          This study was constructed to discuss an issue regarding  Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency enzyme, and the genetic disorder that leading to heamolysis anemia. A total of 50 blood samples were collected from different hospitals (Yarmook Hospital, Center Child hospital , AL Alweyaa , Medical City) beside to 20 sample as a control (healthy).These samples were vary in the deficiency of the enzyme from mild to chronic according to the test of G6PD. The period time of collection samples took about three months from March to June 2014.

     Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder caused by the BCR/ABL oncogene and characterized by clonal expansion of the hematopoietic progenitor cells and myeloid cells resulting from the (9:22) translocation. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon- α and some biochemical parameters are involved in chronic myeloid leukemia in blood samples of patients with newly diagnosed patients. The effect of pharmacological interventions (imatintb) on theses parameters were also investigated in treated CML patients.

    The ten bacterial isolates used in this study have the ability to utilizecrude oil and aromatic compounds. They were isolated in the previousstudy and considered as a novel group of aromatic hydrocarbon degradingextreme thermophillic bacteria. These isolates were screened for theirability to produce biosurfactant depending on the emulsification index(E24%), surface tension measurement (mN/m) and emulsification activity(E.A) using crude oil as a carbon source.
