Abstract
The current study was carried out to investigate the protective effects of ethanolic extract of Saussurea lappa on paracetamol induced toxicity in female rabbits. Eighteen female rabbit adult were divided into three groups each (group/6 rabbits). First group (negative control) was administered distilled water for 14 day. Second group (positive control) was administered paracetamol at dose 300 mg/kg B.W orally for 14 day. Third group was administered paracetamol at dose 300 mg/kg B.W orally and treated with ethanolic extract of Saussurea lappa at dose 300 mg/kg B.W orally for 14 day. The animals were sacrificed and blood samples were collected from heart by cardiac puncture. These samples were used for the measurement of biochemical parameter like ALT, AST, TP and Albumin as well as hormonal assay in addition to histological examination for liver, ovary and uterus. The obtained results showed a significant increase (P⩽ 0.05) in ALT, AST and significant decrease (P⩽ 0.05) in TP, Albumin, FSH and LH level in control positive group compared with control negative group while the results showed a significant decrease (P⩽ 0.05) in ALT, AST and increase TP, Albumin, FSH and LH level in rabbits treated with ethanolic extract of Saussurea lappa. Histological studies showed many pathological changes in liver, ovary and uterus in control positive group but in the Saussurea lappa group the histopathological changes near to the normal status. The protective effects of Saussurea lappa extract on paracetamol induce toxicity resulting in improvement effect on liver and reproductive system could be attributed to their antioxidant actions.

AbstractChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disease, associated with a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and chromosome 22, lead to the formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene (Philadelphia chromosome). This fusion gene is believed to play golden role in the initial development of CML with constitutive tyrosine kinase activation. Successful use of tyrosine kinase inhibiters (TKIs) play a role in improve survival and increase prevalence of CML, but un fortunately mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain may cause, or contribute to increase, resistance to TKIs in CML patients. This study was designed to assess the association of five most common BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations (T315I, M351T, E255K, M244V and E255V) with resistance state of CML patients on TKIs in Iraqi Middle Euphrates region. A retrospective case-control study in which 85 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (45 patients as cases group and 40 patient as control group) were selected from three hemato-oncology centers in middle Euphrates in Iraq during the period from January 2016 till October 2016 out of a total of 240 CML patients ( 108 male and 132 female) who were registered during this period in these three centers and all patients on TKI (Imatinib and Nilotinib). Venous blood sampling done for BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations screening. four patients from cases group (4/45) were carriers of one of five selected ABL kinase domain mutations and no one of control group. T315I mutation was detected in 3/45 (6.6 %) of resistant patients, with a significant risk association to develop resistance to TKI therapy (odd ratio and C. I. ) (6.67, 0.3340 -133.2255). E255V was detected in 1/45 ( 2.2 %) and also had significant risk association to develop resistance to TKIs( odd ratio, C.I.) (2.73, 0.1081 -68.9424). No one of these mutation had significance correlation with demographic or hematological features. M351T, E255K and M244V were not detected in any one of our study groups CML patients. T315I and E255V among five ABL kinas domain mutations were detected in our CML patients with resistance to TKIs. All of them may play a role in development variable degree of resistance to first and second generation TKIs weather primary or secondary.T315I mutation is most common mutation within BCR-ABL domain kinase gene.

AbstractDue to continuous decline of water discharge in southern Iraq, the need arises to use ground water as alternate source for water required for different purposes in which it suppose to be clean and free of pollutants such as, petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, pesticides, …, etc. Within this study, ten well’s of water spread in Southern part of Iraq, two in each site represented by Safwan (1 and 2), Zubair (3 and 4), Khor Al-Zubair (5 and 6), Al-Burjisiah (7 and 8), and Shuaibah (9 and 10) were investigated to estimate their contents of heavy metals. The collected water samples from the selected well’s were analyzed for total heavy metals: Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn, on a monthly basis for the period Jan. - Dec. 2015. Atomic absorption spectroscopy technique was adopted for the determination of heavy metal concentrations. All studied metals are present in the water of wells’ spread in Southern part of Basrah Province of Iraq. Certain metals present in little amounts (µg/l) in the range 0 - 0.5649 for Pb, 0 - 4.3909 for Ni, 0 - 32.0170 for Cu, and 0 - 8.5486 for Cd, while other metals were higher in the range 0 - 107.9698 for Mn, 4.336 - 312.1651 for Fe, and 11.982 - 439.3581 for Zn. Fe and Zn are exist in all wells’ and during all periods of study. As a mean values the trends of heavy metals in well’ water of southern Iraq is as follows: Zn>Fe>Mn>Cd>Cu>Ni>Pb. High concentrations of studied heavy metals were recorded in wells’ no. 7&8 at Burjisiah and 9 &10 at Shuaibah due to proximity to fields of oil production and transportation. Moreover, high levels of heavy metals in the wells’ waters at studied, area were recorded during the rainy months: Jan., Feb., Mar., April as well as May and June which indicates that rain water is a major source for pollution by heavy metals in the ground water at Southern Iraq.

