Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of group behavioral activation therapy on nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy in women with breast cancer.   Methods: The present clinical trial study was a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population were all patients with breast cancer referred to Iranmehr Hospital in Birjand in 2018. Initially, a structured interview was conducted on 60 women with breast cancer referred to the hospital using the available method. At that point, 32 patients were selected by admission and randomly assigned to two groups. Data were collected through demographic questionnaires and nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy (2016). The treatment protocol was based on the group behavioral activation pattern presented to the intervention group in 8 sessions of 120 minutes per week and the control group was placed on a waiting list. The obtained data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance with SPSS-20 software.   Results: Mean post-test scores of severity subscales (p<0.05, F=84.148), duration (p<0.05, F=22.174), acute nausea and severity of acute vomiting (p<0.05, F=6.741) in the intervention group was significantly lower than the mean post-test scores of the control group, but no significant difference was obsereved between the mean scores of the post-test subscale of acute vomiting in the intervention and control groups after eliminating the pre-test effect (p= 0.019, p<0.05 and 765).   Conclusion: Group behavioral activation therapy significantly reduced the tensity/duration of acute nausea and the intensity of acute vomiting induced chemotherapy in women with breast cancer. Thus, this therapy can be a practical and promising treatment during chemotherapy.      Behavioral Activation Nausea and Vomiting Chemotherapy Breast Cancer 2020 6 01 275 292 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2427-en.pdf 10.52547/armaghanj.25.3.275

Bone cancer is a very serious type of cancer and occurs when osteoporotic cells have problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of simvastatin on bone cancer MG63 cell line.   Methods: In the present experimental study conducted in May 2017 in the Medical Sciences Branch of Islamic Azad University, MG63 cells were cultured and subsequently incubated with different concentration of simvastatin for 24 hours. Afterwards, the IC50 dose was measured using MTT assay. The effects of simvastatin on cell death mechanisms such as apoptosis and necrosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. PCR test was used to evaluate the gene expression of caspase 3, 8 and 9 enzymes. Finally, the cells were treated with IC50 dose of simvastatin and then examined by Hoochst flow cytometry staining technique. The collected data were analyzed using t-test.   Results: The results of MTT test indicated that simvastatin at a dose of 155 μg / ml killed 50% of cancer cells (IC50). On the other hand, flow cytometric evaluation revealed that MV63 cells treated with simvastatin (300 μg / ml) had more than 90% apoptotic cell death compared to the control group. Evaluation of caspase 3, 8 and 9 enzymes using real-time PCR technique displayed a significant difference in the expression of caspase 3 and 9 genes (p <0.001, but no significant difference was observed in the expression of caspase 8 gene (0.05). In Hochst staining technique, the discoloration of the cells in the treatment group compared to the control group indicated that the cell nucleus was dense and fragmented, which indicated apoptotic cell death.   Conclusion: Finally, the results of the present study revealed that simvastatin in cell culture medium can induce cytotoxic and apoptotic effects in bone cancer cells (MG63 cell line), therefore, it is important to consider the possibility of using simvastatin in the treatment of bone cancer.     Simvastatin MG63 Cell Line Bone Cancer Caspase 2020 6 01 293 305 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2642-en.pdf 10.52547/armaghanj.25.3.293

Pentoxifylline as an antioxidant takes a protective effect by reducing free radicals in culture medium. The aim of the present study was to determine and evaluate the antioxidant effects of pentoxifylline on stereological changes in frozen ovarian tissue of mice after freezing.   Methods: The present experimental study was conducted on 25 female ovaries at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2019, which were randomly divided into five groups of five. Group 1 (control): No treatment was performed in this group. Groups 2 and 3 (sham 1,2): In Group 2, after the ovaries were removed, they were placed for half an hour in a CO2 incubator in the saline phosphate buffer + bovine serum albumin (PB1 + BSA) environment, And in Group 3, in addition to being placed in the incubator, 1.8 mM of Pentoxifylline was added to the buffer environment. Groups 4 and 5 (Experimental 1, 2): In Group 4, after the ovaries were removed from the animal's body, the ovaries were vitrified for two weeks, after which time they were melted and placed in a CO2 incubator for half an hour in the saline phosphate buffer + bovine serum albumin (PB1 + BSA) environment, and In Group 5, in addition to vitrified, melting, and incubation, the ovaries were exposed to buffers containing 1.8 mM pentoxifylline. After tissue processing, ovarian tissue sections were studied with stereological methods. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and Kruskal-Wallis statistical test.   Results: The stereological estimation indicated that the total volume of ovaries and cortex increased in control groups 2, experiment 1 and experiment 2 compared to the control group, but no significant increase was perceived (p<0.05). On the other hand, the volume of medulla in control groups 2, experiment 1 and experiment 2 decreased compared to the control group, but this decrease was not significant (p<0.05).   Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, pentoxifylline and cryopreservation increased the volume of ovarian tissue, but despite the antioxidant properties of pentoxifylline, no effect was observed on protecting the ovary from the negative effects of cryopreservation.     Ovary Vitrification Pentoxifylline Mouse 2020 6 01 306 317 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2740-en.pdf 10.52547/armaghanj.25.3.306

Mandibular incisor teeth are usually single-rooted and single-canal, but sometimes have a second canal that, if left untreated, can lead to failure of endodontic treatments. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine and compare the accuracy of periapical radiography with CBCT in observing the second channel in mandibular incisors.   Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional analytical research and fitted to correlation schemes in terms of data collection and analysis methods. The statistical population consisted of 292 periapical radiographs and CBCT of mandibular incisor teeth in 73 patients (including 41 females and 32 males). All patients were required to prepare these images for their treatment process. Radiographs were evaluated by two trained dental students in axial, coronal and cross-sectional sections. The number of lower incisors and their shape were recorded according to Vertucci's classification for dental canal morphology. If there was any disagreement between the two students, the radiologist was consulted to make the final decision. Data were analyzed using t-test.   Results: CBCT examination indicated that 78.4% of mandibular incisors were single-canal and in the rest two-channel, but in periapical radiographic examination none of the teeth exposed the presence of two channels. Central teeth had more cases of two canals than lateral and male teeth compared to women. In Vertuchi classification, among the two-canal teeth, the highest prevalence was related to type four (6.4%) and the lowest prevalence was related to type three (4%).   Conclusion: Although periapical radiography is a routine procedure for endodontic treatment, CBCT radiography should be used when endodontic treatment fails or a second canal is present.   Mandibular incisor CT scan Second canal prevalence Periapical radiography 2020 6 01 374 383 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-2761-en.pdf 10.52547/armaghanj.25.3.374
