Immunohistochemical technique was used to determination the expression of TGFα and their receptor EGFR in all studied cases. The study aimed to estimation the expression of these proteins in thyroid carcinogenesis and the possibility of transforming the benign patients to thyroid cancer. The results showed overexpression in TGFα in thyroid cancer when compared with benign patients and control group with significant differences (p< 0.05). Regarding EGFR, the results explained no significant differences when compared between three samples. Our results concluded there is a strong relationship between TGFα overexpression and thyroid carcinogenesis.","PeriodicalId":152061,"journal":{"name":"University of Thi-Qar Journal of Medicine","volume":"74 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114159541","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}

Obesity is a major risk factors for many chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension and ischemic heart disease, so it is considering a major Public health problem. Objectives: to study the prevalence of obesity and it is risk factors among Thi-Qar university students. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study had been extended from 1st of April 2016 to10th of June 2016, a total of 841 students (358 of male and 456 of female) between 18 years and 36 years of age (mean 21.7 ± 2.3years) were selected randomly from 24 colleges of both Thi-Qar university and Mazzia college. Each participants subjected to a questionnaire that include: personal socio-demography, time of sleep per night, types of activity during leisure times, height, weight and waist circumference were measured and body mass index was calculated and used to asses’ weight status. The data was analyzed by using SPSS. p value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result: The mean BMI was 24.17 ± 4.0; more than half (59.2%) of students were of normal weight ( 63.8% of male students and 55.2% of female students ) ; whereas the prevalence of overweight and that of obesity among them was 28.3% and 8.1% respectively. The prevalence of obesity was nearly similar between male and female students, while the prevalence of overweight was more common among females students as compared to males (32% of females vs. 23.1% of males).The prevalence of underweight was more common among male than female students (5.1 % of male vs. 3.7 % of female ) . Depending on their waist circumferences 3% of male and 18 % of female students where at a higher risk of developing abdominal obesity co morbidities. There was significant higher prevalence of obesity and mean waist circumference with in students of more than 26 years old age and of less than 6 household family number (p < .05 for both variables). A relatively high proportion (42.7 % for male and 35.8 % for female) spend more than two hours on screen time daily. Females where significantly (p< .05) much less physically active than male. Conclusion: there was high prevalence of obesity among ThiQar university students and the study supports the multi factorial etiology of obesity; it demonstrated that age, parent’s education and household number are risk factors. The study also shows high prevalence of sedentary behaviors, physical inactivity among Thi-Qar university students.
