Since the appearance of COVID-19 at the end of December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and its prevalence in many countries, the symptoms of this disease extended from respiratory problems to a wide range of symptoms associated with the invasion of the virus to many organs and tissues in the body of patients. The white blood cells, particularly T lymphocytes, are the main effectors in defense against viral infections. This study was performed to investigate the response of white blood cells to the infection of SARS-COV-2 at the early stage of the disease. T cells decreased in number in the circulation, but this decrease was not associated with an impairment of their activity. Moreover, stimulation of virus-infected T cells with nonspecific mitogen revealed increased cell proliferation. This study concluded that T lymphocytes are highly activated during SARS-COV-2 infection, despite lymphopenia, at least at the early stages of the disease. Keywords: COVID-19, lymphocyte proliferation, mitotic index

Pregnancy is a physiological state that causes changes in many parts of the body, including the oral cavity. Gingivitis has been reported to be the most common oral manifestation during pregnancy, most likely due to an exaggerated inflammatory response to the dental plaque. This study aims to investigate oral hygiene and salivary IgA concerning gingival conditions in pregnant women. In this study, the total sample included was 80 women. The study group consisted of 40 pregnant women: 20 females in the first and 20 in the third trimester, while the control group included 40 non-pregnant women. Between 9 and 11 a.m., unstimulated saliva was collected. The rate of salivary flow and concentration of salivary immunoglobulin A were measured. Dental plaque, calculus and gingivitis were assessed. Results demonstrated that plaque, calculus and gingival indices were higher in a pregnant group, with significant differences in plaque index only. In contrast, salivary flow rate was lower in pregnant women with no significant difference. Salivary IgA was the highest level in the pregnant group during the third trimester, with no statistical difference. In conclusion, the pregnant women revealed a poor oral hygiene status and alteration in salivary parameters, leading to an increased prevalence of gingivitis in pregnant women. Keywords: Gingivitis, salivary flow rate, Pregnant women, Salivary IgA.

Enzymes are widely used as flour aids to improve the properties of flour, but their optimum use and application at the tempering stage were limited. This method is an excellent tool to ensure a good distribution of the resulting flour's enzymes, control dosage during milling, and obtain flour of specific characteristics according to its final use. Therefore, the effect of enzymatic tempering on flour yield and quality of the resulting flour was investigated in the present study, where different concentrations of cellulase enzyme were used at (24, 60, 96) units / 100 gm of wheat, and the concentration 60 units / 100 gm of wheat gave the best results, The results of the statistical analysis witnessed a significant increase in the extraction rate (Flour yield), which amounted to 74.6% for the enzymatic conditioning, compared to the control treatment, which was 70%, and a significant decrease in the percentage of fibers with an increase in the concentration of the enzyme, so it reached 0.78% for the enzymatic conditioning compared with the control treatment, which was 1.44%., There was an insignificant increase in the proportion of ash and, protein and carbohydrates, and the degree of flour color was not affected by the increase in the enzyme concentration.

This study was conducted to show the effect of the aqueous extract of the leaves of Artichoke ( Cynara scolymus L.) on Tris extender and its effect on the semen traits of Awassi rams after preservation at a cooling of 5° C for different periods (0, 24, 48 and 72 hours). This study was conducted in the animal field and laboratories of the Department of Animal Production, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad in Jadiriyah, from November 15, 2021 to April 25, 2022. Three local Awassi rams were used in this experiment. Their ages ranged from 2.5-3.0 years. The semen was collected from them by artificial vagina by one ejaculation/ram/week for 8 weeks. The semen of rams has been mixed in order to eliminate individual differences. The following tests were conducted to evaluate the semen characteristics for each motility, the percentage of viability sperm, total abnormalities, the integrity of the plasma membrane, and the acrosome's integrity. The current study showed that adding an aqueous extract from the leaves of the artichoke plant (Cynara scolymus L.) improved most of the studied traits when stored in preservation. The results indicated a highly significant (P<0.01) for the treatments T1, T2 and T4, which amounted to (87.00 ± 1.86, 85.50 ± 2.02 and 86.87 ± 0.78%) compared to the control group (C), which amounted to (77.25 ± 2.11%), While the previous treatments did not differ significantly with treatment T3, which amounted to (81.87 ± 2.94%) in the percentage of live sperm during the 0 hour preservation period. At the same time, the results indicated no significant differences between treatments T1, T2, T3 and T4 compared to the control treatment and for all periods (0, 24, 48 and 72 hours) in the individual motility of the sperm. As for measuring the biochemical traits of seminal plasma, The results of AST and ALT enzymes indicated that there was no significant increase between treatments during one period, while an arithmetic superiority occurred after 72 hours of preservation for treatments T1, T2, T3 and T4 compared with the 0 hour preservation period. It is concluded from the current study that adding an aqueous extract of (Cynara Scolymus) artichoke leaves to Tris extender improved the semen quality of Awassi rams after preservation.

