Cytogenetic and Cytotoxic Studies on the Effect of Phytoinvestigated Active Compounds of Hyoscyamus niger (in vivo and ex vivo)

This study included the reveal of the Cytogenetic effects of 6- Thioguanine and methotrexate in lymphocytes obtained from bladder cancer patients, in which we study the effects of those drugs on the blood samples obtained from patients and apparently health individuals, the patients were diagnosed in Al- Yarmouk Hospital.
In this study Mitotic index, blastogenic index, chromosomal aberrations, and micronucleus, were employed in the present study as cytogenetic parameters for the mentioned drugs. The most prominent findings of the present work were:

THE EFFECT OF IMPROVING SURROUNDING SOIL ON FRICTION CAPACITY OF PILE

The improving of the pile surrounding soil still insufficiently studied. Many researchers treated with the surrounding soil to improve the pile capacity for resisting the lateral loads or liquefaction. Many methods of improvement are adopted to increase pile capacity .Compaction and replacing surrounding soil are adopted in this study as improvement method. Experimental work was executed on pile model using a compression machine. At first tests, were performed on soil to determine soil properties.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A NON-ARTICULATED PROSTHETIC FOOT USING DEVELOPED COMPOSITE MATERIALS

 Prosthetic foot is considered one of the most important parts of prosthetic limbs because it is in direct contact with the ground and supporting the body of amputee. Developing designs and materials of prosthetic feet are very important field so as to improve their characteristics to produce better satisfaction for amputees. In this work, previous designs are studied, and new design foot was modeled depending on Niagara foot design. Three groups of new composite materials are prepared. First group is manufactured from polyethylene as a matrix and chopped carbon fibers.
