The influence of introducing benzothiazole and benzimidazole as a pending groups into the repeating unit of PVC has been studied on the bases of photostability measurements. The photostability of modified polymers were studied by monitoring the carbonyl Index (I CO ), polyene index (I po ) and hydroxyl index (I OH ), all results obtained indicated that PAA, PSS, PNN, PSA and PNA gave lower growth rate of I CO , I PO and I OH with irradiation time with respect to unmodified PVC film (control). The following trends of photostability are obtained PAA>PSS>PNN>PSA>PNA According to the experimental results several reaction mechanisms were proposed depending on the presence of benzothiazole and benzimidazole moieties in the polymer chain. The mode of chain scission was also investigated by measuring the variation of average viscosity molecular weight with irradiation time for modified PVC. The degree of deterioration (α) and the average number of chain scission (S) values were also calculated.

New metal complexes of the ligand 2-thioacetic-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole with the metal ions Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Sn(II) were prepared in alcoholic medium. The prepared complexes were characterized by FTIR Spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy 1H NMR, 13C NMR, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. From the spectral measurements, monomer structures for the complexes were proposed. Square planar geometry was proposed for the copper complex. The other complexes were proposed to be tetrahedral. Preliminary in vitro tests for antimicrobial activity show that all prepared compounds display good activity to Staphylococcus aureus, Escherishia coli, Pseudononas aeroginosa and Cndida albicans.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been defined as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. This study includes (84) subjects, their age ranged from (40 to 54) years. (20) subjects were healthy chosen as control group and (64) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into three groups according to their type of anti diabetic therapy: (23) newly diagnosed group without therapy (Group1), (20) with metformin therapy (Group2) and (21) with metformin plus glibenclamide therapies (Group3). In the study lipid profile level were quantitatively determine by enzymatic methods, in addition to that fasting plasma glucose (FPG), Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c%) and body mass index (BMI) were identified in the patients. There is significant increase in the level of lipid profile in patients group. Metformin alone produce a non-significant favorable effect on all lipids profile parameters while metformin plus glibenclamide showed a significant reduction in TC and LDL-C.
