Authors: Heidari Zahra , Ghasemi-Tehrani Hatav , Fallahzadeh Hossein , Nadjarzadeh Azadeh
Published: April 2020

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of flaxseed consumption in improving weight loss and altering anthropometric indices in overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Our hypothesis was that the high fiber and α-linolenic (ALA) contents of flaxseed would decrease weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and fat mass, so it would improve PCOS. Materials and Methods: Sixty eight patients between the ages of 20 and 40 years participated in this double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled study. Subjects were randomly assigned to flaxseed and placebo groups to use 15 grams of flaxseed or placebo daily for 12 weeks. Sixty two participants completed anthropometric measurements before and after study. Results: The results showed that weight, BMI, waist circumference, visceral fat percentage and body fat percentage were significantly decreased and body muscle percentage was significantly increased in both groups. In addition consumption of 15 gr/days flaxseed for 12 weeks by overweight or obese women with PCOS significantly decreased the mean change of BMI ( P -value= 0.04) and in regards of weight, the reduction was marginally significant ( P -value= 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the mean change of waist circumference ( P -value= 0.46), percentage of body fat ( P value= 0.78), muscle ( P -value= 0.18) and visceral fat ( P -value= 0.43) between flaxseed and control groups. Conclusion: These findings represented that flaxseed supplementation could reduce BMI and weight but other factors did not change significantly. Further studies are needed to show that flaxseed can be used as a supplement for weight loss in PCOS.

Published: April 2020

Objective: The theory of self-efficacy is based on the assumption that people’s beliefs about their abilities and talents have a favorable effect on their actions. It is the most important determinant of behavior. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy in type II diabetes (T2DM) patients. Materials and Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, 128 T2DM patients were selected via simple random sampling. At first, the patients’ demographic data were recorded. Then, the persian version of Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) and EI questionnaire developed by Petrides and Furnham were completed. Results: The mean (±SD) age of the patients was 53.55 (±6.2) years. The results showed a significant positive correlation between the total scores of self-efficacy and EI ( P -value: 0.001). Accordingly, increase in the EI score was accompanied with an increase in the score of self-efficacy. Conclusion: EI plays an important role in nurturing self-efficacy beliefs and positive self-concepts in patients and promoting their mental and physical health status. Hence, training courses on EI components can make patients feel highly self-efficacious.

Published: April 2020

Objective: : High intensity interval training (HIITs) can induce weight control, lowering blood pressure and beneficial effects on cardiovascular health in type 2 diabetic patients. The effect of different volumes of these exercises is unclear in type 2 diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of low volume and high volume of short-term intensive training on glycemic indexes of men with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Thirty type 2 diabetes male patients who were referred to Yazd diabetes research center (30 - 46 years old) were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups of low and high volume HIITs groups and control group. The intensity of the exercises in low volume was up to 110% and in high volume up to 80% of the maximum heart rate. The two training groups performed exercises 3 days of week for 8 weeks. Glycemic factors and lipids profile were measured before and after the last training session. Data were analyzed by covariance and paired T-test. Results: Low volume HIIT exercises significantly decreased the glucose ( P -value: 0.01), HbA1c ( P -value: 0.01), insulin ( P -value: 0.005), insulin resistance ( P -value: 0.001), and triglyceride ( P -value: 0.04). Low volume HIIT in the insulin resistance had a significant difference with the control group ( P -value: 0.04). High density lipoprotein in high volume group had a significant difference with the control group ( P -value: 0.021). Conclusion: Low-volume HIIT exercises can be a nonpharmacological approach to improving glycemic factors in type 2 diabetic patients.

Published: April 2020

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), one of the forms of thrombotic microangiopathy, is a severe emergency with non-immune (Coombs negative) anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal injury. HUS is heterogeneous, and its most common form, the typical HUS, is associated with Shiga toxin (Stx) producing bacteria, such asEscherichiacoli,Shigelladysenteriae, andCitrobacterfreundii. Less frequent is HUS, caused by a neuraminidase producing streptococcus (pneumococcal HUS). The most uncommon form is the atypical HUS, which is a genetic orphan disease associated with an abnormality in the regulatory protein of the complement system. HUS has a fairly high mortality rate, amounting to 10–15% on average. The long-term outcomes of HUS depend on its type, as well as on the degree of the primary body tissue damage. According to the data from Novosibirsk Children's Municipal Clinical Hospital No 3 from 1991, 44 cases of HUS in children have been identified. Complete recovery, without any residual abnormalities, was registered in 25 children (56.8% of the cases). Nine children (20.5%) developed chronic kidney disease and 10 (22.7%) of all HUS cases were fatal. Early diagnosis, as well as the identification of pathogenetic mechanisms, is the basis for adequate therapy and outcome prediction.Campylobactermay be one of the causative agents of HUS. Despite new cases ofCampylobacter-associated HUS being registered in the world, the very possibility of HUS induction by this pathogen and its pathophysiology are currently unclear. There is no convincing evidence for both Stx and the neuraminidase-related mechanism of HUS inCampylobacterinfections. Given the high incidence of autoimmune disorders like Guillain-Barre syndrome and reactive arthritis inCampylobacterinfections, it is currently impossible to exclude an autoimmune mechanism of HUS in these diseases. Thus, the role ofCampylobacter, as a new potential bacterial agent of HUS, as well as the pathogenesis of such conditions inCampylobacterinfections, requires further study.

