Extractionof biofilm produced by Escherichia coli that are isolated from animals infected with diarrhea and study its protective role
No full textThis study was conducted to detect the ability of E.coliisolated from diarrhea to produce biofilm and protection against diseases cause by these bacteria compared with whole cell sonicated antigen.One hundred two fecal samples (52 fecal samples from cows, calves and 50 fecal samples from sheep,goat) were collected from College of veterinary medicine-university of Baghdad, College of Agriculture-university of Baghdad, Dora zone and Abu-Ghraib zone. Samples were cultured on MacConkeyand Eosin Methylene Blue agar and after purification of cultured bacteria, biochemical tests, API 20 E System andRapIDTM ONE System kit were done. Results showed that 91 out of 102 fecal samples have the characteristics belong toE.coli,the ability of theseisolates to produce biofilm were detected and the results showed that 38 out of 49 E.coli isolates from fecal samples of cow produce biofilm (77.55%)and 39 out of 42 E.coli isolates from fecal samples of sheep produce biofilm (92.85%) with different thickness ranged between (0.2-2)mm, while 11 isolates from 49 fecal samples of cow and calves and 39 isolates from 42 fecal samples of sheep had not produce biofilm. The results showed that protein concentration of biofilm was 92 mg/ml for one isolate and 70 mg/ ml for the whole sonicated antigen of the bacteria that produce biofilm.Three types of bacterial antigens were prepared as follow; Whole cell sonicated antigen (WCA) of biofilm producer E.coli, biofilm extract antigen (biA) with protein concentration 3.5 mg/ml and biofilm extract antigen (biA) with protein concentration 14 mg/ml, then these antigens were injected in 50 healthy White BALB mice. Results showed that survival time of animals in the immunized group with biofilm antigen of high protein concentration (14 mg/ml) was longer (652.8 hrs) than animals immunized with whole sonicated antigen of protein concentration 3.5 mg/ml antigen (378 hrs ) and than the group with biofilm antigen of protein concentration 3.5 mg/ml (513.6 hrs) , heavy bacterial isolation were recorded in the internal organs of the immunized infected animals at (12-48) hours post infection, while moderate bacterial isolation at day 30 post infection.Histopathological examination showed large abscess which caused adhesion of liver with stomach and spleen with stomach and pancreas surround by dense cellular fibrous tissue, the result showed that all animals of control positive group,5 animals of group injected with(WCA) produce biofilm,3 animals of group injected with (biA) 3.5 mg/ml and 1 animal of group injected with (biA) 14 mg/ml were died during 12-48 hours post infection, acute suppurative reaction were seen in internal organs of animals died at 12-24 hours post infection, granulomatous lesions were seen in most internal organs of animals in group 2 , 3 and 4 at day 30 post challenge, while mild inflammatory reaction was recorded in most internal organs of group 4 at day 30 post challenge

Relation of insulin like growth factor and glycocylated hemoglobin at different gestational periods of pregnancy in diabetic pregnant women
No full textBackground: Diabetes mellitus complicating pregnancy is one of the most common antenatal complications that are associated with significant perinatal mortality and morbidity. Insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has been implicated with micro-vascular complications during pregnancy. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a reliable index, used to evaluate the glycemic control at the last 8 weeks. Aim: To find the relation between the level of insulin like growth factor and HbA1c at different gestational periods of pregnancy in diabetic pregnant women. Methods: The study was carried out on 190 pregnant women. They were 134 pregnant women with abnormal carbohydrate metabolism and 56 healthy pregnant women. Those of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism were also classified into two groups, those with gestational diabetes mellitus (70) and those with pregestational diabetes mellitus (64). IGF-1 and HbA1c levels were measured in the studied pregnant women at the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Results: IGF-1 concentrations was found to be higher in patients with GDM when compared with those of PGDM and the control groups, in both 2nd and 3rd trimesters with a significant (P <0.001) difference among subgroups. HbA1c concentrations were found to be significantly (P< 0.001) higher in pregnant women with GDM and PGDM than in the control group. There was a significant (r=0.27, P<0.001) weak correlation between IGF-1 and HbA1c in both 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Conclusion: Both, IGF-1 and HbA1c levels elevate in pregnant women with GDM and PGDM, such rise is manifested by a weak positive correlation between the concentrations of the two parameters. Recommendation: It is useful to study the role of IGF-1 therapy in pregnant with diabetes mellitus especially those with vasculopathy
