Introduction: Trichomoniasis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection in the world, caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, which infects the urogenital tract of men and women. Approximately, 250 million new cases of Trichomonas vaginalis Infection are reported worldwide each year. Trichomoniasis is also considered an important HIV co-infection. The infection is often asymptomatic but can be accompanied by symptoms such as severe inflammation, itching and irritation, foamy discharge, and malodorous smell mucus, but the signs and symptoms of the disease are not sufficient for specific diagnosis. Material and Methods: In this study, the websites of PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, and Margiran were searched and related articles were reviewed. Results: Only screening and the use of highly sensitive and specific diagnostic methods can identify asymptomatic individuals. Today, the most common way to diagnose the infection is to use wet slide, Pap smear and culture methods that do not have high sensitivity and specificity. Also, due to the increase in infection and its complications, finding an efficient, rapid, and easy test to detect the parasite and differentiate Trichomoniasis vaginitis from other sexually transmitted diseases is considered important and necessary. Conclusion: Nowadays, there are several diagnostic methods that differentiate trichomoniasis infection from other sexually transmitted infections with high accuracy and sensitivity. Of course, existing diagnostic methods mostly use women's urine and vaginal samples for diagnosis, and methods that specifically diagnose the infection in men are more limited.

Introduction: Impaction is one of the most common tooth abnormalities which has multiple pathological consequences. The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of impacted and semi-impacted teeth and to determine the impaction angle of different teeth in patients referred to the maxillofacial radiology department of dental school, Mazandaran University of medical sciences in years 2013-2019. Material and Methods: The panoramic radiographs of patients who were referred to oral and maxillofacial radiology department of Mazandaran dental school were observed. Impaction or semiimpaction angle of third molars were determined by Winter’s classification. Statistical analysis were conducted by using Chisquare test, Fisher’s exact test, Mann Whitney U test and Spearman correlation test (α=0/05). Results: 3200 panoramic radiographs were analyzed, and the prevalence of impaction, complete impaction and semiimpaction were calculated to be 25/8%, 3/7% and 23/6% respectively. The mesioangular impaction (48/3%) was the most prevalent kind of impaction. Statistically, age was correlated with the jaw involving tooth impaction (P=0/01), this correlation wasn’t observed about sex (P=0/161). Conclusion: Impacted teeth were observed in approximately one third of the radiographs. Impaction was more common in the mandible and the most prevalent kind of impaction was determined to be the mesioangular impaction. As the impacted tooth can cause problems we conclude that they must be extractedat an early age.

Introduction: Schistosomiasis is an infection caused by the deposition of large male and female worms (trematodes) in the bladder veins. Infection caused by this trematode is also known as bilharziasis. The disease has been or continues to be present in African countries and some Asian countries such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, southern Portugal, Greece, and especially Egypt. The entry of Schistosoma haematobium heads into the skin begins with local symptoms, known as swimmers itch, and is more common in people who are in some form of contact with ambient water. The infection affects the kidneys, ureters, bladder and genitals. In endemic geographical areas, schistosomiasis has been implicated as an etiological factor in the pathogenesis of bladder, colon and kidney cancers, especially bladder cancer occurring in such geographical locations almost two decades earlier than in non-native areas. The urinary type of this disease can also cause prostate cancer. Material and Methodes: In this study, the websites of PubMed, Google Scholar and Embase were searched and related articles were reviewed. Results: In this study, the effects of host endocrine system, hormonal imbalance caused by schistosomiasis, as well as the effect of epigenetic changes in the host genome on this parasitic infection and its association with bladder cancer were investigated. The association of schistosome egg soluble antigens with prostate carcinogenesis was also noted. Conclusion: Studies show that schistosomiasis can lead to bladder cancer. But there was not adequate evidence available for prostate cancer and this parasitic infection.

