Abstract: Background:
The aims of this study
is
to clarify hemodialysis related changes in liver function status
in hepatitis C virus patients versus negative patients with
chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Subjects and Methods: The study included
70 patients with history of chronic kidney disease on
hemodialysis
for more than 1 year ago: 40 Patients with
hepatitis C virus
are patient group, and 30 Patients without
hepatitis C virus
are control group. The study was performed at national institute
of nephrology and urology, in Cairo. Patients were subjected to
full history taking, clinical examination including blood
pressure measurement, and laboratory studies including: complete
blood count, Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, Aspartate
aminotransferase, international ratio, total proteins, albumin,
urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium,
cholesterol, triglycerides,
virology markers using Enzyme Linked-Immunoassay technique over
1 year with 3 months between each one, and polymerase chain
reaction for
hepatitis C virus
Ribo
Nucleic Acid once allover the study.
Results:
The study showed no significant difference between patients and
control as regard serum liver aminotransferases, albumin and
international ratio allover the study, and all are within normal
ranges, also 72.5%, 22.5% and 5% of
patients group are in low, intermediate, and high viremia
respectively,
and with
Comparative study between low, intermediate and high viremia as
regard duration of starting dialysis (years)
there is: highly significant difference between them, indicating
that: There is inverse association with increase duration of
starting dialysis there is decrease in hepatitis C viral load.
Conclusion:
Our data confirm that patients with chronic kidney disease on
hemodialysis with hepatitis C virus have normal level of liver
aminotransferases, and low viremia in hepatitis C virus patients
on hemodialysis is an important factor in maintaining them with
in normal ranges, and this low viral load may be related to
duration since starting of hemodialysis.

Abstract:
This study evaluated the
hematological and biochemical indices of pyrexic subjects using
standard techniques. Results obtained revealed no significant
variation between the packed cell volume and the random blood
sugar of both the pyrexic subjects and the control group
(P>0.05). However, an apparent statistical disparity was
observed in the white blood cell counts of both the pyrexic and
the control group with the pyrexic subjects having an
approximately 20% percentage white blood cell reduction relative
to the control group (P<0.05). It can therefore be concluded
based on our research findings that pyrexia of bacterial origin
have a statistical significant relationship with the white blood
cell count and not any other examined hematological
and/biochemical parameters.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the
financial crisis and audit quality on earnings quality in the
capital market of Iran. It was used Altman model to measure the
financial crisis and to assess audit quality standards as audit
firm. Earnings quality is measured by the volatility of profit
and income smoothing. To test the hypotheses of the data related
to 90 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange as the sample
were analyzed the combined data for the period 1391-1387 for
estimating Model suitable of hypotheses on combined data was
used from Chow and Hausman test. The results showed that the
financial crisis has a significant positive impact on
fluctuations in interest and income smoothing. The results
showed that audit quality has a significant negative impact on
income smoothing, but has no significant effect on earnings
volatility.

Investigation the concept of
compensation for damages caused by oil pollution in the United
Nations Commission
Zahra Pakyari
Graduate of International Law,
Tarbiat Modares University
Abstract:
Monitoring and evaluation of
environmental damage is one of the issues that the Commission's
decision No. 7 as an example of direct damage. Accordingly, the
cost of direct damage and depletion of natural resources will be
payable. These costs include the opinion and assessment of
environmental damage and reduce damage to the process of
assessment and rehabilitation of the environment. In this
article we try to answer the question whether these costs can be
considered as part of the damages or not; because it still has
not been proven damages in certain areas. However, the Board of
Governors of the costs as directs costs, and not even indirect
losses. Due to the amount of compensation claims, environmental
claims and received, compared with the total volume of the
proceedings of the Commission as well as the material
environment as well as the extent of the losses incurred shows.
Four main claims are:
1) Damages for the cost of
monitoring and evaluation of environmental damage;
2) Costs related to the
cleanup and restoration of the environment;
3) Costs related to the
cost of public health monitoring and treatment;
4) Damages related to loss
or damage to natural resources.

Abstract:
The knowledge of platelet function has improved substantially
over the past decade, particularly in the setting of CVD.
Studies have defined a role for transcripts in anucleate
platelets, which contain a broad number of miRNAs that seem to
have functional relevance.
The triad of functional activity of CD40L in atherosclerotic
models, high content in platelets, and mobilization during
platelet thrombosis provides a readily testable hypothesis and
places platelet-derived CD40L squarely in the forefront as an
important, mitigating factor in this disease. Still, several
questions arise.

