To study the optical properties of nanocomposites as well as antibacterial activity. The experimental study was conducted at the University of Babylon, College of Science and College of Education for Pure Sciences, Babylon, Iraq, from September 2021 to February 2022. Impregnation of transparent matrix polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone nanocomposites was done by silver oxide and niobium oxide nanoparticles. The nanostructures were created using different ratios of polymer matrix, silver oxide nanoparticles and niobium oxide nanoparticles. The optical features of these nanocomposites were examined, whereby the latter type of properties was tested within the wavelength range of 220-820nm. The determination of the anti-microbial activity was done by disc diffusion method. The anti-bacterial activity involved gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Different bacteria were cultured with Muller-Hinton medium. Absorbance, absorption coefficients and optical conductivity of the nanocomposites increased with the increase in nanocomposite concentrations. The energy gap for silver oxide and niobium oxide nanoparticles decreased when the concentrations of the nanoparticles increased. Promising outcomes may be achieved for the nanocomposites in anti-bacterial applications as the inhibition zones increased along with increased ratio of silver oxide and niobium oxide nanoparticles.

Effect of novel ora-aid intraoral dressing on salivary healing markers in smokers with tooth extraction: A randomized controlled clinical study

Background and objectives. Socket healing following tooth extraction is considered a big challenge among dentists. However, there is no previous research testing the effects of novel commercial ora-aid dressing on the levels of salivary markers of wounds healing, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) with relation to the smoking status among patients undergone tooth extraction. Material and methods. The current study represents the first randomized, controlled, and clinical research conducted in Iraq from February to May 2022. Forty male outpatients (aged from 20-60 years) who visited the Surgery Clinic of the College of Dentistry, University of Babylon, Iraq, had tooth extraction. The patients were randomly allocated into four groups: smoker patients with ora-aid applied following extraction (N=11), non-smoker patients with ora-aid applied following extraction (N=9), smoker patients without ora-aid applied (gauze only; N=11), and non-smoker patients without ora-aid applied (gauze only; N=9). Levels of preoperative and postoperative (2 weeks after extraction) salivary HGF and OPG were measured. Results. The results indicated that the levels of postoperative HGF were significantly higher in patients with ora-aid dressing compared to those without. Levels of postoperative OPG were significantly lower compared to their preoperative levels in non-smokers without ora-aid dressing. Smoking had significantly negative impacts on the levels of preoperative HGF. Conclusions. The study concludes that commercial ora-aid attachable dressing can be safely applied on the fresh socket after tooth extraction and it can accelerate the healing of intraoral wounds by significantly elevating healing of salivary markers (HGF|) and maintaining the levels of other healing marker (OPG).

THE DIFFICULTY OF USING IRREGULAR SENTENCE BY IRAQI EFL STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY OF BABYLON

The objective of the study is to investigate the difficulty of using irregular verbs in the students writing an essay at the University of Babylon. The design of this study is descriptive qualitative research. The sample of the study comprised 25 students in their fourth year, and it was selected randomly. The findings of the study showed that 70% of the students were unable to use irregular cases such as verbs and adjectives incorrectly. Also, the findings show that the students use both regular and irregular verb (past) in their students' writing essays. The most dominant verb past written by the students in their students’ writing essay is an irregular verb. Regular verbs are verbs that can change according to tense and change it regularly. Regular verbs are verbs whose changes comply with normal rules, that is with add the letter -d or -ed to the verb first-form/verb-1 (infinitive) so that it becomes a verb form second/verb-2 (past tense). Several things must be considered in the way of forming regular verbs by adding the letter -ed suffix or -d in the basic verb/verb-1 (infinitive). Irregular verbs are verbs that change according to the tense and do not comply with normal compliance. The past tense Irregular verbs are not formed from basic verbs/verb-1 (infinitives) plus letters -d or -ed letters to form verb-2/past tense. Irregular verbs form their past tense differently (through) not always) through a vowel and consonant change. This study recommends students should be well-trained on how to use irregular verbs in the past tense case or changing the form of the regular adjective, and also must be memorized by the learners/students because of the difficulty to distinguish the irregular verbs among the sentences.

This study investigates the relationship between dietary habits and manifestations of COVID-19 among nursing students in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Babylon, employing a descriptive cross-sectional methodology. Drawing from a sample of 100 students, data was collected using a structured questionnaire encompassing demographic information, COVID-19 symptoms, and dietary patterns. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS V.23 and Excel 2016. Results indicated a predominantly female (61%) sample, with most participants being unmarried (64%). Common COVID-19 symptoms reported included loss of smell and taste (for one week), cough with secretions, high temperature, and shortness of breath. The study observed discrepancies in symptom presentation compared to previous research, highlighting variations in manifestations among populations. Notably, individuals who consumed vegetables demonstrated a lower risk of COVID-19 complications, suggesting a potential protective role of vegetable intake against the virus. However, no significant correlations were found between demographic factors and COVID-19 manifestations. Based on the findings, recommendations are proposed to promote healthier dietary practices among individuals, emphasizing the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and nutrient-rich foods to aid in COVID-19 recovery. Additionally, suggestions include regular meal consumption, hydration, and moderation of caffeine intake. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of nutrition in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and provides valuable insights into dietary behaviors among nursing students during the pandemic.

