Feyz Medical Sciences Journal Feyz 1029-7855 2008-9821 2023 27 1 Investigating the effect of cytotoxicity of nanonisome containing the extract of Artemisia annua on breast cancer cell lines Zahra Rastgar zahrarastgar2030@gmail.com Fariba Khosravinejad f.khosravinejad@iau-tnb.ac.ir Background: Niosomes are primary-bilayer vesicles used in anticancer drugs. The aim of this study is the synthesis of nisome nanocarrier containing Artemisia Annua extract and its anticancer charactersitics. Materials and Methods: This in-vitro study was carried out at the Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch, from December 1400 to September 1401. Firstly, a niosomes nanocarrier was synthesized with the thin-layer hydration approach. Then, Artemisia Annua extract was loaded into them. Following that, physical and chemical features of nanocarriers were evaluated utilizing scanning electron microscope (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The encapsulation level and the release pattern of the extract were valiadated vi a dialysis bag. Finally, its anticancer effects were investigated on breast cancer cell line (MCF_7). Results: The results showed that the synthesized nanocarrier of nisome containing the extract has a spherical structure and its size was 208.1 nm and the encapsulation percentage was 62.35%. It was also found that the nanocarrier of loaded niosom had significant anticancer effects compared to non-loaded extract. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the nisome-containing Artemisia Annua extract of medicinal plant increases the anti-cancer effects significantly, and therefore, nisome can be used as a targeted drug delivery system for anti-cancer purposes.

Feyz Medical Sciences Journal Feyz 1029-7855 2008-9821 2023 27 1 The effect of sprint interval training with short repetitions on hippocampal Brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels, learning and spatial memory in adult Wistar rats Maryam Afshani maryama111afshani@yahoo.com Esmail Nasiri inasiri@shahed.ac.ir Mohsen Khalili najafabady@yahoo.com Background: Different intensities of exercise may have a different effect on the level of brain-derived neurogenic factor (BDNF). Hence, this study aimed to determine the effect of sprint interval training with short repetitions on hippocampal BDNF level, spatial learning and memory in adult rats. Materials and Methods: Sixteen Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control (CO, n=8) and exercise (EX, n=8) groups. The exercise was performed for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, 4-9 repetitions of 10 seconds sprints, and 1-minute rest. At the end of the training period, the learning and memory of the animals were evaluated by Y maze and shuttle box tests. 48 hours after the test, the rats were anesthetized and the hippocampal tissue was isolated. BDNF levels were measured in hippocampal tissue homogeneity. The independent t-test was used to analyze the data at the alpha level of 0.05. Results: Statistical analysis of the data showed that the level of BDNF in EX hippocampus was significantly higher than that of CO (P<0.001); While there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the results of Y-maze and shuttle box behavioral tests (P˃0.05). Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, it seems that SIT may help to increase the hippocampus BDNF level in rats by spending much less training time (30-40 min./week) than other training protocols; But it has no positive or negative effect on learning and memory.

Therefore, the need for prevention and production of an efficient vaccine is necessary. The aim of the present study is to prepare a niosomal nanostructure containing trivalent immunogen (TF, Bp26 and Omp31) of Brucella as a nanovaccine candidate. Materials and Methods: In this study, after designing the immunogen structure by bioinformatics databases and software, in order to evaluate the immunogenicity of the designed recombinant protein, clone and gene expression were carried out in E.coli BL21. The protein extracted from the culture of said cells was purified by Ni-NTA column. Thin layer coating method was used to prepare niosomes carrying trivalent immunogen and were evaluated using DLS and Zetasizer characterization tests. Then, the amount of trivalent immunogen loading and release was calculated. Results: The results of the characterization confirmed the successful fabrication of niosomal nanosystem containing trivalent immunogen. The results showed that the produced niosomes are in a suitable range of size (100 nm). Trivalent immunogen with high efficiency (81.96%) is encapsulated in the system. The release of trivalent immunogen from Niosomal nanosystem was reported to be 97% after 96 hours. In addition, the trivalent immunogen release pattern of the coated system was more controlled and slower. This confirms the positive effect of the niosome nanosystem. Conclusion: The use of nisome as a nanovaccine agent has an effective role in controlling antigen release and can be considered as a vaccine candidate and increase the protective immune response against Brucella.

