Authors: Arrak Jawad K. , Jwad Bassim M. , Mohammed Suad Abadul-Kareem 
Published: August 2023

Objective :- The aims of the present study are to determine the toxicopathological and pathophysiological effects of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), with measurement residual quantity of CCl4 in liver tissue by (HSGC) method. Methodology :- 40 Swiss strain white mice were used, average weigh about 30 –32 g , divided into three groups, the T1 and T2 group were administrated with (100 and 200 mg/kg/body weight CCl4 respectively , given via intraperitoneal injection two does weekly for 40 day). While the 3rd group served as control. Clinical signs were reported during the course of the study, then at day 40 post treatment , all animal were sacrificed, blood were collected at 20 and 40 days of treatment period for biochemical test and post mortem examination was done and any gross lesions were reported, liver section was taken for pathophysiological examination, also for measurement residual accumulated in tissue by Head-Space Gas Chromatographic analysis (HSGC) method. Results :- All results showed that CCl4 caused significant increase of serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activity. Histopathological picture of liver, showed damage of liver parenchyma, disappear arrangements of hepatocyte, loss of hepatic cord, with congestion and dilatation of blood vessel also coagulative necrosis and apoptotic cells. Infiltration of inflammatory cells (macrophages &lymphocyte). Also high quantity from CCl4 was residual in hepatic tissue. Conclusion :- The present study investigated that the CCl4 affected on the liver tissue, and causes histopathological lesion with elevation of liver enzymes specially ALT& AST , with accumulative effect in liver tissue after measurement by GC system. And the degree of influence depended on the concentration of the toxic dose .

Published: August 2023

The present study aimed to investigate the molecular epidemiology and resistance patterns of S. Ohio isolates. All the Ohio isolates were resistant to more than three of the antibiotics, upto 10 antimicrobial agents. Overall, the highest proportions were found for resistance to the following agents: Tetracycline (100%), Nalidixic acid (94.7%), Doxycycline (94.7%), low level resistance to Ciprofloxacin (89.4%),Kanamycin (84.2%), Sulphafurazole (78.9%), and Co-Trimoxazole(52.6%).A total of 11 (DI = 0.958) antimicrobial resistance patterns were observed among 19 isolates of S. Ohio, with a MAR index value ranged between 0.2 to 0.43. The frequency of resistance to Te/Cip/Na/Dox was found in 17 (90%) of the 19 MDR S. Ohio isolates. Genotyping of S. Ohio isolates using 10-mer arbitrary primer, p1254 revealed five RAPD types, denoted by English letters from A to E yielding DI of 0.53, whereas RAPD analysis with primer OPA-4 discriminated only four patterns which assigned F to I (figure), yielding DI of 0.44. When the results of RAPD (with two primers) and antibiotic susceptibility tests are combined, 19 isolates of S. Ohio could be divided into 12 different profiles (DI=0.97). The finding of this study indicated that the broiler chicken can serve as a zoonotic reservoir of MDR bacteria which can be transmitted to human. This is an important implication for human health, because infections with MDR bacteria are difficult to treat and often requires expensive and long term therapy. The RAPD technique can be a useful tool for the analysis of S. Ohio strains. The method might be used as easy, faster, and cost-effective tool for molecular epidemiology research in each laboratory.

The result showed that Brucella abortus more sensitive for antimicrobial activity alcoholic extract of Menthe pulegium and equal to tri mixed alcoholic extracts and di mixed, one of( Cuminum cyminum and Menthe pulegium), Cuminum cyminum alcoholic extract and Thymus vulgaris alcoholic extract that showed zone inhibitions of (38.66, 26.66 , 24, 19.33, 8.66) mm respectively. E. coli was found to be sensitive for di mixed alcoholic extract of (Menthe pulegium and Thumus vulgaris) rcoreded zone inhibition 26.66mm although sensitive from di mixed of (Cuminum cyminum and Thumus vulgaris) alcoholic extract by zone inhibition 17.33mm while Cuminum cyminum alcoholic extract showed zone inhibition of 9.33mm. Bacteria Salmonella entritidis was found only sensitive for di mixed of (Cuminum cyminum and Thumus vulgaris) alcoholic extract recorded zone inhibition 16.66mm.

This study was conducted with73 cattle in different region of Basrah governorate with typical clinical symptoms of FMD from April to July 2013 in Basrah,Iraq.Blood ,saliva and vesicle fluid from the affected animals were collected and tested by ELISA and RT-PCR.Collected sera were tested for antibodies against FMDV using a commercialELISA. Antibodies to FMDV were detected at an overall prevalence rateof 94.5 %. There was no significant seropositivity ratio variation in relation to sex and age.RT-PCR base detection of FMDV for primary and serotype specific diagnosis was done with( universal primer sets 1F / 1R, A- 1C612 and O- ARS4 ) with expected band of(328 ,865 and1301 bp respectively). Universal primer pair 1F/1R detected FMD in 55 out of 73(75.3%), of these 37 (92.5%) Females and 18 (62.1%) males samples, with high significantstatisticaldifference (p<0.01)between males and females in the PCR positivity ratio and there was no positivesamples of FMDV Universal primer in suspect seropositive cases .The tested samples with positive universal primer were amplified with specific primers A-IC612 in 15( 27.3%) and nil for serotypeO- ARS4.,. The circulation of Serotype A was higher in the males compared to the females with a ratio of 33.3% (6/18) but this differencewas not statisticaly significant( p > 0.05) .The statistical analysis showed high significant differences (P>0.01) between animals that tested for Universal primer in relation to age. Out of all animals that tested positive for Universal primer the age group<1-4 year realized a ratio of 58.6 %while ratio of age group >4-8 year was 95%. Serotype A circulation was not significantly differed (P>0.05) between the tested animals in relation to age with overall ratio 27.3% (15/55) and higher ratio (31.6%, 12/38) was observed in the older animals compare with (17.7%, 3/17) in younger.
