Acacia nilotica is a plant has an inspiring range of medicinal uses. This plant contributes a number of groups among which are alkaloids, volatile essential oils, phenols and phenolic glycosides, resins, oleosins, steroids, tannins and terpenes, this study aims to: examine the antimicrobial action of ethanolic extraction from fruits and seeds of Acacia nilotica. Hot ethanol extract (48°C) of fruits and seeds obtained from Acacia nilotica, used in minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), agar diffusion method to detect the antibacterial effect of the extract. Elucidate almost for all bacterial types used in this study, the concentration of 100mg/ml was the mostly effective concentration on bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, and Proteus mirabilis); while the E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa the concentration of 75 mg/ml was the effective concentration for both of them as an optimum concentration.
Background: Because of the capacity of MicroRNAs to down-regulate tumor suppressor expression and enhance tumorigenesis, they are of great importance in the knowledge of cancer. Aim of the study: To study the performance of miR-221 and IL-10 in colorectal carcinoma. Patients and methods: In the present study, venous blood specimens were taken from (55) patient suffering from colorectal cancer who were attending the Medical City, Baghdad (Teaching laboratories), during the period from 1st Jun. 2018 to 30th Sep. 2019. For detection of miRNA-221 expression in patient’s sera, the Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used. Results: Descriptive analysis of miRNA-221 expression according to pathological grading and gender showed no significant difference (p > 0.05), however, variations of miRNA-221 expression among patient and controls revealed significant differences (p < 0.05). There was a highly significant difference in the mean serum IL-10 levels among patients with CRC when compared with the control group (p > 0.04). While the highest disease risk was correlated to higher mi-RNA-221 with IL-10 levels related with poor prognosis. Conclusion: The high expressions of mi-RNA-221 can act as prognostic markers in patients with colorectal cancer. Besides, the higher levels of miRNA-221 and IL-10 were correlated with worse prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
