The aim – to investigate the relation between levels of inflammatory factors and clinical course of the ischemic heart disease with and without coronary atherosclerosis. Materials and methods. We examined 105 patients with stable ischemic heart disease (IHD), age 36 to 84 years (mean age 58.5 ± 9.47 years). There were 48.6 % (n = 51) men and 51.4 % (n = 54) women. Based on angiography data, patients were divided into two groups: group I – 53 patients with IHD and non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA), group II – 52 patients diagnosed with stable IHD with more than 50 % stenosis. In addition to general clinical methods of examination, the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were determined in all patients. The control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals compared by age and sex. Results. According to the results, it was found that in patients with IHD the level of IL-6 was significantly higher compared to the control, in group I: 4.40 [2.12–9.56] pg/ml and 2.46 [2.29–3.47] pg/ml, respectively (p = 0.027), and in group II – 4.15 [2.80–6.68] pg/ml, which also differed from the control group (p = 0.006). There was no significant difference in the level of IL-6 between groups of patients with IHD depending on the lesion of the coronary arteries (p = 0.99). Among patients with IHD, the level of IL-6 was increased in 40.7 % (n = 22) of patients with INOCA and 34.6 % (n = 18) in patients with stenotic atherosclerosis (group II) (p = 0.22). However, the proportion of women with elevated levels of IL-6 was higher in the INOCA (66.7 %) compared to women with stenotic atherosclerosis (26.7 %) (p = 0.033). Positive correlations were found between the level of IL-6 and the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in patients of group I (r = 0.44, p = 0.025), as well as between IL-6 and positive cycling stress-test (r = 0.39, p = 0.01), IL-6 and hsCRP (r = 0.43, p = 0.004). According to the results of multivariate regression logistic analysis, an association was established in patients with INOCA between elevated levels of IL-6 and age, hsCRP, history of myocardial infarction and the number of affected vessels (p = 0.04, p = 0.01, p = 0.04, p = 0.037 respectively). Conclusions. Significant differences in the level of IL-6 were found in patients with IHD compared to the control group. It was found that in patients with elevated levels of IL-6, there was higher proportion of women in the INOCA group, compared to the patients with stenotic atherosclerosis. An association was established in patients with INOCA between elevated levels of IL-6 and age, history of myocardial infarction and the number of affected vessels. Key words: ischemic heart disease, INOCA, іnterleukin-6, highly sensitive C-reactive protein.

Revascularization of coronary arteries is a key method of the contemporary treatment of patients with atherosclerotic coronary stenoses. However, at an intermediate degree of stenosis, the decision on the appropriateness of revascularization may depend on additional studies of the functional significance of anatomical changes. The study of the fractional flow reserve (FFR) may have a special role in such cases. The publication considers an example of determining the extent of endovascular revascularization in a patient with multivessel lesions of the coronary arteries, with intermediate severity of stenosis. The combination of functional class II angina with unclear result of a stress test, as well as the lack of optimal drug therapy at the time of examination led to the decision to assess physiological significance of all existing stenoses by determining the FFR. Based on the FFR, it was decided to continue monitoring the patient, prescribe optimal medical therapy and refrain from revascularization intervention until the evaluation of its results. Key words: fractional flow reserve, stenting of coronary arteries, revascularization, ischemic heart disease.

Enriched bakery projection requires an integrated approach to satisfy consumers, both in the sensory characteristics of the product and in its composition. When implementing this approach, it is advisable to research the influence of enriching ingredients on the baking properties of flour mixtures, in which these ingredients are introduced. As an enriching ingredient was selected dried and milled husks from apple juice of direct spinning, which relates to semi-concentrated alimentary fiber. The results of studying the behavior of model mixtures of wheat flour and concentrated apple alimentary fiber, carried out on Brabender devices – amylograph and farinograph – showed a significant change in baking properties. With an increase in the dosage of the semi-concentrated alimentary fiber in the mixture till 15 %, the dough formation time and its viscosity increase, the stability and complex quality characteristics according to the farinogram decrease, thinning grows. The established patterns can be due to the moisture redistribution in dough because of high water-absorbing and water-retaining ability of alimentary fiber. Established patterns should be taken into account when choosing the type of enriched product, the dosage of the enriched ingredient and technology parameters of enriched bakery.

