The resistance-training program included climbing a ladder with tail-loaded weights. In addition, vitamin D3 groups received vitamin D3 supplementation (2ng/0.2mg sesame oil/every two days) intraperitoneal for 2 weeks. To induce EAE model, to each animal in 4.0 ml of solution guinea pig spinal cord and equally adjuvant and, was injected klotho levels were measured by ELISA. For data analysis, both one-way ANOVA and Tukey test were used with a significance level of p≤0/05.   Results: The results of this study indicated that the mean serum levels of klotho in the brain tissue of control group were significantly different from control group (p=0/001).  Klotho levels in the resistance training group were significantly higher than the control group (p=0/001). In addition, there was a significant increase in klotho in supplementation and combination patient group compared to the control group (Respectively P=0/001؛ P=0/006). Furthermore, the difference between the training, supplementation and combination groups was not significant (p≥0/05).   Conclusion: The result of the present study revealed that pretreatment with the resistance training and injection of vitamin D3, alone and in combined together was able to prevent the reduction of klotho's levels against EAE induction. As a result, this protocol is likely to have a protective effect against MS.     resistance-training vitamin D3 klotho experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. 2018 10 01 401 412 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2102-en.pdf

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 12 weeks of combined exercises and vitamin D on the serum visfatin level and beta cell function in women with overweight type II diabetes. Methods: 40 type 2 diabetic women with a mean age of 1.49 ± 3.65 years, weight 158.15 ± 5.65 cm and body weight index 29.4 ± 0.46 kg / m2 were selected purposefully The groups were randomly divided into four groups of 10, three experimental groups (combined exercise, vitamin D, combined exercise with vitamin D) and control group. Height, weight, BMI and fat percentage of subjects were measured. After 12 hours of fasting, the primary blood sample was taken to measure glucose, insulin, visfatin, insulin resistance, and beta cell function. Subjects then participated in the experimental group 1 in the combined program. The experimental group, in addition to the combined exercises, consumed vitamin D 6 pills per 50,000 units a week. Experimental group 3 consumed only vitamin D with 6 pills per dose of 50,000 units per week and did not have any training. The control group was only tracked. After 12 weeks, all variables were re-measured in 4 groups. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis (ANCOVA) at the level of p <0.05. Results: The mean values of post glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, beta cell and visfatin function were significantly different between the four groups with control of pre-test values of these variables (0.001> p). In the case of insulin, there was no significant difference between the mean values of insulin levels in vitamin D, exercise and combination therapy and vitamin D (p <0.05). There was no significant difference in insulin resistance between the mean resistance to insulin in the control and vitamin D groups (p> 0.05). There was no significant difference in the performance of beta cells between the mean values of performance in control, exercise and exercise groups and vitamin D (p <0.05). In the case of visfatin, the mean values of visfatin in the treatment group and vitamin D were significantly less than the other three groups (p <0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate the effect of combined exercises and vitamin D intake on visfatin levels in overweight diabetic women.   Combined exercise Vitamin D Visfatin Diabetes Insulin resistance 2018 10 01 413 427 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2099-en.pdf

Bacterial pigments as bioactive products are one of the agents for identifying new antimicrobial agents. Microorganisms have been considered for the production of new microbial products such as pigments.   Methods: In the present research, a total of 37 pigmented bacterial strains were obtained from soil samples of different regions of Fars province, Iran. These strains contained a wide variety of pigmentation including: red, yellow and green. Strains with different pigmentation were selected for further studies. Pigments were extracted by methanol-water or methanol for secreted and non-secreted pigments, respectively. In order to evaluate the antibacterial activity of pigments, disc diffusion and macrodilution assay were used on MDR Klesiella isolated from clinical samples. Finally, microorganism with anti-bacterial pigment was identified by molecular method.   Results: Based on the morphology of isolated pigment colonies in different environments and carrying out biochemical tests, the presence of bacteria such as, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Serratia marcescens, Enterobacter sakazakii, Flavobacter mizutaii, Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus were identified. The total frequency of Klebsiella isolates was 8.5%. Of the 17 isolated isolates, 12 isolates were completely resistant to all antibiotics, and six isolates were sensitive to the imipenem antibiotic. All of Klebsiella isolates were multi drug resistance. A Red pigment from Serratia marcessence was the most potent and showed inhibitory effects on MDR Klebsiella.   Conclusion: Isolated microorganisms from environmental resources contained a very diverse collection of pigments, where different pigment structures with different antimicrobial properties can be searched. The present study indicated that bacterial pigments can be effective against MDR Klebsiella isolates.     Burn wound samples Bacterial pigments antibiotic resistance Klebsiella. 2018 10 01 499 515 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2132-en.pdf

