Background: Aspergillus spp. causes a wide range of diseases called Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) which is a fatal illness that affects a variety of immunocompromised people worldwide.Objective: Using the lateral flow test for the detection of Galactomannan antigen in immunocompromised patients suspected to have IA.Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 72 patients, whose samples (serum, Bronchoalveolar lavage, Blood) were collected from the Hematology-Oncology Unit at Baghdad Teaching Hospital and Pediatric Welfare Hospital, and ICU in Ghazi AL-Hariri Surgical Specialties Hospital, and Bone Marrow Transplantation Center in period between November 2022 to February 2023. Patients’ blood and sputum were sent for fungal culture to confirm the diagnosis in most cases.Results: QuicGM Aspergillus Lateral Flow Assay was conducted on 72 patients, of whom 34 () were positive and 38 (52.7) were negative (P-value of 0.001 and 0.5) respectively. This screening aimed at detecting IA. One week later, the second confirmative result was obtained from 24 patients to determine the response to antifungal drugs or recovery from neutropenia on which 15 readings were negative and nine were positive. Out of 48 single readings, 25 were positive and 23 were negative. All for 72 members of the control group gave negative results. This study is the first in Iraq to use this assay.Conclusion: QuicGM Aspergillus Lateral Flow Assay was found to be reliable, sensitive, and specific, and proved to be a very good guide for the early diagnosis of IA in immunocompromised patients and in monitoring treatment outcomes and follow-up.

Background: Bowel cancer is the most prevalent digestive system cancer and is the 4th largest cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In Iraq, colon and rectal cancer (CRC) is the 6th most common malignancy in males and the 5th in females. This cancer is sluggish in growth, which gives a window of opportunity to screen for both precursor lesions and early cancer. The Cluster of Differentiation 47 (CD47) protein is a type of transmembrane glycoproteins found on nearly all human cells, including non-hematopoietic and hematopoietic cells. CD47 promotes CRC growth by triggering angiogenesis and apoptosis of tumor cell.Objectives: To evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of (CD47) in various colorectal samples from Iraqi patients with CRC by immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay.Specimens and methods: A total of 45 paraffin-embedded CRC tissue specimens and clinical data were obtained from the Medical City Teaching Hospital in Baghdad and a number of private laboratories in Baghdad, Iraq. In addition, 30 control colon and rectum tissues with no significant pathology were collected from the Forensic Medicine Department for comparison purposes after taking the official approvals.Results: The results revealed a high expression of CD47 in CRC cases, but with no significant correlation with clinicopathological features. Also, the result of figures in this study revealed negative membranous expression of CD47 (score 0), strong membranous expression of CD47 (score 3), moderately membranous expression of CD47 (score 2), and weak membranous expression of CD47 (score 1)Conclusion: Patients with CRC had high CD47 expression, allowing tumor cells to modulate CD47SIRP inhibitory signaling and prevent immune cell attack. 
背景:肠癌是最常见的消化系统癌症,也是全球第四大癌症致死原因。在伊拉克,结肠癌和直肠癌(CRC)在男性最常见的恶性肿瘤中排名第六,在女性中排名第五。这种癌症生长缓慢,为筛查前驱病变和早期癌症提供了机会。分化簇 47(CD47)蛋白是一种跨膜糖蛋白,几乎存在于所有人类细胞上,包括非造血细胞和造血细胞。CD47 通过触发血管生成和肿瘤细胞凋亡促进 CRC 生长:目的:通过免疫组化(IHC)方法评估(CD47)在伊拉克 CRC 患者各种结直肠样本中的免疫组化表达:标本和方法:总共 45 份石蜡包埋的 CRC 组织标本和临床数据来自伊拉克巴格达医学城教学医院和巴格达的一些私人实验室。此外,经官方批准后,还从法医部门收集了 30 份无明显病理变化的对照结肠和直肠组织进行对比:结果:研究结果显示,CD47 在 CRC 病例中高表达,但与临床病理特征无明显相关性。此外,本研究的数字结果显示 CD47 膜阴性表达(0 分)、CD47 膜强表达(3 分)、CD47 膜中度表达(2 分)和 CD47 膜弱表达(1 分):结论:CRC 患者的 CD47 高表达可使肿瘤细胞调节 CD47SIRP 抑制信号,阻止免疫细胞的攻击。

