Prostate cancer is the most common type after the age of fifty. It affects males and affects the prostate gland, which protects the function of sperm by producing semen. The current study was designed to evaluate prostate cancer infection effects on some biomarkers such as irisin, Tumor necrosis factor-TNF-α, prostate acid phosphates -PAP, Glutathione-GSH, malondialdehyde-MDA, urea, and creatinine. The study was conducted on 50 males infected with prostate cancer and 30 healthy males (control group) who attended the Baghdad Teaching Hospital –Medical City Center/Baghdad, Iraq, from 20/6/2024 to 1/8/2024. The results of the current research showed a significant elevation in (Irisin, TNF-α, PAP, MDA, urea, and creatinine) concentration and a significant decrease in (GSH) concentration in the serum of patients compared to the healthy subjects in the probability of P≤0.05. Irisin and some variables are important physiological biomarkers that can support the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Samples for the current research were collected from women with cancer in the second stage of infection with breast cancer who were taking two doses of chemotherapy in Kirkuk Governorate for the period from (January to the end of February) of the year 2024. 80 blood samples, whose ages ranged between (25-45) years, were collected from clinic visits. . External samples were divided into two groups: • Patients group: It included (50) samples of blood from women with breast cancer with treatment 2 doses of chemotherapy. • Control group: It included (30) blood samples from healthy women. Then, blood was collected from a group of patients and healthy women and was separated by a centrifuge. Then the studied variables were measured, which included (cancer antigen- CA15-3 , interleukin-10- IL-10 , CXCL12, calcium, zinc, iron, estrogen, progesterone, and Xanthine oxidase). Current research results showed a significant elevated in each of the levels (cancer antigen- CA15-3, interleukin-10, CXCL12, calcium, iron, Estrogen, progesterone, and Xanthine oxidase ) also the result 23 showed a significant decrease in progesterone hormone and zinc level in blood serum of patients with B.C simile to the healthy women

The present research explores the effects of Candida krusei yeast infection and chitosan treatment on rabbit liver and kidney functions. Utilizing male rabbits as a model, the research categorizes them into four distinct groups for clarity: the Candida krusei Infection Group, the Chitosan Treatment Group, the Combined C. krusei and Chitosan Group, and the Control Group. It was found that the C. krusei Infection Group and the Combined C. krusei and Chitosan Group had a significant increase in blood serum glucose levels as compared to the Control Group (P < 0.05). Comparatively, the Chitosan Treatment Group exhibited a significant reduction in glucose levels indicating a neutralizing impact on the hyperglycemia caused by C. krusei. The other finding is that the Group in the Chitosan Treatment 4 demonstrated significantly reduced levels of urea and uric acid in the blood serum than in the Group in the Control, which reflects a likely protection of kidney function (P < 0.05). In relation to protein metabolism, the Chitosan Treatment Group presented an elevation in total plasma protein levels and a reduction in serum albumin concentrations with significant differences (P < 0.05) when compared to the Control Group. The globulin levels analysis, in turn, confirmed these results, displaying a close tendency. Liver tissue sections histological examination reported that a hemorrhage within the parenchyma and hemolysis in the Chitosan Treatment Group, the C. krusei, and Nystatin Treated Groups showed inflammatory infiltrates, and extensive steatosis. The steatosis and lymphocytes infiltration were found in C. krusei Infection Group, in turn the focal lymphocytic infiltration and some necrotic cells were observed in Combined C. krusei and Chitosan Group. Kidney tissues in the Chitosan Treatment Group exhibited glomerular atrophy, while those of the C. krusei and Nystatin-Treated Groups showed lymphocyte infiltration and renal tubule dilation. The C. krusei Infection Group presented with renal tubule laceration and endothelial cell degeneration, whereas the Combined C. krusei and Chitosan Group had glomerular prolapse and early atrophy. All in all, in this study, the effects of C. krusei infection and chitosan therapy on glucose metabolisms, renal function and histological integrity of liver and kidney tissues in rabbits were revealed to be contrasting. The chitosan treatment provided resistance to the rabbits against the systemic effects of the C. krusei infection, showing its prophylactic role in both fungal infections and their systemic consequences. This type of knowledge reinforces the chitosan therapy possibility, and at the same time dictates the necessity of more clinical use and safety studies.

