Published: May 2023

Background: Dystrophinopathies are the commonest forms of muscular dystrophy and comprise clinically recognized forms, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD). Mutations in the dystrophin gene which consist of large gene deletions (65%), duplications (5%) and point mutations (30%) are responsible for reducing the amount of functional dystrophin protein in skeletal muscle fibers. This study concentrate mainly at the spectrum of deletions in the 'distal hot spot' region of the DMD/BMD gene in Iraqi DMD/BMD patients using multiplex PCR technique
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the rate, and distribution of deletions in 10 exons of Dystrophin gene in a group of Iraqi dystrophinopathy patients using the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (MPCR).
Patients materials and methods: This is a case prospective study which include 27 clinically diagnosed DMD/BMD patients and six suspected carriers in Medical city /Baghdad . A written consent was obtained from each family for going the research as well as ethical committee approval. Forty six apparently healthy individual were included as a control group. Blood samples were collected in 5-6 ml EDTA tubes by venepuncture. The DNA was extracted by using the Wizard Genomic purification kit (Promega/USA), and the quantity was estimated by UV-spectrophotometer (Cecil CE7800) . Ten exons of the dystrophin gene were examined ( 19 ,45 ,46 ,47 ,48 ,49 ,50 ,51 ,52,53) using synthesized primers with complementary sequences and set in five different multiplex PCR groups. The products of PCR amplifications were subjected to electrophoresis and visualized by The UVCI140 & 200 series (advanced CCD gel imaging system from Major Science. It consists of a CCD camera, UV transilluminator UV- light system). All done in college of medicine /Baghdad university.
Results: The rate (relative frequency) of subjects with any positive exonal deletion (among the10 selected and tested exons was significantly higher (85.2%) among patients compared to that among the suspected carriers (33.3%).The distribution of exonal deletions among patients compared to suspected carriers were statistically significant. The frequency of deletions detected in male patients (~82%) was higher than frequencies mentioned in the other studies of comparison. The control group show no deletion in all tested exons.
Conclusions: Multiplex PCR technology was utilized to demonstrate the frequency of 10 exons deletions in a limited group of Iraqi DMD/BMD patients. The overall distribution of deletion mutations in the distal ‘hot spot’ region was higher than that of DMD/BMD cases investigated elsewhere. The study also serves as a good starting point for further investigations into the genetic aspects of the Iraqi DMD/BMD population.

Published: May 2023

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders leading to infertility. Majority of women with PCOS have insulin resistance and elevated hemoglobin A1c.The presence of thyroid dysfunction may affect the levels of HbA1c and the results of ovulation induction programs.
Objectives: To evaluate the level of serum hemoglobin A1c according to the type of thyroid dysfunction in polycystic ovary patients during ovarian stimulation trials.
Patients and Methods: Eighty three polycystic ovary patients were enrolled in this study, attending the infertility clinic in Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, in the period between November 2012 and May 2013. After thorough history and examination blood samples were withdrawn for the estimation of LH, FSH, testosterone, prolactin, TSH, T3, T4 and A1C in day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle, Progesterone was determined in day 21 of the cycle. Ultrasound was done also at cycle day 3 for antral follicles measurements. After diagnosing PCOS the patients were divided into 3 groups, euthyroid group (control), hypothyroid and hyperthyroid groups. Ovulation induction treatment was given and ultrasound was done at the day of hCG injection.
Results: There was no significant difference between control and patients groups regarding age (26.31 ± 5.04 Vs 27.17 ± 5.76) and BMI (31.7 ± 5.69Vs 29.25 ± 6.28).HbA1c level was significantly different between the control and patients group with a significant positive correlation between HbA1c and TSH. In clomiphene citrate treated groups, Hb A1c level, the number of antral follicles and the size of follicles at day of hCG injection were not significantly different between the patients and control groups.
Conclusions: HbA1c level is significantly affected by thyroid dysfunction in PCOS patients as it is higher in the Hypothyroid group and lower in the Hyperthyroid group. Using Clomiphene citrate in PCOS does not significantly increase the mean size of follicles after ovarian stimulation in patients with thyroid dysfunction from that in Euthyroid ones.

Published: May 2023

The formation and expansion of gullies in Rafingora community, northern sector of the Bida Basin, Nigeria was investigated. This was aimed at determining the controlling factors for gully development in the area, using field gully parameter measurements, hydrogeological mapping and geotechnical investigation of soils from gully sites. U-shaped gullies were mapped with sliding, slumping and block fracturing as the main modes of gully propagation. Relief is gentle; slope angles range from 1.58° to 1.96°, indicating little or no influence of elevation on gully development. Gullies were found to be deeper than 3m, with drainage area of more than 30m. Depth to water in open wells ranges from 5.5m in the north-eastern part to about 16.4m in the south-western part. Gullies in the north-eastern side are mostly shallower than the water table, contrary to the situation in the south-western part. This shows a direct relationship between water table elevation and gully propagation and is further exacerbated by the relatively high average hydraulic of soils. The soils have low plasticity, cohesion, angle of internal friction (AIR) and maximum dry density (MDD). A combination of these poor geotechnical properties makes the soils friable and crumbles easily when in contact with water and offers very little resistance to erosion. Conclusively, gully development in Rafingora is influenced more by bottom erosion due to high hydraulic conductivity and seepage forces, rather than by overland runoff. Reclamation attempts may consider lowering groundwater levels as a major strategy for erosion control in the area.