Background: Dutasteride, is a drug whose mechanism of action is inhibition of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. It has been approved for use in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Dutasteride has low solubility and high permeability, which classifies it as Biopharmaceutics classification system class II, according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System. It has a water solubility of only 0.038 ng/mL and a slow dissolving rate, resulting in its exclusive availability in the market as a formulation contained within soft gelatin capsules.Objective: The aim of this study involves two parts. First, is the enhancement of dutasteride dissolution rate, by the creation of dutasteride nanosuspension, and second is the enhancement of patient compliance by the transformation of this nanosuspension to oral fast-dissolving film, which is characterized by its fast disintegration, stability, and ease of administration.   Methods: The solvent anti/solvent precipitation method was used to formulate dutasteride nanosuspension. In addition, dutasteride nanoparticles oral fast dissolving films were prepared by using the solvent casting method.To compare the in vitro release patterns of pure dutasteride film and selected dutasteride nanoparticles film, the statistical analysis for the dissolution investigation was conducted using the model-independent technique (employing similarity factor f2) utilizing a DD solver. The selected dutasteride nanoparticle film was supposed to be the test material, while the pure dutasteride film was supposed to serve as the reference.Results: dutasteride nanosuspension demonstrated a high enhancement of the dissolution rate. In addition, the prepared dutasteride nanoparticles oral fast-dissolving film exhibited a further increase in the rate of dissolution and fast disintegration, and the administration is easy, all of these properties making it a promising dosage form.Conclusion: Nanosuspension is an excellent approach for enhancing the solubility, dissolution rate, and effectiveness of drugs with limited aqueous solubility such as dutasteride. In addition, the oral fast-dissolving film can be considered a promising dosage form that will increase patient compliance due to its high dissolution rate, fast disintegration, and easy administration.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease restricted to the large intestine, characterized by superficial ulceration. It is a progressive and chronic disease requiring long-term treatment. Although its etiology remains unknown, it is suggested that environmental factors influence genetically susceptible individuals, leading to the onset of the disease. (C-X-C) ligand 9 is a chemokine that belongs to the CXC chemokine family, it plays a role in the differentiation of immune cells such as cytotoxic lymphocytes, natural killer T cells, and macrophages. Its interaction with its corresponding receptor CXCR3 which is expressed by a variety of cells such as effector T cells, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, and macrophage, leads to stimulation of the production of IFN-γ and TNF-α and in turn, stimulates the production of Th1 chemokines which results in promoting the inflammation.Objectives: To assess the significance of serum chemokine (C-X-C) ligand 9 as a potential marker for identifying ulcerative colitis in adults with inflammatory bowel disease.Patients and Methods:  This is a case-control study that included 50 patients diagnosed with UC, aged between 18 and 75 years, compared to 50 healthy controls, aged between 18 and 60 years. The study was conducted between November 2022 and March 2023, at the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Teaching Hospital at the Medical City Complex in Baghdad. The serum samples were analyzed using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique.Results: The mean ± SD in pg/ml of serum CXCL9 in patient group was 26.9 ± 9.05 and in control group was 6.4 ± 2.37 (p< 0.0001) which indicates a highly significant difference.Conclusion: CXCL 9 may be employed as a biomarker for identifying ulcerative colitis and it can be used as a tool for measuring disease activity, in addition to the possibility of being a potential therapeutic target. 
