خلفية البحث: مرض السكري هو عامل خطر لأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية وتصلب الشرايين وسبب مهم للوفاة. يرتبط خلل الدهون في الدم بشكل شائع بمرض السكري من النوع الثاني ويعتبر مؤشر تصلب الشرايين في البلازما علامة قوية للتنبؤ بخطر الإصابة بتصلب الشرايين وأمراض القلب التاجية. الهدف من البحث: دراسة ارتباط المؤشرات الدهنية لتصلب الشرايين لدى المرضى العراقيين المصابين بالسكري من النوع الثاني ولديهم أمراض قلبية وعائية. المرضى وطرق العمل: أجريت هذه الدراسة السريرية في مستشفى بغداد التعليمي/ مدينة الطب - بغداد في الفترة من تشرين الأول 2022 ولغاية شباط 2023. تم مشاركة 60 مريضًا مصاباً بالسكري من النوع الثاني في هذه الدراسة. ثلاثون مريضا منهم كانوا يعانون من أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية و 30 غير مصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية. تراوحت أعمارهم بين 40-55 سنة. تم اختيار 30 فردًا سليما كمجموعة سيطرة. النتائج: كان هناك ارتفاع كبير في فحوصات نسبة السكر والدهون في الدم لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية مقارنة مع أولئك الذين لا يعانون من أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية ومجموعة السيطرة. أظهرت النتائج الحالية مستويات مرتفعة من نسب الدهون لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية. كشفت النتائج أيضًا عن مستويات عالية من البروتين الدهني غير عالي الكثافة لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية (241.8 ± 12.24 ملغم/ ديسيلتر) مقابل (150.1 ± 7.12 و 68.9 ± 5.1 ملغم/ ديسيلتر) لأولئك الذين لا يعانون من أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية ومجموعة السيطرة على التوالي. كان مؤشر تصلب الشرايين للبلازما لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية مقارنة بمجاميع مرضى السكري والأصحاء (0.8 ± 0.09) مقابل (0.7 ± 0.03 و 0.2 ± 0.08) على التوالي. كان هناك ارتباط معنوي موجب بين مؤشر تصلب الشرايين للبلازما والعوامل الجسمية، صورة السكر والدهون في الدم مع نسبها لدى مرضى السكري مع وبدون أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية. الاستنتاجات: تؤكد نتائج هذه الدراسة أن مؤشرات الدهون هي مؤشرات خطر لضبط نسبة السكر في الدم بقيمة تنبؤية أعلى من العوامل التقليدية. أيضًا، ممكن اعتبار البروتين الدهني غير عالي الكثافة ومؤشر تصلب الشرايين في البلازما من العوامل الهامة للسيطرة على نسبة السكر في الدم.
The [2-hydroxy -1,2-diphynel-ethanone oxime] was reacted with 1,2- dichloroethan to give the new ligand [H2L].this ligand was reacted with some metal ions (Co(II),Ni(II),Cu(II),Zn(II) and Cd(II) in methanol as a solvent to give a series of new (1:1)complexes of the general formula [ M(HL)]Cl ,( where : M= Co(II),Ni(II),Cu(II),Zn(II) and Cd(II)) are isolated All compounds have been characterized by spectroscopic methods [ I.R , U.V -Vis ] atomic absorption . Chloride content along with conductivity measurements. From the above data the proposed molecular structure for (Co, Cu, Ni, Zn and Cd) complexes adopting a tetrahedral structure.
A new Schiff base ligand Bis-1,4-di[N-3-(2-hydroxy-1-amino)- acetophenonylidene] benzylidene [L] and its complexes with (Mn(II) ,Co(II) ,Ni(II and Cu(II)) were synthesized . The ligand was prepared in two steps. In the first step a solution of (terphthalaldehyde) in methanol reacts under reflux with (p-aminoacetophenone) to give an intermediate compound [1-[3-({4-[(3-Acetyl-phenylimino)-methyl]-benzylidene}-amino)-phenyl]- ethanone which reacts in the second step with (2-Amino-phenol) giving the mentioned ligand. The complexes were synthesized by addition the corresponding metal salt solution to the solution of the ligand in methanol under reflux in (1:1) metal to ligand ratio. On the basis of, molar conductance, I.R., UV-Vis, HPLC, chlorid

Aggressive periodontitis is rare which in most cases manifest themselves clinically during youth. It characterized by rapid rate of disease progression .Pro-inflammatory chemokines organized inflammatory responses. Granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 is involved in neutrophil gathering and movement. The purpose of the study is to detect serum of Granulocyte Chemotactic Protein 2 and correlate to periodontal condition in patients with chronic periodontitis, Aggressive periodontitis and Healthy Control subjects and measurement the count of neutrophils for the studied groups.

... Show MoreCandida Berkh. (1923) occurs naturally in the body. But it becomes opportunistic fungi, meaning that it infects humans when there is any weakening of the immune system, such as exposure to chemotherapy, diabetes, or organ transplantation. Most species of Candida grow at a temperature between 20-40 °C and have a pH of 3-8. Human pathogens of Candida species include C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. lusitaniae, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis and C. utili. C. albicans has many virulence factors that facilitate injury process. Virulence factors are considered as a measure of pathogenicity, and it is in the form of fungal toxins, enzymes, or cell structures that facilitate infection, as well as pathogen resistance in different conditions. This study