Low moisture bakery products (donuts, rusks, bread) occupy a certain place in the diet of the population as food products with attractive consumer characteristics. The purpose of the work was to compare the quality indicators and consumer properties of seven product samples. In the form of consumer selection criteria, the packaging, labeling and net weight of the samples, as well as their organoleptic characteristics, were assessed. Quality indicators were determined in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents. Organoleptic and measuring test methods were used in the work: moisture was determined by drying in an oven, acidity by titration, swelling coefficient of donut products in accordance with GOST 32124, crispness of loaves in accordance with GOST 9846. The results of comparative studies to assess the quality and consumer properties of samples of donut products an loaves testify to the compliance of quality indicators with standardized requirements and the absence of unacceptable defects. It has been established that manufacturers fulfill the requirements for product labeling, information is available and sufficient to meet consumer demand about the properties of products. As a recommendation to the manufacturers of crispbreads, the indication on the labeling of the content of dietary fiber can be noted, because the products are declared as cereals and whole grains, while crisp-breads can be positioned as a source of dietary fiber if their amount is at least 3 per 100 g. Humidity and acidity of product samples is within acceptable limits. New data on the identification of compliance with the requirements of regulatory documents of products sold in the consumer market indicate its quality and compliance with the regulated requirements.

Background and Objectives: Considering the adverse effects of obesity and job stress on the physical and mental health of medical staff and reducing the quality of care, the present study was conducted to assess the level of job stress in overweight and obese nurses and its relationship with demographic factors. Methods: The study population of the present descriptive-correlational research included all nurses and paramedics working in Ghaem Hospital. The study sample was selected by census and convenience sampling method. The body mass index of nurses and nursing assistances was calculated, and people with overweight and obesity were selected. The standard OSIPOW job stress questionnaire was distributed among samples, consisting of two parts: demographic characteristics and occupational parameters such as workload, incompetence, duality, position range, responsibility, and physical environment. Based on the scores in each area, the level of job stress was determined and divided into four levels: low, normal, moderate, and severe. Statistical analysis of the collected data was performed using SPSS v. 21. Results: More than 57% of the samples had moderate to severe stress. Body mass index is significantly higher than the standard number (179.07 vs 149 kg/m2), which indicates the presence of overweight and obesity in these people. In general, there was no significant relationship between overweight/obesity with job stress (P>0.05). There was also no significant difference between the mean job stress and variables of gender, age, education, and work experience (P>0.05). The only difference was related to different job positions, so that the nursing assistance group had the lowest level of stress and the head nurse group had the highest level of job stress. Conclusion: Because of the high level of job stress and overweight of nurses, it is suggested to take steps to reduce issues related to overweight and job stress with appropriate management measures and periodic planning.

Background and Objectives: Varicocele is the abnormal dilation and twisting of the veins of the pampiniform network, the spermatic cord of the testis. This event is associated with increased oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant capacity. The consequence of varicocele is a reduction in the quality of sperm parameters and defects in spermatogenesis. Curcumin has been introduced as an antioxidant with multiple and modulating potentials in biological activities. This study investigates the effect of curcumin on sperm parameters and the histological status of testicular tissue in rats with varicocele. Methods: For this study, 50 male Wistar rats were examined in 5 different groups: control, sham, varicocele, varicocele treated with curcumin 50 mg/kg, and varicocele treated with curcumin 100 mg/kg. Varicocele was induced through partial occlusion of the left renal vein. Then, sperm parameters and histological status of testicular tissue were assessed and analyzed using ANOVA test after 2 months of curcumin administration in varicocele rats. Results: This study showed that varicocele led to a significant decrease in motility percentage (P= 0.007), sperm concentration (P= 0.036), and a significant increase in abnormal sperm morphology (P≥0.05) compared to the control group. Although administration of curcumin in varicocele rats with concentrations of 50 and 100 mg/kg led to an improvement in sperm parameters, only in varicocele rats received 100 mg/kg curcumin, the concentration (P= 0.032) and total sperm motility (P= 0.04) significantly improved compared to varicocele group. In addition, curcumin improved the tissue damage caused by varicocele and increased the spermatogenesis index. Conclusion: The present study showed that curcumin improves the low quality of sperm parameters and can be a treatment strategy for future male infertility.

