The number of cases infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19, has been steadily rising globally. Iran, one of the countries with a relatively high number of positive cases, has an inevitable role to play in controlling the pandemic by implementing effective policies and countermeasures to interrupt the viral transmission chain. Epidemic restrictions implemented following an Iranian presidential mandate were especially effective following the Nowruz holidays—the solar New Year celebration in the Persian-speaking culture. These restrictions started flattening the incidence curve of the epidemic in Iran two weeks after implementation, from 10 April 2020. Supplying sufficient face masks, disinfectants, sanitizers, and medical equipment to all government-run and non-for-profit hospitals were included in the presidential mandate. We believe that continuing this policy strictly will be required for further controlling the pandemic throughout the country. *Corresponding Author: Amin Talebi Bezmin Abadi; Email: amin.talebi@modares.ac.ir Please cite this article as: Talebi Bezmin Abadi A, Rahimi F.

在全球范围内,感染导致COVID-19的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒-2 (SARS-CoV-2)的病例数量稳步上升。伊朗是确诊病例较多的国家之一,通过实施有效的政策和对策,阻断病毒传播链,在控制疫情方面发挥不可避免的作用。根据伊朗总统的命令,疫情限制措施在诺鲁孜节(波斯语文化中的太阳年庆祝活动)之后尤其有效。这些限制措施从2020年4月10日起实施两周后,开始使伊朗的疫情发病率曲线趋于平缓。向所有政府经营和非营利性医院提供足够的口罩、消毒剂、消毒剂和医疗设备是总统的任务之一。我们认为,为了在全国范围内进一步控制这一流行病,将需要严格继续执行这一政策。*通讯作者:Amin Talebi Bezmin Abadi;Talebi Bezmin Abadi A, Rahimi F.实施疫情限制措施以遏制伊朗COVID-19大流行:小型回顾。中华医学杂志,2020;6:11 - 11。https://doi.org/10.22037/amls.v6.32966

Background and Aim: Microbiological culture of dialysis water is a routine safety measure. In, Khorramabad laboratories perform these cultures on Muller Hinton Agar (MHA) at 35–378C for 48 h, not on the Reasoner’s 2A agar (R2A agar) at 17–238oC for 7 days recommended by international standards, the objective of the present study was the comparison of the efficiency of R2A and MHA media in the counting of heterotrophic bacteria in the samples of water collected in dialysis centers from 2 hospitals in Khorramabad, from September to November 2019. Methods: A total of 165 samples of treated water in dialysis centers were collected aseptically and then transported in ice‑packs to the Department of Medical Microbiology of the Lorestan University of Medical Sciences and the pour plate technique was carried out for the enumerating of heterotrophic bacteria. Finally, bacterial colonies were counted after incubation at 34±2oC for 48 hours on MHA and 25oC for 1 week on R2A. Results: Results showed heterotrophic bacterial counts in R2A were greater than those in MHA in 89% of the samples, so enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria should be carried out in R2A agar associated with longer incubation times, because of the greater sensitivity. The proportion of water samples yielding colony counts ≥200 CFU/mL by R2A -7d was significantly different from the proportion by MHA-48h (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results proposed using R2A agar combined with relative low culture temperature (20-25°C), and an extended incubation time (7-10 days) is more efficient. However, as the spectrum of bacterial contamination is not similar for dialysis centers and countries, many studies using different media and culture parameters are required to confirm this. *Corresponding Author: Faranak Rezaei; Email: Rezaei.f@lums.ac.ir Please cite this article as: Pouladi I, Delfani S, Hadian B, Soroush S, Anbari K, Rezaei F.

背景与目的:透析水中微生物培养是一项常规的安全措施。在霍拉马巴德实验室中,这些培养在35-378C的Muller Hinton琼脂(MHA)上进行48小时,而不是在国际标准推荐的17 - 238℃的Reasoner 's 2A琼脂(R2A琼脂)上进行7天,本研究的目的是比较R2A和MHA培养基对2019年9月至11月在霍拉马巴德两家医院透析中心收集的水样中异养细菌计数的效率。方法:对165份透析中心处理后的水进行无菌收集,用冰袋运输至洛雷斯坦医科大学医学微生物学系,采用倒盘法进行异养菌计数。最后,在34±20℃MHA上孵育48小时,在25℃R2A上孵育1周,计数菌落。结果:89%的样品中,R2A中的异养细菌数量大于MHA,因此,由于R2A琼脂的敏感性较高,因此应在孵育时间较长的R2A琼脂中进行异养细菌的计数。经R2A -7d处理的水样菌落计数≥200 CFU/mL的比例与经MHA-48h处理的比例差异有统计学意义(p<0.001)。结论:采用R2A琼脂结合较低的培养温度(20-25℃),延长培养时间(7-10 d)效果更好。然而,由于透析中心和国家的细菌污染谱不相似,需要使用不同的培养基和培养参数进行许多研究来证实这一点。*通讯作者:Faranak Rezaei;Pouladi I, Delfani S, Hadian B, Soroush S, Anbari K, Rezaei F.

