Antiphospholipid syndrome (APL) is an autoimmune disease documented as a cause of RPL. Thrombophilia, particularly platelet abnormalities, were accredited for RPL. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the change in platelets parameters; specifically, platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width PDW, in patients suffering from RPL caused by the anti-phospholipid syndrome. Patients and Methods: Fifty women with a confirmed diagnosis of APL syndrome having a history of RPL were assigned as a study group and fifty women who gave birth without RPL were set as healthy controls were taken from al Yarmouk teaching hospitals in Baghdad. The personal data were taken by direct interview with patients, and blood samples were taken and analyzed for complete blood counts and platelets indices. Results: Both platelets count and PDW scored significant correlation with the number of pregnancy loss; Pearson's correlation coefficient was (0.74,0.59) respectively for both variables.

A better understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis could lead to more efficient therapeutic approaches. The current study aimed to investigate the Toll-like receptors expression profile in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in COVID-19 patients in Iran. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluate 32 patients. At the admission time based on the disease severity patients were divided into two groups severe and mild COVID-19. A group of 16 normal people was evaluated as the control. Blood samples were collected before any treatment from patients at the admission time. The Blood samples were used for PBMC isolation. RNA extracted from PBMCs and use for the cDNA synthesis. The expression level of TLR-3, 4, and 7 were evaluated by using semi-quantitative real-time PCR. Results: The patient's mean age was 57.12±3.08 years and 15 (47%) were male. The background disorders represent two patients in the severe group with respiratory disorders, 4 patients with cardiovascular disease, and seven patients with diabetes. The TLRs expression levels represent a higher expression of TLR-4 in COVID-19 in comparison with controls for TLR-4 (p=0.00), TLR-3 and 7 also represent up-regulation but there were no statistically significant differences in the relative fold changes (RFC) between groups for all other evaluated TLRs (p>0.05).

Several treatment methods have been proposed to treat diarrhea, however each of them has some problems. Objectives: The aim of this study was the evaluation the effect of oral Saccharomyces boulardii on the duration and severity of colitis. Patients and Methods: This randomized clinical trial study included ninety-four patients with acute colitis were enrolled. The children were divided randomly into case and control groups. The control group received supportive treatment including intravenous or oral fluid therapy (ORS solution), antibiotic treatment with azithromycin suspension, and zinc sulfate syrup daily for five days. In addition to the mentioned treatments, the intervention group received S. boulardii as a probiotic capsule. Then, the duration and severity of diarrhea based on the Vesikari score were evaluated for all the patients for five first days. Results: The mean of Vesikari score after the first day in both groups was similar, while after the third and fifth day in the probiotic group this score was lower than the control group (5.11 ± 1.73 versus 6.13 ± 2.25, P=0.031 and 2.36 ± 1.16 versus 4.28 ±1.19, P<0.001, respectively). Furthermore, the number of diarrhea per day in the probiotic group was significantly lower after the first day in contrast to the control group, which remains significant at the end of the fifth day (2.32 ± 0.51 versus 2.83 ± 1.23, P=0.047).

Objectives: In the current study, phytochemical constituents of the essential oils, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of methanolic extract of the aerial parts of P. uloptera were investigated. Materials and Methods: To determine the main ingredients of the essential oils and to investigate the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of this plant, the GC-MS (gas chromatography - mass spectrometry) analysis, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay and microdilution method were used. Results: The GC–MS analysis showed that the leading constituents of the essential oils were butyl octanoate (24.88%), 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z) (14.19%) and alpha-pinene (19.28%) in the flowers, fruit and leaves, respectively. The greatest amount of phenolic compound was observed in methanolic extract of the leaves (0.5 ± 0.11 mgGAEs/g). Likewise, the greatest level of flavonoids (0.074 ± 12.4 mg QEs/g) was identified in the leaves. Furthermore, DPPH assay showed the most radical scavenging activity (IC50 201.7 ± 20.39 μg/mL) in the methanolic extract of the leaves. The highest total antioxidant capacity was observed in the fruit (0.004 ± 0.0005 g AAE/ml). The antibacterial activity of the plant extracts against the pathogenic fungal and bacterial species was investigated by broth microdilution method. Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) amounts were in the ranges of 312 to 10000 and 1000 to 10000 mg/ml, respectively.

These diseases also correlated with other autoimmune diseases. Objectives: In this study, we aim to evaluate the autoimmune thyroid disease in women aged 35 to 45 years based on Azar cohort study data. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, 507 women 35-45 years old without previous thyroid disease from Azar cohort study were evaluated. Demographic findings, data related to previous pregnancies, abortion, miscarriage, infertility and gestational diabetes were recorded for all patients. Blood samples were taken from all patients to measure TSH and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) levels. Anti-TPO levels ≥40 IU/mL were considered positive. Results: In the studied women, miscarriage occurred in 5.3%, abortion in 27.6% and infertility in 7.3%. Gestational diabetes was reported in 3.9%. The positive anti-TPO prevalence was 21.5%. Patients with positive anti-TPO compared to those with negative anti-TPO had significantly higher cases of hypothyroidism (P<0.001).

Additionally, decreased expression of cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and hormones such as progesterone were observed.

Recent studies have shown an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and various inflammatory diseases. H. pylori is a gram-negative, microbial bacterium that can be resistant to acidic stomach conditions and can interfere with gastric urease production. In this study, we examined the relationship between H. pylori infection in patients with COPD and the prevalence of H. pylori infection. Objectives: Determining the association between H. pylori infection and COPD. Patients and Methods: This case-control study is based on the Persian cohort study of patients who were referred to the digestive disease research center after being identified in the pulmonary clinic for H. pylori fecal antigen. Information on demographic variables and other related variables were obtained. Finally, the collected information was entered into SPSS software version 24 and the results were displayed descriptively using distribution and frequency tables and graphs and analytical statistics were analyzed using t test and logistic regression. Results: Out of 250 patients, 134 (53.6%) tested positive for H. pylori and 116 (46.4%) tested negative. Out of a total of 250 non-infected people; 106 patients (42.4%) were positive and 144 patients (57.6%) were negative. The two groups were statistically significantly different based on the chi-square test (P = 0.012).
