Association of TNFRII polymorphisms and IL-37 in rheumatoid arthritis Iraqi patients
Get PDFFifty RA patients and 50 healthy individuals have been participated in this study. 196 M/R polymorphism of TNFRII gene determined by PCR-RFLP, IL-37 level was measured by ELISA technique, also RF, ACCP, CRP measured by ELISA technique. Our study shows an increase in IL-37 levels in patients was suffered from rheumatoid arthritis relative to control group. (M=101.31+10.41) That shows major differences between patients and controls (p<0.01) and increasing level of IL-37 correlate significantly with increasing level of CRP (p<0.05). The frequencies of TNFRII gene polymorphism were significantly correlate with the IL-37 level (p<0.01) in RA patients compared with control group. In conclusion, IL-37 increased in RA patients associated with disease development, also significantly associated with TNFRII polymorphism
Design and implementation of irrigation prototype system based GSM
Get PDFSmart farming is one of the keys for future agriculture because it is a management to use modern technology for increasing the quality and quantity of the agriculture. And because of the planet quality depend on the amount of water and the characteristics of soil, it is necessary to study the soil using the soil moisture sensor to investigate whether the soil is dry or wet, also to consider the challenges that could be faced in agricultural environment by maintain the soil and the planets irrigated without extra usage of water. In this paper, a prototype irrigation system uses Arduino Uno microcontroller which is programmed in C++ language to sense the degree of moisture by using soil moisture sensor. According to moisture sensor readings, when the moisture sensor above 1000, Arduino triggers to supply the water by using 5V mini water pump and stop when the soil moisture sensor reading reaches below 400. GSM technology enables the user to be notified in any changes happening in agricultural area by sending SMS (Short Message Service). Whenever the soil become wet or dry and the mini water pump switched on or off, a message delivered to user’s cellular phone indicating the condition of the soil and the action of water pump. In that capacity, this prototype will reduce the time for the user by monitoring remotely without going to his land, and also to reduce the usage of water by allow the water pump to flow the water for limited time until the moisture degree raise again
Estimate the level of testosterone hormone using I-chroma technique in males treated with Royal jelly and honeybee
Get PDFThe experiment based on 10 matured men samples collected randomly from Baghdad Providence. The 10 samples divided into two groups, serum testosterone level of all 10 patient had been done using Ichroma technique. the treated group administered 2.5ml of honeybee with 350mg of royal jelly daily for (15day) while the second group stay as control group. After 15 days blood samples had been collected and serum separated to made another testosterone test for both groups using same i-chroma technique. The main Aim of this study is estimating the effect of royal jelly and honeybee as food on the testosterone hormone level in men. The result show that there was significant increase in the testosterone levels in treated group in comparison with control group. after experiment the result show significant increase in testosterone levels (in samples number 1,2,3,4 and 5) as the following (23.2 n.mo/L, 16.6 n.mo/L, 17.7 n.mo/L, 10.1 n.mo/L and 29.7 n.mo/L respectively. The study concluded that, short term treatment of royal jelly in combined with honey bee increasing the level of blood testosterone hormone in men in different ages significantly. The study either concluded that we can used honeybee and royal jelly as natural treatment of low testosterone level in men
New Perceptions in the Cardioprotective Effect of Metformin Against Isoproterenol Induced Cardiotoxicity in Male Rats
Get PDFBackground and objective: Recent clinical trials have shown that metformin improves clinical cardiovascular outcome in type-2 diabetic patients independently of its insulin-sensitizing effect. This study was sought to evaluate the potential cardioprotective effects of metformin on isoproterenol-induced cardiac stress in diabetic and non-diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Diabetes was induced by using streptozocin (60 mg/kg, i.p.) while non-diabetic rats received saline. Rats in both experimental groups were then randomized to receive different doses of metformin (75, 150, 300 mg/kg i.p.) for 6 weeks. Cardiac stress was induced by isoproterenol (150 mg/kg i.p.) for two successive days. Specific biomarkers of tissue injury, namely brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), cardiac troponin-T (cTn-T), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), tissue necrotic factor-α (TNF), were assessed. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Newman Keuls post hoc test Results: The results showed that metformin significantly limited isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats. Metformin significantly decreased the elevated serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), cardiac troponin t (cTn-T) which was induced by isoproterenol. It also limited expression of tissue necrotic factor-α (TNF-α) following the cardiac injury in diabetic and non-diabetic rats

Facial Expression Recognition Using Fast Walidlet Hybrid Transform
Get PDFأصبح التحليل التلقائي لتعبيرات الوجه مجال اهتمام شديد في رؤية الكمبيوتر ومجتمعات أبحاث الذكاء الاصطناعي. في هذه الورقة ، تم تقديم نهج للتعرف على تعبيرات الوجه لتعبيرات النماذج الأولية الستة (أي الفرح والمفاجأة والغضب والحزن والخوف والاشمئزاز) استنادًا إلى نظام تشفير حركة الوجه (FACS). يحاول النهج الاستفادة من مجموعة من المحولات المختلفة (Walid Let hybrid transform) ؛ أنها تتكون من تحويل فورييه السريع ؛ تحويل الرادون وتحويل متعدد الموجات لاستخراج الميزة. تم استخدام خريطة ميزات التنظيم الذاتي لـ Korhonen (SOFM) لتجميع الأنماط بناءً على الميزات التي تم الحصول عليها من التحويل الهجين أعلاه. تظهر النتيجة أن الطريقة لديها دقة جيدة جدًا في التعرف على تعبيرات الوجه. ومع ذلك ، فإن الطريقة المقترحة لها العديد من الميزات الواعدة التي تجعلها ممتعة. يوفر هذا النهج طريقة جديدة لاستخراج الميزات التي تتغلب فيها على مشكلة الإضاءة ، الوجوه التي تختلف من فرد إلى آخر بشكل كبير بسبب اختلاف العمر والعرق والجنس ومستحضرات التجميل ، كما أنها لا تتطلب تطبيعًا دقيقًا ومعادلة الإضاءة. تم تحقيق متوسط دقة تجميع بنسبة 94.8٪ لستة تعبيرات أساسية ، حيث تم استخدام قواعد بيانات مختلفة لاختبار الطريقة.Automatic analysis of facial expressions is rapidly becoming an area of intense interest in computer vision and artificial intelligence research communities. In this paper an approach is presented for facial expression recognition of the six basic prototype expressions (i.e., joy, surprise, anger, sadness, fear, and disgust) based on Facial Action Coding System (FACS). The approach is attempting to utilize a combination of different transforms (Walid let hybrid transform); they consist of Fast Fourier Transform; Radon transform and Multiwavelet transform for the feature extraction. Korhonen Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) then used for patterns clustering based on the features obtained from the hybrid transform above. The result shows that the method has very good accuracy in facial expression recognition. However, the proposed method has many promising features that make it interesting. The approach provides a new method of feature extraction in which overcome the problem of the illumination, faces that varies from one individual to another quite considerably due to different age, ethnicity, gender and cosmetic also it does not require a precise normalization and lighting equalization. An average clustering accuracy of 94.8% is achieved for six basic expressions, where different databases had been used for the test of the method
