Efficacy of atorvastatin in treatment of Iraqi obese patients with hypercholesterolemia

Background: dyslipidemia plays a crucial rule in the development of cardiovascular disease, which has become the leading cause of death in most developed countries as well as in developing countries (1). The effects of reducing low density lipoprotein – C (LDL-C) concentrations on the prevention of cardiovascular events and stroke have been well reported in many clinical trials.Objectives: Evidence supports the use of statins for lipid modifications in the primary prevention of coronary artery disease, morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of atorvastatin in treating dyslipidemia in Iraqi obese patients.Methods: 200 overweight and obese patients with hypercholesterolemia, according to NCEP ATP III criteria, were included. They were randomized into 3 groups according to atorvastatin dose, 10, 20, 40 mg/ day, and treated for 8 weeks. Blood lipid profile, liver enzymes ALT and AST, urea, creatinine, uric acid, calcium and glucose were measured before and after therapy.Results: There was a significant reduction of total cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), but a non-significant reduction of high density lipoprotein (HDL) with all atorvastatin doses. The high doses of the drug caused a significant elevation of serum levels of ALT and AST and a significant decrease of blood calcium; but there was no significant change in blood levels ofurea, creatinine, uric acid or glucose with any dose.Conclusion: Short-term atorvastatin therapy in dyslipidemic obese patients caused a reduction of TC, TG, LDL, and VLDL, but had no significant effect on HDL, non-significant changes in blood urea, serum creatinine, serum uric acid or blood glucose, while there was a dose dependent elevation of ALT and AST.
Study of correlation and path analysis for yield and yield attributing traits in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]

The present study on association of various plant, pod and seed characters with seed yield was carried out using 112 diverse genotypes of mungbean, along with five high yielding checks. The field experiment was laid out in Augmented Block Design at N. E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, India. Observations were recorded on fifteen morphological characters of plant, pod and seed. The genotype differed significantly for all the characters studied. Correlation analysis indicated that seed yield showed positive significant correlation with number of pod per plant, pod diameter, pod length, 100-seed weight, number of cluster, number of leaves, seed diameter, plant height, seed length, pod wall thickness, number of branches and seed density. Path analysis revealed that number of pod per plant and 100-seed weight exerted a high magnitude of positive direct effect, pod length showed moderate effect while number of cluster and seed density exerted positive but low magnitude of direct effect on seed yield. Selection strategy based on these characters having high direct effect coupled with positive correlation with seed yield will be rewarding in mungbean improvement programme.
Clinical Applications of Capnography among Mechanically Ventilated Children = التطبيقات الإكلينيكية لمخطط ثاني أكسيد الكربون في الأطفال تحت التنفس الصناعي

Background: Capnography provides insight into the management of many emergencies. It reflects the factors affecting perfusion and metabolism, and it is used for continuous monitoring of mechanically-ventilated patients. Objectives: To investigate the correlation between the partial pressure of end tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO 2 ) and arterial blood carbon dioxide (PaCO 2 ), and to investigate the accuracy of the change of capnographic curve in diagnosis of special pathological situations. Patients and Methods: A total of 100 patients (1 day to 15 years), mechanically-ventilated due to various clinical causes were monitored by PetCO2, and arterial blood gas (ABG) concomitant with assessment of PetCO2. Results: Significant correlation was found between PaCO 2 and PetCO 2 , and abnormal PaCO 2 -PetCO 2 gradient was found to be correlated well with the duration of mechanical ventilation. Various PetCO 2 waveforms were recorded. Conclusion: Capnography should be used for monitoring of critically ill patients and for confirmation of endotracheal intubation. It should be applied during cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to monitor the quality of CPR. It is used to monitor the integrity of patient ventilator interface, identification of ventilated patients in need for additional sedation or neuromuscular blockage, and readjustment of ventilator parameters.

