Materials and methods: Thirty-two adult white female rats were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 was anesthesized with ketamine (40 mg/kg) and group 2 was anesthesized with propofol (100 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. A full-thickness piece of skin on the back of rats (2.5 × 8 × 8 cm) was incised while the flap base was preserved. The flap was immediately returned and sutured using 5.0 separate sutures to the original location. Apparent healing was daily assessed by measuring the necrotic and healthy areas and the survival rate of the skin flaps was evaluated after photography. Histopathological evaluation was performed by a blinded pathologist on days 1, 4, 7 and 21 in three zones of the flap: up, down and middle. Serum interleukin 1 and 6 were measured before and 12, 24 and 168 hours after creating the flaps. Results: Flap survival rate on day 21, and IL-6 on day 0, 12 hour and day 1 were significantly higher in propofol group than in ketamine group. IL-1 was not significantly different. Histological signs of healing were more prominent in propofol group. Conclusion: It appears that propofol has a more significant effect on skin flap survival in comparison with ketamine, but further and more precise studies are required to confirm this finding.","PeriodicalId":263834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131361075","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}

Thiol peroxidase is encoded by tagD gene and plays a significant role in colonizing H. pylori in the stomach. The product of tagD gene stimulates the immune system in the host. This study aimed to isolate and clone tagD gene in the eukaryotic expression vector PFLAG-CMV-3 as a DNA vaccine candidate. Materials and methods: In this experimental research, tagD gene (537 bp) was amplified by PCR. The PCR products were cloned using cloning commercial kits (Thermo Fisher Co., COUNTRY) in pTZ vector. This gene was subcloned in the eukaryotic expression vector (PFLAG-CMV-3 vector), then transferred into CHO cells by electroporation method and was expressed. Results: The results indicate that amplification and cloning of tagD gene was successful, and the pTZ-tagD vector was formed. PFLAG-CMV-3 vector construction was confirmed by digestion and gene sequencing. The 19 kDa band was observed by gene expression analysis on SDS-PAGE. Conclusions: tagD gene in the PFLAG-CMV-3-tagD recombinant vector has the ability to produce specific protein in CHO cells. Therefore, this gene construct is useful to evaluate the immunogenicity as a DNA vaccine against H. pylori infection in animal models.","PeriodicalId":263834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122546128","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}

Finally, the cells were transferred to a new growth medium for the first passage. Results: Fibroblasts were evaluated in different days in terms of growth and morphology by a fluorescent microscope. Cells with clear oval or spindle-shaped nucleus with one or two nuclei were observed, which correspond with fibroblast morphology. The culture media were clear and showed no opacity or microbial or fungal contamination.

Some research confirmed this gene responsible for resistance to methicillin and association with these agents. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of resistance genes of biocides such as qac A/B and smr in coagulase negative staphylococci. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 60 samples of Staphylococcus epidermidis and 49 samples of Staphylococcus saprophyticus were collected over 9 months from clinical samples. After the initial biochemical tests and confirmation of genus and species of isolates, specific primers were used to study aqcA/B and smr genes through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Data were analyzed using chisquare test. Results: Of 60 isolates of Staphylococcus saprophyticus, 36 isolates (60%) had mecA. Among these, 19 isolates (52.77%) had qacA and 21 isolates (58.33%) had smr. Furthermore, of 49 Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates, 27 isolates (55.1%) had mecA and among those isolates, 11 isolates (22.44%) had qac A/B and 8 isolate (16.32%) had smr. Conclusions: The results of our study showed the widespread presence of qac A/B and smr in clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci. Given the low frequency of qacA/B and smr in the isolates sensitive to the antibiotics, it is necessary to evaluate antibiotic resistance for treatment of microbial infections.","PeriodicalId":263834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125723389","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}

Precise identification of pathogenic strains can be effective in the control process of microorganism antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to identify the Enterococcus species isolated from hospitals in Tehran and examine their antibiotic resistance pattern by phenotypic and genotypic methods. Methods & Materials: This study was performed on 400 clinical samples from different hospitals in Tehran during 20152016. Specific cultures and biochemical tests were used to identify Enterococcus, distinguish E. faecalis and E. faeacium species and PCR method was used to identify Enterococcus species. Antibiotic susceptibility was examined using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion, and CLSI and vancomycin MIC were measured using broth dilution. Results: Of the 400 samples, 278 Enterococcus species were recognized. Phenotypic methods recognized 70.86% E. faecalis, 15.46% E. faeacium and 13.68% other species. PCR identified 72.3% E. faecalis, 10.43% E. faeacium and 17.27% other Enterococcus species. Results of the antibiograms showed the highest resistance (83.34%) to quinupristin/dalfopristin, and the lowest (1.41%) to linezolid. Also, resistance to vancomycin was observed in 5.95% with MIC ≥ 512 μg/ml in 9 cases. Conclusion: Rapid diagnosis can prevent massive outbreaks of Enterococcus. Given the prevalence of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus, preventive measures are imperative. The right antibiotics should be prescribed according to the resistance patterns after susceptibility test is performed for each patient.","PeriodicalId":263834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128111912","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}