There are several approaches to differentiate MSCs into cardiac-like cells, such as genetic modification. In addition, using of 3D culture, such as hydrogels, increases the efficiency of differentiation. Methods In the present study, lentiviruses containing microRNA 1 (miR- 1) and myocardium (Myocd) were co-transducted to mouse adipose-derived MSCs. Three days after, transduced MSCs were transferred to a hydrogel containing chitosan and collagen. After 21 days, the differentiation of encapsulated cells was evaluated. In this regard, the expression of cardiac markers such as NK2 homeobox 5 (Nkx2-5), GATA binding protein 4 (Gata4) and troponin T type 2 (Tnnt2) at the level of gene and protein were investigated. Results The results of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunocytochemistry showed that co-induction of miR-1 and Myocd in MSCs followed by transfer to composite hydrogel increased the expression of cardiac markers. Conclusion The use of 3D culture such as chitosan/collagen hydrogel improves the differentiation of MSCs and subsequently obtains more mature cells for use in cell-based regenerative medicine

Background and Objectives Microtia-atresia is a rare congenital anomaly, which characterized by a small, abnormally shaped auricle (microtia) accompanied with narrow, blocked or absent ear canal (atresia). Microtia can occur appear either as independent clinical abnormality or as part of a syndrome. Due to hearing loss, 80%–90% of patients are at increasing risk of speech and poor academic performance. This abnormality with genetic predisposition and autosomal dominant or recessive mode of Mendelian hereditary, as well as forms due to chromosomal aberrations, occur in varying degrees from 0.83 to 17.4 per 10,000 births, usually unilateral form with more common in males. Case Presentation In this article, a term male neonate with microtia-atresia, born of a 34-year-old mother, was reported. On initial examination by a pediatrician, not properly formation of external right ear and absence of the ear canal was observed in infant. In a closer examination no craniofacial anomalies and no microtia associated syndrome was not observed.

Background and Objectives: Patients with multiple sclerosis, especially those treated with immunosuppressive drugs, are less immune than normal individuals and may be more susceptible to Covid 19. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge of patients with MS of Covid 19 during the corona epidemic in Jahrom in 2021. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional census study was performed on 191 patients with definite multiple sclerosis in Jahrom in 2021. Data collection tools included a demographic information questionnaire and a standard questionnaire for MS patients’ knowledge of Covid 19. Questionnaire information was collected in SPSS software version 21 and collected using descriptive and inferential statistical indicators. Results: Of 191 patients with MS during coron pandemic, 6.3% of them had coronary artery disease. The mean score of MS patients was (80.7%). There was a significant relationship between demographic variables such as gender, education and number of households with patients’ knowledge (P<0.05). The highest level of awareness was observed in men, patients with postgraduate education and patients with a large number of two-person households and in government employees with excellent economic status. The majority of patients considered the disease phase to be pandemic and the corona to be rapidly transmitted from person to person and its symptoms to be persistent fever and cough. The majority of patients also believed in the protective role of gloves and masks and the use of shields in preventing coronary heart disease. Conclusion: Patients with MS have a good understanding of this stage of the Covid 19 pandemic, while about 10% of them do not follow the quarantine rules completely. Therefore, training programs can be considered for these people who are at higher risk for Covid 19 infection.