Background and Aim: One of the side effects of anticancer drugs is spermatogenesis disorder. Hence, the evaluation of sperm production after chemotherapy has been the subject of several studies today. Methods: Adult male albino mice weighing 20±2 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 4);control, cyclophosphamide (12 mg/kg/day), cyclophosphamide and vitamin E (200 mg/kg/day), cyclophosphamide and retinoic acid (500 µL/72h), cyclophosphamide and retinoic acid (250 µL/72h) and vitamin E (100 mg/day). The treatment was continued for 35 days and at the end of the rats was anesthetized and testicular tissue was isolated, weighed, fixed, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Results: A significant decrease (p-value ≤ 0.0001) in the mean diameter of seminal vesicles, epithelial thickness, and index of tubular differentiation was observed in the testis tissue of mice treated with cyclophosphamide compared to the control group. In cyclophosphamide recipients with retinoic acid or vitamin E, parameters significantly increased to the level of the control group (p-value ≤ 0.0001), whereas cyclophosphamide co-administration with retinoic acid and vitamin A had a less tissue-protective effect. Conclusion: Vitamin E and retinoic acid can offset the adverse effects of cyclophosphamide on spermatogenesis and may be inducers of spermatogenesis, while the combination of these two antioxidants has fewer efficacies. *Corresponding Author: Fatemeh Sadat Moravej; Email: akbar.karimi@es.isfpnu.ac.ir Please cite this article as: Karimi A, Behmard V, Toghiani S, Moravej FS.

Background and Aim: Transfection of DNA/RNA sequence into eukaryotic cells has a major effect on scientific studies. Various methods are used to transfer the DNA/RNA sequence into cells, such as lipid-based carriers as the available and easy procedure. Transfection with cationic lipid liposome is introduced as a simple and efficient procedure for monitoring the DNA/RNA sequence through gene function analysis, including fluorescence imaging RNA and protein expression. This study aimed to investigate the transfection efficiency and cell death through GFP expression in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell line KYSE-30 using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent. Methods: The pCDH-513b plasmid DNA was transfected into KYSE-30 cells using Lipofectamine 3000 in different concentrations of the plasmid DNA and reagent. The transfection efficiency was evaluated by fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry analysis to determine the percentage of GFP-expressing cells. Moreover, the viability and death of transfected KYSE-30 cells were evaluated using a trypan blue exclusion assay. Results: The transfection efficiency of KYSE-30 with Lipofectamine 3000 was increased with higher plasmid DNA concentration and a lower amount of Lipofectamine 3000 reagent. The Optimized concentration of 1.5 µg plasmid DNA and volume of one µl of lipofectamine 3000 reagents were identified for 95% transfection efficiency in the KYSE-30 cell line. The viability and death of transfected cells were 43% and 58% after transfection, respectively. Conclusion: The results indicated that Lipofectamine 3000 might not be suitable for transfection in KYSE-30 cells due to increased cell death. *Corresponding Author: Mohammad Reza Abbaszadegan; Email: abbaszadeganmr@mums.ac.ir Please cite this article as: Mahmoudian RA, Farshchian M, Abbaszadegan MR.

SARS-CoV-2 as an emerging coronavirus, which first emerged in late 2019 in China causes a respiratory disease called “Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)’’. SARS-CoV-2 has since infected more than 26 million people worldwide and caused more than 864000 deaths as of September 04, 2020. The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein consists of two subunits: S1 and S2, which plays a role in binding to cellular receptors and mediating the fusion process between the membranes of the virus and host cells. The S protein has an important role to induce neutralizing-antibody, as well as protective immunity, during SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review, we focused on different types of the vaccine against COVID-19. *Corresponding Author: Maryam Fazeli; Email: m.fazeli@umsha.ac.ir Please cite this article as: Zandi M, Rashid S, Nasimzade S, Pourhossein B, Fazel M.

