Abstract Background & aim: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine failure leading to anovulation. TNFα is an effective factor in the regulation of normal functioning of the ovaries. High levels of TNFα causes PCOS is further. In this study, the effects of bumble bee venom (HBV) on TNFα and other symptoms of ovarian PCOS were studied. Methods: In this experimental study, 60 female Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control, sham and experimental groups. The experimental group was injected with estradiol valerate-induced PCOS direction. Induced rats (PCOS) were divided into two groups and treated with HBV. The treatment Group received 0.2mg of HBV for 10 consecutive days. Serum and ovarian tissue was collected from each of the four groups to compare the histological and changes in blood sugar levels. Results: A significant increase in ovarian PCOS weight was observed in the control group , whereas in the treated group with HBV rate fell (15.5 mg) Glucose levels in PCOS was 256.5, the control group138, and the treatment group 158. Thickness of the theca layer of antral follicles in the treated group compared with PCOS showed a significant decrease (110 μm and 150 μm respectively). Immunohistochemical results showed increased TNFα factor in PCOS group than in the control group, whereas these levels in samples treated with HBV Reduced. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the beneficial effects of HBV in PCOS may be due to the inhibitory effect on factor TNFα.

Abstract

Background and aim: Mesenchymal stem cells were separated from bone marrow by Friedenstein et al. for the first time. In addition to their cohesion, mesenchymal properties of the cells were proven by surface markers. The aim of this study was to isolate mesenchymal stem cells from mouse bone marrow cultures and some surface markers in the obtained cells were expressed. Methods: In this study, bone marrow cells in the femur and tibia bones were isolated from NMRI mice. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated to the bottom of culture dish based on cohesion properties. In addition to their cohesion, mesenchymal properties of the cells were proven by CD73, CD44, CD90, CD31, CD45 and CD29 markers, after the fourth passage using flow cytometry. Results: In the primary culture, a heterogenous population of flattened, spindle and multi-faceted cells were observed. Spindle-shaped cells increased in later passages, so that almost all of third passage cells were spindle-shaped. Flow cytometry analysis of surface markers revealed high level mesenchymal stem cells from the fourth passage markers CD44, CD73 and CD29, and, low level of CD31, CD45 and CD90 markers. Conclusion: It can be concluded that MSCs derived from bone marrow mouse have some positive and negative surface markers with high and low expression, respectively. The expression rate of these markers proves the mesenchymal properties of cells. Keyword: Bone Marrow, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Surface Markers

Abstract

Background & aim: Nowadays, Diabetes is prevalent in different societies, and hyperlipidemia is one of the important outcomes and effective in the development of complications from this disease. Therefore, finding a medication to reduce hyperlipidemia without an adverse effects on blood sugar levels has always been investigated. Some studies have been reported the beneficial effects of the aerial parts of Anethum graveolens on lipid levels in the clinical and animal models. As there is no study on the effect of dill seed extract on blood lipid levels in diabetic rats; the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the dill seed extract on lipid profile in diabetic rats.

Methods: In this experimental study, 24 rats with a weight range of 200 to 250 g were randomly divided into three groups of eight, including normal group, diabetic group (received normal saline) and diabetic group (received seed extract to 100 mg /kg). To induce diabetes, the rats were received streptozocin (50 mg /kg,) intraperitoneally. The dill seed extract was given for four weeks and then the blood samples were collected to measure LDL, HDL and triglyceride. The differences between the control and treatment groups were tested by one-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Tukey post-hoc test.

Results: Induction of diabetes significantly increased the serum concentration of LDL and triglycerides compared with the control group (p=0.001), but no effect was seen on HDL levels. Dill Oral administration of seed extract-dose (100 mg/kg) animal serum concentration of LDL significantly reduced in comparison with diabetic group (p=0.001). The triglyceride serum levels was significantly reduced compared to diabetic group after 4 weeks administration of dill seed extract (p<0.001), but no effect was observed on HDL in comparison to diabetic group (p=0.54).

Conclusion: The results showed that the dill seed extract was able to reduce the serum levels of LDL and triglyceride in the diabetic rats. So it seems that this extract can reduce cardiovascular complications of diabetes through reducing the blood lipid profile.

Abstract
 
Background & Aim: Urinary tract infections are one of the most important bacterial infections, and the most common cause of these infections is E.coli. Considering the importance of E.coli in the development of urinary tract infection in the gastrointestinal tract, the present study was conducted to compare the E.coli causative agent of E.coli infection with E.coli dominating the natural flora of the gastrointestinal tract on the basis of antibiotic resistance and some acute genes.
 
