Objectives: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of CVD that begins as stable angina pectoris (SAP) followed by unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and finally critical stage myocardial infarction (MI), which results from rupture of atherosclerotic plaque and a thrombus that blocks the coronary artery supplying the heart, resulted from the death of part of the heart muscle. The underlying cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) is atherosclerosis, which results from the formation of layers of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries. Early diagnosis of MI has an important role in assisting clinicians in prompt planning for its treatment and thus reducing the number of its deaths. Methods: The present study included 20 UAP patients and 20 healthy individuals (controls). In all the cases and controls, levels of cardiac and inflammatory biomarkers were measured by special kits from Hotgen Company via phosphorous technology using UPT-3A converting phosphor immunological analyzer. Results: The levels of both cardiac and inflammatory biomarkers were significantly increased in UAP cases as compared to controls. Also, there was significant positive correlation between cardiac and inflammatory biomarkers in UAP cases. Conclusions: The positive correlation between most cardiac and inflammatory biomarkers in UAP indicates that inflammation occurs in UAP. Hence it is concluded that inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, Hs-CRP and PCT) and cardiac biomarker (cTnI, H-FABP, CK-MB, NT-proBNP and D-dimer) can be markers of UAP and can be used for diagnostic purposes in patients.

Objectives: Due to the large number of problems with the readiness of some mineral elements in most of the lands of Iraq due to several factors that limit their movement and readiness, which has a negative impact on the plants, therefore, researchers have turned to using modern methods and methods for the purpose of adopting them in supplying plants with the necessary nutrients for continued growth and achieving productivity. One of these methods is the foliar feeding method, in order to study the effect of foliar spraying of the elements magnesium and manganese on the growth and productivity of the bean plant (Luz De Otono). Methods: A field experiment was implemented during the 2022-2023 season in Al-Muthanna Governorate - Al-Majd district, which is (7 km) north of the governorate, where magnesium was sprayed at four concentrations: 0, 40, 80 and 120 mg Mg liter-1) of manganese in three concentrations (0, 20 and 40 mg Mn liter-1). The experiment was applied using a completely randomized block design (R.C.B.D). Results: The results showed that spraying magnesium at the highest concentration of 120 mg Mg l-1 led to a significant effect on plant height and biological yield, with rates of increases reaching 5.95% and 16.84%, respectively, compared to the comparison treatment, while spraying at a concentration of 80 mg Mg l-1 had a significant effect and gave the highest rate of height. Pod and total seed yield, with averages of 20.37 cm and 2.53 tons ha-1 compared to the comparison treatment, which gave the lowest averages of 19.36 cm and 1.97 tons ha-1 for the traits respectively It was noted from the results that increasing the manganese concentration to 40 mg Mn liter-1 led to a significant increase in plant height, biological yield, and harvest index, as it gave averages of 60.08 cm, 6.62 tons ha-1, and 40.10% for the traits, respectively, compared to the no-spraying treatment. The interaction between magnesium and manganese had a significant effect on plant height, as the combination of the highest concentration of magnesium with manganese (Mg3 x Mn2) gave average of 63.08 cm. Conclusions: Spraying with the highest concentration of magnesium resulted in a significant improvement in physiological traits.

Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of some nanoparticles in inhibiting the growth of the root knot nematode. Methods: This study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of aluminum oxide Alo-NPs and silver Ag-NPs, and chemical nematicides (Velum prime and Furadan granules), in inhibiting the growth of the root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) on two different types of eggplant cultivars, Barcelona and Thuraya. Results: The result obtained indicated that chemical nematicides and nanoparticles were highly effective in lowering the nematode invasion level expressed as number of knots per root and a gall index based on a 0-5 scale. Velum prime at concentrations of 300 and 400 ppm was the most effective and gave 0.67 and 0.17 knots/root average on both eggplant cultivars, respectively. In addition, the ALO-NPs treatment reduced infection to 1.17 knots/root compared to initial infection of 37.33 knots/root. The use of Ag-NPs at the concentration of 4000 ppm reduced infection to a low average of 2.83 knots/root for both eggplant varieties. All treatments average reduced the gall index to 0.95 (cv. Barcelona) and 1.20 (cv. Thuraya) compared to 3.33 and 4.00 for the infected non-treated controls, respectively. Conclusions: Nanoparticles have a role in controlling root-knot galls as alternatives to chemical pesticides that are dangerous to the environment and humans, and reducing the number of galls on the plant indicates the inhibition of eggs and second stage juveniles (J2).