Published: May 2023

The enhancement of near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) has now become one of the research hotspots in the fields of thermal management and imaging due to its ability to improve the performance of near-field thermoelectric devices and near-field imaging systems. In this paper, we design three structures (multilayer structure, nanoporous structure, and nanorod structure) based on high-entropy alloys to realize the enhancement of NFRHT. By combining stochastic electrodynamics and Maxwell-Garnett's description of the effective medium, we calculate the radiative heat transfer under different parameters and find that the nanoporous structure has the largest enhancement effect on NFRHT. The near-field heat transfer factor (q) of this structure (q = 1.40×109 W/ (m2•K)) is three times higher than that of the plane structure (q = 4.6×108 W/ (m2•K)), and about two orders of magnitude higher than that of the SiO2 plate. This result provides a fresh idea for the enhancement of NFRHT and will promote the application of high-entropy alloy materials in near-field heat radiation.

Published: May 2023

The Indo-Australian genus Caltoris has over 15 species distributed from India through south China and SE Asia into New Guinea and Solomon Islands. Based on wing colouration, characters of male genitalia, and early larval stages on the host plant Phragmites karka, a new subspecies of Caltoris bromus (Leech, 1894), Caltoris bromus sadasiva ssp. nov., is described from the coastal lakes and mangrove associated swamps of Kerala, southern India on the western slopes of the Western Ghats. This is the first record of C. bromus from Western Ghats and Peninsular India. This extends the distribution range of the species from NE India to south-western India, adding it to the butterfly fauna of the Western Ghats.

Objectives: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most prevalent autosomal recessive disorder among Caucasians. Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause this pathology. We, therefore, aimed to describe the CFTR mutations and their geographical distribution in Iran.Method: The mutation spectrum for 87 families from all Iranian ethnicities was collected using ARMS PCR, Sanger sequencing, and MLPA.Results: Mutations were identified in 95.8% of cases. This dataset revealed that the most frequent mutations in the Iranian population were F508del, c.1000C&gt;T, c.1397C&gt;G, c.1911delG, and c.1393-1G&gt;A. In addition, we found weak evidence for Turkey being the possible geographical pathway for introducing CFTR mutations into Iran by mapping the frequency of CFTR mutations.Conclusion: Our descriptive results will facilitate the genetic detection and prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis within the Iranian population.

Published: May 2023

BackgroundCurrent evidence on management of impulse control disorders (ICDs) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains scarce, and exploring modifiable risk factors is crucial.ObjectiveWe evaluated the profiles of ICDs in PD patients and aimed to determine the associations between ICDs, metabolic syndrome components and other clinical features.MethodsWe enrolled patients diagnosed with PD in this study and conducted comprehensive clinical assessments.ResultsWe recruited 39 PD patients with ICDs and 66 PD patients without ICDs. Out of the 39 patients with ICDs, 19 (48.7%) had one impulse control disorder, while 20 (51.3%) had two or more. The most commonly reported symptom of ICDs was compulsive eating (48.7%). Significant differences were observed between the PD patients with and without ICDs in terms of their HbA1c levels, history of diabetes mellitus, dopamine agonist use, levodopa equivalent dose of dopamine agonists (LED DA), and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) scores. HbA1c levels were significantly higher in the PD patients with compulsive eating. Stepwise logistic regression analyses were performed with the dependent variables of ICDs (yes/no) and compulsive eating (yes/no). Among the 105 PD patients, those with ICDs exhibited higher levels of HbA1c, HAMD score and LED DA than those without ICDs (p &lt; 0.01). Among 39 PD patients with ICDs, those with compulsive eating exhibited higher levels of HbA1c (OR = 2.148, 95% CI = 1.004–4.594, p &lt; 0.05). Among 105 PD patients, those with compulsive eating exhibited higher levels of HbA1c, LED DA and HAMD score (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThis study provides insights into the profiles of ICDs in PD patients and their associations with various clinical features. Compulsive eating was the most common ICDs symptom reported. Notably, HbA1c levels were found to be higher in patients with compulsive eating, indicating that poor blood glucose control may be a potential risk factor for ICDs in PD. However, it should be noted that the higher HbA1c levels could also be a consequence of compulsive eating rather than a causal factor for ICDs in PD. Further research is needed to confirm the modifiable risk factors for ICDs in PD.