Methods: For this descriptive study, 30 women with urinary tract and urinary tract infections were collected from the 30 patients. After colonization and confirmation, three colonies were randomly selected from different parts of each plate (fecal samples and each individual sample) were selected for review. The frequency of hly D and cnf1 genes were determined by PCR method and a phenotypic study of antibiotic resistance of isolates were performed using antibiotic disks. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test.
 
Results: Generally 90 isolates of urine and 90 fecal isolates were isolated from the samples. Comparison of the results of urine and fecal isolates showed that the prevalence of examined genes in urine strains was higher than that of fecal isolates (p <0.05). The highest resistance to stool and urinary flora was observed with trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole and gentamicin antibiotics. The highest susceptibility to ciprofloxacin antibiotic (32.2%) was found in urine isolates. In uric acid and fecal Escherichia coli, 37.7% and 46.6% of isolates were resistant to three antibiotics and more. In 9 out of 30 patients, antibiotic resistance and acute genes had the same pattern.
 
Conclusion: Most fecal flora is not an infectious agent, but isolates with higher genetic parameters are effective in causing infection. Considering the greater resistance to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole and gentamicin antibiotics in both groups, fecal flora may be involved in transferring the gene to antibiotic resistance to urine.

Abstract

Background & aim: Non-alcoholic liver disease is the main liver disease associated with malnourished diet and overweight habits. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 8 weeks of intense intolerant training (HIIT) and low intensity endurance training (LIET) on Hig2 gene expression and liver triglyceride content in fatty liver (NAFLD) rats.

 

Methods: In the present experimental study, 40 male wistar rats were randomly divided into four equal groups. The control group, LIET and HIIT, who consumed high fatty foods for the first sixteen weeks with the aim of developing fatty liver, and the sham group that used standard food during this period. The HIIT group's practice consisted of stages of extreme riding based on a percentage of maximum speed, which was separated by low-intensity running as active rest. The practice of the LIET group was also matched according to the distance traveled by the HIIT group. At the end of 8 weeks of training, the expression of Hig2 gene and liver fat content were measured. The collected data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests.

 

Results: A significant difference was seen between the two groups in the expression of Hig2 (P = 0.026) and IHL (K2 = 32.84, p = 0.001). Significant differences were observed in Hig2 between the control group and the HIIT group (p = 0.031) and the control group with PID (p = 0.012), but no significant differences were observed in Hig2 between the HIIT group and the IR group (453/0 = p). Also, there were significant differences in IHL between control group and HIIT (p = 0.001) and control group with PID (p = 0.001). Also, there were significant differences in IHL between HIIT group and IR group (p = 0.003).

 

Conclusion: Severe periodic exercises and low-intensity continuous exercises by reducing the expression of Hig2 gene reduce the content of liver fat and improve NAFLD. Also, the reduction of liver fat in the severe periodic exercise group occurs independently of weight loss.

Abstract

Background & aim: People, during recent decades, has been faced with atmospheric phenomena and environmental changes on the one hand, and with the emergence of new diseases on the other hand. The management of emerging diseases requires considering the ethical approach to control and care for these diseases. Ethical dilemmas resulting from new diagnostic and therapeutic advances in medical science have folded the necessity of dealing with medical ethics. One of the emerging diseases in the present century that practically the world has faced is the COVID-19 disease. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine and identify the indicators related to the management of respiratory epidemics using Delphi phase D method and interpretive structural modeling.

Methods: The present case study and semi-structured interview was conducted on 12 experts and professors in 2021 and led to the formulation of research model criteria. In order to achieve this goal, the influencing factors and effective indicators on the model of managed care for emerging respiratory infectious diseases were identified based on the content analysis technique. At that point, these factors and indicators were categorized. The collected data were analyzed by thematic analysis with the help of MAXQDA. Twelve people among the effective people in the management of this disease were analyzed in the collected data using statistical tests of generalized linear models, Hetling's t-test and Bon Feroni's post-test.

Results: The results of the present research identified five main categories which were: financial provision, provision of resources, servicing and equipping, information and research and government agents. According to the output of ISM calculations, the variable of information and research (C4) and government factors (C5) were the first level. To determine the elements of the second level, the variables of the first level were removed and once again the set of inputs and outputs were calculated without considering the variables of the first level. Based on the common set of identification and variables whose commonality was equal to the set of inputs, they were selected as second level variables. According to the output of ISM calculations, the variables of financial provision (C1) and resource provision (C2) were the second level.

Conclusion: Medical centers can be highly prepared to deal with the crisis by adding capacities and standards. Due to the fact that these emerging respiratory infectious diseases have become a threat to the entire population of the world, it requires timely, appropriate and cost-effective policies and measures to control and reduce its deadly consequences. Corona virus crisis management planning requires strategy, policy and correct action.
