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

An allergic extracts from cow's, goat's and buffalo's milk were prepared with extraction, followed by purification and fractionation by gel filtration, one major peak was obtained from cow, goat and buffalo milk with molecular weight of23KD, 26 KD, ISKD respectively. Total and specific IgE ELISA testing was performed on I37 patients serum samples. The . rate of specific IgE positive ELISA results was 58%in ease of patients tested with goat milk allergen and 57% in case of patients tested with buffalo milk allergen. There were significant differences I’

The study was conducted on two groups of individuals. Group A (treatment) consisted of l0 healthy volunteers who were administrated garlic (Allium sativum) for thirty days and then followed for another 30 days without garlic. Group B(control) ll healthy subjects served as a control. Garlic ingestion significantly lowered (p0.05) in systolic B. Pr. on male, female and total. Significantly lowered (p

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.

Three groups of male mice, ten mice each, were treated by gossypol acetic acid for (38) day by oral rote successively: group one treated with normal saline served as control, group two treated with 20 mg/Kg. BW. and group three treated with 40 mg/Kg. BW. The treated males were direct faced individually with adult males for aggressive behavior tests, and virgin female diestrus for sexual behavior tests. The results were as follow: the group two and three did not mice show any copulation activities during the 3- hour of observation, group two as well as three mice had less initiative in attacking their opponents and tended to avoid any longer contacts in combating. Afterward group two and three mice got significant body weight changes compared with group one (control). Therefore, the suggested conclusion of the study was gossypol tended to reduce the aggressiveness and sexual activity, but moreover body weight of the male mice was decreased.

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‘ 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&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 ‘results of macroscopic evaluation revealed that '-It first post wounding day thetest wound was significantly (p<0.05) more hyperemic than control wounds followed bya significant decrease in the severity of hyperemia in test wounds at ls‘, 3rd, 7"‘, and 15"‘post wounding days (p<0.05). The test wounds was more dry with less suppuration to_ words the end of the experiment than control wounds (p<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<0.05).

Injection of l mg / kg of uranyle acetate caused an obvious changes in the numbers of white blood cells with progressing time ofexperiment, specially in the numbers of neutropiiiles and monocytes which decreased significantly, while the numbers of eosinophiles has increased significantly after the first week of injection and then decreased significantly in the 2nd and 3rd week of exposure as compared with control group. Also, the injection caused significant decreasing in Hb and PCV values, while the activities of hepatic enzymes GPT, and GOT were not affected in comparison with control group. . So, it may be useful to use this variation of WBC percentage as a primary indication to persons who D exposed to different doses of radioactive compound

Throug a complete year a 1000 cows were subjected to asexual health examination two hundred and ten cases of affection with infertility problems were discovered in local Iraqi cows (Al-Jenubi) and their crosses with Fresian .It was found that 88 cows ( 41.9 %) as anestruse ,they were 28 cows (l3.33%) local cows and 60 cows (28.57%) crosses cows and .the percentage of anestrus did not affected by certain seasonal trend, and 49 cows (23.33%) were affected by repeat breeder,l7 cows (8.09%) of them were local cows and 32 cows (l5.23%) were crosses cows and the higher percentage of repeat breeders was in summer season. Uterine infection were 73 cows (34.76%) cases devided as 45 cows (2l.42%)local cows and 28cows (l3.33%) crosses cows and they were not affected by acertianseason with the exception of their highest incidence in winter. the results shows . that the percentage of cross cows higher than the percentage of local cows signilicantly(p< 0.0l). There is not significant correlation between seasons and affection cows with infertility .But the results shows that the local breed is more resistant to infertility problems than cross breed.

Conjunctiva ofthirty rats and ten mice were examined for the presence ofthe normal flora Streptobacillus moniliformis which is the causative agent of rat-bite fever in man . 60 % of each rats and mice were found to harbor. this bacteria suggesting a potential source for human infection . biochemical characterization revealed occurence of biotypes which are valuable in tracing epidemics . A test for pathogenicity was carried out on rabbite

Four hundred milk samples were collected from 205 local breed ewes for the detection of clinical and sub clinical mastitis. The incidenceof clinical mastitis ' was (7.25%) while that of sub clinical mastitis was (26.25%). I-Iistophilus Ovis was isolated from natural cases of sub clinical mastitis of ewes and is a novel bacterium A to Iraqi mastitis literature
