The objectives of the current study were conducting a statistical study to find out the number of men with primary and secondary infertility, immune infertility, and unexplained infertility in the city of Tikrit. Isolation and identification of Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, and the study of some patterns of sensitivity to antibiotics of the isolated bacteria. The results showed that the percentage of primary infertility was the highest among infertility diseases, as the percentage reached 57%, while the lowest percentage was for immunological infertility, as it amounted to 7%. While the percentage of secondary and unexplained infertility was 15% and 31%, respectively. About the bacteriological study, the results showed two types of isolates, single bacterial isolates (52%), mixed bacterial isolates (38%). Percentages of isolates from E. coli and Klebsiella spp. and Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. were 100%, 12%, 18%, and 10%, respectively. E. coli showed total (100%) resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and ampicillin. 50% resistance to Nalidixic. Otherwise, Escherichia coli showed resistance of 40%, 20%, 60%, 20% and 50% to Imipenem, Amikacin, Gentamicin, Azithromycin and Cefepime respectively. Klebsiella showed total (100%) resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and ampicillin. 40% resistance to Nalidixic. Otherwise, Klebsiella spp. showed resistance of 20%, 10%, 10%, 40% and 20% to imipenem, amikacin, gentamicin, azithromycin and cefepime respectively. Staphylococcus aureus showed complete resistance to penicillin, oxacillin and cefoxitin. 10%, 0%, 30%, 30%, 0%, 90% and 50% are resistant to gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, erythromycin, azithromycin, rifampicin, trimethoprim and ciprofloxacin respectively. Streptococcus spp. completely resistant to penicillin, oxacillin and cefoxitin. 30%, 0%, 20%, 10%, 0%, 70% and 30% are resistant to gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, erythromycin, azithromycin, rifampicin, trimethoprim and ciprofloxacin respectively.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, gram-negative bacteria, able to colonize such injuries, gammaproteobacterium, found in different environmental such as soil and water. The sepsis of burn wounds causing a morbidity and mortality are complex microenvironments where infections by bacterial pathogens such as P. aeruginosa. The P. aeruginosa pathogenicity is intercede by its capacity to produce a big range of virulence factors which include biofilm formation and it is have resistance to antibiotics, environmental stresses and disinfectants, and heavy metals. The losses of the skin barrier and tissue destruction are part of the most devastating form of trauma and require medical care to maintain homeostasis.

The importance of this appraisal is on the utilization and possible of entomopathogenic roundworms (EPNs) as biotic regulator factors in maintainable nutrition manufacture transversely an extensive variety of agronomic and extra supplies. To help by the consideration of the possibility of EPNs in supportable nutriment construction, this evaluation to offers impressions on EPN biology and environmental science, conglomerate manufacture and implementation expertise, and communications through additional organization gears. Primary find out in the 1920s, their trade as biopesticides in the 1980s was attended and pursued via exponential development in investigate on their implementation, biology, and ecosystem sought via a more increase in extra rudimentary investigate regions then the middle-2000s. This assessment précises important advancement completes in the study and implementation of EPN in insect pest administration in significant nutrition yields inclusive groves, minor fruitiness, corn, vegetative, corm yields, glasshouses, and bourgeons. Noteworthy agents impacting the achievement of EPN caramelization are similarly argued. An increasing benefit in substitutes to artificial insecticides and in biological cultivation unbolts chances intended for EPNs, nonetheless, EPNs will necessity to be additionally enhanced by a concern to effectiveness, decreased charges, and facility of utilizing. Furthermore, they're probable to reprocess harbor inhabitants and seduce them to be more invested for an extended period of pest repression.

Background: Ferula assa-foetida L has several therapeutic effects such as anticancer traits. The aim of this study was investigation of anticancer effect of Ferula assa-foetida gum alcoholic extract against CT-26, HT-29, SW742 and WiDr colorectal cancer cell lines. Methods: The hot extract was obtained by soxhlet using 70% ethanol solvent. Various cell lines were cultured in DMEM medium and in vitro anticancer effects using MTT assay was performed. A dilution (5, 10, 25, 50 and 100µg/mL) of the gum extract were subjected to cell lines in triplicate. and incubated for 24, 48 and 72hrs. The main phytochemicals within the gum extract were detected through Gas and mass chromatography. Results: cytotoxicity rates were observed at 50µg/mL and >100µg/mL, respectively for all cell lines. And morphological change was noticed after 72 hr. application of the gum extract on SW742 cell line. The compounds found in the Ferula assa-foetida L mostly included oxygen-containing sesquiterpenes (45.25%) and sesquiterpenes (30.45%). Conclusion: the viability decreasing was observed for all examined colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines including SW742, CT-26, HT-29 and WiDr lines depend on time and concentration of the applied extract of F. assa-foetida gum. The potent cytotoxicity was observed in 50-100 µg/Ml. Furthermore, a morphological change was detected after 72 hr. on SW742. A high percentages of anticancer compounds which were detected within the gum extract supports the idea of purifying these components and considering them in cancer drugs, phytochemistry.

Innovations on new cassava varieties are experiencing limited dissemination and sometimes remain unknown to development and producers. The present study is part of the popularization of these new varieties of cassava for the production of Attoukpou, a local dish. This study was conducted to evaluate the importance of certain improved cassava varieties in the production of attoukpou, a local food. To carry out this study, It was determined some physico-chemical and sensory parameters of Attoukpous from different varieties of cassava. Four varieties of cassava were used. It is about three improved varieties which are namely Bocou 2, 15(239)29, 15(127)21 and the traditional variety which is Bonoua. The results show differences on some physico-chemical components and sensory characteritics of Attoupkous. The pH vary from 3.89 to 4.76. Reducing sugar content varies from 0.24 to 0.66. Acidity vary from 0.13 to 0.34. The sensory test shows that this attoupkous produced were appreciated with overall scores ranging from 5 to 5.39. Regarding the level of appreciation, this Attoupkous had a very pronounced smell of fresh attiéké (7.65 to 6.50) and more fibers resulting in scores ranging from 6.76 to 7.018. As for the fermented aroma parameter, it was less pronounced. The Attoupkou produced from varieties with colored flesh are as well appreciated by consumers as those of the local variety (Bonoua).

Syzygium cumini and Achras zapota leaves were easily available and commonly used in our day –to-day life. The present study aimed at the in-vitro comparative study of anthelmintic activity of aqueous extracts of leaves of Syzygium cumini, Achras zapota and mixed. The fruits were extracted separately with distilled water by maceration method .The various concentrations of the extract (50,100, 200mg/ml) respectively were screened for their anthelmintic activity using Pheritima posthuma. The activity was comparable with the standard drug albendazole. When the concentrations of the extract are increased, a gradual increase in anthelmintic activity is observed. The study involved the determination of time of paralysis (P) and time of death (D) of the worms. Aqueous extract of Syzygium cumini, Achras zapota and mixed showed anthelmintic activity but mixed extract was more efficient anthelmintic activity against Indian earthworms. The data were found statistically significant by using one way ANOVA (P< 0.0001).

The study was carried out to detection of H.pylori in (218) patients who attended two teaching hospitals in Baghdad. The diagnosis is done by Immunochromatography methods. Stools and blood samples were taken from each patient as well as other (30) healthy control matching in age. The study included measurement the Levels of Interleukin-17, Interleukin-23, and Alkaline phosphatase in sera of patients and control .The result indicated presence of H pylori antigen in 115 cases 59 cases of males and 51 of females , Also, the result indicated increasing levels of IL-17 and IL-23 and Alkaline phosphatase in patients sera in comparison with healthy control.
