The present study was designed to investigate the cellular cytogenetic effect of lead poisoning and the therapeutic role of selenium and olive oil as an antioxidant in mouse bone marrow cells. Twenty one female mice, 12 weeks old, and of 20–25 gram weight were used. The female mice which divided into seven groups each group consist of 3 female mice ,the control group: oral giving by 0.9 % normal saline (N.S) daily for 28 days. The treated groups A,B,C,D,E,F: received orally with 50 mg/kg BW lead acetate, 50 mg/kg of lead acetates + o.5 mg/kg of selenium, 50 mg/kg of lead acetates +0.2 CC of olive oil, 100 mg/kg of lead acetates, 100 mg/kg of lead acetates+ o.5 mg/kg of selenium, 100 mg/kg of lead acetates+0.2 CC of olive oil daily for28 days respectively, The administration of different doses of lead acetate caused a significant increase (P

The present study aimed to investigate the protective role of clomiphene citrate on biochemical effects which may result from atrazine exposure. Thirty adult male rats were used, divided randomly and equally into control group, atrazine 50 mg /kg group ,atrazine (ATZ) 50 mg /kg and different doses of clomiphene citrate(CC) 0.5 mg / kg, 0.6 mg / kg and 0.7 mg / kg daily for 30 days. The results showed that serum biochemical affected negatively by atrazine exposure. The atrazine exposure caused a significant elevation in serum total cholesterol , triglycerides ,LDL-C , VLDL-C ,AST , ALT , and creatinine in addition to decrease HDL-C . The CC treatment( 0.6 and 0.7 mg / kg) seems to increase significantly HDL-C and reduced serum total cholesterol , triglyceride ,LDL-C and VLDL-C . Liver and kidney functions were improved by reducing serum AST , ALT and creatinine . The response to the dose of (0.5 mg / kg ) of CC was fluctuating between having positive impacts by reducing significantly the AST , ALT or being ineffective in all lipids profile and serum creatinine

The current study was conducted to evaluate the hematological and biochemical alteration in German shepherd dogs suffering from bacterial urinary tract infection in Diwanyia City Police Dogs division. The total number of examined cases was 7 cases and three bacterial isolates were detected from urine samples. Of the isolated strains 5 (71.42%) were identified as E.coli, 2 (28.57%) identified as mixed infection with E.coli and Streptococcus spp. Infected animals showed hematuria, fever, depression, abdominal pain, loss of appetite and restlessness. Physical examination of the infected urine showed turbidity and red coloration, furthermore chemical examination indicated the presence of RBCs (hematuria +4), bilirubin, Urobilinogen, leukocytes (+2), protein (+2), nitrate (+1) and the specific gravity is 1.030, glucose was negative in all cases. Crystals (amorphous), epithelial cells and casts of different types have been detected in the microscopic examination of the urine. Moreover results also indicated increase in creatinine and urea values, however there was a decrease in the concentration of K+ (potassium) in serum in case (No.5), mild increase in GGT values in the cases (No.5, 3 and 6) have been indicated. On the other hand triglyceride value showed increase in case (No.3) comparing with other cases. The results revealed that the Hb rates have been increased in case (No.5) compared to the other cases. The results revealed that the percentage of bacteriuria in the affected dogs was (57.14%).

The present study had thrown the light on the in vitro antimicrobial potential of the ethanolic extract of three local medicinal plants; Coriandrum sativum (Coriander), Vitis vinifera (Grape seeds), and Zingiber officinale (Ginger) against the growth of pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus isolated from milk of some local cows infected with clinical mastitis. The antibacterial activity was carried out by using agar well diffusion technique in Mueller-Hinton agar. Four concentrations could be prepared from each plant extract, these concentrations were 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/ml. The results were obtained by measured the zone of inhibition around the well that could be exhibited by each plant concentration that followed incubation of bacterial plates and expressed as mean±Standard error (SE). Ethanolic extract of Coriandrum sativum was possessed the strongest antibacterial effect among the tested plants, the results were: 29.44±1.17, 29.22±0.32, 27.77±0.99, and 26.11±1.27 mm at a concentration of 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/ml respectively, Followed by Vitis vinifera extract which showed moderate values recorded as 20.88±0.77, 20.11±0.58, 18.22±0.36, and 20.88±0.35 mm at a concentration of 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/ml respectively. The least antibacterial activity was exhibited by the extract of Zingiber officinale that produced the following inhibition zones; 15.11±0.80, 15.77±1.12, 17.66±0.33, and 17.55±0.44 mm at a concentration of 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/ml respectively. On the other hand, S.aureus was variably susceptible to five of the used standard antibiotics; Lomefloxacin, Erythromycin, Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, and Rifampin. Means of their inhibitory zones were; 29.44±0.41, 23.22±0.46, 21.77±0.36, 19.88±0.42, and 11.11±0.26 mm respectively. Whereas Cefprozil showed no effect against the growth of the tested organism.

This study shows the effects of Testosterone hormone on uterus tissue in female mice. We used twenty laboratory mice (Ten animals for each group). The first groups used as a control by using physiological saline (0.9%) concentration. The second groups were taken the 10mg/kg for 28 days. Biopsy was taken from the animals to examine their tissue histopathologically, Results were seen in uterus form of degradation in Endometerium and bleeding .Deteriorate in epithelial tissue and infiltration in inflammatory cells .

study was conducted to evaluate the usage of dexamethasone (Dx) in the treatment of liver function tests in experimental paraquat (PQ)- induced oxidative stress in male albino rats. Three groups of rats were subjected to this trial, control, PQ group (50 mg/ kg orally) and PQ with Dx (50 mg/ kg orally, 4 mg/ kg ip. Respectively)daily throughout the 15 days. Results revealed that treatment with PQ caused a mortality rate in a ratio of 30%,significantly increased (p≤0.05) of glucose, cholesterol, bilirubin concentrations and alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and amylase activities but the concentrations of both triglycerides and serum proteins were reduced compared with control whereas the treatment of PQ- treated rats with Dx decreased mortality rate (30%) and corrected the activity of serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase enzymes whereas Dx treatment induced an elevation in amylase activityin addition to the elevation of concentrations of total cholesterol, total protein and albumin in comparison with values of PQ- treated rats, Dx did not affect the concentration of glucose. In conclusion, the treatment of PQ- induced toxicity with Dx in rats was efficient in correction of most liver function tests.

In this study, three heavy metals (mercury, nickel and copper) in twenty eight canned fish and meat samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The metal contents, expressed in ppm (mg/ L), varied from 0.01 to 3 ppm in canned fish and from 0.001 to 2 ppm in canned meat for mercury, from 0.0001 to 0.0003 ppm in canned fish and from 0.0001 to 0.0007 ppm in canned meat for a nickel, and from 0.001 to 0.01 ppm in canned fish and from 0.001 to 0.1 ppm in canned meat for copper. The results of this study showed the concentration of mercury in fish and meat samples exceed normal levels, and statistical analysis of results by ANOVA showed significant differences between fish and meat in some samples for mercury

A first case was reported of cutaneous myiasis by old world screw worm Chrysomya bezziana in camels in Basra province south of Iraq in 2006. Camels were brought from Al-Zubair city and then to Basra marshes. Many larvae were isolated from injury in the knee and thigh region which exposed to stress during transportation. Larvae was sent to a laboratory which classified to belong Diptera- Chrysomya bezziana (OWS). The animal was treated by using ammonia 36% , iodine , and antibiotic as spray locally, after that the animal take a rest and the healing occur within three days of treatment. This case considers as the first case report of myiasis by chrysomyia bezziana in camel at Basra province south of Iraq.
