Glucantime is currently used to treat this disease, but due to its side effects and high resistance, alternative therapies such as the use of nanoparticles have been considered by researchers. This study aims to investigate the anti-leishmania activity of silver nanoparticles on Leishmania major in vitro. Methods: This is an experimental study on the anti-leishmania activities of silver nanoparticles at different concentrations of 0.75-0.96 µg/ml after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure to 106 live Leishmania major promastigotes. The numbers of live parasites were counted by Trypan Blue on a neobar slide using optical microscope (Hemocytometer method). Glucantime and distilled water were considered as positive and negative controls, respectively. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated by SigmaPlot™ software, v‌ersion 13. All reactions were done three times and their average was considered as final result. Results: All concentrations of silver nanoparticles had anti-leishmania activity, where the concentration of 96 µg/ml had the highest effect (100%) 72 hours after exposure. The IC50 was obtained 36.67, 27.2 and 21.08 µg/ml after 24, 48 and 72 hours of exposure, respectively. Conclusion: Silver nanoparticles have an inhibitory effect on the growth of Leishmania major in different concentrations. However, further in-vivo studies are needed to determine the effictivness of silver nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":20805,"journal":{"name":"Qom Univ Med Sci J","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86453412","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 present study aims to investigate dental mouth and oral pathologic lesions in women with psychiatric disorders hospitalized in two hospitals in Isfahan, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 43 women with psychiatric disorders hospitalized in Modarres and Khorshid hospitals in Isfahan, Iran in 2019 participated. Using a checklist, their demographic information including age, duration of hospitalization, type of disease, and educational level were recorded. Then, their oral cavity was examined in terms of dental health and pathological lesions. The data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 21 using Fishers’ exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and logistic regression analysis. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results: Of 43 women with a mean age of 36.7±13.8 years, 72% had oral lesions. The most common lesions were red-white lesions (23.1%). Moreover, 37.2% of women had dry mouth and 16.3% had self-inflicted oral injury. Dry mouth was significantly associated with the type of lesions and diseases. Self-inflicted oral injury was significantly associated with acute ulcers (P=0.001). Conclusion: Dry mouth and self-inflicted oral injury are high among hospitalized women with psychiatric disorders in Isfahan, Iran. Regular follow-up in psychiatric patients can reduce the incidence of oral lesions and dental caries, or help in their earlier diagnosis and better treatment.","PeriodicalId":20805,"journal":{"name":"Qom Univ Med Sci J","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76974933","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 aims to translate and determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the self-rated fall risk questionnaire (FRQ) for Iranian older adults. Methods In this methodological study, participants were 60 older people who were selected from the Retirement Center in Qom, Iran in 2021 using a convenience sampling method. For translation, the backward/forward technique was used. Then, content validity, face validity, and construct validity were evaluated. To evaluate the construct validity, the known-groups validity (comparsion of groups with and without a history of fall), convergent and divergent validity were used. Reliability was determined by assessing internal consistency. Results The results of known-groups comparison showed that the mean score of FRQ in older people with a history of fall was higher than in older people without a history of fall. The significant correlation of the score of FRQ with the scores of timed up & go test (r= 0.428, P<0.001), and 30-second chair stand test (r=-0.333, P<0.01) confirmed the convergent and divergent validity, respectively. The Kuder-Richardson coefficient (0.624) confirmed the internal consistency of the Persian FRQ. Conclusion The Persian version of the self-rated FRQ has satisfactory psychometric properties. It can be used to measure the risk factors of fall in fall prevention interventions for Iranian older adults.","PeriodicalId":20805,"journal":{"name":"Qom Univ Med Sci J","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90459215","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}

Methods: In this experimental study, 42 male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups of 6. After anesthesia, second-degree burns on the back of the rats’ necks were created and MRSA was then injected into the wound area. The rats’ wounds were treated daily with nanofiber PCL containing Myrtus communis extract and silver nanoparticles. Antimicrobial properties, wound healing percentage, wound area, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels, and total antioxidant capacity were measured. Data were analyzed in GraphPad software using Tukey’s test and ANOVA. Results: The wound area measurement showed the better effects on would healing in the groups treated by PCL+Myrtus communis extract and PCL+Myrtus communis extract+silver nanoparticles compared other groups. In bacteriological studies, the groups treated by PCL+Myrtus communis extract and PCL+Myrtus communis extract+silver nanoparticle showed more reduced bacterial growth compared to the PCL alone and positive control groups. Moreover, biochemical tests showed a decrease in malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels in rats treated by PCL+Myrtus communis extract compared to other groups.

Results: The MDA and TAC in the exercise group were increased significantly compared to the control group (P<0.05), indicating that moderate-intensity endurance exercise significantly increased the TAC and MDA of testicular tissue in Cd-induced infertility. Cd increased oxidative stress markers and reduced antioxidant enzymes. Moderate-intensity endurance exercise significantly increased the antioxidant enzymes.

Since teaching and improving the current situation for students to learn in clinic settings is one of the tasks of medical education centers, the present study aims to determine the learning styles in clinical education among students of Qom University of Medical Sciences (QUMS). Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 on 308 students of QUMS from faculties of Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedical Sciences who were selected by a stratified random sampling method in two groups of apprenticeship and internship. The data collection tool was the Kolb Learning Styles Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. Results: The mean age of students was 23.7±4.3 years; 54.9% were female and 45.1% were male; 64% were undergraduate students and 36% were doctoral students. It was found that 48.1% of students had an assimilating learning style, 24.7% had a diverging learning style, 17.5% had a converging learning style and 9.7% had an accommodating learning style. There was a significant difference between learning styles in terms of the field of study (P=0.03), but not in terms of gender, educational level, marital status and academic year (first-year and final-year students).