Introduction: Body weight gain in children and teenagers is one of the major challenges that cause undesirable health outcomes. Simultaneously with the prevalence of overweight and obesity, children and adolescents are diagnosed with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency in different sides of the world. The present study aimed to assess 25(OH)D status among Iranian volunteers aged 1-16 years and find the correlation between 25(OH)D status and body mass index (BMI) subjects. Material and Methods: The total volunteers included 807 Iranian children aged 1 to 16 referred to the general and endocrinology clinics in Babol city, Mazandaran Province. A trained physician determined anthropometric characteristics. Serum levels of calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), creatinine (Cr), urea, thyroxine (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and 25(OH)D were assessed in all children. Results: 25.27% of the children were 25(OH)D deficient, and 59.1% were insufficient. There was no significant difference in serum 25(OH)D level between girls and boys (P=0.13). A significant negative correlation was found in serum 25(OH)D level with weight (P=0.000, r=-0.12), BMI (P=0.000, r=-0.13), and age (P=0.000, r=-0.13). Conclusion: These data displayed that 25(OH)D insufficiency is highly prevalent among children in the north of Iran. Serum 25(OH)D levels are affected by age and BMI value. Improving vitamin D deficiency helps to maintain the health of children and adolescents during this critical period.

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide disease caused by an intracellular protozoan called Toxoplasma gondii and in mothers who become infected during pregnancy, it can cause serious damage to the fetus by passing through the placenta. The aim of this study was to review the effectiveness of the NASBA molecular technique in diagnosing the acute form of Toxoplasmosis in pregnant mothers. Material and Methods: In this study, the websites of PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, Magiran, Web of Science, IranDoc were searched and articles related to the title have been reviewed from 1990 to 2020. Results: Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification (NASBA) is an isothermal method that has the processes of nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and identification of amplified products. This technique is based on transcription and is specifically used for RNA amplification, so it is highly specific in identifying living and active microorganisms. All steps in this amplification method are performed at 41 °C and the amplified products can be identified by appropriate detection methods such as electrochemical luminescence (ECL). Conclusion: Since all steps of amplification are performed by NASBA at the same temperature of 41°C, unlike molecular PCR technique, a thermocycler is not required, so setting it up will not cost much for laboratories and it can be useful in providing a suitable solution for toxoplasmosis screening in pregnant mothers.
简介:弓形虫病是一种由细胞内原生动物刚地弓形虫引起的世界性疾病，在怀孕期间被感染的母亲中，它可以通过胎盘对胎儿造成严重损害。本研究的目的是回顾NASBA分子技术在诊断急性弓形虫病孕妇中的有效性。材料与方法:本研究检索了PubMed、Google Scholar、SID、Magiran、Web of Science、IranDoc等网站，检索了1990 - 2020年间与该题目相关的文章。结果:核酸序列扩增(NASBA)是一种等温法，具有核酸提取、扩增和扩增产物鉴定的过程。该技术基于转录，专门用于RNA扩增，因此在识别活微生物和活性微生物方面具有高度特异性。该扩增方法的所有步骤均在41°C下进行，扩增产物可通过适当的检测方法(如电化学发光(ECL))进行鉴定。结论:由于NASBA在41℃的温度下完成所有扩增步骤，与分子PCR技术不同，不需要热循环仪，因此实验室设置成本不高，可为孕妇弓形虫病筛查提供合适的解决方案。

Introduction: Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite that infects the urogenital tract of men and women and causes trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted disease in both men and women. The infection is often asymptomatic, but it can be accompanied by symptoms such as severe inflammation, itching and burning, foamy discharge and foul-smelling mucus. In one year, 250 million cases of Trichomonas vaginalis were reported worldwide. Material and Methods: In this study, the websites of PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, and Margiran were searched and related articles were reviewed. Results: Today, the most common treatment for this disease is the use of metronidazole. However, its side effects, which include hematological and neurotoxic effects, cannot be ignored. Because of these side effects, researchers are looking for a suitable replacement for metronidazole in the treatment of trichomoniasis. Researchers' desire to use herbs can be due to various reasons such as fewer side effects, better patient acceptance, recommendation of traditional medicine, lower prices of herbs and also compatibility with the normal physiological function of the human body. Conclusion: Considering the inhibitory effects of medicinal plants on the growth and proliferation of Trichomonas vaginalis in vitro, it can be concluded that the use of these plants can have many applications in the treatment of trichomoniasis. As a result, by studying more about their advantages and disadvantages, it is possible to make a drug that has higher therapeutic effects with fewer side effects.

