General Medicine - Abstract
parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the main regulator for homeostasis some electrolytes and blood albumin, although the roles of vitamin D3 in the homeostasis of calcium in the bone are well known, However, recent data indicate the existence of the role of vitamin D3 in the Non-bony tissue is through its effect on cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The vitamin D3 receptor and enzyme 1α-Hydroxylase necessary for the transformation of 25(OH)D3 to 1,25(OH)2D3 and the latter has been disclosed in several tissues, So the 25(OH)D3 may convert into an effective biological status of Paracrine effects and impact on the levels of vitamin D3 in the serum . The aim of the present study : evaluate the strength of the link between the PTH levels and some electrolytes in the blood serum of patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). evaluate the strength of the link between the vitamin D3 levels and some electrolytes in the blood serum of patients with ESRD. Identify the natural values of this system, and the changes occurring because of ESRD disease. Collect samples from venous blood of disease ESRD under Hemodialysis (HD) 106 (60 males, 46 female) patients, and reviewers to the Ibn Sina Centre for dialysis / Baquba teaching Hospital, compared with 48 (32 males 16 females ) blood samples of healthy, with a record age, weight, sex, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Underwent venous blood samples centrifuge speeds of 4000 r / min for 10 minutes, the serum was separated to perform the following analyzes :- Measure the level of calcium, phosphate, PTH hormone and vitamin D3 . The results of the current study: Increase in the levels of PTH in patients ESRD compared with healthy . Is not affected the levels of vitamin D3 in the blood serum of patients ESRD significant compared to healthy. Decrease the levels of calcium in patiets ESRD compared with healthy. Increase in the levels of phosphate patients ESRD compared to the healthy. Moreover, study results indicated : A positive correlation between PTH and phosphate in patients ESRD. A negative correlation between PTH and calcium, vitamin D3 in patients ESRD. A positive correlation between vitamin D3 and calcium, phosphate, in patients ESRD

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease belongs to a group of disparate diseases clinically and genetically characterized by increased blood sugar (hyperglycemia) as a result of defect in insulin metabolism. Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) (Oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1-49) is one of the most important enzymes of the metabolite, the main enzyme and the key to the Pentose phosphate path way. Unsuitable control of blood glucose decreases G6PD activity and increases diabetes mellitus complications. the This study evaluated effect of Mediterranean mutation which causes decrease G6PD activity on diabetes patients and evaluated the difference of G6PD activity among diabetic and non-diabetic patients, and the impact of hyperglycemia on the G6PD activity and different in G6PD activity in six and age and relation between Calcium and Magnesium with G6PD activity and Mediterranean mutation and found correlative coefficient(r) between G6PD activity in Patient and Blood sugar, Calcium, Magnesium and G6PD activity in healthy people. Asixteen diabetic and non-diabetic subjects were selected from patients 8 to 60 years old. Demographic data including gender, age, height, weight, duration of diabetes mellitus, type and duration of treatment, medical history (especially fauvism) were recorded. Blood pressure and body mass index were also measured. One blood sample was taken from each subject and 5 elements including G6PD presence and activity, fasting plasma glucose, plasma Calcium, Magnesium and DNA was extraction from whole blood and then amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and later subjected to digestion by restriction enzyme MboII to create restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to enable the detection of mutation that caused G6PD deficiency namely Mediterranean (Med).

Background: Obesity is a multifaceted condition and represents a pandemic that needs urgent attention. Obesity, both directly and indirectly, increases the risk for a variety of disease conditions including diabetes, hypertension, liver disease, and certain cancers, which in turn, decreases the overall lifespan in both men and women. Leptin most likely indicates satiety and fullness of energy stores under physiological conditions, but obesity is characterized by hyperleptinemia and hypothalamic leptin resistance. Many studies have found association between obesity leading to oxidative stress and diabetes mellitus type 2, and many others have shown that the level of ROS increase in obesity. Methods: In this study conducted on 176 individuals in the age group from (20-55) years, from Tikrit and Kirkuk Governorates. Blood samples were divided into three groups according to BMI: Group One: Control group (Normal Weight): 66 individual (32 male, 34 female), BMI (18.5–24.9 kg/m2). Group Two: Over Weight group: 50 individual (16 male, 34 female), BMI (25.0–29.9 kg/m2). Group Three: Obese group: 60 individual (28 male, 32 female), BMI (≥ 30 kg/m2). Results: The results showed a high significant increase (p=0.000088) in the BMI levels in obese and overweight groups comparison with normal weight group. The results showed a high significant increase (p=0.00008) in the Leptin hormone levels in obese and overweight groups comparison with normal weight group. There is a high significant increase in the (cholesterol, TG, VLDL and LDL) levels in obese and overweight groups comparison with normal weight group (p=0.00002)and (p=0.000041) respectively, while the results showed a high significant decrease (p=0.000034) in the HDL concentration in obese and overweight groups comparison with normal weight group, the results showed a high significant decrease (p=0.00005) in the GSH concentration in obese and overweight groups comparison with normal weight group, the results showed a high significant increase (p=0.00003) in the MDA levels in obese and overweight groups comparison with normal weight group. The results showed that there was a positive correlation between leptin with Cholesterol (r=0.526), Triglyceride (r=0.594), LDL (r=0.645), VLDL (r=0.594) and MDA (r=0.692), but there was a negative correlation between leptin with HDL (r=-0.642), GSH (r=-0.734). Conclusion: The results of (leptin and lipid profile) indicated highly associated with oxidative stress (MDA, GSH) levels and these correlations caused obesity.
