Evaluating the Humoral Immunity and Interleukin 18 Receptor 1 in some Patients with Molluscum Contagiosum Infection

The molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) is a dermatotropic poxvirus. The causative agent of molluscum contagiosum (MC) is nonlethal, common and worldwide. Additionally, little inflammation is associated with MC papules. The present study aims to evaluate the immune status of MC patients by measuring the level of immunoglobulins IgG and IgM by using the radial immune diffusion assay (RIA) and the level of interleukin 18 receptor 1 (IL-18R1) by the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The study is conducted during November 2013 to April, 2014 in outpatient clinic of Baquba Teaching Hospital. There are 75 patients, diagnosed with clinical lesions of MCV on different areas of the body, whose age is ranged between 2-50 years including 40(53.3%) males and 35(46.7%) females. The study includes 15 healthy persons age between 2-50 years. The level of IL 18R1 were significantly elevated in patients (677.15±874.22) compared with control (178.46±31.79 ng/ml). There is also a significant elevation in the mean level of serum IgM, where it is 1946.6±825.6 mg/dl while in control group is 140.1±68.7mg/dl. By contrast in patients with lower levels of IgG than the control, the mean serum IgG level in patient is 221.9±96.7 mg/dl while in the control is 1229.9±299.7 mg/dl. Finally, there is no significant difference between MC patients from rural area and urban area

Evaluation Of the Immunopatho Role Of Interleukins IL17, IL21,and CD4+,CD8+ T cells In Patients With Type 1 Diabetes In The City of Baquba

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous group of high blood sugar hyperglycemia and produces insulin, insulin action , or both. Diabetes is caused by the inability of beta cells in the pancreas. The production of these insulin cells is little or no. This is known as type 1 mellitus diabetes (Insulin-dependent T1DM) Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Objective:To evaluate the immune role of some of the immunological indicators of patients with type 1 diabetes by identifying the IL17 and IL21 concentrations, also The CD4 + and CD8 + T cells were identified by the Sandwich ELISA test. Patients and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 70 patients with type 1 diabetes (diabetes mellitus type 1) after diagnosis and 20 samples of healthy people were collected as a control group, an the study has been done during the period between October 2016 and May 2017. Results: The results  of  IL17 level showed a decrease of IL17 in patients with type 1 diabetes 114.31 ± 103.78 pg / ml compared to control group126.54±81.48pg / ml with no statistically significant difference (p> 0.05),and the results of IL21 level showed an crease of IL-21 in patients with type 1 diabetes , 209.40 ± 294.78 pg / ml compared with healthy 189.54 ± 274.82 pg / ml with no significant difference.The results showed a decrease in the concentration of CD4 + T cells in the group of patients  5.18±4.59 pg / ml compared to the healthy group whose concentration level was   5.52 ± 3.47 pg / ml.Also the results showed a high concentration of CD8+toxic T cells in the group of patients as it was 5.54 ± 7.39 pg / ml compared to the healthy group. The concentration of toxic T cells was 3.74 ± 3.57 pg / ml. There was no significant difference between the study groups for CD4 + and CD8 +. Conclusion: A number of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL17) and inflammatory cytokines (IL21) as well as cellular immunity of CD4+ and CD8+have an important role in the development of type 1 diabetes in children and affect the immune response in the body through immunodeficiency

The role of Interleukin 6 , C Reactive Protein ,C3and C4 Complement in Immunopathogenesis of Myocardial Infarction

Background:Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of premature death in the developed world and is estimated to become, by 2020, the major cause of death worldwide. Objective:To Evaluate the role of interleukin 6 and acute phase proteins in immunopathogenesis of myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted in Baquba Teaching Hospital in Diyala province .Ninety blood sample were collected from patients with myocardial infarction, 62 (68.9%)were males and 28 (31.1%) were females with age range (25-90) years, control group (35) patient, a males were 28 (77.14%) , and females were 8 (22.86%) with age range (25-70) years. Results: The results showed levels of Interlukine-6 was higher in patients (47.44 ± 30.50) pg / ml than control (37.13 ± 12.08) pg / ml with no significant difference and the positivity of C-reactive protein in patient group was (81.3%) than control group was (0%) ,with highly significant different , the level of C3 and C4 in present study was lower in patient than control group.The C3 complement level was (112.88) pg / ml which is lower  than control group (121.48 ±) pg / ml ,while C4 level was (19.73) pg / ml also lower than control group (26.81) pg / ml and significant difference was noticed among C4 .   Conclusion:We concluded that there is high level of IL-6 in patients with myocardial infarction and significantly high levels of C-Reactive Protein in patients of Myocardial infarction while showed there are low concentration levels of C3 and C4complement in patients with myocardial infarction

Inflammatory role of some cytokines, immunoglobulins and complement proteins in immunopathogenesis of renal failure in a sample of Diyala province patients

This study was conducted in Diyala province for renal failure patients during the periods August 2015 - April 2016. Hundred renal failure patients were enrolled in the study after diagnosis by the consultant physician at Ibn-Sina Center for Dialysis in Baquba Teaching Hospital according to criteria adopted by the World Health Organization for diagnosis of renal failure disease. The number of males in patient’s sample was 61 (61%) and females was 39 (39%) with an age range of 10 – 88 year (44.7 ± 22.1 year). In addition, the study included 50 apparently healthy individuals and considered as a group control, in which the number of males and females was similar (25 individual), with an age range of 18 – 88 year (51.7 ± 17.3 year). The results a highly significant decrease serum level of immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) and complement proteins (C3 and C4) in renal failure patients compared to controls (p ? 0.001). The results showed further a highly significant increased serum level of interleulin-18 in patients compared to controls (p ? 0.001). Interleukin-6 serum level was also increased in patients compared to control, but the difference was not significant (p > 0.05)
