Today, compounds with immunolodulator properties can be replaced with routine drugs. One of them is Deacetylchitin. This study aimed to evaluate proliferation and survival of spleen immune cells treated by Deacetylchitin nanoparticles on breast cancer mouse model. Materials & Methods: Deacetylchitin nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method. Zeta Sizer device measured electrical charge of nanoparticles and their size was measured by DLS and SEM. The tumor was created within two weeks after injection to BALB/c mice and then different mice groups were treated with Deacetylchitin nanoparticles and controls with PBS. After three weeks, the mice were sacrificed. The proliferation and survival of spleen lymphocyte was evaluated by MTT. Results: Deacetylchitin nanoparticles induce proliferation of spleen cells culture. Lymphocyte proliferation showed a significant increase in Deacetylchitin nanoparticles of treated group compared to control (p <0.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that chitosan nanoparticles can stimulate the immune system and proliferate lymphocytes. This combination can be used as a medicinal supplement to stimulate the immune system to be effective in immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":144559,"journal":{"name":"Urmia medical journal","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127343522","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}

The aim was to investigate the protective role of curcumin as an antioxidant on the seminal vesicle tissue in adult mice treated with sodium arsenite.

After 5 weeks of treatment, the mice were anesthetized and the seminal vesicles were removed and weighed. This followed by evaluating of the mean total volume of seminal vesicle and the mean volume of parenchyma, vesicular fluid, epithelial cells, vessels, connective and muscular tissues using stereological techniques. The results analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test and the means were considered significantly different at p<0.05. Results: A significant reduction in the mean total volume of seminal vesicle and mean volume of vesicular fluid (p<0.001), and a significant increase in the mean volume of connective tissue (p<0.001) were seen in the sodium arsenite group when compared to the control ones. The mentioned parameters were compensated to the control level in the sodium arsenite + curcumin group.

Magnetic properties, stability at various conditions (temperature , ionic strength and pH) and selective function are among the advantages of these polymers in determination of nutraceutical compound. In current research, a molecularly imprinted polymer synthesized by application of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles and its functional properties were evaluated. Materials & Methods: In order to fabricate polymer, firstly Co-precipitation method was used for manufacturing of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated by silica. Then stigmasterol imprinted polymer were prepared by grafting sol-gel procedure. Finally obtained polymer were eluted by mixture of ethanol-water-chloroform to create specific sorbent cavities for stigmasterol. Polymer was incubated with stigmasterol stock solution and binding capacity was determined through high performance liquid chromatography. Results: Structure and morphology of samples were evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy and Zeta sizer was used for determination of their zeta potential. MMIPs could separate 78 % of stigmasterol from stock solution during 60 minutes and its binding capacity was 19.5 mg/g. FT-IR spectrometry and zeta potential data revealed well-designed coating of silica around magnetic Fe3O4 cores. Adsorbent silica layers were reinforced through sol-gel polymerization method. Polymer morphology was porous, coarse and particle dimensions were less than 50 nanometers. Conclusion: So regarding separation and structural characteristics of properties these sorbents, the produced magnetically imprinted nanopolymer can be used for detection of stigmasterol as a neutraceutical compound.","PeriodicalId":144559,"journal":{"name":"Urmia medical journal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129543611","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}

Many experts in the field argue that Learners need English for a particular task or a field of study and successful courses are those that concentrate on one particular area in teaching English. Accordingly, the present study attempts to investigate the issue of whether the English teacher or the field specialist or their cooperative instruction is more effective. Materials & Methods: Three groups of 130 medical students participated in this study. The first experimental group taught by cooperation of both an English teacher and a field specialist and also, two other experimental groups, one taught by a field specialist alone and the other taught by an English teacher. One test of reading comprehension was developed, which was used both for the pretest and the posttest; besides, a vocabulary test was designed, which was used both for pre and posttests. Mixed methods experimental research design was utilized for the present study. Results: Both qualitative and quantitative analyses revealed that the class taught by the cooperative method held more positive attitudes toward learning English and they paid more attention to reading skill. Conclusion: The findings of the study showed that among language skills, reading was considered the most important by the students, and cooperative teaching was so effective in students' achievements in both reading comprehension and vocabulary tests.","PeriodicalId":144559,"journal":{"name":"Urmia medical journal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126979369","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}

Patients undergoing surgery may experience such a common complication. The high mortality in patients with delirium and lack of a rapid recovery from the disease, reveal the importance of addressing this problem. So the purpose of this study is to show the risk factors in the major head and neck cancer surgeries that cause delirium and help patients. Materials & Methods: .In this study, 104 patients with head and neck cancer candidates for surgery in Imam Reza Hospital in Tabriz university of medical sciences were studied. Demographic characteristics and risk factors of delirium were recorded and a personality test of MMPI was performed . All selected samples were studied. Data, based on T-TEST and ANOVA were analyzed. Results: Based on obtained information %49.4 of study participants were female and %59.6 of men. More than16% of them had previous disease such as Hypertension, Diabetes, Cardiac Infarction, Atrial fibrillation and pulmonary disease. Results showed that %90.4 of patients was without delirium and %9.6 of them has experienced delirium. Findings also showed that the most frequent diagnosis in terms of MMPI test sequence was related to anxiety disorder such as schizoaffective and severe depression. Results indicated a significant relation between literacy and the likelihood of patients experiencing delirium is P=%0.5. A significant relation between the type of surgery and the risk of delirium exists in the cancer of the larynx (P=%0.1) and also there was meaningful relation between the factors of the MMPI and delirium experiencing MA (p=%0.5) Pd (p=%0.5).