背景:溃疡性结肠炎(UC)是一种局限于大肠的炎症性肠病,以浅表溃疡为特征。它是一种进展性慢性疾病,需要长期治疗。虽然其病因尚不清楚,但有人认为是环境因素影响了易感基因个体,导致发病。(C-X-C)配体 9 是一种趋化因子,属于 CXC 趋化因子家族,在细胞毒性淋巴细胞、自然杀伤 T 细胞和巨噬细胞等免疫细胞的分化过程中发挥作用。它与效应 T 细胞、CD8+ 细胞毒性 T 细胞和巨噬细胞等多种细胞表达的相应受体 CXCR3 相互作用,导致刺激 IFN-γ 和 TNF-α 的产生,进而刺激 Th1 趋化因子的产生,从而促进炎症的发生:评估血清趋化因子(C-X-C)配体 9 作为识别成人炎症性肠病患者溃疡性结肠炎潜在标志物的意义: 这是一项病例对照研究,包括 50 名年龄在 18 岁至 75 岁之间的确诊为溃疡性结肠炎的患者,以及 50 名年龄在 18 岁至 60 岁之间的健康对照者。研究于 2022 年 11 月至 2023 年 3 月期间在巴格达医疗城综合医院的胃肠病学和肝病学教学医院进行。血清样本采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)技术进行分析:结果:患者组血清中 CXCL9 的平均值(以 pg/ml 为单位)为 26.9 ± 9.05(P< 0.0001),对照组为 6.4 ± 2.37(P< 0.0001),差异非常显著:结论:CXCL 9 可用作识别溃疡性结肠炎的生物标记物,也可用作测量疾病活动性的工具,此外还可能成为潜在的治疗靶点。

Background: Emotional abuse is a widespread form of child abuse. It is suggested that the adverse outcomes from all forms of abuse mostly result from the emotional impacts. Resistin, a polypeptide high in cysteine, can serve as a valuable biochemical indicator of periodontal tissue damage when detected in the saliva.Objective: To assess the relationship of emotional abuse with periodontal status and salivary resistin levels.Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study included 522 intermediate school students aged 13-15 years in Kirkuk/Iraq. Information on emotional abuse was obtained using Glaser criteria which is a self-administered, structured, questionnaire form. The levels of emotional abuse were categorized into mild (score between 24-26), moderate (score between 27-42), and severe (score between 43-72). Periodontal health was assessed by using the community periodontal index (CPI). Non-stimulated saliva was collected and salivary resistin levels were evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: The most common level of abuse was moderate. The largest percentages of participants with dental calculus were observed in moderate (48.2%) and severe (57.5%) abuse groups and the highest mean number of sextants with gingival bleeding was observed in participants who experienced a moderate level of abuse (0.34). While the level of resistin was higher in the mild abuse group (237.06), all of its relationships with the periodontal condition were non-significant.Conclusion: Emotional abuse affects salivary resistin levels but has no obvious effect on periodontal status. Non-significant correlations were observed between salivary resistin levels and the levels of abuse with periodontal conditions.
背景:情感虐待是一种普遍的虐待儿童形式。有研究表明,各种形式的虐待所造成的不良后果大多来自于情绪影响。抗坏血酸是一种富含半胱氨酸的多肽,从唾液中检测可作为牙周组织损伤的重要生化指标:评估情感虐待与牙周状况和唾液抗阻素水平的关系:这项横断面比较研究包括伊拉克基尔库克市 522 名 13-15 岁的中学生。有关情感虐待的信息是通过格拉泽标准获得的,格拉泽标准是一种自填式结构问卷。情感虐待程度分为轻度(得分在 24-26 分之间)、中度(得分在 27-42 分之间)和重度(得分在 43-72 分之间)。牙周健康采用社区牙周指数(CPI)进行评估。收集非刺激性唾液,并使用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)评估唾液抗阻素水平:结果:最常见的滥用程度为中度。在中度滥用组(48.2%)和重度滥用组(57.5%)观察到的牙结石患者比例最高,在中度滥用组观察到的牙龈出血六分仪平均数量最高(0.34)。虽然轻度虐待组的抗唾液素水平较高(237.06),但其与牙周状况的所有关系均不显著:结论:情感虐待会影响唾液抗阻素水平,但对牙周状况没有明显影响。结论:情感虐待会影响唾液抗阻素的水平,但对牙周状况没有明显影响,唾液抗阻素水平和虐待程度与牙周状况之间的相关性不显著。

Background: Acute bronchitis, an inflammation of the lower respiratory tract characterized by an acute cough, is a prevalent clinical illness that leads patients to seek out primary healthcare services. About 5 percent of adults in the United States report having acute bronchitis annually, with 90 percent of those affected seeking medical attention. Objectives: The study aimed to determine Nitric oxide, Procalcitonin (PCT), WBCs, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and Oxidative stress index (OSI) levels in acute bronchitis patients. Methods: The study involved 120 volunteers aged 20–50 years old in Al-Zahra Teaching Hospital, Wasit City. 80 patients with acute bronchitis were conducted between (10 November 2022 to 20 March 2023). 40 people were used as a control group. Blood samples were collected from patients and controls. Complete blood account CBC was calculated using a blood sample with EDTA. Serum was used to calculate NO, PCT, and OSI. Blood counts were performed using the SYSMEX XP-300. Nitric oxide and Procalcitonin levels were measured using an ELISA kit. OSI was calculated using the equation OSI = Total oxidant status /Total antioxidant status x100.Results: The current research presents the results of the Procalcitonin, nitric oxide, oxidative stress index, neutrophils, and lymphocytes. Age, BMI, and WBCs in acute bronchitis did not show any significant variances when compared between the two groups. In contrast, nitric oxide, Procalcitonin, oxidative stress, and Neutrophil levels showed a highly significant change among the acute bronchitis patient group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Procalcitonin and nitric oxide may have a role in the diagnosis of acute bronchitis, in addition to lymphocytes and neutrophils.