AbstractThe Alton Kopri Basin is an important and significant water basin in Kirkuk governorate where most of the area demand like drinking, agricultural, grazing, and industrial are depending on it. the basin consist of two main aquifers the upper aquifer formed by Quaternary deposits and the lower confined aquifer formed by Muqdadyi and Bai Hassan formations, the hydrological conditions for the lower aquifer changed laterally from confined to semi-confined down to unconfined from the center of the basin to northeast of the area. Flow direction from northeast to northwest coincident with topographic elevation trend. The annual groundwater recharge estimated by chloride mass balance method is (124 mm).It is important to assess the potential of ground water for pollution. For this purpose intrinsic vulnerability was assessed using SINTACS model with the aid of geographic information system (GIS) techniques. The final results show that two zones moderate and high vulnerability classes dominant the study area in the case of normal scenario occupied area are 423 km2and 649 km2respectively, the relevant scenarios represents with two categories, moderate category occupy 491 km2and high category occupy 549 km2. Three zones low, moderate, and high characterizes the nitrate scenario with 77 km2, 523 km2and 440 km2respectively, the SINTACS is the most subjective because of the wide range of the rating of some parameters. The high vulnerability zone exists in the most part of the basin center, where the unconfined upper aquifers exist. Accordingly, the impact of aquifer media, soil texture, and vadose zone is the most effective parameters in SINTACS model.

Enhanced Oil Recovery in Iraqi Limestone Formation by Intermittent Injection of Xanthan.
Authors: Qays Haider , Ahmed Ruya 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Enhanced oil recovery consists of three major methods which are miscible Method, thermal method and chemical method. Polymer flooding is considered as one of the chemical method which is economical compared to other methods. The main objective of this project is to determine the optimum polymer concentration that will bring in the most recovery of a large full-field flooding project at Ahdeb oil field. Thus, the (1) polymer concentration, (2) polymer solution viscosity, and (3) polymer injection rate affects towards oil recovery are investigated. This investigation will solely base on the outcome from the Simulator. The main difficulty in the recovery of oil is the viscosity of oil is higher than injection fluid viscosity, which makes displacement by a low-cost fluid, such as water or gas; inefficient on account of the “unfavorable” mobility ratio (i.e. mobility of the injected fluid is greater than the mobility of the oil). Since improvement in the mobility ratio is the ultimate goal, viscosity of the injected fluid is increased by addition of soluble polymer. The polymer concentrations were varied so that different polymer solution viscosity can be injected into the model. Apart from improvement in the mobility ratio, average pressure of the reservoir will also be maintained for as long as possible, which would lead to an improvement in the oil recovery. In accordance to that, the injection rates of displacing fluid play an important role in maintaining Average reservoir pressure and also the period of polymer flooding. The scope of the study will mainly focus on the polymer injection-water cut relationship. The research methodology used in this study is by varying polymer concentration, polymer solution viscosity and the polymer injection rate, the resulting cumulative oil production and average reservoir pressure will be taken into consideration for each case.From the optimized model, it shows that increment in polymer solution viscosity (increment in polymer solution concentration) increases the oil recovery, but when it exceeds its optimum point, oil recovery stabilized. There are a total of six cases run in this study concerning the polymer solution concentration. It proves that the addition of polymer concentration can give additional recovery up to a certain level, before it maintained. Adjusting the injection rate will be constrained by polymer concentration to maintain the injection bottom-hole pressure below formation fracture pressure since higher concentration requires more energy to move the polymer consequently increase the injection bottom hole pressure. In summary, Polymer flooding allows more oil recovered from the mature oil fields to maintain high oil production. If verified by experiment, this model of polymer behavior may have impact on reducing the residual oil saturation and consequently increase the economic life of the fields.
