The aim of this study is determine the effect of cement dust on liver and kidney parameters that include liver enzymes (S.ALP , S.ALT ,S. AST) , total serum protein , urea and creatinine in workers that exposing to cement dust in AL-Anbar mosaic factory . The results show that an increased in urea (workers= 46.7±0.826 , control=30.26±0.613 ), creatinine (workers=1.23±0.074 , control=0.653±0.0601) and in S.AST activity (workers=29.3±0.809 , control= 6.29±0.720) S.ALT activity (workers=24.04±1.163 , control=6.63±0.822) , while no significantly difference in S.ALP activity(workers=4±0.477 , control=5.23±0.657) and serum total protein(workers=6.239±0.13 , control=6.387±0.18) when compared between the workers and control group.
Blood samples were collected from myocardial infarction patients and control groups in Ramady city / Anbar governorate-Iraq. Serum was used to know myocardial infarction effect on the lipid profile, three enzymes activity, proteins and urea. The results were showed the following: (a) Significant increment in cholesterol, triglyceride , LDL and VLDL, while we were observed significant decrement in HLD and urea. (b) Change in the electrophoretic bands of proteins by using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. (c) Significant increment in enzymes activity of CK , LDH , GOT and protein content in the myocardial infarction patients. (d) C-Reactive Protein was showed that 84% of MI patients gave positive results .
Even though most thyroid subjects are undiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms, universal screening for thyroid disease is not recommended for the general population. In this study, our motive is to compare thyroid autoantibody anti-TPO and IL-17 in addition to traditional thyroid markers TSH, T4, and T3 between two patients' groups (patients with hypothyroidism (TSH) > 6 mIU/L and patients with hyperthyroidism TSH between 0.3 and 6 mIU/L) with a control group. Here a total of 45 subjects were divided into three groups, the first group consisted of 15 patients with hyperthyroidism. The second group consisted of 15 individuals with hypothyroidism, and the control group consisted of 15 healthy individuals. According to our results, an increase in TPO values was observed in all study groups, and the highest increase was recorded in the hyperthyroidism (386.672±116.924), and with regard to interleukin-17 values, a high value was observed in patients with hyperthyroidism (38.1033±5.44) compared to other groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