Turnover Based Illiquidity Measurement as Investment Strategy on Zagreb Stock Exchange

This paper deals with illiquidity measurement of stocks on Croatian Stock market. Illiquidity measures used in this paper are daily ratio of absolute stock return to its dollar volume (ILLIQ) and RCT (Relative change in turnover). Aim of this paper is to show that illiquidity measure RCT makes clear distinction between liquid and illiquid stocks that should be reflected through investment strategy where investment in RCT based illiquid portfolios outperforms investment in ILLIQ based portfolios and CROBEX index. Research was carried out on eighteen stocks from Zagreb Stock Exchange (ZSE) which are constituents of CROBEX index. Portfolios of liquid and portfolios of illiquid stocks based on results of illiquidity measurement were constructed. Behaviour in terms of return and volatility of these portfolios in following one-year period was observed. Results showed that portfolios formed using RCT as measure of illiquidity constantly outperformed CROBEX index and ILLIQ based portfolios. Returns of RCT based portfolios had lower standard deviation and were more stable than ILLIQ based portfolios in whole period. RCT as a measure of illiquidity produces valuable information on stock liquidity that can be exploited as investment strategy reflecting itself in larger expected returns of RCT portfolios in future period than expected returns of ILLIQ based portfolios and market.
The R2TP chaperone assembles cellular machineries in intestinal CBC stem cells and progenitors

The R2TP chaperone cooperates with HSP90 to integrate newly synthesized proteins into multi-subunit complexes, yet its role in tissue homeostasis is unknown. Here, we generated conditional, inducible knock-out mice for Rpap3 to inactivate this core component of R2TP in the intestinal epithelium. In adult mice, Rpap3 invalidation caused destruction of the small intestinal epithelium, and death within 10 days. Levels of R2TP substrates were decreased, with strong effects on mTOR, ATM and ATR. Rpap3-deficient CBC stem cells and progenitors also failed to import RNA polymerase II in the nucleus. This correlated with p53 activation, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Interestingly, post-mitotic, differentiated cells did not display any of those alterations, indicating that R2TP clients are built in actively proliferating cells. Analyses of tissues from colorectal cancer patients revealed that high RPAP3 levels correlate with bad cancer prognosis. Thus, in the intestine, the R2TP chaperone functions in physiologic and pathologic proliferation.
Is there a role for adjuvant pertuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer?

The outcomes of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer was dramatically changed by the introduction of targeted therapies against the HER2 receptor (1). The monoclonal antibody trastuzumab was the first HER2-directed treatment that demonstrated, together with chemotherapy, a significant improvement in treatment outcomes of this subgroup of patients, both in the metastatic (2) and neo-/adjuvant (3-7) settings, thus becoming the mainstay of treatment in HER2 positive breast cancer. The remarkable results achieved led to the development of additional HER2-targeted drugs, raising the hypothesis of a double-HER2 blockade against breast cancer.
VASCULARIZED COMPOSITE ALLOGRAFTS ( L CENDALES AND R BARTH , SECTION EDITORS ) Report ( 2017 ) of the International Registry on Hand and Composite Tissue Allotransplantation ( IRHCTT )

Purpose of Review Analysis of all upper extremity (UET) and face allotransplantations (FT) reported to the International Registry on Hand and Composite Tissue Transplantation (IRHCTT) by May 2017. Recent Findings The IRHCTT includes 66 cases of UET (18 unilateral and 38 bilateral) and 30 of FT. Acute and chronic rejections were reported in the presence of immunosuppression. Complications similar to those reported in solid organ transplantation occurred. UET patient survival was 96.7% at 1, 5, and 10 years after transplantation; graft survival was 90.4% at 1 year and 86.6% at 5 and 10 years. FT patient survival was 96.6% at 1 year and 96.2% at 5 years; graft survival was 96.6% at 1 and 5 years. The majority of UET and FT recipients were satisfied of their graft. Summary UET and FT are complex procedures requiring long-life immunosuppression; their success requires the patients’ careful selection, through evaluation, follow-up and compliance to the immunosuppression.
Distributional analysis of the extra-clustering model with uniformly generated phylogenetic trees

The extra-clustering model for the group formation process of social animals was introduced by Durand, Blum and François. The model uses the relatedness of the animals, which is described by phylogenetic trees. If these trees are drawn from the Yule-Harding model, it was analyzed in recent work. Here, we analyze it for the uniform model, which is the other widely-studied model on phylogenetics trees. More precisely, we derive moments and limit laws for the number of groups, the number of groups of ﬁxed size and the largest group size. Our results show that, independent of the probability of extra-clustering, there is on average only a ﬁnite number of groups, one of which is very large whereas all others are small. This behavior considerably differs from the Yule-Harding case, where the ﬁniteness of the number of groups is dependent on the extra-clustering probability.
Characterization and Comparative Performance of TiO2 Photocatalysts on 6-Mercaptopurine Degradation by Solar Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