Abstract:
In this study, companies operating in the Tehran Stock Exchange
based on accounting standards (which are directly derived from
the Company's financial statement data) include: Cash conversion
cycle, liquidity, capital structure, return on assets and the
size of the company and also non-accounting criteria for
performance evaluation include: Economic value added, Jensen's
alpha, Sharpe Ratio and proportion Trainor, using Fuzzy Topsis
method ranked and with ranking based on the Tehran Stock
Exchange indices were compared and their correlation were
obtained. The main objective of this study is to determine
whether the company according to reports from Tehran Stock
Exchange is ranked top among other companies, in ranking based
on accounting and non-accounting criteria for evaluating the
performance of other companies is higher or not. The research
method used for this study was survey. To do the calculations
and analyze the spreadsheet data software (Excel) and to test
hypotheses 16 Spss and Spearman correlation coefficient was
used. The results of hypothesis testing and correlation analysis
shows that between ranking companies of Stock Exchange based on
stock indexes and ranking based on accounting and non-accounting
variables, there is a weak correlation and the ranking of the
exchange only in terms of liquidity and return on assets, of
accounting standards, and of non accounting standards with
Jensen's alpha coefficient and Economic value added, there is a
significant relationship.

Abstract: Objectives:
To highlight the reliability of DW MRI
in the identification of the postoperative cholesteatoma
in confrontation with the surgical
finding. Data
Sources: Medline
databases (PubMed, Medscape,
ScienceDirect.
EMF-Portal) and all materials available in the Internet from
2006 to 2016. Study
Selection: The initial
search presented 170 articles of which 44 met the inclusion
criteria. Data
Extraction: If the
studies did not fulfill the
inclusion
criteria, they were excluded.
Study quality assessment included whether ethical approval was
gained, eligibility criteria specified, appropriate controls,
adequate information and defined assessment measures.
Data Synthesis:
Comparisons were made by structured review with the results
tabulated. Findings:
Cholesteatoma is a common problem encountered in otology clinics.
The major argument in favour of closed
technique is the presence of a normal ear canal, which avoids
the need for regular aural toilet and also enables the better
use of a hearing aid. In a preoperative patient, high-resolution
CT (computerized tomography) and conventional T1- and
T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan complement
each other in providing detailed assessment of the extent of the
disease and the anatomy of the temporal bone. Following mastoid
surgery, both of these imaging modalities cannot reliably
distinguish between residual or recurrent disease and other
post-operative changes such as fuid, granulation or infammatory
tissue. Recent advances in MRI
techniques such as “diffusion weighted” and “delayed
post-gadolinium” sequences have suggested that these imaging
modalities may help in the diagnosis of residual cholesteatoma.
In diffusion- weighted MRI scans, several different types of
imaging sequences have been described for the evaluation of
cholesteatoma. DW-weighted MRI is based on the principle of
random microscopic motion (Brownian motion) of water molecules.
A pair of pulsed magnetic fields are
applied within a given time interval and the net shift of water
molecules is observed between the two pulses.
This “diffusion” of water molecules
differs in each biological tissue.
Conclusion:
DW EPI fails to demonstrate
middle ear cholesteatoma with a size smaller than 5 mm
due to susceptibility artifacts, lower imaging matrix and
relatively thick slices.
Recent papers have highlighted the advantages of
non-echoplanar-based diffusion-weighted sequences compared to
DW EPI.

Phytochemical Constituents and Proximate Composition of
Nephrolepis cordifolia
(L) C. PRESL grown in Nigeria

djadebiyi@yahoo.com
Abstract:
Phytochemical and proximate analyses of the matured leaflets of
Nephrolepis cordifolia (L) C. Presl were carried
out using standard methods. The results of the phytochemical
screening showed the presence of tannin (11.50mg/100g),
alkaloids (9.06mg/100g), flavonoids (16.53mg/100g), phenols
(8.33mg/100g), saponin (1.20mg/100g) and glycosides
(5.44mg/100g). Terpenes were however absent. The distribution of
these secondary metabolites in the matured leaflets of N.
cordifolia suggests their relevance in ethnomedicine and
clinical research. Results of the proximate analysis showed that
the matured leaflets of N. cordifolia contained moisture
(86.58%), crude protein (0.78%), fat (0.34%), ash (2.50%), fibre
(4.36%) and carbohydrate (7.79%). This suggests that the matured
leaflets can be a source of nutrients especially for the
ruminants when supplemented.

