to identify the optimum level for the working parameters that had been founded to be 13%NaCl, 35ᴼC, and 1 l/min. Also a confirmation run to establish the p

Show MoreExperimental investigation for small horizontal portable wind turbine (SHPWT) of NACA-44, BP-44, and NACA-63, BP-63 profiles under laboratory conditions at different wind velocity range of (3.7-5.8 m/s) achieved in present work. Experimental data tabulated for 2, 3, 4, and 6- bladed rotor of both profiles within range of blade pitch angles . A mathematical model formulated and computer Code for MATLAB software developed. The least-squares regression is used to fit experimental data. As the majority of previous works have been presented for large scale wind turbines, the aims were to present the performance of (SHPWT) and also to make a comparisons between both profiles to conclude which is the best performance. The overall efficiency and el

Diminishing the exhausted emissions without doing any significant changes in their mechanical configuration is a challenging subject. Thus, adding hydrogen to the traditional fuel would be the best practical choice to ameliorate diesel engines performance and reduce emissions. The air hydrogen mixer is an essential part of converting the diesel engine to work under dual fuel mode (hydrogen-diesel) without any engine modification. In this study, the Air-hydrogen mixer is developed to get a homogenous mixture for hydrogen with air and a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio according to the speed of the engine. The mixer depends on the balance between th

The current research aims at extracting the standard characteristics of the emotional balance of the university students according to the response theory. This was accomplished by following accredited scientific steps, to achieve this goal, the researcher followed scientific steps in the procedures of the analysis of the scale. She translated the scale from English to Arabic and then made a reverse translation. it was presented to a committee of experts in English to ensure and verify the validity of the paragraphs logically and prove the face validity of the scale, which consists of (30) paragraphs, it was presented to (6) experts who are specialists in the educational and psychological sciences and in the light of their observations ha
... Show MoreLED is an ultra-lightweight block cipher that is mainly used in devices with limited resources. Currently, the software and hardware structure of this cipher utilize a complex logic operation to generate a sequence of random numbers called round constant and this causes the algorithm to slow down and record low throughput. To improve the speed and throughput of the original algorithm, the Fast Lightweight Encryption Device (FLED) has been proposed in this paper. The key size of the currently existing LED algorithm is in 64-bit & 128-bit but this article focused mainly on the 64-bit key (block size=64-bit). In the proposed FLED design, complex operations have been replaced by LFSR left feedback technology to make the algorithm perform more e