Middle Ear Effusion in Intensive Care Unit Patients at Al-Sadder Teaching Hospital in Al-Najaf City-Iraq (A Prospective Randomized Comparative Clinical Study)
No full textBackground: Middle ear effusion (MEE) is one of the commonest chronic otological conditions in childhood but has a lower incidence in normal adult. By definition it is an accumulation of non-purulent fluid in the middle ear. It is an inflammatory effusion behind an intact tympanic membrane that is not associated with acute otological symptoms or systemic signs. Aim: To explore factors related to the occurrence of MEE in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients with prolonged oral endotracheal intubation in Al-Najaf city/Iraq. Methods: Forty patients (80 ears) with a prolonged endotracheal intubation (> 5 days) in the ICU were studied. Information of the age, gender, level of consciousness, duration of endotracheal intubation and placement of nasogastric tube were retrospectively collected from history and patient`s data. All patients were subjected to otoscopic examination, tympanometry studies and acoustic reflectometry for evidences of MEE. Results: Out of the 80 ears examined, 46 ears had MEE (57.5%), 22 ears were normal (27.5%), and 12 ears (15%) had negative pressure in the middle ear by tympanometry. Patients who were intubated for more than 11 days and those with conscious disturbance had a significantly high incidence of MEE. No episodes of acute otitis media or systemic infection were encountered. Conclusion: Prolonged endotracheal intubation (more than 11 days), age advancing and conscious disturbance contribute significantly to the occurrence of MEE in adult ICU patients. Recommendation: Middle ear pathology like MEE in the ICU patients with prolonged intubation should not be underestimate
العطاء والإستعطاء في الأدب الشيعي
No full textلكلّ شاعر دوافع نفسيّة ينشد من أجلها شعره بينحينوآخر، فمن تلك الدوافع الاستعطاء وهو طلب العطاء الذي اشتهر بين محترفي الشعر بالتكسّب خاصة أولئك الذين ارتادوا بلاط الملوك أو الخلفاء فجعلوه سوقيّاً يتجرون به وبالمقابل أصبح العطاء من بيت المال وسيلة لمطامع الملوك ودعاياتهم المزيّفة. أما الاستعطاء في أدب الموالين لأهل البيت (G) فإنه تحوّل إلى مفاهيم سامية وفريدة فصارت طلباتهم شرفاً لهم، وتمثّلت في الاستجارة بمضاجعهم والاستشفاع بهم واستدعاء الخير والرحمة منهم ونشر فضائلهم بالحقّ وقد بلغ الاستعطاء ذروتها في تحكيم المودّة وطلب الشهادة والإيثار بالنفس. وبالمقابل أصبح العطاء بياناً للحقّ وتكريماً للنفس وحفظاً للعرض وإغاثة للملهوف ودفاعاً عن المظلوم من دون اغترار وإعجاب وسياسة مزوّرة. وعليه فإنّ هذا البحث يتناول موضوع الاستعطاء أوّلاً على مفهومه الداني والغالي ويمثّل له أمثلة على كلا المستويين ثم يطرق العطاء على مفهومه المادي والمعنوي وعلى المنهج النبويّ وسيرة أهل البيت (G) ويركّز عليه ويذكر أسبابه وضروبه معتمداً على شواهد من الآيات والروايات المأثورة وبعض الأبيات الشعرية

A Study of response to Burkholdaria cepacia
No full textThe current study was aimed to evaluate immune response induced by Burkholdaria cepacia antigens to determine whether these antigens could be a useful immunogen for vaccine development against this bacteria. Four successive doses of OMP and killed antigen extracted from B. cepacia isolated from sputum of patients with lower respiratory tract infections were injected into rabbits using multisite injection protocol. We found that these antigens stimulate specific mucosal and systemic humoral immunoglobulin titers as well as to the significant increased (p≤ 0.05) in the total protein concentrations at serum and mucosal respiratory secretions in addition to the significant increase in the concentrations of IgG, IgA, IgM at rabbits sera. INF-γ concentrations were significant increased at serum and mucosal levels with stimulation of migration inhibition index of leukocytes. These immunogen induced positive skin test tuberculin type delayed hypersensitivity. Thus B. cepacia antigens were B and T cells dependent type, and could be a useful immunogen for vaccine development

