Histochemical study of the effect of heat on the function of male reproductive organs of rats
Authors: Gatie Saad J. 
Published: August 2023

The literatures mentional that the male reproductive organs are under the effect of androgens which secreted from the testes ( Greenspan and Baxter 1994) .
To know the role of scrotum in decreasing of testicular temperature we used twenty mature male rate . The animals were randomly divided into two groups , ten animals each ( Control and treated ) . Both testes of the treated animals sutured to the abdominal wall while the control animals were shamly operated .After one month all animal were killed and the testes , prostate and seminal vesicle were removed and put in liquid nitrogen ( - 196c ) . frozen section made and stained according to the stander histochemical methods . The results showed an increase in acid phosphatase activity in the treated tissues compared with the control . Alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity were unstable , while the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme activity decreased markedly in the treated tissues compared with the control tissues .
The present observation confirmed the role of androgen in regulation of male organs function .

Published: August 2023

Cardiovascular diseases are increasingly recognized contributors to increased morbidity and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Attention to this feature of RA has been drawn by recognition of the key role played by inflammation in atherogenesis. This may be related to an atherogenic lipid profile and endothelial dysfunction. Conventional treatments of RA patient does not greatly affect those risk factors . Moreover , they may aggravate them and carry a potential adverse effects. Quercetin is a versatile flavonoid and has several biological activities that can abolish most of the undesirable effects of the inflammatory process associated with RA. It has well known anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and cardioprotective properties. In this work we investigated the effect quercetin on lipid profile and sICAM-1 in160 RA patient treated with azathioprine for 8 weeks. Patient are divided into 4 groups each group was treated either with azathioprine ( Aza.) combined with different doses of quercetin(500, 1000, 1500mg/day) . In addition, 30 apparently healthy volunteers were participated and served as control group. Blood samples of the patients taken at zero time and after 8 weeks , converted to serum and analyzed for ICAM-1 and lipid profile Results shows a significant ( P>0.05) reduction in serum level of sICAM-1 in all doses tried in this study . Significant reduction in both total cholesterol ( TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) specially at a dose of 1500mg/day quercetin . High density lipoprotein cholesterol had increased in all doses quercetin as well as azathioprine only treated group. The atherogenic index TC/HDL-c ratio had improved in all groups with no significant effect on triglycerides. From this study we conclude that although the treatment of RA patient with azathioprine improve some cardiovascular risk factors specially lipid profile , the addition of quercetin to such patients greatly and significantly improve lipid profile and reduce the level of ICAM-1 which are important risk factors for atherogenesis . It has also concluded that 1500mg/day of quercetin gave an attractive results compared with other doses used in the study.

Authors: Husdfdfsein Alaa Abdul Aziz , AL-Shweely Jameela Radhee 
Published: August 2023

Samples were collected from three hatcheries in the city of Baghdad was chosen at random, for period 3\2005-9\2005,and included samples of the egg shells and paper pads and swabs from the transport vehicles and cloacal swabs from newly chicks for each of the three hatcheries the results were isolation the following bacteria :Salmonella spp ,E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Strept.spp., Enterobacter cloacae and Citrobacter freundii. These isolates showed a variation in the proportion of total isolation between the three hatcheries, as well as variation in the proportion of each type. The hatchery no.(3) was the first in terms of the proportion of total isolation(14,91%),while hatchery no.2 came the second place and then hatchery no.1 at third at the rates of isolation equal to (13,9%),(11,27%) respectively. Rates of total hatchability shows that hatchery No. (2) record the highest percentage of total hatchability by 91%, followed by hatchery No. (1), by 87%, then the hatchery No. (3) by 78%, but from the view of hatch of fertile,(which is more accurate for evaluation) the hatchery No.1 was at higher percentage of (80%) , followed by hatchery No.(2)with percent equal to 76% and hatchery No. (1) with percent equal to 68%, the reason for the differences of these ratios in the three hatcheries may be attributed to different proportion of bacterial contamination and its impact on these hatcheries.

Published: August 2023

The present study was carried out to investigate the protective and treatment effect of pomegranate extract (ellagic acid) to treat the toxic effect of lead acetate. Forty adult male rats were randomly divided into four equal groups. First group kept as control, second group (T1) dosed lead acetate (10 mg/kg B.W.), third group (T2) dosed ellagic acid (100 mg/kg B.W.) plus lead acetate (10 mg/kg B.W.), while the fourth group dosed (200 mg/kg B.W.) of ellagic acid plus lead acetate (10 mg/kg B.W.). Blood samples collected at (2, 4, 6) weeks for measuring the following parameters: serum T3, T4, parathyroid hormone and Ca+2 levels. At the end of the experiment(42 days) six animals of each group were scarified to examine the histological structure of thyroid and parathyroid gland. Results revealed a decrease in thyroid hormones (T3, T4) in lead acetate group (T1) and protective dose of ellagic acid (T2) group at day 28 and 42 days of experiment compared with control group, while treatment dose of ellagic acid (T3) causes a significant increase of thyroid hormones at the two period above compared with lead acetate and protective dose of ellagic acid (T1 and T2) groups. On other hand exposure of rats to lead acetate revealed a decrease in parathyroid hormone and Ca+2 levels compared with control group at 28 and 42 days of experiment for parathyroid hormone and at all period of treatment for Ca+2, also protective and treatment dose of ellagic acid caused elevation of parathyroid hormone at 28, 42 days of experiment compared with T1 group, while treatment dose of ellagic acid resulted in significant increment of Ca+2 levels at second and last period of experiment. It is concluded that the deleterious effect of lead acetate on thyroid and parathyroid gland of rats may be treated by ellagic acid especially in treatment dose which lead to a significant improvement of their functions activity.

Published: August 2023

The present study was designed to provide basic data about the anatomical features of the tongue in adult rams. The tongue was consisting from three parts: apex, body and root. The apex was nearly round with its rounded margin the apex increased gradually in width and thickness and then narrowest in the beginning of the body. The body was larger part of the tongue, begins narrow and then gradually increased in width and thickness until reach into beginning of root and then returns to narrowing. The root was last one and shorter part of tongue, which slopes ventrally and caudally toward the base of the epiglottis, and its width and thickness were nearly equal to the apex. There were five different forms of lingual papillae of tongue of rams, the filiform, fungiform, conical, lenticular and circumvallate papillae distributed on the surfaces of the tongue. The filiform papilla was soft horny threadlike structure inclined toward the posterior of the tongue. It was the smallest in size and most dominant from of pillae. The fungiform papilla was round, convex, mushroom-like papillae. The two forms of papillae were distributed on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the apex and the body of tongue, with the decrease in number and increase in size when directed toward the body of tongue. The conical papilla was conical in shape with several sizes (small, middle, and large) conical papillae, found rostral to the torus linguae. The lenticular papilla was convex lens in shape found in the middle part of torus linguae. The circumvallate papilla was round to oval in shape, surrounded by deep papillary groove and annular pad found on the lateral side to torus linguae arranged in two rows has, V, shape. The three forms papillae (conical, lenticular and circumvallate) were found on the dorsal surface of the caudal part of the body. The dorsal surface of the root of tongue was devoid from any papillae.