Feyz Medical Sciences Journal Feyz 1029-7855 2008-9821 2023 27 1 Comparing the effect of dexmedetomidine with magnesium sulfate on hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy Mehdi Rajabi mrajabi52@yahoo.com Mehrdad Mahdian Mmahdian78@gmail.com Hossin Akbari Akbari1350.h@gmail.com Emad Khan Ahmad emad.khanahmad@yahoo.com Background: Evolution of laparoscopic surgery has been enormous help to both patient and surgeon, although incidence of pneumoperitoneum as consequence of laparoscopic surgery would cause hemodynamic instability. In this study, effect of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate on hemodynamic status during laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been assessed. Materials and Methods: This study was a double-blind randomized clinical trial that was conducted on 61 patients. Patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups. Control group (C) saline infusion, dexmedetomidine group (D) 1 μg/kg and then 0.5 μg/kg/h of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate group (M) 2 g and then 0.9 mg/kg/h of magnesium sulfate they received. Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were recorded at different times before and after taking the drug. Independent T-test, ANOVA, and chi-square were used for univariate analysis and ANOVA with repeated measures for multivariate analysis. Results: The distribution of patients in terms of demographic factors and surgery were the same in the three groups of the study (P<0.05). The lowest values of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure in all three groups were seen at the time of the induction. No statistically significant difference was seen in most of the measurement times between the three intervention groups. Analysis of variance with repeated measurement did not show the interaction effect of time and group on blood pressure (P<0.05), but the effect of treatment groups on heart rate was significant (P=0.018). Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine infusion was generally not effective on the patient's blood pressure changes, but it was significantly more effective on heart rate changes than magnesium sulfate and the control group in almost the entire measurement process. Therefore, in terms of the heart rates, in the dexmethomidine group, the patients experienced more stable conditions.

Feyz Medical Sciences Journal Feyz 1029-7855 2008-9821 2023 27 1 Investigation the concentration of interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and vitamin D in diabetic patients with covid-19 hospitalized in the intensive care unit Farnaz Seifi-Skishahr f.seify@yahoo.com Maghsoud Nabilpour nabilpour@yahoo.com Background: Anti-cytokine considerations and other treatments in covid-19 patients with a history of diabetes can play an important role in preventing mortality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigation the concentration of IL-6, IL-10, and vitamin D in diabetic patients with covid-19 hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: The statistical population of this research was all diabetic patients with covid-19 hospitalized in the special care department. 16 of them were selected as a statistical sample by the census. Cytokines were measured using a special kit for IL-6 and IL-10 based on the manufacturer's instructions, using the ELISA method. A level above 30 ng/dL of vitamin D was considered as a sufficient level, and a level below that was considered as an insufficient and deficient level. Independent t-test was used to compare two groups. In addition, to reveal the effect size in the independent test, Cohen's D effect sizes were calculated for each group. The significance level of all statistical operations was determined by SPSS at the P≤0.05 level. Graphs were drawn using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results: All diabetic patients infected with covid-19 suffered from vitamin D deficiency levels so, the level of vitamin D was between 10 and 20 ng/dl in all of them. Also, the results showed that the levels of both IL-6, IL-10 increased significantly in patients admitted to the intensive care unit compared to healthy individuals (P≤0.05). Conclusion: It seems that measuring the level of IL-6, IL-10, and their ratio along with vitamin D can be used as a useful predictor to diagnosing special care measures in diabetic patients with covid-19.

A clinical trial study Amir Nosrati amir.nosrati1997@gmail.com Babisan Askari babisan.askari@gmail.com masoumeh habibian habibian_m@yahoo.com Background: One of the important goals of therapeutic interventions is to control obesity and vitamin D deficiency, which are associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders and increased homocysteine. In this study, the effect of high-intensity interval resistance training (HIIRT) and vitamin D on homocysteine and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) ​​levels in overweight women with vitamin D deficiency was investigated. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, overweight women with vitamin D deficiency were investigated. The subjects were randomly divided into four groups of 13 (control, exercise, vitamin D and exercise+vitamin D). The exercise groups performed HIIRT with an intensity of 80% of one maximum repetition, and the vitamin D groups consumed vitamin D once a week. The collected data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and paired t-tests. Results: After 8 weeks of research interventions, homocysteine level decreased and TAC significantly increased in the experimental groups (P<0.001). In addition, combined intervention was associated with more changes in homocysteine and TAC levels compared to HIIRT and vitamin D intervention (P<0.001), but HIIRT and vitamin D had a similar effect on the changes of these variables (P>0.05). Conclusion: It seems that part of the optimal effects of HIIRT and vitamin D consumption in the health development of overweight women with vitamin D deficiency can be induced by increasing TAC and decreasing homocysteine.