The crystallographic properties of two titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysts, P25, and commercial C1-TiO2 reactive grade, were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the band-gap was calculated with UV–Vis spectrometry with integration sphere. Then, their performance was tested in the degradation of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) by heterogeneous photocatalysis with solar radiation under different pH conditions and the addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2); the degradation efficiency was monitored by UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The XRD analysis showed that both photocatalysts studied have anatase phase, while only P25 contains rutile; the band gap values were lower, in both catalysts, than those reported for catalysts obtained by the sol-gel method. With both photocatalysts, degradation experiments showed efficiency greater than 98% in experiments in the presence of H2O2 regardless of pH. The properties of the photocatalysts, along with the data obtained from the experimentation, helped determine the best semiconductor for the degradation of 6-MP with these operating conditions in this work.

Introduction: The first phase of orthodontic therapy depend on flexible archwires, usually ''Nickel-titanium'' alloy to relate. The substantially load during movement of the tooth. Copper has been additional to nickel-titanium arch wires, subsequent made an alloy with potential clinical benefit. Also, the surface, characteristics, for instance roughness surface, hardness of orthodontic arch wires, and topography are essential determinants of the efficiency of archwire-guided movement of the tooth. They besides affect the potential of corrosion and the aesthetics components of orthodontic. Aims and objective: This in vitro study was planned to assess the roughness of Copper Nickel Titanium arch wires from altered brands in dry and wet condition (acidic and neutral artificial saliva). Materials and methods: Three types of CuNiTi orthodontic archwires from different brands were used: CuNiTi (Ormco brand), CuNiTi (IOS brand) and CuNiTi (Orthotechnology brand). They were rectangular (0.018 × 0.025 inch) in cross section and cut into pieces of 25 mm in distance. Thrity pieces from each company were divided into three groups; first one was left in dry condition and the other two groups ten pieces for each group were submerged in artificial saliva ((pH=6.75 ± 0.015)) and ((pH=3.5 ± 0.015)) at 370C for 2 months. The atomic force microscope was used to assess surface analysis of very samples. Then, the obtained data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test. Results: After immersion period, CuNiTi wires from orthotechnology brand exhibited the highest roughness among the study groups. On, the hand, the minimum roughness was CuNiTi wires from Ormco rand when compared to equivalent archwires. However, statistically non-significant different was noticed in surface roughness between groups of archwires from different company at dry condition. On the other hand, a highly significant different was noticed in surface roughness between groups of archwires from different company at wet condition. Conclusion: The copper nickel titanium archwires from Ormco brand were the greatest and the most suitable alignment orthodontic archwires in term of the minimum roughness firstly and over the sequence of period of this study.

Douleurs musculaires posteffort Delayed post effort muscle soreness

Muscle intolerance to exercise may result from different processes. Diagnosis involves confirming first the source of pain, then potential pathological myalgia. Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), commonly referred as tiredness, occurs frequently in sport. DOMS usually develops 12–48 h after intensive and/or unusual eccentric muscle action. Symptoms usually involve the quadriceps muscle group but may also affect the hamstring and triceps surae groups. The muscles are sensitive to palpation, contraction and passive stretch. Acidosis, muscle spasm and microlesions in both connective and muscle tissues may explain the symptoms. However, inflammation appears to be the most common explanation. Interestingly, there is strong evidence that the progression of the exercise-induced muscle injury proceeds no further in the absence of inflammation. Even though unpleasant, DOMS should not be considered as an indicator of muscle damage but, rather, a sign of the regenerative process, which is well known to contribute to the increased muscle mass. DOMS can be associated with decreased proprioception and range of motion, as well as maximal force and activation. DOMS disappears 2–10 days before complete functional recovery. This painless period is ripe for additional joint injuries. Similarly, if some treatments are well known to attenuate DOMS, none has been demonstrated to accelerate either structural or functional recovery. In terms of the role of the inflammatory process, these treatments might even delay overall recovery. © 2004 Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves.
