Potential Nephroprotectice Effect of Curcumin against Gentamicin Induced Nephrotoxicity : An Experimental Study In Rats
Get PDFBackground: Nephrotoxicity is a serious & common side effect of aminoglycoside and is induced by generation of reactive oxygen species. Emerging evidence reveals that curcumin possesses antioxidant activity, therefore, this research was undertaken to evaluate the potential protective effects of curcumin in amiloration of nephrotoxicity induced by gentamicin in male rats.Materials and Methods:Eighteen male Spraque-Dawley rats were included in this study. They were divided randomly into three equal groups (six rats each). Groups I (Control) received only normal saline i.p, Groups II (GN) received gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day), Group III (GN+CUR) received a combination treatment gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day, i.p) & curcumin (200 mg/kg/day p.o). The duration of treatment was eight days and at the end of the study, animals were sacrificed and the blood sample was collected for assessment of renal function, blood urea & serum creatinine. Both kidneys were removed and prepared for a histopathology examination.Results: blood urea and creatinine were significantly higher (P < .05) in gentamycin treated group (group II) as compared to the control group (group I). However, the levels of these parameters in group 3 (co-treatment of gentamicin and curcumin) were significantly lower than those in group 2 (P < .05). Further, the histological score of renal damage was higher in the gentamicin group than in the control group. Combination treatment of curcumin and gentamicin (groupIII) significantly attenuated the histopathological damage.Conclusion: Curcumin attenuated gentamicin-induced renal injury in rats’ models

تنازع الاختصاص التشريعي في عقود التجارة الدولية وفقا للقانون العراقي والنظم القانونية الأخرى دراسة تحليلية مقارنة
No full textThis paper discusses the contentious jurisdiction in the contracts of the international trade according to the Iraqi Law and other laws. This study is a comparative analytical one to determine the procedure of solving the struggle between the laws of countries which connected by certain connection in international trade contracts that make each law of each country tries to be dominant and applied in the case of any problem concerning these international trade contracts. Each country tries to dominate its juristic devices on the trade contracts by using the rules and in its national law which depend on the explicit and implicit restrictions, instructions and regulations, these rules and regulations determine which rules are original and which ones are influenced by a foreign jurisdictions that gives the chance to some trade contractors to escape from the legal control of that country. Sometimes the application of such influenced rules make the contractors lose a lot, but if they follow the laws of their country, they will never lose anything, the rules which are selected by all the contracted countries will make no loss or defeat to any member of the contractors. According to the supporting base of contracts in the act (25) in the civil Iraqi Law, the contractors are free to choose the appropriate law of the international Trade La. This selection may be explicit or implicit that court can conclude clear choice of the law; the court will apply the law of that country in which the contract is conducted. The choice of an act depends on the shared rules of the law, for example the act(19) of the Egyptian law is the same as act (25) of the Iraqi civil law, other examples are that the treaty of Rome is applicable according to the laws of France and England and this treaty gives the ability to choose any rules these countries in the international trade , whether the selection is explicit or implicit, if there is no clear selection, the court will apply the country's nearest law of in the international trade contract, for instance, the contentious juristic rules in USA are free to choose but they should be under the regulations of that treaty as Hague treaty in 1955 and Rome treaty in 1980. Because of the recent development o the international trade such as the electronic contracts and internet communications, determining which rules or rules are applicable in the international trade is so difficult, so they remain as they are, following the traditional rules with certain difficulties such as determining the place in which the contract is conducted in order to specify the law of the country, so we will need a supporting evidence depends on the Iraqi and Egyptian jurisdictions according to Hague and Rome treatie

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATOMIZING SPRAY FROM DIESEL INJECTORS USING ALGAE AND BIODIESEL FUELS
No full textFuel atomization in diesel compression ignition engines is significantly affected on the performance, evaporation, self-ignition, and emissions of the engine. Therefore, the quality of the spray atomization has to study at first. Algae-Derived renewable diesel fuel in a single hole nozzle atomizer has been chosen as an alternative fuel for diesel. The differences in physical properties of algae-derived renewable diesel, biodiesels (from palm and cooked oil) and pure diesel are effected on both spray characteristics and the internal nozzle flow. Numerical simulations are presented in this study using Eulerian-Eulerian technique to model the spray- gas interaction. The spray moments model has been used to characterize the spray parameters. First, the model is validated against the spray tip penetration of diesel spray characteristics obtained from the experimental data conducted in house-code using constant volume spray chamber and the results show a good agreement. Then, comparisons were made among the selected fuels. The numerical simulations show that the algae-derived renewable diesel is very similar to pure diesel and can be used as an alternative fuel.http://dx.doi.org/10.30572/2018/kje/100110
TREATMENT FLY ASH OF AL MUSAYYIB THERMAL POWER PLANT TO BE USED AS A POZZOLANIC MATERIAL
No full textCrude oil ash is the residue that is produced during oil combustion for instance fly ash, bottom ash or boiler slag which was primarily produced from the combustion of coal. With growth in oil burning power station, huge amount of fly ash considered as organic materials which are normally disposed in an on-site disposal system without any commercialization purpose. Previous researchers have studied the extraction of silica from agricultural wastes such as palm ash and rice husk ash (RHA) and FA (fly ash) by using leaching treatment method. In this study, the weaker acid, citric acid solution was used to replace the strong acid in leaching treatment to process. Result showed that the loss on ignition materials can be decrease to 12%. Meanwhile the silica can be extracted up to 54.4% from FA using citric acid leaching treatment under the optimum reaction time of 60 minutes with solution temperature of 60°C and concentration of citric acid 5% receded by gradual combustion at 900°C for 3 hours.http://dx.doi.org/10.30572/2018/kje/100306

Effect of addition of different levels of commercial inoculant of lactic acid bacteria and source of soluble sugars on sensory characteristics and chemical composition of wheat straw silages
No full textThis study was conducted in Nutrition laboratory to investigate the effect of addition of different levels of Ecosyl, a commercial inoculant of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), 0, 1×105 or 1×106 cfu/g fresh matter (FM) and four levels of debis (date honey) as a source of soluble sugars (WSC), 4, 6, 8 or 10% on dry matter (DM) basis on sensory characteristics and chemical composition of wheat straw silages (WSS). Silage samples of 400-500 g were made with 4 replicates after chopping wheat into 1-1.5 cm. Urea was added at rate of 1% to all samples to increase nitrogen (N) content of straw in all silages. Treated samples were packed in nylon bags and ensiled for 60 days. Results revealed that color of WSS samples were ranged between light and dark yellow to greenish yellow. Most inoculated samples were characterized with accepted odor. Results also showed significant (P<0.01) reduction in fibrous components, particularly, neutral detergent fiber from 43.73 to 39.40 and 37.79%, and cellulose from 29.32 to 24.60 and 22.05% were observed in samples of WSS prepared without and with addition of LAB inoculant at level of 1×105 and 1×106 cfu/g FM respectively. This reduction was correlated with significant (P<0.01) increase in hemicellulose and crude protein (CP) contents. Silages prepared with WSC at level of 10% had lower (P<0.01) contents of acid detergent fiber and cellulose, 37.48 and 23.33% respectively. However, increasing level of debis decreased contents of CP (P<0.01) and ether extract (P<0.05)
