This study include, 66 case of Basal cell carcinoma, BCC. The age of the patients ranged from, 21 – 80 year. The highest percentage of patients was seen related to the age group, 61 – 70 year. The total male to female ratio was 1.1:1. The most common histological type was the solid and the most common site of occurrence was the nose. No significant difference was found between site distribution and sex of the patients. The percentage of cases with apparent palisading pattern was, 83.1% and mostly seen related to the solid type. Significant difference was found between peripheral palisading pattern and histological types of BCC. Most cases showed apparent inflammatory reaction, no pigmentation, and involved margin by tumor cells. No significant difference was found between inflammatory reaction, presence of pigmentation, involvement of surgical margins, and histological types of BCC. Key wards: Skin cancer, BCC.

Dermatophytes are a group of morphologically and physiologically related molds some of which cause well defined infections: dermatophytoses, tineas or ringworm. The present study aims at identification of dermatophytes species and varieties from patients in Wasit province-Iraq using molecular approach based PCR fingerprint. The short oligonucleotide, GACA4 is a microsatellite primer was used in this study for identification of dermatophyte isolates. The results identified different species and varieties among dermatophytes. The numbers of resulting PCR bands ranged from 1 to 4, size range, 600bp to 1600bp for each species. The resulting patterns were distinct for Trichophyton and Microsporum species and varieties. Trichophyton soudanense and Trichophyton verrucosum revealed distinguishable profiles with four largest bands, 800bp to 1900bp among Trichophyton species., GACA4 is able to amplify all species of Microsporum producing intraspecies variation which is observed with Microsporum canis, rough strain and Microsporum canis, smooth strain, all of which had different band pattern. We conclude that, GACA4-based PCR has utility as a rapid method for identification of dermatophytes species as well as its utility for differentiation of Trichophyton and Microspmoru species and varieties.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis, RA and periodontitis, PD are widely prevalent diseases and are characterized by tissue destruction due to chronic inflammation. Recently, there is growing evidence that the two diseases share many pathological features. An association between periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis has been considered many years ago. The current study was established to evaluate the serum ACCP levels in rheumatoid arthritis patients with and without periodontitis, in addition to study the correlation between serum ACCP levels and periodontal parameters. Subjects and methods: A total of 95 subjects were enrolled in this study, age ranged, 35 – 55 years divided into 3 groups: Group I consist of 45 rheumatoid arthritis patients with periodontitis, while group II consist of 35 rheumatoid arthritis patients without periodontitis and group ÉÉÉ which consist of 15 apparently- healthy controls. . Periodontal parameters used in this study were plaque index, PI, gingival index, GI, probing pocket depth, PPD, clinical attachment level, CAL and bleeding on probing, BOP. Blood samples were collected from each subject to determine serum concentrations of ACCP by means of enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay, ELISA. Results: present study revealed that serum ACCP levels were significantly higher in rheumatoid patients with periodontitis, P<0.001 than that in other two groups. Regarding the correlation between serum ACCP levels and periodontal parameters, the current study showed positive correlation between serum ACCP and each of plaque index, gingival index and probing pocket depth. Conclusion: The current results provide strong evidence of association between periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis, and suggested that periodontitis may play an important role in activation and triggering immune response
