Two cottonseed extracts including alcoholic and aqueous at doses 20 and 40 mg/Kg/day were orally administered to male mice for 6 weeks to study their effects on some of sperm parameters. Results showed that 20 and 40 mg/kg alcoholic and aqueous extract caused highly significant (P 0.01) decrease in the sperm concentration, motility (%) and progressive sperm motility (%). While, Results of the abnormal sperm morphology (%) for two treated groups 20 and 40 mg/kg/day of alcoholic and aqueous extracts revealed a significant (P 0.05) increase after 6 weeks when compared to the control group. Results revealed that the percentages of sperm agglutination were highly significant (P 0.01) increased in mice treated with 20 and 40 mg/kg/day of alcoholic and aqueous when compared to the control. The fertility (%) and percentage of males of new born babies showed a significant (P 0.05) reduction in the treated mice as compared to female in the same groups and to the control group. Meanwhile, a significant (P 0.05) increase in the recovery time was showed with the increasing of doses of the two extracts when compared with the control group.

Serial fungal bioreactor which contained two species of fungi, Trichoderma harzianum and Penicillium spp. were used to reduce the colored dyes wastewater in the textile factories in Al-Kadhmia city/ Baghdad. Different biomass of two fungi species which cultured in the laboratory ranged five and ten grams for each treatment the colored dyes wastewater for both blue and red dyes that used in cotton textile factories. The activity of bio-reduction was increasing during multi-stages of fungal bioreactor due to more decreasing of colored wastewater of textile dyes specially when happening some specific changes in its processes. Another environmental factors were measured such as absorbance, transmission and turbidity before and after treatment. Positively relationship of fungal biomass quantities were recorded extrusive relationship in bio-reaction processes forreducingthe colored textile wastewater treatment by serial fungal bioreactor.

The objectives of the present study are to determine the effect of different concentrations of aqueous and oil extracts of cottonseed on haematological parameters. Groups of male mice were orally administered aqueous extract [20mg/kg/l day (G2) and 40 mg/kg/day (G3)] and other groups were administeredoil extract [20% (G5) and 40% (G6)] for six weeks. The results showed that there was a significant (P<0.05) reduction in Hb values for mice treated with 20% and 40% oil extract as compared to the control.Also, significant (P<0.05) reduction in the percentage of PCV were noticed for both concentrations of extracts as compared to the control groups. While non significant (P>0.05) differences were shown in RBC and WBC count among G5and G6 as compared to G4. Significant (P<0.05) increment in the platelet count was shown in G2, G3, G5 and G6 as compared to the control. Differential leukocyte analysis showed that a significant (P<0.05) reduction was observed inthe percentage of lymphocyte and significantly (P<0.05) increase neutrophils in G2 and G3 as compared with G1 and in G6 as compared to G4. While,monocytes (%) were significantly (P<0.05) decrease in G5 and G6 as compared to G4. However, 40mg/kg/day aqueous extract dose demonstrated a significant(P<0.05) increment in the percentage of eosinophil and basophile cells as compared to G1.

The current study included understanding the effect of methotrexate and omega-3 in the thyroid and parathyroid gland and some of the physiological and histological and genetic variables in some of the organs of the body in the male rats. The study included 56 animals were divided into three groups, the first and second groups were divided into three secondary groups, the first secondary group was given the drug methotrexate only in concentration 0.05 , 0.125 and 0.250 mg / kg for 8 weeks while the secondary second group was given drug methotrexate in the same concentrations of the first group, as well as give it omega-3 concentration of 300 mg / kg for 8 weeks, the third group was considered as control group. After finishing of dosage, the animals killed and took blood samples and organs to do the required tests, included measuring of blood parameters, such as RBC ,PCV ,Hb ,MCV, MCH and MCHC. In addition to measure the number of white blood cell count WBC and Differential white blood cells, where the results showed the presence of a rise in both the RBC, PCV, Hb in the low and medium concentration of methotrexate while decreased in high concentration, omega-3 work to reduce the variables above in the low and medium concentration while worked on reducing it in the high concentration, moreover a variable of MCV and MCH and MCHC has not changed morally. With respect to the WBC was low in the totals for the study when giving methotrexate while rose when giving omega-3 with this druge, also neutrophil cells was low and accompanied by a rise in a monoytes in all concentrations of Methotrexate were not for omega 3 noticeable effect on these cells decreased. The results showed a decline in the lymph and acidophilus cells in the low concentration while rose in the medium and high concentration of Methotrexate. Omega-3 worked on the rise it in concentrations above, with respect to basophiles cells increased in the low and high concentration and decreased in medium and the omega-3 was not effect of them.