The approximate chemical composition and amino acid profile of Lupinus albus seeds were studied. Protein content of lupin and lupin mlik seeds; 45.2(±0.09) g/100g and 7.25(±0.08) g/100g, respectively; fat content 9.04(±.14) g/100g and 6.01(±0.06) g/100g, respectively. Lupine seeds rich in leucine, lysine and proline: 4.168; 4.059 and 2.620 (g/100 g) respectively. This work made it possible, using the experimental design method, to carry out eighteen trials of dessert cream formulated with different concentrations of lupin milk. The reduction of the quantity of sucrose used to 7.15% instead of 11% and the use of 3.85% Stevia rebaudiana extract have resulted in a dessert cream that is lighter in sugar. The chemical properties of the formulated tests revealed a high protein content ranging from 8.36 to 16.25 g/100 g and a fat content ranging from 3.50 to 4.92 g/100 g. Finally an optimal formula was developed with good sensory characteristics.

Published: April 2020

Flavour is the most important positive attribute in ice cream. However its stability in ice cream during processing and storage get decreased. In order to limit its degradation in ice cream during processing and storage it is beneficial to encapsulate flavor compounds. The aim of this study is to evaluate flavor encapsulated (FE 1 and FE 2) compounds, physico-chemical of different flavor encapsulated ice cream (FEIC 0, FEIC 1, FEIC 2) and sensory qualities of different flavor encapsulated ice cream on different days ( 0 day, 7thd day and 15th day). The ice cream were prepared with 1.35 % of FE 1 and FE 2 in ice cream and were analyzed for physico-chemical and sensory qualities and compared with regular ice cream (control – FEIC 0). The result of the present study shows that shape of the aggregated encapsulated flavour were irregular, but it is spherical in shape when it is dispersed. The size of the aggregated FE 1 and FE 2 did not differ significantly, but size of the dispersed and solubility of different encapsulated flavor differed significantly ( 0.01). Among physico-chemical properties, ice cream incorporated with encapsulated flavour significantly increased ( 0.05) viscosity and melting resistance of the ice cream, but it has not having any influence on pH, titratable acidity (%), fat (%), total solid (%) and specific gravity when compared with control ice cream (FEIC 0). In sensory qualities, colour and appearance of different flavour encapsulated ice cream did not differ significantly on different storage period. The intensity of flavour was significantly higher ( 0.01) in FEIC 0 on 0th day and non-significant among treatments on 7th day. But on 15th day the intensity of flavour was significantly higher in FEIC 1 and FEIC 2 when compared with FEIC 0 were analyzed using sensory panelist. Thus the study revealed that incorporation of FE compound in ice cream improves flavor stability in ice cream without affecting much of its physico-chemical properties.

Anthracyclines are effectively used in many therapeutic regimens for breast cancer (BC). However, the dose-dependent cardiotoxic effect causes certain limitations on their use. Laboratory tests for risk prediction and early diagnosis of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (ACIC) based on measuring the activity and concentration of topoisomerase 2β, the levels of troponins T and I (TnT и TnI), N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide progenitor, remain relevant, but complicate the risk stratification with low specificity. Recently, the number of works devoted to the study of new biomarkers ACIC has been growing: galectin-3, soluble ST-2 (sST-2), and myeloperoxidase (MPO). In this review we analyzed current understanding of the classical markers ACIC and the results of recent studies dedicated to new predictors.

Neuroimmunoendocrine regulation of the thyroid gland involves the use of autoantibodies as regulatory molecules to stimulate or reduce the activity of the tissues of the organ itself. A huge number of regulatory signal molecules and factors, acting directly or indirectly, often plays a much more significant role, both in ensuring normal activity and in pathological processes. In this regard, it was interesting for us to determine the possible effect of dopamine at its various concentrations in the blood on the levels of thyroglobulin and antibodies to thyroid antigens. A survey of 110 men and 206 women aged 22 to 75 years who were born and lived in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and had no diseases of the endocrine and immune system was conducted. Dopamine concentrations were determined in blood plasma, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin (TG), antibodies to thyroperoxidase (at-TPO) and thyroglobulin (at-TG) in serum. Higher concentrations of thyrotropin and thyroglobulin and lower concentrations of at-TG and at-TPO were shown with increasing dopamine levels from undetectable values to normative and excess levels. We explain this by the influence of dopamine on a-adrenoreceptors of antibody-producing cells and changes in the secretion of immunoglobulins class G, subclasses of which include at-TG and at-TPO. The appearance of different from zero values of autoantibodies concentrations in themselves, we associate with the negative impact of the conditions of the North and the prenosological state of the organism. Their higher values in women with low levels of dopamine can be explained by the lack of its immunomodulatory activity.
