Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the effects of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and thyme honey on the expression of Nkx2.5 and Tbx5 genes in the heart tissue of male type 2 diabetic rats. Material & Methods: This experimental study was performed on 36 male diabetic rats which were randomly divided into four groups of control (n=8), HIIT (n=10), thyme honey (n=8), and HIIT+thyme honey (n=10). The HIIT training intervention was conducted in eight weeks (five sessions per week) and included 2 to 8 intervals with 2 min running at 80%-90% VO2max and 1 min at 50%-56% VO2max. Additionally, the supplement groups consumed 3 g/kg of thyme honey, 5 days/week. Both Nkx2.5 and Tbx5 gene expression in heart tissue were measured using real-time RT-PCR. To evaluate the differences among the groups, ANOVA and LSD post hoc tests were used at the significance level of P≤0.05. (Ethic code: IR.SSRC.REC.1399.080) Findings: The results revealed that the expression of the Nkx2.5 gene was significantly increased only in the HIIT group, compared to the control group (P=0.03); however, it was not observed in other intervention groups (P>0.05). The expression of the Tbx5 gene was significantly increased in both HIIT (P=0.02) and HIIT+thyme honey (P=0.02) groups, compared to the control group. Discussion & Conclusion: The HIIT is associated with increased expression of the Nkx2.5 and Tbx5 genes in the heart tissue of diabetic rats; however, it can not be said exactly that thyme honey has similar effects in diabetic rats.","PeriodicalId":16041,"journal":{"name":"journal of ilam university of medical sciences","volume":"211 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80662682","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}

Material & Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and follow-up and control groups. The study population consisted of all women with vitiligo who were referred to Razi Hospital, in Tehran, in 1399. A total of 45 persons who met the inclusion criteria were purposefully selected and randomly divided into 3 groups of 15 people each (two experimental groups and one control group). The study tool included Cook's Internalized Shame Scale (1993). Descriptive statistics and repeated measures analysis of variance was used to test the research hypotheses. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 20). (Ethic code: R.IAU.SRB.REC.1399.125) Findings: Both CFT and ACT therapeutic approaches were effective in reducing internalized shame in patients with vitiligo, compared to the control group. A comparison of the two approaches showed no significant differences between the two experimental groups of CFT and ACT in terms of all components of shyness, self-esteem, and internalized shame.

Material & Methods: The statistical population of this descriptive correlational study included all employees at the national Iranian south oil company from 2020 to 2021. The sample size of the present study was obtained at 371 people based on Cochran's formula. Due to the possibility of incomplete questionnaires, 418 employees were selected by the available sampling method. They were then requested to complete the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), experiential avoidance (AAQ), and alexithymia (FTAS-20). (Ethic code: 140090) Findings: The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient showed a correlation coefficient of 0.39 between experiential avoidance and psychosomatic disorder which was significant at 0.001. Moreover, there was a correlation coefficient of 0.15 between alexithymia and psychosomatic disorder, which was significant at 0.003. In addition, the results of linear regression analysis showed that experiential avoidance could predict psychosomatic disorders. Discussion & Conclusion: Therefore, according to the findings, in order to reduce psychosomatic disorders, it is necessary to conduct interventions on psychological flexibility and emotional expression. Finally, it is suggested that other empirical and quasi-experimental studies be conducted to confirm these results.","PeriodicalId":16041,"journal":{"name":"journal of ilam university of medical sciences","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78133841","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}

Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by MTT and flow cytometry methods, respectively. (Ethic code: IR.IAU.M.REC.1399.010) Findings: The MALAT1 gene was edited by the CRISPR method in MDA-MB-361 cells. The rate of cell proliferation in the cells of the treatment group, compared to the control groups, showed a significant decrease (P<0.05). Apoptosis levels were significantly increased in cancer cells the MALAT1 gene of which had been deleted. Moreover, the expression of BCL2 and survivin anti-apoptotic genes in treated (edited) cells was significantly reduced, compared to control cells (P<0.05). Increased expression of proapoptotic genes P53, BAK, BAX, and FAS was also observed in the edited cells (P<0.05). Discussion & Conclusion: The results of this study confirm that the deletion of the MALAT1 gene has a significant effect on increasing apoptosis and reducing cell proliferation. A reduction in the expression of the MALAT1 gene can prevent the growth and proliferation of breast cancer cell lines. Therefore, it seems that the control of MALAT1 oncogene expression is useful and effective for controlling tumors.","PeriodicalId":16041,"journal":{"name":"journal of ilam university of medical sciences","volume":"121 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80193756","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}