Amino acids are the basic building block for peptides and proteins. They are raw materials for generating hormones, purines, pyrimidines and vitamins. Amino acids also provide the body with energy through their carbon structures. The study analyzed the amino acid in the kidneys of the albino mice embryo at 17 and 19 gestation days, using a high-performance liquid chromatography device (HPLC). Samples were obtained after removing them from the embryo and placing them in an ice bath to prevent cell lysis and acid loss. The study found 18 amino acids in the kidneys of the albino mice embryo. They are Asparagine (Asn), Glutamine (Glu), Serine (Ser), Glycine (Gly), Threonine (Thr), Histidine (His), Cysteine (Cys), Alanine (Ala), Proline (Pro), Tryptophan (Tryp), Arginine (Arg), Tyrosine (Tyr), Valine (Val), Methionine (Met), Isoleucine (Ile), Leucine (Leu), Phenylalanine (Phe), and Lysine (Iys).

To Evaluate the state of pollution with heavy metals (Zn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb), ten Locations with different chemical and physical properties were selected from the agricultural Locations of Basrah province: 1/Al-Qurna, 2/Al-Madina, 3/Al-Dair, 4/Al-Haritha, and 5/Karmat Ali (University). ), 6/ Al-Tanuma, 7/ Abu Al-Khasib, 8/ Al-Siba, 9/ Al-Faw and 10/ Al-Zubayr (Al-Burjisiya station) and a site was chosen for comparison, where soil samples were collected from agricultural Locations close to the source of pollution, while plant samples were collected from near and far from the source Pollution and the necessary analyzes were Carried out for the study. The results showed an increase in the concentration of total heavy metals in the soils of most of the study Locations, and they were polluted compared to the comparison treatment. The soils of most agricultural Locations exceeded the internationally permissible limits. The results indicated that the total average concentration of lead, Nickel, copper, chromium and zinc in the Hartha area (the fourth site) was 615.88, 165.55, 390.40, 48.45, 465.83 mg kg-1 soil sequentially, which is higher compared to the average concentration in other agricultural sites, as well as the concentrations of heavy metals increased (Pb, Ni, Cu, Cr, Zn) in plants grown in locations close from the source of pollution. The concentrations of these elements decreased in plants far from the source of pollution. It is noted that the pollution factor (CF) values of Pb and Zn in all study Locations ranged from moderate contamination to very high contamination. Keywords: PLI, pollution Factor (CF), oil installations, soil pollution, plant pollution.
为了评价Basrah省的重金属(Zn、Cr、Cu、Ni、Pb)污染状况，选取了10个具有不同化学和物理性质的地点:1/Al-Qurna、2/Al-Madina、3/Al-Dair、4/Al-Haritha和5/ karat Ali (University)。， 6/ Al-Tanuma, 7/ Abu Al-Khasib, 8/ Al-Siba, 9/ Al-Faw和10/ Al-Zubayr (Al-Burjisiya站)和选择一个场址进行比较，在那里从靠近污染源的农业地点收集土壤样本，而从离污染源近和远的地方收集植物样本，并为研究进行必要的分析。结果表明，大部分试验点土壤重金属总浓度均有所升高，与对照处理相比已受到污染。大多数农业用地的土壤超过了国际允许的限度。结果表明:哈塔地区(第4样地)土壤中铅、镍、铜、铬、锌的总平均浓度依次为615.88、165.55、390.40、48.45、465.83 mg kg-1，高于其他农业样地的平均浓度，离污染源较近的植物中重金属(Pb、Ni、Cu、Cr、Zn)的浓度也有所增加。在远离污染源的植物中，这些元素的浓度下降了。结果表明，各研究地点的铅、锌污染系数(CF)均在中等污染到非常高污染之间。关键词:PLI，污染因子，石油设施，土壤污染，植物污染。

Chalcone reagents are used in various fields because of their biological, medical, and medicinal properties. Therefore, this study aimed to prepare a new reagent of Chalcone–Azo and study its chemical and physical properties using different techniques. In this recent work, four reagents were created and tested using thermal behavior in stability curves, solubility in various solvents, and spectral characterization like UV-visible FT-IR. In addition, a biological study was conducted to estimate the effect of these reagents on two types of fungi. Results showed that spectral characterization methods (UV-visible and FT-IR) showed that new groups of compounds were formed, and starter reactants disappeared. This is good proof of forming new reagents. The outcome of thermal behavior in stability curves solubility in various solvents emphasizes these results. The study of using the new reagents as antifungal substances showed that reagent {3} had the highest effect on inhibiting study fungi growth, followed by reagent {4}. Keywords: Reagent, analytical, thermal, fungi, bioassay
