Evaluation of oxidative stress level and glutathione system in patients with psoriasis in Basrah Governorate, Iraq
(Rzeszów University Press, 2025-03) Hassan, Ayat A.; Sayyah, Sahera G.
Introduction and aim. Psoriasis is a persistent chronic disease with no known cause or cure. This study aimed to estimate oxi dative stress and glutathione systems, and their association with factors (age, gender, disease severity, and geographical location) in psoriasis patients. Material and methods. The study was carried out in the Al-Fayhaa and the Basrah Teaching Hospitals. The number of patients was 45 with 45 in the control group. We quantified the amounts of malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PC), 8-hydrox yguanosine, glutathione, glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and selenium. Results. The results showed significant differences in all variables at multiple statistical levels (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). The study found significant differences between two groups within the allowed concentration range. Some inter-factor fluctuations were found, and these fluctuations were noticeable in age and sex, and not significant in disease severity or location. The pa tients did not experience oxidative stress due to the oxidation of lipids and proteins, but rather DNA oxidation. Conclusion. Lipid peroxidation or protein oxidation do not correlate with psoriasis. While a marker for DNA oxidation exists, it yields different results in psoriasis patients compared to healthy individuals. We observed a correlation between MDA, GR and PC, GPx, PC, and selenium, which serves as the cofactor of the GPx enzyme.
Uwarunkowania polityczno-ekonomiczne polityki Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej na Bliskim Wschodzie

The subject of my interest is to characterize the most important political and economic conditions that characterize the policy of the People's Republic of China towards the Middle East region. The main purpose of my work is to present holistic aspects of Chinese diplomacy towards the Muslim world, boiling down mainly to the economic conquest of the Middle East area. At the outset, I trace the relations of the China with Iraq and Iran, which are currently the most important countries in the Middle East for Beijing, thanks to which Beijing is systematically strengthening its position in the region. In the ensuing section of the article, I would like to discuss Beijing's relations with other political entities in the Middle East, starting with Israel and Palestine, ending with the rich states of the Persian Gulf - Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. An important element of my reflections is also the mention of Beijing's position on political disputes in the Middle East - the Israeli-Palestinian and Syrian conflicts and the growing Islamic State, which in some way relates to the Uighur issue, extremely troublesome for Beijing due to the separatist struggle of the inhabitants of this society. In summary, I will try to outline whether Beijing's policy towards the Middle East will undergo certain modifications in the near future. I also intend to try to answer the question whether the concerns of the region's countries over China's economic power are justified.