No full textThe linguistic casting, which is part of the theory of text science is one of the modern topics that did not take its share in linguistic studies, especially in the old Arabic prose, so we chose the newspaper of Imam Zine El Abidine to be an area of our research, as one of the finest literary heritage based on the Arab dialogue The slave and his Lord, if we know that dialogue is the ultimate model of speech, because the communication between the creature and creator on the one hand, or between two people or more on the other .Hence, the paper becomes an example of the study, and then a good basis for the provision of linguistic language and its application, describing language as the most important means of human activity based on communication between the speaker and speaker in time and space, these elements are available in the newspaper.The study required that the research be built on three demands preceded by the preamble. In the preface, we learned the language and the grammar and then showed its importance in the construction of the literary text, and we studied in the first requirement: the referral and it represents a manifestation of linguistic casting, because it has the ability to merge grammatical units, The second requirement: We studied the repetition because it is considered in the linguistic studies of the means of casting the script on the one hand and to the aspiration of the creator of the text on the other. In the third demand: We studied the contrast as a typical course of context and a change in the literary text, and concluded research results and proven sources.

AbstractThe strategic response process is crucial because of the dynamism and complexity associated with it. Therefore, the strategic response process is an administrative approach in which the organization aims to achieve its strategic objectives by responding to changes in the internal and external environment and confronting them through the capacities and resources of the organization, One of the most important aspects of administrative corruption, which is the functional laziness, the researcher addressed the adoption of criteria for the strategic response to address the functional laxity in the Office of the province of Najaf. The researcher identified the problem During the initial study, a preliminary questionnaire was distributed to academics and experts to determine the most important variables of functional laziness. The experts focused on a range of dimensions of functional laziness (indifference, interruption, vandalism, low effort, laxity, negativity). Two strategic variables included the first strategic response (strategic objectives, technology, processes, procedures). Second, functional laziness included the dimensions that the experts focused on in the initial questionnaire. The final framework proposed in this research It is the product of a number of academic and applied views and the review of many researches, studies and literature with a solid foundation in this field. The strategic response variable included (4) main dimensions including (19) items, while the second variable functional laxation included (6) main dimensions included (32) items. After the researcher distributed 110 final questionnaires to the staff working in the Najaf governorate office, the researcher reached a number of conclusions related to the strategic response. Perhaps the most important is (it is clear from the results of the statistical analysis there is a clear acceptance by the members of the research sample about the goals Strategy through the ability of the Office of the province to achieve those goals in a clear and specific by taking into account the economic changes that are consistent with the directions of the Office of the province and its strategic objectives), as well as a number of conclusions that relate to functional laxity and perhaps the most important ( The results of the search that the Office of the province works to reduce the cases of indifference by the personnel working and reduce the laziness of their career and all behaviors that would confuse the work and attention to activities that strengthen the work of the Office of the province), as well as a number of conclusions that relate to functional laziness and perhaps the most important is ( Between the results of the search that the Office of the province works to reduce the cases of indifference by the personnel working and reduce the laziness of their career and all behaviors that would confuse the work and attention to activities that strengthen the work of the Office of the province)
