Neutrophils contain the enzyme myeloperoxidase that its main function is to produce reactive oxygen species. On the other hand, physical activity can improve immune function and antioxidant activity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate neutrophil activity, changes in myeloperoxidase levels and total antioxidant capacity of healthy middle-aged men participating in regular leisure time exercises and untrained subjects. Materials and methods: Twenty trained (age 53.58± 2.94 years, BMI 25.47±1.6) and 17 untrained (age 54.17±2.83 years, BMI 27.83±1.12) subjects participated in this study. Subjects performed modified Bruce treadmill test as a model of progressive exercise training. Blood samples were taken before, immediately after and one hour after the end of the test. Results: There was a significant difference in the neutrophil counts of the trained group and also between both groups. Furthermore, the results showed significant difference in myeloperoxidase levels in trained compared to untrained group. Significant changes in total antioxidant capacity were observed in both groups and the trained group demonstrated higher levels of total antioxidant capacity. Conclusion: Participation in regular leisure time exercises can improve neutrophil function, reduce myeloperoxidase levels and increase the total antioxidant capacity of healthy middle-aged men and may potentially slowdown the immunosenescence process.","PeriodicalId":18492,"journal":{"name":"MEDICAL SCIENCES JOURNAL","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89362735","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 of this study was the evaluation of out-of-control high-order aberration changes before and after PRK surgery and these impact on vision outcome. Materials and methods: In this before and after clinical trial study, we recurred 24 patients consist of 48 eyes. For the patients with myopic astigmatism, before the operation, a complete visual examination (visual acuity, refraction, etc.) and imaging including orbscan, zywave, and topolyzer were performed and tests were repeated six months after surgery. The results were compared before and after surgery. Results: 24 patients included 8 males (33.3%) and 16 females (66.7%) with a mean age of 29±5 years recurred in the study. The total higher-order aberration increased after operation. There was no significant difference between the third and fourth-order corneal aberrations before and after the operation. The ocular and corneal high-order aberration was increased. Mean asphericity was similar before and after the operation. Also, significant correlations among spherical equivalent, total high order abbration, and occular abbaration were found. Conclusion: Regarding our study, eye sporadic defect improved after the operation but it would never achieve the optimal goal. According to the findings, it seems that the optimized method with the Allegretto EX500 device, despite its superiority over the conventional method, still induces high-grade aberrations and changes the asphericity from prolate to oblate mode. However, it improves refraction, which affects the quality of patients' vision.","PeriodicalId":18492,"journal":{"name":"MEDICAL SCIENCES JOURNAL","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82732191","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}

Over time, the chronic neuroinflammation will cause some cognitive disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The present study studied the effect of acetyl L carnitine on cognitive and cellular disorders derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)induced inflammation, with emphasis on cellular pathways in the hippocampus of male rat. Materials and methods: In this study, we used LPS with dose of 500 μg/kg of animal’s weight regarding to the previous studies. Acetyl L carnitine was prescribed with three doses of 30, 60 and 100 mg/kg among rats received LPS. Passive avoidance behavior was used to assess learning and memory, and biochemical and molecular methods were used for mTOR, p-AKT, and inflammatory factors. Results: Acetyl L carnitine improved passive avoidance memory as well as working memory in a dosedependent manner. It also prevented the death of hippocampal neurons by inhibiting neuroinflammation by reducing the expression of IL-6 and IL-1B and increasing the levels of mTOR and AKT-p. Conclusion: The present study showed that acetyl L-carnitine can reduce the destructive effects of lipopolysaccharide, which appears to be through increased levels of mTOR and AKT.","PeriodicalId":18492,"journal":{"name":"MEDICAL SCIENCES JOURNAL","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89891328","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}

This study was evaluated the frequency of alpha, beta, and delta hemolysine genes in antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from patients' urine and wound samples. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 100 antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (tetracycline, penicillin, gentamicin, co-trimoxazole, tobramycin, and ciprofloxacin) isolated from wound and urine samples of patients who referred to medical diagnostic laboratories. Then, their antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the disk diffusion method based on CLSI instruction. After examining the MIC and MBC of the samples, a single colony culture was performed for the samples and their DNA was extracted by using a commercial kit. By designing specific primers, hemolysine alpha, beta, and delta genes were amplified in the samples. The results were analyzed by statistical software. Results: In isolated Staphylococcus aureus, the highest antibiotic resistance was related to co-trimoxazole with 63% and the highest sensitivity to penicillin with 53%. There was a statistically significant relationship between resistance to tetracycline and co-trimoxazole antibiotics and age, and also ciprofloxacin showed greater resistance in women than men. The frequency of hemolysine genes was 91% for HLA, 96% for HLB, and 99% for HLD. Conclusion: Penicillin antibiotic with 53% sensitivity seems to be a better candidate than other antibiotics and the high abundance of hemolysine genes should be considered as an important concern in the medical community.","PeriodicalId":18492,"journal":{"name":"MEDICAL SCIENCES JOURNAL","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90585774","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}

Propolis, as a therapeutic compound, has antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of this compound on changes in IL-1β expression levels in AD rats. Materials and methods: 42 adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups, including control, sham, Alzheimer, and propolis. Cellular changes in brain tissue was evaluated by preparing histopathologic slides and effect of propolis on changes in IL-1β expression levels were investigated using Real-Time PCR method. Results: Histopathologic investigations in the studied groups showed a significant difference between scopolamine-treated group compared to control and sham groups in terms of changes in the IL-1β expression levels and cellular damage; whereas there was no difference between the propolis-treated and scopolaminetreated groups in this regard; only-morphological difference in the organization of neurons were observed. The results of Real-Time PCR showed that the IL-1β expression level was significantly different in the propolis-treated group from the Alzheimer's group (p<0.05), indicating that propolis significantly decreased gene expression. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that propolis could be considered as an effective drug candidate for the AD treatment considering its anti-inflammatory property and effect on the decrease of IL1β expression.","PeriodicalId":18492,"journal":{"name":"MEDICAL SCIENCES JOURNAL","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85910724","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}

Three-quarters of the antibiotics known to be produced by these bacteria. As a result, finding new effective compounds from these microorganisms can be a way to treat cancer. The aim of this study was to isolate and screen halophilic or halotolent Streptomycetes from Garmsar salt cave soil that have the ability to produce metabolites with cytotoxic properties against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7, IBRC C10082). Materials and methods: Isolation of Streptomyces from soil sample was done by serial dilution method and cultured on casein agar with 15% Nacl. The isolates were identified by microscopic and macroscopic examinations and the presence of diaminopalimic acid (DAP) in their cell wall. The cytotoxic effect was evaluated using MTT assay and 16SrRNA sequencing was performed to select selected streptomycetes. Results: Secondary metabolites of 2 Streptomyces showed a 50% reduction in the concentration of human breast cancer cells. Streptomyces sp.2 was 100% similar to Streptomyces koyangensis and Streptomyces sp.25 was 95.4% similar to Streptomyces tunisiensis. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that Streptomyces sp.2 and Streptomyces sp.25 secondary metabolites had cytotoxic effect against MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. The metabolite produced by them can be an option for further studies and provide more effective treatment with fewer side effects in the treatment of this disease.","PeriodicalId":18492,"journal":{"name":"MEDICAL SCIENCES JOURNAL","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85172193","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}