Background: Cell adhesion molecules are protein entities that are located on the cell surface. The vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression is related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with dyslipidemia. Objectives: To determine the levels of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in T2DM patients with dyslipidemia and to explore the relationship between VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 and the development of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients.Patients and methods: The study included 150 individuals with an age range of (35-55) years. Patients with diabetes for more than 5 years were excluded. Fifty healthy individuals constituted Group 1 (G1), fifty patients with T2DM constituted Group 2 (G2), and fifty T2DM patients with dyslipidemia constituted Group 3 (G3). Whole blood samples were drawn to measure HbA1c based on fluorescence immunoassay technology. The serum was separated to measure fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) by manual methods, while VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 were determined using the ELISA test. The study was conducted between November 2022 and April 2023 at the National Center for Diabetes Treatment and Research, Baghdad, Iraq.Results: Significantly higher levels of FSG and HbA1c were detected in G2 and G3 compared to G1, but non-significantly so when G3 was compared to G2. Significant higher levels of TG and TC levels were detected for G3 when compared to G1 and G2, but non-significantly so when G2 was compared to G1. HDL levels were significantly lower in G3 compared to G2 and G1, but non-significantly so when G2 was compared to G1. VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 were significantly higher in G2 compared to G1, and VCAM-1 level was significantly higher in G3 compared to G2. Non-significant differences in ICAM-1 levels were found between G3 and G2.Conclusion: VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 are potentially significant factors in the development of dyslipidemia in diabetes patients. They might serve as biomarkers to accurately predict the progression of cardiovascular disease.

Background: In eukaryotic cells, the acidification of intracellular compartments is the responsibility of vacuolar H+ ATPase, a family of proton pumps, sometimes known as V-ATPases. Small GTPases are signaling molecules that regulate important cellular processes as well as subcellular activities making them essential players, particularly in a wide variety of coronavirus infection processes.Objectives: The purpose of this research was to assess the levels of ATPase and GTPase in fibrotic lung disease patients who had received or had not received the COVID-19 vaccination, and then to compare these levels with those of the control group.Methods: A total of 150 individuals participated in this study, divided into three groups. The first group was the control group (N=50). In the second group (N=50) patients with fibrotic lung disease () who did not get the COVID-19 vaccination. Fifty patients who had received the COVID-19 vaccination made up the third group ()(N=50). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was the method that was used to determine the amounts of ATPase and GTPase. The P- P-value of 0.05 or less is considered statistically significant. ROC tests were examined for ATPase and GTPase.     Results: The data analysis reported a significant rise in alkaline phosphatase, Alanine aminotransferase, and Aspartate-aminotransferase  () among the three groups. Both ATPase and GTPase levels were shown to have significantly increased in Groups 3 and 2 as compared to Group 1 levels. Moreover, a substantial rise was discovered in Group 3  in comparison to Group 2 which was detected.Conclusion: ATPase and GTPase levels are increased in patients with fibrotic lung disease regardless of the COVID-19 vaccination state.          
