Transmission sources of these infectious diseases are unknown, but it is thought that non-living materials called fomites, are the major source of acquired infections. Three hundred and one swabs were taken from different sources and cultured on blood agar to study heamolysis ability of isolated bacteria. In this study, MacConkey agar was used to isolate Gram-negative bacteria and Sabouraud agar (SDA) to isolate fungi. The biofilm formation test was done by Congo red plate assay. 41 (13.6%) bacterial isolates were obtained and (18.27%) of fungi were isolated on Sabouraud agar (SDA). Staphylococcus aureus was the more frequent bacterial species that isolated in this study. 29% of samples showed hemolysin activity on blood agar and 32%of the isolates were biofilm- producer. Results revealed that (7.9%) of Gram-negative bacteria harbored the fimH gene, (9%) harbored the icaA were Gram-positive and 6.3 % of fungal samples had HWP1 gene. Furthermore, (9.3%) from the total samples are bacterial samples harbored hla gene belong to Staphylococcus spp. Furthermore, (5.07%) of tested samples possessed hlyA gene were Gram-negative bacteria. We found in our study that infectious organisms can be transmitted from one individual to another by fomites responsible for acquired infection.","PeriodicalId":7867,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83235679","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 concentration of FSH and LH hormones were higher females compared to males. All levels of sex hormones significantly (P<0.05) increased when the body weight increased to more than 26 kg in both sexes.

K. pneumoniae is known for its ability to form biofilm on biotic and abiotic surfaces. Biofilm of K. pneumoniae assists in bacterial protection from host immune responses and antibiotics. Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) emerges as a new pathotype, which first appeared in Asian Pacific Rim but spread globally. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the ability of K. pneumoniae including hvKp and potential hvKp isolates to form biofilm. One hundred isolates of K. pneumoniae were collected from different hospitals in Baghdad city. These isolates were identified by phenotypic characterization on selective agar plates, biochemical tests, VITEK II, and molecular identification. Biofilm formation was tested in these isolates by two methods, congo red and Tissue Culture Plate method. In congo red method, 33% of the isolates were biofilm producer and (63%) can form biofilm by TCP method divided as: 14% strong, 15 moderate, 34% weak, and 37% non-biofilm producer. The hvKp and potential hvKp isolates showed a variable ability to form biofilm as classical K. pneumoniae.","PeriodicalId":7867,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78597042","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}

In this study, 60 Balb/C mice (males and females) were used. Fifty mice were exposed to 90dB noise stress for 4h/daily and were scarified in different time points; 1,7,14,21, and 28 days while the rest 10mice were not exposed to noise stress and they serve as control. After the end of the experiment, the blood was collected and the serum samples were used to determine neurotransmitters levels, serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA), and hormones levels included testosterone, estrogen and cortisol levels. The findings showed that neurotransmitters levels were significantly higher in mice exposed to noise stress for 1,8,14, and 21days which was non-significant decrease compared to the control in the 28-day stress group. While the levels of cortisone were continuously rising in the exposed noise stress mice groups with the length of duration, the levels of estrogen in female and testosterone in male were continuously decreasing. Interestingly, the levels of neurotransmitters and cortisol were significantly higher in females than males in all noise stress groups. Additionally, these effects completely differ after 28 days of noise exposure, which needs more future studies to prove the risk of exposure to this type of stress on the body systems.","PeriodicalId":7867,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73125411","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}

Meanwhile, researchers are still investigating the amazing properties of graphene. Herein, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been successfully exfoliated directly using a graphite rod in a modified electrolyte including a table salt as a co-electrolyte. The structure of graphene obtained by using exfoliation methods shows a low ratio of O/C and confirms the high crystallinity of rGO. The thickness of rGO was adjusted during the drying of the drops of rGO solution and obtained about an 8-80 nm rGO thick. The increased O/C ratio and crystallinity enhancement could be attributed to the quantum confinement effect. Further investigations to estimate the decay constant of the optical band gap during the thinning of the rGO layers show that the optical band gap was associated with thicknesses of the rGO at a decay constant of 0.3367±0.00205. These results would be crucial in several optical applications that depend on the thicknesses and the band gap.","PeriodicalId":7867,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72813613","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}

There are five parameters that have been applied to the concentration values of this laser dye that are proposed by the logistic power peak function of the seventh degree. To measure the absorption measurements, a range of concentrations from 4.7x10-7 to 3.76x10-6 M was prepared from Rhodamine B and dissolved in deionized water with a peak absorption at 556 nm. A JASCO V-630 spectrophotometer was used to record the spectra of the dye. The intensity is detected using a silicon photodiode (S1337). The results were found that the suggested function approved the relationship between the absorbance and the values of the concentrations with a significant accuracy depending on the high values of the correlation coefficients between the approximated original data which were determined more than 99.2%.
