The present study has been carried out at the department of physiology, College of Veterinary Medicine of Basrah, to evaluate the role of oil extracted from salvia officinalis and Thymus vulgaris leaves in some structural and functional characteristics of mature female rats experimentally induced with gastric ulcer.Oils of thyme and sage were extracted from dry leaves available in Basrah market by normal hexane, oils components have been analyzed in a manner GC-MAS (Gas chromatography). Gastric ulcers were induced in starved female rats by giving indomethacin orally by mouth gavage in a dose 25mg\kg for one day. The animals have been divided into seven equal groups(8 females in each group). The first group was received normal saline and served as a negative control. Second group serve as positive group that received only single dose of indomethacin, whereas third group treated with thyme crude oil for two week ,fourth group that treated with thyme dilution oil for two weeks,fifth group treated with sage crude oil for two week, sixth group treated with sage dilution oil for two weeks and seventh group treated with cimetidine for two weeks. The blood has been obtained for hematological assessment the present results: showed no changed in RBCs , PCV of female rats groups treated with thyme crude,thyme dilution, sage crude oil and cimetidine and just group treated with sage dilution caused a significant 110

Insulin like growth factor-1 has metabolic and growth-related roles all over the body and is strongly associated and regulated by growth hormone. It is produced by almost any type of tissue, especially the liver. The study aimed to measure insulin like growth factor in growth hormone deficient patients and find its relation with other studied parameters. The Subjects in the study were 180 studied in the National Diabetic Center for Treatment and Research/Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad/Iraq for the period from November 2021 to April 2022. Blood was drawn and investigated for the levels of IGF-1, IGFBP-3, LH, and FSH. Also testosterone and statistical analysis was carried out to find the potential correlations. The results relived that the gender was not affect the levels of either parameter, IGF-1 was found to be positively correlated with age, BMI, and IGFBP-3. While IGFBP-3 was found to be positively correlated with the levels of IGF-1, LH, FSH and testosterone. From the results of the current study, it can be concluded that the levels of GH as well as the levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3, have significant difference between the NGHD and the patients’ group.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune condition that is chronic, inflammatory, and can affect any joint in the body. Rheumatoid arthritis is defined by symmetric inflammation of synovial joints, which can eventually lead to the erosion of cartilage and bone. The objective of this study was to measure CCN3, CRP, I.R, Insulin .F.G, and Lipid profiles in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis. The current study comprised a total of 120 participants, who were separated into two groups. Group1 contained 70 Rheumatoid arthritis patients, and group2 controls 50; the samples were extracted from women and man, the levels of CCN3, CRP, I.R .F.G, Insulin, Cholesterol, TG, VLDL, LDL, and HDL were evaluated. The levels of PTX3 and Insulin were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the stories of F.G, Cholesterol, TG, CRP, VLDL, LDL, and HDL, were assayed using a spectrophotometer. The result of CCN3 shows a high significant change among two groups' patients RA and control. Systole, Diastole, and LDL values have non-significant change in their levels in RA patients. Triglyceride, Cholesterol, HDL, VLDL, CRP, Insulin, F.G, and I.R values have a significant change in their levels in patients RA. Conclusion: According to the presented results CCN3, CRP, I.R .F.G, Insulin, T.G, Cholesterol, VLDL, and HDL all have an effect on RA patients. RA patients are not affected by their systole, diastole, or LDL levels.