Objectives: to analyze the genetic stability of three barley cultivars under the influence of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer to identify the variety or varieties that have genetic stability. Methods: At the Agricultural Research Station in Karma Ali, College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah, a field experiment was carried out in the Basrah Governorate during the 2021-2022 winter season The experiment was done using a split-plot design with three replications. The main plots showed the number of harvests (once, twice, or three times), which were shown by (C1, C2, C3). The secondary plots showed the crops (Baraq, Abaa 99, Abaa 265), which were shown by (V1, V2, V3). The sub-plots showed the amounts of fertilizer (300, 200, 100) N ton ha-1and symbolized by (N1, N2, N3). Results: The results showed that the values of phenotypic variances were highly significant compared to the genetic and environmental variances, the studied traits. Green and dry food yield, protein yield, and inheritance in a broad sense all had high values of 88.86%, 75.28%, and 82.45%, respectively due to the decrease in the values of environmental variance compared to the values of genetic variance. The phenotypic and genetic variation coefficients were low for the trait of fiber yield. The genetic variation coefficient for the trait of green forage yield was low, reaching 9.567%, and average for the rest of the studied traits. Conclusions: Also can note that the variety V1 is more stable for the trait.

Objective: Ginger is a flowering tropical plant that commonly used as a spice and flavoring having various pharmacological properties, several phytochemical compounds which has biological activity. The main bioactive compound in ginger is gingerol, have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect will greatly affect on fertility. Also, it has an effective role in many laboratory experiments to study the physiological activities of ginger extract on these functions. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of ginger extract on some sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in female mice, also its effect on total protein, albumin and globulin Methods: Thirty adult female mice of (Mus Musculus L.) weight (22-24g) were derived into three groups one control and two treated. Ginger water extract be ready to prepare with affecting doses according to experimental test on mice (3.5 and 7 mg body weight/mice). The concentration of serum female sex hormones (FSH, LH, progesterone and estrogen) were measured. Results: Ginger water extract caused a significant increase in the level of estrogen in both doses and significant increase in the level of FSH and LH in high dose only (P less than 0.01). While progesterone level show no significant changes. On the other hand, the serum total protein, albumin and globulin shows a significant increase only in total protein and globulin levels (P less than 0.01) in turn albumin level show no significant changes in comparison to control. Conclusion: The results of this study, ginger extract could increase the level of female sex hormones (estrogen, FSH and LH) and conceder as adjunctive natural therapy for improvement of female sex hormones as well as lead to increase in total protein and globulin level which is essential for boosting the immunity.

Objective: Babesiosis is one of the important diseases in cattle and buffaloes, the current study conducting to diagnoses and evaluate the infection by B.pigeamina in buffaloes during the period of November 2022 to September 2023. Methods: The study included 210 animals of both sexes and varied ages. The blood sampling from 220 water buffaloes (Bubalus Bubalis) in the north of Basrah governorate during the period of November 2022 to September 2023; the samples collected from both sexes and different ages ranged between 1 to 5 years. At these ten months 20 blood samples was randomly collected each month to compared with the control 10 animals. Results: The blood smear from infected buffaloes show the parasite clearly while the clinical signs reported as: babesiosis confirm 16% (32 affected animals) represented by fever, emaciation, anorexia, low milk production, jaundice of mucous membrane, corneal opacity and hemoglobinuria. The subclinical infected buffaloes which represented 41% (82 affected animals) appear healthy with no clinical signs. Also indicate that were no significant differences (P less than 0.05) between the infected and control group. The hematological parameters show significant differences (P less than 0.05) in RBCs count, total WBC count, deferential LC, Hb concentration and PCV in the infected buffaloes compare to the control animals while there were no significant differences (P less than 0.05) between the subclinical and control buffaloes except the RBCs count. The serological examination revealed to significant differences (P less than 0.05) in the infected group in posit to the control especially the liver enzymes and kidney function test enzymes which include: AST, ALT, ALP, BUN, creatinine and TP. Moreover, According the season and months the study detects the high infection rate in the summer while there were decrease in the infection rate in the mild or cold weather months. Moreover, the study indicates the high infection percentage in females compare to the male sex. Conclusion: Babesiosis is very important disease in Buffaloes in north of Basrah and there are no significant differences in infection rates between male and female.

Objectives: This study concentrated on determining the total hydrocarbon concentrations in soil at eleven stations of the oil field (Seba, Safwan, Majnoon, Ratawi, Bergezia, Qurna2, Qurna1, Shuaaba, South and North Rumaila, and Al Zubair). Methods: Soil samples were freeze-dried, finely pulverised in an agate mortar, and sieved through a 62-um metal sieve and 150 ml mixture of methanol and benzene (1:1) was used to extract the soil. Determination of TPHs where determined by using Spectrofluroscence, Total organic carbons (TOC) in the soil of the oil fields were also determined. Results: According to the TPH distribution used in this investigation, station 11 (Al Zubair) had the highest concentration of TPHs (162.53mg/g dry weight), while station 1(Seba) had the lowest concentration (21.4mg/g dry weigh). Additionally, the study's findings demonstrated that TPH levels varied spatially amongst sites. The highest amounts of total petroleum hydrocarbons detected in soil samples, as well as the findings of this investigation indicating that TPH levels varied geographically throughout stations. Conclusions: There is significant correlation between the TPH in soil and TOC%. By comprising the result concentration of this study with literature reviews, the concentration levels lies within it and in other cases exceed it.