The goal of this study, which was conducted with the patients' prior informed consent, was to determine the levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit in adult patients treated at Salah Aldin Teaching Hospital (SUTH)City, Iraq, from December 2021 to February 2022. There were 61 blood samples collected from the finger pad, and they were all used. Haematocrit and hemoglobin's biochemical composition were determined using the cyanmethemoglobin method and centrifugation. According to the findings, women accounted for 83.6% of the total number of patients, while men made up the remaining patients. Only 11.5% of all patients have low hemoglobin levels, while 83.6% have normal hemoglobin levels. As a result, it is also specified that 90.2% of all patients have normal hematocrit values, while 1.6% of all patients have lower-than-normal hematocrit values. Furthermore, it was discovered that 3.3% of people are overweight. The χ 2 statistical test was used to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the variables BMI, age, and gender. The test results revealed no significant relationship between these variables (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that age, gender, and BMI have no effect on hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. © 2023, King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology.

Our study aims to evaluate the effects of the gold Nanoparticles on some activities of liver functions such as (GOT, GPT) and antioxidant (MDA and GSH) in a rabbit that treated with domperidone. Twenty-five waster female adult rabbit is used in this study and divided for five groups (five animals for each group). The first group is the control group without any treatment. The second group administrated domperidone (0.3) mg/ Kg/BW for three times a day. The third group administrated domperidone (0.3) mg/Kg/BW for three times a day with gold Nano particle at twice a week. The fourth group administrated gold Nano particle at (0, 05) mg/Kg/BW twice a week only. The fifth group administrated gold Nano particle three times a week only. Results of the study are showed GOT enzyme decrease significantly after the 20th day in all study groups as compared with the control group at (P≤0.05), and it decreased after the 30th day. And it increased after the 40th day in the third, fourth and fifth group, while the second group doesn’t show any significant differences at the same time. GPT enzyme showed a significant decrease in all study groups at all times. However, the GPT level decreased in gold Nanoparticle treated groups. MDA showed a significant increase after the 20thday; the third group was showed higher significant as compared with the control group at (P≤0.05), at 30th day, MDA showed significant increases in all study groups except the second group. After40th day, MDA showed they increase significantly in all study groups as compared with the control group. GSH showed a significant decrease after 20th day in all study groups except the fifth group wherever; the fifth group has increased significantly as compared with control group at (P≤0.05), after 30th day

Activia Yogurt® is a yogurt prepared by bacterial fermentation of milk. What makes Activia significantly different from the rest of the dairy species is its probiotics (yeast and bacteria); this type of probiotics is able to survive in the digestive system, especially the large intestine. The objective is to know the effect of Activia Yogurt on the lipid profile, body weight and blood sugar. This study was done in the Department of Pathological Analysis/Al Door Technical Institute/Iraq for the period from November 2016 to April 2017 over 50 samples separated into 2 group (25 samples for control group and 25 sample for testing group), dosage of a group (Treatment Group) of 25 person of Activia Yogurt (200 ml) and the effect of the oral dosage of Activia on the body weight and blood sugar of the body of the treatment group and the observation of changes and results after the dosage and compared with the control group that deals with water instead of Activia. After 30-day dose (Activia Yogurt) of the treatment group, the results showed that the glucose level and body weight decreased at a significant level (P <0.05) compared to control group. The results of cholesterol for control group was 188 mg/dl by 179 for testing group, for Triglyceride the result of control group was 100 mg/dl while for testing group was 91 mg/dl. In addition, the result of HDL and LDL was significant. Blood glucose and body weight was significantly less among treatment group than control group. A significant statistical negative correlation between (body weight, blood glucose) and Activia Yogurt dosage follow up.
