Positive Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (Anca) As A Function Of Human Leukocyte Antigens (Hla) In Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Hummady Al-Hilaly

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

The newly described distinct associations of HLA class I and II genes with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) provide strong evidence for genetic heterogeneity of susceptibility between these two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), moreover, the familial distribution of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs, a subclinical markers) in patient's families has further implicated the existence of heterogeneity within this disease. To test the hypothesis that heterogeneity indicated by ANCAs has a genetic basis that resides within HLA region, we studied 42 IBD Iraqi cases (30 UC and 12 CD) and an ethnically matched healthy control group (n=35). …

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

The specific activities of some purine metabolism enzymes [Adenosine deaminase (ADA), AMP-deaminase, 5`-nucleotidase (5`- NT) and xanthine oxidase (the two forms: xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH)], were measured in sera of control (n=45) and patients with prostate cancer (n=47).Sera ADA and AMPdeaminase specific activities in prostate cancer were significantly decreased (p<0.001) when compared with control group. By contrast there was significant increase (p<0.001) in 5`-NT specific activity observed in sera of prostate cancer. The activities of xanthine oxidase (XO) (the oxidase and the dehydrogenase activities) were the results revealed no detectable oxidase activities of XO in sera of prostate cancer. Where as, the dehydrogenase activity of this enzyme show significant decrease (p<0.001) in comparism to control group. Two forms and three forms of ADA were found in sera of control andprostate cancer patients respectively as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis .Three forms of 5`-NT were found in sera of prostate cancer patients and control. One forms of AMP-deaminase was detected in the sera of control and prostate cancer patients. ADA, AMPdeaminase, 5`-NT and (XO, XDH) enzymes may be used as a biochemical markers in prostate cancer patients to help the early diagnosis.

Relationship Between Postprandial Hyperglycaemia And Progression Of Diabetic Nephropathy, Ali S.Abdul-Razzaq Al-Hilli, Hazem K. Abdul-Kareem

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) remains the gold standard for the assessment of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Recent investigations have studied the correlation between HbA1C levels and other aspects of glucose metabolism, specifically, postprandial glucose (PPG). The results suggest that PPG is also important to overall glycemic control and may be a better index of glucose regulation than no effect on FPG. Thus, all aspects of glucose metabolism appear to be clinically relevant and should be monitored for effective diabetes management. This study defines the clinical significance of postprandial hyperglycaemia regarding the development of diabetic nephropathy.