Bioaccumulation of
heavy metals in the fish species Sarotherodon melanotheron
from Alaro Stream Ecosystem in Ibadan.

Abstract:
A study was
carried out on the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the fish
species Sarotherodon melanotheron from Alaro Stream
Ecosystem in Ibadan. Fishes have been identified as affordable
protein source that are efficient bioaccumulators of organic and
inorganic pollutants which depends on the age of the fish, lipid
content in the tissue and mode of feeding that are significant
factors that affect the accumulation of heavy metals in fishes.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the bioaccumulation
of the heavy metals and to compare it with international
permissible limits for public health good. Twenty five (25) fish
were collected from the Alaro stream and dissected to remove the
gills, fins, gut, liver, bones and muscle. These organs were
oven dried at 1050C for 6hours, pulverized and acid
digested for heavy metal analyses. The results showed that the
mean Ni and Se in the organs of S. melanotheron were
above the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limit
guideline standard of 0.07 and 0.04ppm respectively. The mean Zn
in the organs of S.melanotheron did not exceed the
permissible limit of 1000ppm. It can be concluded that there is
need for moderation in the consumption of fish obtained from
Alaro Stream in Ibadan through monitoring of daily intakes even
though some heavy metals that have physiological relevance have
been found to exceed the recommended permissible limits since
there is no massive fisheries output from the aquatic ecosystem
that forms a major part of the diet in the populace.

Abstract:
The
intensification of the society development presents new
requirements to the specialists of various spheres. The growth
of the intensity of social economic and political processes
causes a lot of strain on the psychology of people which results
in the emergence of psychological tension. This article deals
with the analysis of psychological competency and the art of
being a doctor. The concept of competence levels including the
explanation of psychological peculiarities of each of them is
presented.

Abstract:
Growth and extracellular enzyme production by Micrococcus
species from fermented “ugba” was conducted in Abuja, Nigeria. A
total of twenty samples of “Ugba” were collected from four
different markets at Gwagwalada area, Abuja and screened for the
presence of Micrococcus spp by using Spread Plate
Technique. A total of 12 Micrococcus isolates were
observed with Micrococcus luteus recorded the highest
with 5 (41.67 %), followed by Micrococcus roseus with
4(33.33 %) and the least isolate recorded was Micrococcus
lysae with 3(25 %) out of the total isolates. The results of
the primary screening of the bacteria strains by palm oil agar
Plate method shows that Micrococcus luteus recorded 32.00
± 4.67 mm, followed by Micrococcus lysae with 28.67 ±
2.44 mm and Micrococcus roseus recorded 22.33 ± 6.78 mm.
The quantities of the lipase enzyme produced by the
Micrococcus spp also shows that Micrococcus roseus
recorded the highest value of 14.03 ± 2.10 mm, followed by
Micrococcus luteus with 12.20 ± 1.00 mm and
Micrococcus lysae recorded 10.51 ± 2.00 mm. The
growth and extracellular enzyme produced by Micrococcus
spp from fermented “Ugba” were not significantly different at P
= 0.05 level of significant. Proper handling of “Ugba” during
production or product pasteurization after production may be
necessary to kill Micrococcus sp in ugba and halt the
enzyme production which participates in spoilage.

Abstract:
Pot experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth of Celosia
argentea L. The experiment was laid in Completely Random
Design with five treatments. NPK and Urea (200kgha-1)
and 6t ha-1of cow dung and poultry manure were used.
The results revealed that cow dung manure treated seedlings
produced the highest growth at 6 weeks after transplanting
(6WAT) followed by poultry manure. Urea fertilizer produced the
highest number of leaves at harvest. NPK fertilizer produced the
highest leaf area. NPK, Urea and poultry manure had similar stem
girth. Urea treated seedlings had the highest number of green
leaves. NPK fertilizer treated seedlings showed the highest
number of spikes followed by poultry manure. Cow dung treated
seedlings with NPK had the similar relative growth rates. All
the parameters accessed showed that the control experiments had
the least growth. Statistical analyses (ANOVA, P < 0.05) showed
that significant differences were observed in the growth
parameters studied when the treatments were compared to the
control experiment except the relative growth rate that showed
no significant difference from the control experiment. It was
observed that organic fertilizer performed better in some
parameters accessed on the growth of C. argentea. It is
suggested that organic fertilizers (poultry and cow dung) might
be a good option of fertilizers in the cultivation of this
vegetable by the farmers who cannot afford the price of
inorganic fertilizers.
