The cytokine visfatin is increased in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Visfatin is an insulin-mimetic adipokine that may also play a role in the development of diabetes and inflammatory reactions. The aims of the present study were to investigate the association of visfatin gene polymorphism rs4730153 with anthropometric characteristics, visfatin level, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in an Iranian diabetic/pre-diabetic population. Materials and Methods : This case-control study was conducted on 70 participants with pre-diabetes/diabetes and 70 participants as a control group. Serum levels of insulin and visfatin were measured using ELISA kits and other parameters were determined by standard methods. The genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: The results showed no significant differences in the levels of cholesterol, insulin, visfatin between diabetic and non-diabetic subjects ( P >0.05). Regression analysis of genotypes showed that rs4730153 polymorphism is not associated with type 2 diabetes ( P >0.05). There was no significant difference in genotype distribution and allelic frequencies between the insulin- sensitive, insulin- resistance, and intermediate groups ( P >0.05). A significant difference in cholesterol levels were observed between patients with different genotypes ( P <0.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that there is no association between visfatin and Type 2 diabetes. There is no significant relation between rs4730153 polymorphism with diabetes and insulin resistance but it has association with lipid metabolism.","PeriodicalId":291099,"journal":{"name":"Koomesh journal","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114663545","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}

Lesion was made by bilateral microinjection of ibotenic acid into neostriatum. The exercise groups were subjected to a protocol of running on a treadmill for four weeks Results: Findings showed that ibotonic acid microinjection significantly decreased learning and spatial memory ( P <0.05). Forced treadmill exercise could get better learning and spatial memory, but it could not significantly improve learning and spatial memory impairment induced by ibotenic acid injection in striatum. On the other hand, four weeks forced treadmill exercise enhanced anthropometric characteristics in lesion group ( P = 0.03).

Materials and Methods : Four comprehensive health service centers in the Aradan district participated in this cross-sectional study during fall 1399. The research tool was a checklist consisting of 39 standards and 231 evaluation measures defined in twelve performance dimensions extracted from the national accreditation model to comprehensive health care centers. The study was conducted in two stages of self-assessment and external assessment after educating managers and staff of healthcare canters regarding the nature of accreditation, contents of the assessment tool and method of completing it. The performance level of healthcare centers was determined based on compliance of accreditation requirements, which is embedded in the used model. In this regards, the scores of 1, 0.5 and 0 were allocated to \"full compliance\", \"partially compliance\" and \"no compliance\" respectively; therefore, the level of compliance of embedded requirements from healthcare centers in each measure, standard and dimension were calculated as a percentage. Results: The compliance rate of comprehensive health service centers with accreditation standards/measures in the “self-assessment” and “external evaluation” are 71.47 and 15.43 percent, respectively. The “community-centered services” dimension with a score of 93.75% and the “service delivery evaluation” dimension with a score of 0, had the highest and lowest performance levels in terms of compliance with accreditation standards in the self-assessment part; while in the external evaluation part, the “service continuity” dimension with 29.63% and the dimensions of “community-centered services”, “quality and safety of services” and “health systems research” with a score of 0, had the highest and lowest level of performance, respectively. Conclusion: The performance of the centers, which took part in this study, has notable weaknesses, which emphasizes the need to design and implement promotional interventions with the participation of experts and process owners.","PeriodicalId":291099,"journal":{"name":"Koomesh journal","volume":"275 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134207003","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}
