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. © 2024 Cellular and Molecular Biology Association. All rights reserved.

The current study included diagnosing types of ectoparasites on five types of fish of Tigris River passing through Al-Dour district/Iraq, and the study was conducted at College of Education/University of Samarra and Tikrit Universit/College of Education for women/Department of Biology. A total of 772 fish included five species, and it was found that they were infected with 6 types of parasites with different rates of infection, which included two types of protozoa: Trichodina mutabilis and recorded in four types of hosts for the first time in Iraq with a rate of 9.0% in Leuciscus vorax and Barbus luteust fish, and a rate of 6.7% In Tenualosa ilisha fish, and the percentage of 6.0% in the fish of Cyprinion macrostomum, and the sporozoa Myxobolidae sharpeyi was recorded in four new hosts locally in Iraq from Cyprinion carpio, Tenualosa ilisha, Leuciscus vorax and C. macrostomum, and the infection rates were 10.0%, 6.1%, 9.0%, and 6.8%, respectively.. And two types of trematodes: Dactylogyrus vastator, with an infestation rate of 11.9% in B. luteust and 9.0% in C. carpio, and G. gussevi. Five new hosts were recorded locally in Iraq of C. carpio, B. luteust, L. vorax, T. ilisha, and C. macrostomum, with a rate of 12.0%, 9.6%. 8.1%, 6.7%, and 5.1%, respectively. And two types of Crustaceans, namely, Pseudulamproglena annulata, the infection rate was recorded only in C. carpio 12.0%, and Lamproglena pulchella, where the infection rate was 12.0% in B. luteust and 5.0% in C. carpio.
