Several techniques have been mentioned to elevation this damage. In our study, we determine DNA damage in human spermatozoa by sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) method and Apoptosis of DNA in human spermatozoa by Optical density in gel electrophoresis in male infertility. Objects and Methods: Semen samples were collected from 100 men and were analyzed by standard light microscopic according to the World Organization (5 th edition) for diagnostic fertility. Furthermore, Sperm DNA damage was determined by using Halosperm Kit, then assessment apoptosis by optical density in Gel Electrophoresis. Results : The mean value of DNA by SCD method in infertile males increased with a value of 47.95±10.96 % when compared with the control value of 21.2 ±2.64 % with (p< 0.00001). On the other hand, the mean value of DNA by measurement of Optical density in Gel Electrophoresis in infertile males decreased with a value of 120.27±18.73 when compare with the control value of 144.4±45 with (p =0.833). Conclusion: by SCD method and other methods for detection of DNA apoptosis by gel electrophoresis addition to routine semen analysis play important role in the diagnosis and management of male infertility.","PeriodicalId":15163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89909102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to describe the COVID-19 laboratory results in various age and sex groups. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-2 RNA was used in the study, which had 1100 individuals with typical cold symptoms. It was reported that 660 of these cases tested positive for the test, while 440 tested negatives, therefore all cases underwent laboratory testing. Our research revealed that males had higher COVID-19 positivity than females (215/660; 67.4%), with males scoring 445/660; 32.6%). Age does not statistically differ between COVID-19 positive and negative cases.

Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases in Sudan. These patients have many changes in their blood, and many factors affect the glucose tolerance that is mediated by insulin, one of these changes is S.ferritin level, a marker of iron storage. Increased serum ferritin, reflecting body iron overload, is often associated with insulin resistance. The role of iron in the pathogenesis of diabetes is suggested by an increased incidence of type2 diabetes mellitus in diverse causes of iron overload, and reversal or improvement in glycemic control with a reduction in iron load achieved using either phlebotomy or iron-chelating therapy. Aim: To evaluate serum ferritin level in type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Sudanese Patients. Materials and Method: A case-control study was done in 45diabetic patients and 45normal healthy individuals as a control group, including measurement of serum ferritin by an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) method full automated chemical analyzer. COBAS e411 machine used Roche HITACHI Kit and quantification of HbA1c level by i-chroma instrument. Results: The study showed that serum ferritin levels were significantly increased in diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus in comparison with the age and gender-matched healthy individuals (P. value= 0.008). There was an insignificant correlation between serum ferritin and HbA1c(P. value=0.431). Conclusion: Therefore, the findings of the present study indicate that serum ferritin was increased in diabetes and this increase may contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease as well as to the development of complications. Thus, routine screening for serum ferritin concentration in pre-diabetes and diabetic patients should be done to assess the body's iron stores.","PeriodicalId":15163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83167980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty individuals (20 with ischemic heart diseases, as other cardiac diseases, and 10 healthy individuals) were recruited as a control group. The biotin double antibody sandwich technology determined levels of human fibronectin and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1. FN was the most effective biomarker in differentiating HF patients from healthy individuals (AUC = 0.850) ( P < 0.001), followed by TIMP (AUC = 0.74) and CK MB (AUC = 0.660). The sensitivity and specificity of FN were 82% and 70%, respectively, at a cutoff of 80 ng/ml. In addition, FN and TIMP had the same AUC (0.71) and efficiency (65%) in distinguishing HF patients from controls, followed by CK-MB (AUC = 0.70). We developed a novel model for HF diagnosis named the HFD model based on three biomarkers (FN, TIMP, and CK MB). The HFD model had an AUC of 0.77 in distinguishing HF patients from healthy individuals, with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy reaching 80%. For differentiating HF patients from controls, the HFD model had 0.8 AUC, 76% sensitivity, 75% specificity, and 76% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":15163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88819593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
