AuthorsShaimaa A. Shlash

JournalMaterials Today: Proceedings

Abstract

In order to know the efficiency of sterilization in eliminating parasites and its suitability for environment measurements, samples of the water and sediments was taken from six stations the Euphrates River. The samples were transported in clean and sterile bottles to the laboratory. A sedimentation method was used for parasites. Ten species of parasites isolated from water of the six stations while isolated seven were exists in the sediments of these stations. The water and sediments of the station first were contaminate with parasites rate 25.8% and 13.7%, the water and sediments of the second station are contaminated with parasites rate 12.8% and 20.2%, the water and sediments of the third station are contaminated with parasites rate 4.2% and 18.2%, the water and sediments of the fourth station are contaminated with parasites rate 22.8% and 18%, the water and sediments of the fifth station are contaminated with parasites rate 12.0% and 5.4% and the water and sediments of the sixth station are contaminated with parasites rate 12.9% and 1.7%. Giardia lamblia rate 25.4% it is most found in water while Trichomonas hominis rate 18.4% It is most found in sediments. A result of the study shows significant difference between of the temperature of air and water in all study stations, the air temperature ranged (40.10–15.2C) and the water temperature between (26.3–9.4C) while PH was (9.89–7.5), recorded electrical conductivity (5745–2515 ls/cm) and salinity was (4.80–1.56 g/cm) the river’s water was of low salinity also dissolved oxygen was (12.9–6.2 mg/L).

Effect of Banana on the Metabolism of Vitamin B6 in the Male Rats.

AuthorsHussein A. Abdalrudha Al. Bakaa (Ph.D)., Rawaa B. Majhul (Bachelor of Science).

JournalKufa Med.Journal

Abstract

For years it has been known that certain fruits interact with certain drugs. The coadministration of the drugs with those fruits can elevate drug bioavailability and can change pharmakintic and pharmacodinamic parameters of the drugs.(1) This phenomenon depends mainly on the inhibition of cytochrome 450 3A4 in the cells of small intestine leading to reduction of drug pre-systemic metabolism.(2) In addition to that it has been presumed that fruit in turn inhibits P-glycoprotein which is a carrier that transport drug from the cells of the intestine back to the intestinal lumen , a process that increases the amount of drug absorbed.(3) In this experiment we aim to know effect of banana juice on the metabolism of vitamin B6 in the rats male. Thirty male rats were divided into three groups. Two groups were administered vit. B6 dissolved in water for one of them, and in banana juice for the other group, while the third group received banana juice without vit. B6, after three hours of administration there were significant differences in the concentration of plasma vit. B6 among the groups (P<0.01).
