Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a form of therapy that uses light along with special chemicals known as photosensitizers (PS) to treat cancer and many other diseases [1]. The effectiveness of PDT depends on the photophysical and spectral properties of the photosensitizer, the presence of a high quantum yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation [2]. also, the outcome of PDT is largely determined by the pharmacodynamic properties of PS. The main intermediary in PDT is singlet oxygen. As its lifetime is short, its ability to diffuse into cells is limited to 10-55 nm Thus, photodynamic damage to biological structures is observed in a small area around the PS [3]. Therefore, photosensitizer delivery to cellular and tissue targets and its localization in them is important for PDT. Currently, one way of developing photodynamic therapy is through the use of special photosensitizer delivery systems, which increase the selectivity of PS delivery. Examples of such an approach are the use of nanostructured and supramolecular complexes of PS with nanoparticles, polymers, cyclodextrins

Volume 1

The present work was conducted aiming at isolating and diagnosing Toxoplasma gondii from the placentae of infected women and inducing infection in female Swiss albino mice, through intraperitoneal injection resulted in 100% infection rate. Evaluation of malarone and clindamycin, single and synergistic between them in infection of female mice on the tenth day of gestation and delivery and confirmation of congenital infection, treatment was started at the age of one month with the above mentioned drugs. The criteria considered were the number of dead mice, the percentage of survival, and the average number of brain tissue cysts. Treatment with the synergized malarone and clindamycin were used to treat congenitally infected mice, number of death was not reported and the survival rate was 100%. Average numbers of brain tissue cysts are reduced to 5.55 in adult infected mice and the cure rate was 100%. Histopathological effects that occurred in the congenitally affected females, they were the appearance of hyperplasia and introversion of the retina several folds and the presence of scars that connect the retina to the choroid, and the reduction of the visual papilla, and it was noted for the first time by using the Congo red stain, signs of amyloid deposits in the vitreous fluid and in the debris of the lens that appeared irregular and seemed filled with fluid. And fatty materials and debris residues of lentil fibers. It was observed for the first time that the optic nerve was doubled using Mallory's triple stain. As for the brains, the same changes were observed, and amyloidosis appeared using the toludine stain. When using the treatment malaron and clindamycin at a dose of 100 mg/kg synergistically, the effect of infection in the eyes was slight and a noticeable improvement appeared in the brains. As for the histochemistry of stains and their components, and brain, different response were noted between strong +ev control and –ev for those treated with the two drugs malarone and clindamycin at a dose of 200mg/kg with PAS stain and Alician blue stain pH 2.5%. For Von kossa stain and Pearl`s stain, different responses also appeared in the eyes and the brains.For Feulgen stain, used to detect apoptosis good results was obtained in eyes, brains .

Alterations in Antioxidants and Trace Element with Interleukin 6 Level in β Thalassemia Major Patients
Feb 28, 2020

Journal Medico-Legal Update

DOI doi. 10.37506/v20/i1/2020/mlu/194655

β-Thalassemia major is an inherited blood disorder caused by drop or total absence of beta globin chains. Patients with this blood disorder are repeatedly needed to blood transfusion to survive. There are many experimental and clinical evidence that suggested that the oxidative stress and free radical plays an important role in thalassemia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the level of antioxidant enzymes and trace element with interleukin 6 in P thalassemia major patients. The blood samples were obtained from 50 patients (30 with β-thalassemia major and 20 healthy controls).The serum levels of MDA, GSH, Vitamin (E, C), trace element (Fe, Zn, Cu, Se) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPx) and interleukin 6 were anaslysed using conventional methods. The results showed that the level of MDA, Fe, Cu and interleukin 6 were significantly increased (P<0.05), whereas the activities of GSH, Vitamin (E, C), trace element (Zn, Se) and antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GPx) were decreased significantly (P<0.05) in β-thalassemia major patients compared with healthy control. This results suggested that the β thalassemia patients disease activity and progress could be investigated by determining the oxidative stress marker, trace element and interleukin 6 levels.

The Effect Of Some Isolated Extracts From The Plant Plantago Lanceolata L. On Biology Of Cowpea Weevil Callosobruchus Maculatus (Fab.)
Nov 1, 2009

This study was conducted to test the effect of Aqueous , Alcoholic , Acetone and Glycoside leaf extracts of (Plantago lanceolata L.) on some biological aspects of cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus (Fab.)) by rearing it on treated seed plant chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.) with concentrations (0 , 2.5 , 5 , 10%) of these extracts . The result showed that alcoholic extract at concentration 10% decreased significantly of number eggs liad by female (12.66 egg\femal) hating ratio (58.38%), and increased larval stage period (19.00 days) and pupal stage period (8.33 days) .Also increased mortality ratio, 24.76% for larvae and 11.42% for pupae .The number of adults emerged and percentage ratio of female fecundity was 4.33 insect 37.32%, respectively at 10% concentration ,while the aqueous extract was the lowest in its effect on the number of eggs laid by female which was 25 egg/female at concentration 10% ,while the acetone and glycoside clearly extracts effects gived and significantly on different insect stages