A field experiment was conducted for the fall season 2022 to grow a crop of yellow corn, zea mzys, class F1, in the Kala Agriculture field of the University of Babylon, in silt clay. The study included an investigation of the effect of adding chelated zinc and Vermicompost and the interaction between them on the growth indicators of maize, Where it included three levels of chelated zinc fertilizer (0, 5, 10) kg.H-1 and symbolized by symbols (Zn0, Zn1, Zn2) respectively for the first factor, while the second factor was the addition of Vermicompost with three levels (0, 10, 20) ton.H-1 and symbolized by the symbols (F0, F1, F2), respectively, and thus the number of transactions became 9 by 3 replications, so the number of experimental units became 27 experimental units. The experiment was carried out according to the RCBD random sectors design. The addition of chelated zinc to the Zn2 treatment gave the highest increase in the vegetative growth characteristics of plant height, chlorophyll index, leaf area, and dry weight of the vegetative total, as the values reached 189.60 cm, 53.92 Spad unit, 56.53 dm2, and 4.86 tons H-1 for each respectively. The addition of Vermicompost to treatment F2 gave the highest increase in vegetative growth indicators for each of the plant height 186.39 cm, chlorophyll index 50.75 spad unit, leaf area 52.87 dm2, and dry weight of the vegetative total 4.88 tons H-1. The dual interaction of chelated zinc and Vermicompost for Zn2F2 treatment gave the highest increase in the growth indicators of yellow corn represented by plant height, chlorophyll index, leaf area, shoot dry weight.

Antibiotic prescription in the management of endodontic infections amongst Iraqi final-year undergraduate dental students

Aim: This study aimed to examine the prescription of antibiotics for endodontic infections among undergraduate dental students. Methods: Two government Iraqi dental schools [(the University of Baghdad (UOB) (n=99) and University of Babylon (UB) (n=70)], and one private dental school [Osouldeen University College (OUC) (n=103)] were included in this survey study. A paper-based questionnaire composed of seven questions was distributed to students, and collected. A chi-square test was used for data analysis, and the level of significance was set at 0.05 (P=0.05). Results: A statistically significant difference (P<0.05) was identified between students’ answers in the three dental schools regarding antibiotic selection for endodontic infections in which patients had no known allergies (P=0.001). In comparison to other dental schools, a statistically significantly higher proportion of respondents from UOB (32%) favored Azithromycin 500mg for treating patients with penicillin hypersensitivity (P=0.003). A high percentage of participants (62.1%) selected antibiotic prescription in cases with necrotic pulp and symptomatic apical periodontitis (with swelling and moderate/severe preoperative symptoms). However, there were no significant differences between the 3 dental schools (P>0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, a significantly greater percentage of UB chose amoxicillin for the treatment of endodontic infection in patients with no medical allergies. Azithromycin 500mg was selected by UOB as the preferred option in patients who were sensitive to penicillin. Our findings support the need for the implementation of strategies to raise awareness of good antibiotic prescribing practices among dentists in Iraq.

Investigation of the Salivary Antioxidants and Oxidative Damage among Smokers and Non-Smokers with Dental Caries

Background: Salivary oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the progression of dental caries. However, evidence from previous studies provides equivocal results with some data supported the link between dental caries and salivary oxidative stress, while others did not find any relationship. Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the levels of salivary oxidative stress among smokers and non-smokers with dental caries. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: One hundred adult males, who visited the Conservative and Operative Clinics at the College of Dentistry, Babylon University, Iraq for the period from November 2021 until April 2022, were recruited in this study and were randomly subdivided into three groups; G1: smokers with dental caries, N = 35; G2: non-smokers with dental caries, N = 35; G3: non-smokers without dental caries (control), N = 30. Markers of salivary total antioxidants (TAC) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in all studied groups. The potential correlations between these markers and other factors such as smoking duration, number of smoked cigarettes per day, and subject’s age were also measured. Result: The levels of TAC were significantly (P = 0.01) greater in patients with dental caries compared to those levels in a control group, while the levels of salivary MDA were not significantly (P ≥ 0.05) differed among all studied groups. Smoking had no significant (P ≥ 0.05) effects on both markers of oxidative stress (TAC and MDA). All measured correlations between makers of oxidative stress and smoking duration, number of smoked cigarettes per day, and subject’s age were insignificant (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: Salivary antioxidants may be involved in the progression of dental caries. However, further studies are needed to establish whether markers of oxidative stress (TAC and MDA) are the causes or results of dental caries.
