This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of Mentha longifolia supplemented to broilers on some physiological parameters represented by hematological characteristics . A total of 90 chick of broiler faobre strain from IPA center for agricultural researches were used at one day old . The birds at 4th day old , were randomly assigned into three groups . Each group consisted of thirty birds . The control groub ( c ) was not treated , T1 group treated with aqueous extract 1 ml / day of concentration 0.25 (gm / ml water) and T2 group was treated with aqueous extract 1 ml / day of 0.125 gm/ml concentration and for eight weeks . All groups were fed the same commercial basal ration of broiler and the same environmental condition and vaccinations were allowed to each group . The results of blood samples tests were as follows . Treated birds expressed high values of blood hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume percentage and showed significant difference ( p < 0.05 ) compared with control group . The birds ofT1 group indicated high significant increased( p < 0.05 ) in total leukocytic count compared V with the T2 & control group . Theres is , significant increased ( p< 0.05 ) in numbers V of TWBCS in T2 group compared with a control group . A total erythrocytic counts revealed that there were Significant differences ( p < 0.05 ) between groupsln numbers of Red blood cells by increasing the number of red blood cells in treated group . These results refered to the benefit of aqueous extract of Men!/m /ongifolia to broiler chicken at concentrations of 0.25 and 0.125 gm /ml

Random 'l‘n5 mutagenesis produced 2l cysteine/methionine and 13 methionine au.'otrophic mutants of‘ Sinorliiznbimn me/1'/or/' strain Rmd20l. Linkage of Tn5 to auxotroph indicated that each mutant had a single 'l‘n5 insertion. All auxotroph showed spontaneous reversion to prototrophy and they resembled the parental strain in production ofcell surface molecule and utilization of sugars and dicarboxylic acid.

The protein extract from powder milk were prepared by extraction, followed by purification and fractionation using gel filtraction. One peak was obtained from powder milk with molecular weight of 22KDa. ELISA and skin test were performed on 195 patients tested with powder milk.The rate of positive results to skin test and ELISA was 60.51%. - ‘ ‘ There were significant differences P

A total of99 healthy genitalia ofAwassi ewes were collected from AL-Shula . and local abattoirs , Baghdad province , for biometrical measurement of uteri . viz. .weight and length of uterus , no. of caruncles in uterus body and horns . the greater and leaser curvature length of both left and right horns and The diameters of both horns . The results revealed that the mean weight and length of uterus respectively 34.365 g and l.354 cm were significantly differs due to different phases of estrus cycle. The mean total of caruncles in uterus body and homs \ere 3.566 and 90.939 which were insignificantl} differ due U. different phases ofestrus respectively The greater lengths ofthe right ,and left horn were 17.270 & l7.769 cm while the leaser lengths were I i. 974 & l2.542 cm respectively which were insignificantly differ due to different oiuses of estrus . However the mean different of the right & left horns were 1 £62 & 1 .339 cm respectively which were significantly differ due to different phases of: strus; met estrus , showed the highest values

Hypoglycemic activity of Haloxylon salicornicum and Glibenclamide were studied in normal and diabetic rabbits. The drugs were adminstered once daily at dose of lg / Kg at H.salicorm'cum and 10 mg / Kg at Glibenclamide by gavage for one month. Serum glucose level, creatinine level, total bilirubine and total protein were reduced significantly in 15-30 days. The serum Transaminase (AST and ALT activities) had effect on the treated groups.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of chitosan sheets onA inflammation. Accordingly chitosan sheet was isolated and prepared from theexoskeleton of the native shrimps in Basrah Province. The inflammation was induced andevaluated by polyvinyl sponge to determine the events which occur during theinflammatory process during different intervals in the presence or absence of chitosan&lsquo; sheets .For this purpose 24 male rabbits were used and two linear skin incisions (2 cm)were made on the dorsal aspect in both sides of each rabbit. The inflammatory process atl,3,7&amp;l5 day post wounding was evaluated macroscopically in terms of hyperemia,suppuration, dryness, and adhesion of margins and microscopically in terms of infiltrationof inflammatory cells specially neutrophils and macrophages, fibrovascular granulationtissue. _. The &lsquo;results of macroscopic evaluation revealed that '-It first post wounding day thetest wound was significantly (p&lt;0.05) more hyperemic than control wounds followed bya significant decrease in the severity of hyperemia in test wounds at ls&lsquo;, 3rd, 7"&lsquo;, and 15"&lsquo;post wounding days (p&lt;0.05). The test wounds was more dry with less suppuration to_ words the end of the experiment than control wounds (p&lt;0.05). The adhesive contactbetween the margin of the wounds was significantly higher in test wounds than in controlwounds through out the period of experiment (p&lt;0.05).

In an assessment of cellular immunity in Guinea pigs following transfer factor and sensitized spleen cell transfer using the erythrocytes: lyphocytes rosette test (E-rosette test). . The results revealed the following: p _ There is increase in the mean number of E-rosette forming active and total T lymphocytes in the sensitized transfer factor and sensitized spleen cell recipient groups comparable to control groups received normal spleen cell extract and normal spleen cells. These findings indicate that E-rosette "forming cells are of cellular immunological sinificance. .

Biopsy were taken from 50 patients in order to cultivate Helicobacter pylori and blood samples to detect anemia , differential white blood eellcount and blood groups . The results showed that anemia was found in 48% of the patients while lymphocyte elevated in 44% of them , blood group 0 had the higher percentage ( 42% ) in those patients among the other blood group types" . ' . _ _ INTRODUCTION - Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative microorganism that secretes many substances including ammoina , mucolytic enzymes ( adhesins , catalase and urease ) and acid secrete inhibitory proteins.(8) In addition to that it secrets toxin like vacuolating cytotoxin A (vacA).(7). - — Adhesin allows the organism to adhere , catalase might protect the organisum from the immune system , urease increase the secretion of gastrin which stimulate the intestinal‘ tissues to grow faster , and so could result in increased cancer risk .Urease is reponsible for hydrolyzing urea to NH3 and CO2, and acts as also protective by forming an alkalin environment around the organism . The combination of NH3 ,_Co2 and inhibitory proteins allows the bacteria to setup locallized pockets where it can neutralize even the acidity of ' blood type 0 stomachs The genetics of the secretor and non —-secretor system interact to alter an individuals risk for ulcer. In several studies , non—secretors of ABO substances have been found to have significantly higher rate ofduodenal and peplic ulcer .( 8) fl._ pylori infection increases the percentage of peripheral lymphocytes above the upper limit of referential.values .(l0)e ' ‘ Recent evidence suggests that fl_. pylori infection could cause iron deficiency anemia ( IDA ).(2). Adolescent femal athletes may have development of [_{_.__pylori associated ( IDA ) which can be managed by Q pylori eradication (5 ) . H. pylori may have a role in causing IDA in school-age children (3 )