Background and Aim: AmpC β-lactamases are capable of hydrolyzing all β-lactams except cefepime and carbapenems. The detection of AmpC-producing Escherichia coli has a high priority in infection management. This research is aimed to investigate the resistant AmpC- generating E. coli isolates and identify their genetic variety. Methods: In this study, 230 E. coli isolates from patients having urinary tract infection symptoms were investigated in 2017-2018 to assess their susceptibility toward antimicrobial agents. AmpC genes were evaluated by PCR and molecular typing using the 10-loci MLVA method. MLVA images were examined by BioNumerics 6.6 software through the use of the UPGMA algorithms. Results: The highest frequencies of susceptibility among E. coli isolates were to meropenem 96.08%, piperacillin-tazobactam 90.43%, followed by gentamicin 66.54%, ceftazidime 50%, ciprofloxacin 48.26%, ceftriaxone 41.74%. All E. coli isolates were resistant to amoxicillin-clavulanate. Thirty-eight AmpC-generating E. coli isolates were detected. The most abundant determinant was CIT and EBC, FOX, and DHA had the next ranks, respectively. Six major clusters and a singleton were identified by MLVA. Conclusion: AmpC-generation ability is an effective feature in the resistance of E. coli isolates and its investigation is of crucial significance in infection management. The major mechanisms of AmpC beta-lactamase vary depending on time and geographical location. *Corresponding Author: Mohammad Rahbar; Email: rahbar@health.gov.ir Please cite this article as: Dolatyar Dehkharghani A, Haghighat S, Rahnamaye Farzami M, Rahbar M.

Prevalence of JAK2 V617F Mutation in Iranian Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms 伊朗骨髓增殖性肿瘤患者JAK2 V617F突变的患病率
Pub Date : 2020-11-17 DOI: 10.22037/AMLS.V6.32758
M. Hamid, Zahra Shahbazi
Background and Aim: Multiple lines of evidence have been suggested that JAK2 is likely the main candidate gene responsible for the pathogenesis of myeloproliferative neoplasms. The V617F mutation in the pseudokinase domain of JAK2 protein has been detected in a majority of patients. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of this somatic missense substitution among Iranian patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms across different regions of Iran. The JAK2 V617F mutation was identified by allele-specific PCR. To confirm the PCR results, randomly selected positive and negative samples were sequenced. Results: Among 72 identified patients, 45 (62.5%) were found to harbor JAK2 V617F. The frequencies of the mutation ranged 100% for primary myelofibrosis, 75% for chronic myelogenous leukemia, 67% for polycythemia vera, 62.5% for myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms, and 52% for essential thrombocythemia. Our findings revealed that the mutation was more common among men in comparison with women and the correlation between the mutation and gender was statistically significant (p-value<0.01). Additionally, the presence of JAK2 V617F was associated with older ages (p-value =0.009). Conclusion: The JAK2 V617F mutation was detected in 62.5% of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. We have shown that this single acquired point mutation was presented in at least half of the patients. Hence, it seems that the identification of JAK2 V617F mutation in myeloproliferative neoplasms can be very effective in disease diagnosing and management. *Corresponding Author: Mohammad Hamid; Email: hamidi@pasteur.ac.ir Please cite this article as: Hamid M, Shahbaz Z.

COVID-19 pneumonia signs and symptoms are not specific and it may be similar to other cases of pneumonia caused by other microorganisms such as Mycoplasma pneumonia. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of M. pneumonia co-infection among patients with COVID-19 by a systematic review and meta-analysis. Two authors performed the search process independently in Scopus, Web of sciences, and PubMed for studies reporting COVID-19-associated Mycoplasma pneumonia co-infections published in the English language from December 2019 to 1st June 2020. The MeSH terms used in the present review were; “COVID-19”, “co-infection”, “secondary infection”, “2019 novel coronavirus”, “2019-nCoV”, “COVID-19 virus”, “coronavirus disease 2019 virus”, “Mycoplasma pneumoniae”, “M. pneumoniae”, “prevalence”, and “respiratory pathogens”. Data analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-analysis (CMA) software. Heterogeneity among included studies was checked by I2 statistic and the Q2 test. M. pneumonia co-infection was varied between 1 and 40.6% in the included studies. The combined prevalence of M. pneumoniae co-infection among patients with COVID-19 was reported by 17% (95% CI: 7.4–34.3). Overall, our systematic review and meta-analysis showed a quite high co-infection of M. pneumonia in patients with COVID-19 infection, therefore, routine diagnostic tests are recommended for respiratory pathogens like M. pneumonia, because on-time treatment has a beneficial effect on patient survival. Also, an increasing number of cases of asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, the differentiation and diagnosis of pneumonia caused by COVID-19 from non-COVID-19 pneumonia be considered. It helps avoid unnecessary quarantine and waste of medical resources. *Corresponding Author: Hakimeh Akbari; Email: akbarih@gerums.ac.ir Please cite this article as: Akbari H.

