In many cancers, including breast cancer, Fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene expression is increased significantly. In breast cancer cell lines, expression of FASN is higher in HER2 positive cell line like SKBR3 than the others. FASN is the key enzyme for fatty acid synthesis de novo pathway and it is producing palmitate which is necessary for cell membrane formation. Cichorium intybus is a medicinal plant that effectively leads to inhibition of fatty acid synthase and thus reduces the percentage of survival of cancer cell lines. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of methanol extract of Chicorium intybus root on percentage of survival in SKBR3 cell line. Methods: Human breast cancer SKBR3 cell line was cultured in DMEM medium. Methanol extract of Cichorium intybus root was extracted and different dilutions (200, 300, 400, 500 and 600μg/mL) were added to cell culture. Cell viability was quantitated by MTT assay after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Results: Cichorium intybus could decrease cell viability. The effects of extract on cell viability were observed after 24, 48 and 72 hours on SKBR3 cell line and IC50 was 800, 400 and 300 after 24, 48 and 72 hours of treatment, respectively. Conclusions: Our study shows that methanol extract of Cichorium intybus has cytotoxic effects on tumor cells. This is a pilot work for further evaluation in the future.","PeriodicalId":20994,"journal":{"name":"Razavi International Journal of Medicine","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71296979","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}

Oxidative Stress is created by a misbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants towards pro-oxidants. Damage to lipids, protein, DNA, growth and cell function is obtained as result of oxidant. OS has been played an important role in many of diseases. In this study, we assessed the potential for OS by determining the pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance assay (PAB assay) in nurses who worked variable shift patterns; compared with nurses only working day shifts and a non-nurse control group. Methods: Sera of 44 nurses with rotating shift working (night and day) and 43 nurses working day shift only and 80 healthy subjects, who did not work shifts and were not nurses, were collected and serum PAB was measured. Results: A significant higher serum PAB value was observed in shift working and daytime nurses (152.28± 43.64 HK) in comparison to the control group (63.64 ± 34.41 HK index), P Value = 0.001. In day time nurses, also serum PAB between male (119.09 ± 47.14 HK) and female (162.53 ± 37.02 HK) in nursing workers was significant, P Value = 0.005. In the night shift working nurses, there was also a significant difference of PAB value between male (129.89 ± 35.76 HK) and female (170.46 ± 44.47 HK), P value = 0.002. Serum PAB between night shift workers (151.10± 45.02 HK) and daytime nurses (153.44± 42.66 HK) was no significant.

It is often considered a paraneoplastic syndrome, but here we report a case with F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) findings of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) in a patient with RS3PE and suspected of paraneoplastic syndrome. Objectives: To briefly report the potential of FDG-PET/CT in rheumatic settings. Methods: An 83-year-old male with a history of prostate adenocarcinoma simultaneously with RS3PE presented with pain and stiffness of the shoulder and hip girdles to the department of rheumatology. He was anemic and had hypersedimentation of 106. He also complained of sore and swollen hands compatible with RS3PE. The patient had a previous course of RS3PE, presented as a paraneoplastic syndrome, together with his prostate cancer one year earlier, which resolved when the prostatic cancer was in remission. FDG-PET/CT was performed due to suspicion of repeat paraneoplastic syndrome. Results: FDG-PET/CT findings showed no evidence of malignant disease. There was diffusely increased FDG in soft tissue around the shoulders and hips and FDG-positive axillary lymph nodes consistent with PMR. Conclusions: RS3PE and PMR may belong to the same clinical entity. FDG-PET/CT has a potential role in the management of PMR as well as other rheumatic diseases.","PeriodicalId":20994,"journal":{"name":"Razavi International Journal of Medicine","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67422892","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}

However, the best method for early detection of LV dysfunction in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with MR still has not been established. Recently two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) has been used to identify subclinical alterations of myocardial deformation in many clinical settings. Objectives: Our aim was to assess the value of regional and global LV two dimensional strains to predict postoperative LV dysfunction after MVr. Methods: Twenty six patients with severe MR were evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups according to their postoperative LVEF difference, those with a post-op LVEF reduction of < 10% at 3 months (Group 1), and those with post-op LVEF reduction of ≥ 10% at 3 months (Group 2). All data were measured after 3 months follow-up and compared with pre-operative measures. Results: The occurrence of post-operative LV dysfunction was significantly related to left ventricular end-systolic dimension index (LVESDI), NYHA functional class and global longitudinal strain (GLS). A cut-off value of 19% for GLS could predict post-op LV dysfunction with a sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 77%. In addition a cut-off value of 17.7% for long axis strain with a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 77% and a cut off value of -20% for 2-chamber strain with a sensitivity of 77% and specificity 83% could predict LV dysfunction after MVr. Conclusions: Among all measured data LV global longitudinal strain seems to be the most sensitive predictor of postoperative LV dysfunction in patients with severe MR and normal LVEF after surgical repair.","PeriodicalId":20994,"journal":{"name":"Razavi International Journal of Medicine","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71297085","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}

There is still a challenge for dermatopathologists in distinguishing spitz nevus from malignant melanoma particularly in adults since there is no immunohistochemistry or molecular markers which differentiate Spitz Nevus from melanoma. Objectives: The aim of this study is to make clear what clinico-histopathological features of Spitz Nevus are in order to reduce malpractice due to misdiagnosis. Methods: In the present study, a series of twenty two patients have been reviewed who were diagnosed with Spitz Nevous based on proved histopathology features between the years 2009 2013. The patients were evaluated for demographic parameters like age, sex, clinical differential diagnosis, cutaneous location of tumor, tumor diameter, subtype, symmetry, maturation, upper clefting of melanocytic nest, shoulder phenomena, epidermal hyperplasia, type, kamino body, mitotic rate , inflammatory infiltration, pagetoid spread and regression. Results: In our study, 45% of patients were younger than 10 years old. The average age of patients was 14± 11.37. Male to female ratio was 1.44. The commonest location was head and neck. Spitz nevus was the first clinical differential diagnosis in 20% of patients. The commonest variant type was conventional type and then polypoid and desmoplastic types. The mean size of nevi was 0.81 ± 0.59 mm. About 59% of nevi shows epithelioid cytologic features. Other histologic parameters from the most to the least frequency were symmetry (100%), maturation (100%), epidermal hyperplasia (77.3%), kamino body (68.2%), subtype (compound 68%), mitotic rate (63.6%), clefting (59%), inflammatory infiltration (54.5%), pagetoid spread (18.2%), shoulder (37.5%) and regression (9.1%).