Introduction: Cumin (Nigella Sativa) seed oil extract has some ingredients which have antimicrobial effects. The essential oils present in cumin act as antimicrobial agent and it influence on different type of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and also viruses, parasites and fungi. This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial properties of cumin extract in disinfecting dentistry surfaces. Material and Methods: This study was performed experimentally and had three groups of cumin extract, Deconex and control group. For each of these groups, 12 culture media were prepared and we counted the colonies created in 24 hours and 48 hours and significance level was assessed using SPSS software and t-test. Results: At 24 hours, there was a significant difference between the bacterial colony counts of the petri dishes from Cumin Seed (Nigella Sativa) Oil Extract at 5.83 and the Deconex at 0. And at 48 hours, there was also a significant difference since the bacterial colony count on the petri dishes with Cumin (Nigella Sativa) Oil Extract was too many to count and a 0.83 bacterial colony count for the petri dishes with the Deconex. Conclusion: The Cumin (Nigella Sativa) seed oil extract is not suitable to use as an alternative disinfectant of dental surfaces lonely. But some of its ingredients such as thymoquinone and hydroquinone can be used to produce a disinfecting solution.

This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial properties of cumin extract in disinfecting dentistry surfaces. \u0000Material and Methods: This study was performed experimentally and had three groups of cumin extract, Deconex and control group. For each of these groups, 12 culture media were prepared and we counted the colonies created in 24 hours and 48 hours and significance level was assessed using SPSS software and t-test. \u0000Results: At 24 hours, there was a significant difference between the bacterial colony counts of the petri dishes from Cumin Seed (Nigella Sativa) Oil Extract at 5.83 and the Deconex at 0. And at 48 hours, there was also a significant difference since the bacterial colony count on the petri dishes with Cumin (Nigella Sativa) Oil Extract was too many to count and a 0.83 bacterial colony count for the petri dishes with the Deconex. \u0000Conclusion: The Cumin (Nigella Sativa) seed oil extract is not suitable to use as an alternative disinfectant of dental surfaces lonely. But some of its ingredients such as thymoquinone and hydroquinone can be used to produce a disinfecting solution.","PeriodicalId":22117,"journal":{"name":"Tabari Biomedical Student Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87316009","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}
Introduction: Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient in humans, and its deficiency is reported in many disorders, including tuberculosis (TB). The current study's goal is to evaluate the anti-TB effect of Zn supplementation among pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Material and Methods: In this study, 74 newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients referred to Qom Health Center were distributed into two groups of receiving 50 mg of zinc sulfate and placebo. All patients in both groups received the same antituberculosis antibiotics. Before starting treatment and after two and six months of treatment with antituberculosis drugs, the serum levels of zinc and biochemical parameters were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and a RA1000 Auto Analyzer, respectively. Results: After two months of treatment, the serum Zn concentration in the Zn receiving group was higher than the placebo group. After anti-TB treatment, body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin were significantly higher than pretreatment in both groups. The serum alkaline phosphatase changes, uric acid, creatinine, and urea were not significantly different in both groups at different times. Conclusion: The supplementation of Zn micronutrient results in improved BMI, serum Zn, and other biochemical parameters compared to before treatment.

Introduction: Moral courage is one of the core values in the nursing profession and is defined as standing up for what is right. Considering the importance of the issue of moral courage in nurses and its effects on the quality of nursing care, this review study was conducted to investigate the moral courage of nurses and related factors. Material and Methods: A narrative review study was conducted in 2021. English and Persian databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Iran Medex, SID, Magiran) were searched with the keywords such as Moral courage OR Moral OR Courage AND Nurses OR Nurse moral courage. Inclusion criteria allowed for cross-sectional studies conducted from 2000 to 2021 (published in English or Persian language journals), studies that had key words in their keywords or their titles and standard instruments for measuring Moral courage in nurses. Results: Of the 175 publications found, 16 were selected after reviewing the title, abstract and full article. Findings of the study showed that the moral courage of nurses was moderate. Four factors related to moral courage include factors related to the individual, factors related to ethics, factors related to the negligence of medical staff, factors related to the organization. Conclusion: Considering that the moral courage of nurses has been at a moderate level, so it is suggested that managers in medical centers be diligent in ways to increase the moral courage of nurses. Also, retraining courses should be provided to increase the moral courage of nurses.