Background: Insulin resistance can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. Studies have shown that expression of PPAR alpha improved insulin function in patients with insulin resistance. Also ApoB100 is an essential ligand for the receptors of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Increased plasma level of apoB100 is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its increased production leads to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Q. Infectoria and Z. multiflora extracts on the expression of PPARα and Apo-B100 genes in adipose and hepatic tissues of insulin-resistant rats Materials and methods : Forty Wistar rats were divided into 1- healthy control, 2- high fat control, 3- fenofibrate,4- Q. Infectoria and 5- Z. multiflora groups. All groups were fed with high fat diet for 6 weeks expect for the healthy control. Glucose tolerance test was performed to confirm insulin resistance in rats. Then groups 3, 4, and 5 were treated by fenofibrate , Q. Infectoria and Z. multiflora extracts respectively. After sacrificing the rats, their liver and fat tissues were removed. Real-time PCR was used to assess PPARα and ApoB100 gene expressions. Results: All groups had significant weight gain after 8 weeks. Expression of PPAR-α and ApoB100 genes were the same in Q. Infectoria , Z. multiflora, fenofibrate and healthy control groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, Q. Infectoria and Z. multiflora extracts decreased ApoB100 and increased PPARα gene expressions but these changes were not statistically significant.
背景:胰岛素抵抗可增加代谢综合征的风险。研究表明,PPAR α的表达可改善胰岛素抵抗患者的胰岛素功能。此外,ApoB100是低密度脂蛋白(LDL)受体的必需配体。血浆载脂蛋白100水平升高是心血管疾病(CVD)的危险因素,其升高导致胰岛素抵抗。本研究旨在探讨苦参提取物对胰岛素抵抗大鼠脂肪和肝脏组织中PPARα和Apo-B100基因表达的影响。材料和方法:将40只Wistar大鼠分为1-健康对照组、2-高脂对照组、3-非诺贝特组、4-苦参提取物组和5-苦参提取物组。除健康对照组外,各组均饲喂高脂饲料6周。葡萄糖耐量试验证实大鼠胰岛素抵抗。3、4、5组分别用非诺贝特、侵染菌和何首乌提取物处理。在牺牲大鼠后,取出它们的肝脏和脂肪组织。Real-time PCR检测PPARα和ApoB100基因表达。结果:8周后各组体重均有显著增加。PPAR-α和ApoB100基因在侵染菌、多菌群、非诺贝特和健康对照组的表达相同。结论:综上所述,侵染菌和多花参提取物降低了ApoB100,增加了PPARα基因的表达,但这些变化无统计学意义。

Studies have shown that expression of PPAR alpha improved insulin function in patients with insulin resistance. Also ApoB100 is an essential ligand for the receptors of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Increased plasma level of apoB100 is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its increased production leads to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Q. Infectoria and Z. multiflora extracts on the expression of PPARα and Apo-B100 genes in adipose and hepatic tissues of insulin-resistant rats Materials and methods : Forty Wistar rats were divided into 1- healthy control, 2- high fat control, 3- fenofibrate,4- Q. Infectoria and 5- Z. multiflora groups. All groups were fed with high fat diet for 6 weeks expect for the healthy control. Glucose tolerance test was performed to confirm insulin resistance in rats. Then groups 3, 4, and 5 were treated by fenofibrate , Q. Infectoria and Z. multiflora extracts respectively. After sacrificing the rats, their liver and fat tissues were removed. Real-time PCR was used to assess PPARα and ApoB100 gene expressions. Results: All groups had significant weight gain after 8 weeks. Expression of PPAR-α and ApoB100 genes were the same in Q. Infectoria , Z. multiflora, fenofibrate and healthy control groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, Q. Infectoria and Z. multiflora extracts decreased ApoB100 and increased PPARα gene expressions but these changes were not statistically significant.","PeriodicalId":18401,"journal":{"name":"Medical laboratory sciences","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86933794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