背景:在真核细胞中,细胞内的酸化是由液泡 H+ ATPase(质子泵家族,有时也称为 V-ATPases)负责的。小 GTP 酶是调节重要细胞过程和亚细胞活动的信号分子,因此它们是重要的参与者,尤其是在各种冠状病毒感染过程中:本研究的目的是评估接种或未接种 COVID-19 疫苗的纤维化肺病患者体内 ATPase 和 GTPase 的水平,然后将这些水平与对照组进行比较:方法: 共有 150 人参加了这项研究,分为三组。第一组为对照组(50 人)。第二组(50人)是未接种COVID-19疫苗的纤维化肺病患者()。接种过COVID-19疫苗的50名患者组成第三组()(N=50)。酶联免疫吸附试验是测定 ATPase 和 GTPase 含量的方法。P-P值小于或等于0.05为具有统计学意义。对 ATPase 和 GTPase 进行了 ROC 检验。 结果数据分析显示,三组患者的碱性磷酸酶、丙氨酸氨基转移酶和天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶()均明显升高。与第 1 组相比,第 3 组和第 2 组的 ATP 酶和 GTP 酶水平均有明显升高。此外,与第 2 组相比,第 3 组的 ATPase 和 GTPase 水平大幅上升:结论:无论接种COVID-19疫苗与否,纤维化肺病患者的ATP酶和GTP酶水平都会升高。

It is associated with persistent symptoms that cause a considerable burden on individual productivity at work, and daily activities, and reduced quality of life, also burdening the healthcare system and society.Objectives: The study aims to measure the burden of COPD on patients in terms of daily activities and work productivity. It also seeks to investigate some inflammatory biomarkers' levels and their correlation with selected outcomes.Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study on 120 stable COPD patients who were diagnosed and treated according to the GOLD guidelines at Kirkuk General Hospital's chest and Internal Medicine consultation clinics, and in private internist clinics in Kirkuk City, Iraq between January and April 2023. The Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI-COPD) measured the Burden of COPD. The symptom burden was assessed by the COPD assessment test (CAT). The level of IL-6 monoclonal antibodies was measured via a Roche Cobas 6000 analyzer and TNF-α using the ELISA sandwich technique. All these devices and machines were authorized by the Ministry of Health, Iraq.Results: The mean age was (54.1 ± 8.12) years, 62.5% being males and 37.5% being females; 41.7% were public sector employees, and 39.2% were self-employed. Due to COPD, the overall work loss was (45.9±18.91) days, the mean percentage of absenteeism was (10.9% ± 12.31%), activity impairment was (47.5% ±17.79%) among all patients, presenteeism was (40.8 ± 15.05%,) and COPD-related retirees were 14.2% of the study group. The mean CAT score (19.3±5.63) was high and the most troubling symptom among patients was chest tightness.  WPAI-COPD scores were higher in older age and longer disease duration. The levels of biomarkers were above the reference ranges, the mean IL-6 level was (69.4 ± 35.29) pg/ml, and the mean TNF-α was (72.3 ± 22.45) pg/ ml.Conclusions: COPD patients exhibit a disease burden in terms of productivity loss at work and activity impairment that increases with aging and disease duration. COPD patients with low BMI are more prone to a decline in lung functions and to worse symptoms.
背景:慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)是一种进行性气流受限疾病,可预防但不可治愈。慢性阻塞性肺病的症状持续存在,给患者的工作和日常活动带来很大负担,降低了生活质量,同时也给医疗系统和社会造成负担:本研究旨在测量慢性阻塞性肺病对患者日常活动和工作效率造成的负担。研究还试图调查一些炎症生物标志物的水平及其与选定结果的相关性:这是一项横断面研究,研究对象是 2023 年 1 月至 4 月期间在伊拉克基尔库克市基尔库克总医院胸科和内科门诊以及私人内科诊所根据 GOLD 指南诊断和治疗的 120 名慢性阻塞性肺病稳定期患者。工作生产率和活动障碍问卷(WPAI-COPD)测量慢性阻塞性肺病的负担。症状负担通过慢性阻塞性肺病评估测试(CAT)进行评估。IL-6 单克隆抗体水平通过罗氏 Cobas 6000 分析仪进行测量,TNF-α 通过 ELISA 夹层技术进行测量。所有这些设备和仪器都获得了伊拉克卫生部的授权:平均年龄为(54.1 ± 8.12)岁,62.5%为男性,37.5%为女性;41.7%为公共部门雇员,39.2%为自营职业者。由于慢性阻塞性肺病,所有患者的总体工作损失为(45.9±18.91)天,旷工的平均百分比为(10.9%±12.31%),活动障碍为(47.5%±17.79%),缺勤率为(40.8±15.05%),与慢性阻塞性肺病相关的退休人员占研究组的 14.2%。平均 CAT 评分(19.3±5.63)较高,患者最困扰的症状是胸闷。 年龄越大、病程越长的患者 WPAI-COPD 评分越高。生物标志物水平高于参考范围,IL-6 平均水平为(69.4±35.29)pg/ml,TNF-α 平均水平为(72.3±22.45)pg/ml:慢性阻塞性肺病患者在工作生产率损失和活动障碍方面的疾病负担随着年龄增长和病程延长而增加。体重指数低的慢性阻塞性肺病患者更容易出现肺功能下降和症状加重。