The MSH2 gene is located on chromosome 2 (p21) and consists of 16 exons. MSH2 is a protein that plays a role in restorative MMR after DNA replication. The MSH2 protein is attached to MSH6 or MSH3 and forms MutSα and MutSβ complexes that identify small and large deletion / insertion abnormalities, respectively. The main objective of the present research was to evaluate HRMA's ability and effectiveness in detecting tri-nucleotide deletion mutations and determine the frequency of these mutations in homozygous and heterozygous states in colon cancer samples compared to control group.   Methods: In the present study, a case control was carried out in 2016-2017 to detect the mutations of the three nucleotide deletions of GTG in the position of exon 12 of MSH2 gene. For this purpose, 50 samples of colorectal cancer with 50 healthy samples were studied. At first, genomic DNA was extracted from paraffin tissue samples and then examined by HRMA technique and direct sequencing of the triple nucleotide deletion mutant GTG. The controls used included a sequence of 96 bat games in wild type and 93 bp in the mutant mode. Equal portions of these two were used for the heterozygous state of this site. Finally, the number of samples in each group was compared in one way ANOVA and LSD mean comparison.   Results: The number of heterozygous samples for the site in colon cancer samples was significantly higher than that of homozygous consecutive homozygos. In general, the results of the present study indicated that the HRMA technique had the ability to separate and remove the pairs of homozygos and heterozygotes according to their melting temperature (Tm)   Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the frequency of removal of the three nucleotide GTGs in cancerous samples was significantly higher than healthy ones.     Colorectal Cancer HNPCC HRMA MSH2 Gene 2018 10 01 516 527 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-1919-en.pdf

The etiology of SLE is not exactly defined. However, genetic and environmental factors, hormones and infections have been identified as triggers for SLE. Several organ systems can be damaged following SLE. In the present study, a case of SLE, triggered by bee sting and presented with renal involvement is reported. Methods: This study presents a case report of SLE, triggered by bee sting. Data gathering sheet was prepared. Demographic information, clinical and lab data were observed and medical records were considered. Informed consent was obtained. Patient presentation: An 11-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with the history of fever, malar rash and joint pain, presented from 20 days ago. The child had no presentations of the disease, until he was stung by a bee on his neck. Two weeks later, he developed generalized rash, malar rash, arthritis and photosensitivity. In lab data; anemia, proteinuria, increased levels of anti-nuclear antibody, anti-double strand DNA and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were observed. Class III of nephritis was observed based on the renal biopsy. Treatment with prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine was started and in one year of follow up, favorable outcomes were observed. Conclusions: Based on the presented case and the previous reports, it seems that bee venom might play a dual role in the immune system. Although the beneficial effects of bee venom have been observed in some autoimmune diseases (arthritis), some of the autoimmune diseases have been triggered by bee venom (such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, Henoch-Shonleine purpura, myocarditis and nephritis). This study is of the few studies, reporting SLE following bee sting. So, considering the reported adverse effects of bee venom, the application of bee venom in the treatment of diseases should be reconsidered.       Bee sting Systemic lupus erythematosus Nephritis 2018 10 01 528 535 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2077-en.pdf
