Computer-aided analysis for quantitative assessment of FoxA1 to estimate pancreatic subpopulation, oxidative phosphorylation, & morphogenesis in late pregnancy of mice
No full text In pregnancy Peripheral, insulin resistance generating environment requires higher production of insulin, so the islets of langerhans undergo major structural & functional changes. The present study was designed to analyse and compare the immunohistochemical staining of FoxA1 transcription factor in islets of langerhans (Beta-cells mainly) and capillary vessels of islets in non-pregnant & pregnant state, in order to contribute a knowledge about a possible alteration throughout the life span directed to better understanding of the pancreatic metabolism, & findings can be applied to cell-based therapies to treat diabetics. The pancreas specimens taken from sixty mature female mice, thirty for each group. They divided in to Group (A): Served as control (non-pregnant), Group (B): Pregnant group (at day 17th, 18th, 19th of pregnancy). Tissues processed for paraffin block, sections stained with: Haematoxylin and eosin stain (to demonstrate the general histological and morphological changes that took place). Immunohistochemical stain (to compare the positivity of immunostaining of FoxA1 in beta cells & capillary vessels of islets in non-pregnant & pregnant groups). Two digital image analysing softwares used in this study: Image Scope program (for quantification of immunostaining of FoxA1 in beta cells & capillary vessel, nucleus & cytoplasm at the same time). ImageJ program (for quantification of immunostaining of FoxA1 in beta cells & capillary vessel, nucleus & cytoplasm in a separate manner). Result of the histological examination of the present study demonstrated that the increment in number and size of islets of langerhans were the main features observed during pregnancy and this increment caused by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the islets. Also showed the number and size of blood vessels increase in pregnant groups. Result of the immunohistochemical examination of this study showed increase of immunostaining positivity of FoxA1 in beta cells & capillary vessels of islets of langerhans in pregnant group than non-pregnant. This study conclude that the FoxA1 is affected by insulin-resistant state of pregnancy, this open the question about the role of this factor in the origin of newly formed islets of langerhans (mainly beta cells) in pregnant group

وصف الناقة في شعر شعراء الطبقة الأولى الإسلامية
No full textلم تغب الناقة عن القصيدة العربية بوصفها وسيلة لتسلية الهموم ، وأداة يفر الشاعر بواسطتها من حاضره المؤلم عبر رحلة قد تطول أو تقصر ، هذه الرحلة التي تعد مفصلا فنيا مهما من مفاصل القصيدة العربية التي حافظت على شكلها التقليدي الموروث على الرغم من التطور الذي طرأ على الحياة العربية .حاول البحث الوقوف عند وصف الناقة في مقطع الرحلة في شعر شعراء الطبقة الأولى الإسلامية الذين لم يغفلوا الناقة ، فكانت حاضرة في أشعارهم ، وصفوها فاختلفوا في وصفهم لها في مواطن ، واتفقوا فيه في مواطن أخرى ، فقد عُني جرير بالوصف المعنوي لناقته مغلبا له على الوصف الحسي ، فوقف عند نسبها كثيرا ، في حين تراجع هذا المعنى عند الفرزدق الذي جنح إلى المحسوسات ، فهو يصف ناقته مكتفيا بصفاتها الجسدية ، غير انه كان أكثر قربا منها، فيحدثها كأنها تعقل ما يقول ، في حين نزع الأخطل إلى الموروث ، فاستقى منه الصورة فضلا عن العبارة والمفردة التي استعملها السلف من قبل ، أما الراعي النميري فكان كثير الوصف لناقته فضلا عن اتساع وصفه ليشمل المشاهد الثانوية التي تحيط بالناقة ، كوصف الصحراء والرياح والأمطار وغير ذلك من عناصر البيئ

Diagnostic and Epidemiologic Study of Human Brucellosis at Al-Najaf province
Get PDFAbstractBackground: Maltese fever is one of the dangerous occupational diseases for dairy producers, processor and staff cattle slaughterhouse, veterinarians and laboratory personnel. Infection accompanies a wide range of clinical symptoms that require the use of effective diagnostic tests. The choice of the epidemiological diagnosis in the region and the decision of the infection depends on the size of the infestation., Clinical information provided by the patient must include the geographical area, work type Was traveling to rural areas or affected countries this disease Is a family member with the disease, treatment he takes the patient what is positive and negative impact on the patient. Germ Malta fever tend to tissue rich in blood vesselsAims of study: The study aims to evaluate the epidemiological aspects of the population according to gender and age. And the study of the property and the sensitivity of the two tests, the first is the use of a conventional test (Rose Bengal), and modern molecular technique (RT- PCR) and compare the two results.Methodology: Type of study is a diagnostic study includes 41 blood samples from patients with suspected Malta fever, from both gender diagnosed questionable, the ages were between 14-45 years. Patients were attending to the province of Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf from rural area surrounding the governorate and the center of the province, and attend private clinic from January to December 2015 in order to evaluate serum infection of Malta carried out using serological testing and technology of molecular test methodResults: A total of 41 patients with suspected brucellosis had been included in this study. The most frequent age group was more than 35(29.3%) years. The percentage to an urban cases were (58.54%) and the percent of rural area. Brucellosis, variations during one year shows positive predictive value=50%, Negative predictive value=95.2% and Accuracy =73.1 % from diagnosis of serological compared to Real time PCRproportion of 41 patients. High sensitivity (90.9 %) has detection of Brucellosis by Real Time PCR, and the Specificity=66.7%.Conclusion: Estimated incidence in most regions injury (rural areas) may be less compared to the younger population. Medical safety is very important in the laboratory. Organization of the CDC classifies Iraq from high incidence areas with Malta fever.Recommendations: Avoid unpasteurized hand milk products and fresh milk which is not boiled. Clinical laboratories must be under the terms of health safety when isolate the pathogen. And early treatment of the disease at the onset of clinical signs of the disease eliminates protect against chronic doubled.____________________________________________________________
