Vol.2 No.6 -3 : Pomegranate peel Extract Protects Cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity in albino mice.

By : Amal A. El-Daly Abstract Cadmium chloride (CdCl2) is a toxicant heavy metal displays adverse properties in humans creating public health risks. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is widely known as antimicrobial and antioxidant. This study investigated the cadmium induced structural effects in mice and evaluated the beneficial effect of alcoholic extract of P. granatum […]

Vol.2 No.6 -4 : Intestinal Form of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease in Growing Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

By : Abou-Shafey A. E*1; Metwally A. Y2; Massoud. A. A1; Barakat M. E3. and Elwan M. M1 Abstract Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD) is extremely acute highly fatal, contagious disease with mortality rates of 80-90% of the infected rabbits. RHD causes hepatic, intestinal and lymphoid necrosis with massive terminal intravascular coagulopathy. The etiological agent is […]

Vol.2 No.6 -6 : Survey on the parasites infested crayfish Procambarus clarkii, Girard,1852 (Crustacea, Cambaridae) in Egypt.

By : Shimaa M. Abd El-Moaty, Hesham M. Sharaf, Abd El-Monem M.Khalil and Shimaa S. Ahmed. Abstract A parasitological survey on 1474 fresh water crayfish Procambarus clarkii was carried out during the period from January 2013 till May 2014 from different canals at Sharkia, Dakahlia and Kafr El-Sheikh Provinces in Egypt. Out of the examined […]

Vol.2 No.6 -7 : Protective effect of Coenzyme Q10 against gentamicin induced acute renal failure in mice.

By : Abdel Razik H. Farrag1, Rania A. Ibrahim2, Shimaa N. El-Sayed2 Abstract Gentamicin is an antibiotic whose clinical use is limited by its nephrotoxicity. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an effective antioxidant and used for therapy of a number of diseases. The present study was designed to investigate the possible protective effect of CoQ10 against […]

Vol.2 No.6 -8 : Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphism and obesity a pilot study from Egypt.

By : Sabah Farouk, Wael Abdel-Mageed, Mahmoud Aly Abstract The main adverse consequences of excess bodyweight are cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and several cancers. IL-1Ra serum concentration has been reported earlier to increase in human obesity and it is therefore assumed that the polymorphism of IL-1Ra may influence cytokine production. The study was designed […]

Vol.2 No.6 -9 : The possible anti-inflammatory role of the blue green algae ,Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on adult male rats.

By : Samir Atea Mohammed1, Hemmat Mansour Abdelhafez1, Fatma Ahmed Eid1 Ola Mohammed Abdel-Raouf2, Rasha Mohammed Ibrahim1 Abstract Aphanizomenon flose-aquae (AFA) is a fresh water unicellular blue green microalgae like Spirulina, but most AFA is harvested from the wild in volcanic regions leading to high levels of trace minerals. Aphanizomenon flos- aquae have been traditionally […]

Vol.2 No.6 -10 : The radioprotective role of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) on testis of adult male albino rats

By : Fatma Ahmed Eid , Hemmat Mansour Abdelhafez ,Samir Attia Zahkouk1 and Heba Ahmed Mohamed Kandeal Abstract This work aimed to study the biochemical, histopathological and histochemical changes in the testes of male albino rats post exposure to 4 Gy of gamma radiation and the possible radioprotective role of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). Aphanizomenon flos-aquae […]

Vol.2 No.5 -2 : Effect of Doping a Rare-Earth Oxide on the Photovoltaic Parameters of Dye -Sensitized Solar Cells.

By : A. A. El-Hamalawy, M. M. El-Kholy, Alshimaa Ali Abstract Yb2O3-doped TiO2 were prepared using mechanochemical process to obtain Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) photoanodes. The parameters of DSSC devices were calculated. The study showed that the addition of Yb2O3 improved the open-circuit voltage via a p-type effect, whereas, a negative effect on the […]

Vol.2 No.5 -3 : Heavy Metal Analysis in Some Water Types from Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and Future Aspirations of Water Resources Management.

By : Ahmed M. El-Naggar Abstract A comparative evaluation of the heavy metals Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper and Zinc in versatile water resources in Egypt and Saudi Arabia was conducted during the summer of 2015. All the studied water brands contained markedly scarce amounts of Arsenic, which was under the limit of detection. Chromium […]

Vol.2 No.5 -4 : Age-Related Changes in the Histological Structure of Rabbit Testes and the Prophylactic Role of Vitamin E.

By : 1Nabila I. El-Desouki, 2Amal I. El-Refaiy, 1Dalia F. Afifi and 1Hanan Talaat Abstract The present investigation is planned to compare between the histological structure of rabbit testes of different ages and the prophylactic role of vitamin E on senescent animals. Male NewZeland rabbits were divided into four groups according to age. Group I: […]
