Authors: Abbasi Talayeh , Akbari Ahmad , Nejat Hamid , Saffarian Mohammadreza , Samari Ali Akbar
Published: December 2024

Background: Migration is a widespread phenomenon globally, often leading to adverse mental health impacts for migrants, particularly children. Such impacts highlight the importance of appropriate non-pharmacological interventions to mitigate these potential negative outcomes. Depression is one of the most prevalent psychological consequences among immigrant children and, therefore, requires focused intervention and treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the modified complicated grief therapy (MCGT) intervention in reducing symptoms of depression in immigrant children. Methods: For this study, 20 Canadian immigrant children were selected using simple random sampling, with ten assigned to the intervention group and 10 to the control group. Depression levels in participants were measured using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) self-report questionnaire, which has demonstrated validity and reliability in previous studies. The intervention method, MCGT, was delivered to the intervention group across 12 online sessions via Google Meet, while the control group received no intervention. Depression levels were assessed at three points: Pre-intervention, immediate post-intervention, and one-month post-intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, applying relevant statistical tests to compare pre-and post-intervention scores across study groups. Results: The results indicated that of the 20 children selected, 9 (45%) were boys and 11 (55%) were girls, with an average age of 11.7 ± 1.79 years. The mean ages of fathers and mothers were 41.35 ± 4.96 and 37.35 ± 5.04 years, respectively. Findings showed no statistically significant difference in the average depression scores between the control and intervention groups before the intervention (P = 0.561). However, a statistically significant difference was observed in the mean depression scores between the control and intervention groups immediately after the intervention (P = 0.003) and one-month post-intervention (P < 0.001). In the intervention group, the average depression score decreased by 6.5 points immediately after the intervention and by 10.6 points one month later, whereas an increasing trend in depression scores was noted in the control group. Conclusions: Based on the results, the MCGT intervention method is effective and significant in reducing the depression level of immigrant children. Therefore, counselors and psychologists are suggested to use the MCGT intervention method (as a non-drug method) to reduce depression in children.

Authors: Esfandiari Esfandiar , Kalroozi Fatemeh , Mehrabi Nahid , Hosseini Yasaman
Published: December 2024

Background: Considering the increasing use of decision support systems, specifically artificial intelligence (AI), in the field of medicine, our goal in this study was to identify, from the perspective of physicians working in AJA medical centers, the obstacles hindering the adoption and use of AI in the treatment and diagnosis of patients. Objectives: This study investigated the obstacles faced by specialist physicians working in AJA medical centers regarding the implementation of AI in their professional practice. Methods: A qualitative approach using contractual content analysis was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed using the qualitative analysis method of Granheim and Lundman (2004) from May to July 2022. The study included 20 physicians working in selected AJA medical centers in Tehran. Sampling was conducted based on entry criteria and targeted to ensure maximum diversity. Results: The study involved 20 specialist physicians (15 men and 5 women) from selected AJA medical centers in Tehran, with an average age of 42 years and an average work experience of 14 years. The identified obstacles to the development of AI in these medical centers were categorized into three main groups: Extra-organizational and organizational factors, individual factors, and educational factors. These categories included 10 subcategories: Sanctions and economic issues, organizational attitudes, rules and regulations, available facilities, quality of facilities, knowledge and attitude, individual resistance to change, education quality, educational curriculum, and clinical professors. Conclusions: Iran's unique conditions pose challenges to the development and implementation of AI in its medical centers. This study highlights the need to address these obstacles by revising organizational rules and regulations and educating stakeholders on the benefits of AI. These measures could promote the use of AI in military medical centers and improve the quality of care.
Shikonin Inhibits Oral Cancer Progression Through Suppression of Metastasis and Angiogenesis and Induction of Autophagy and Apoptosis
Authors: Wu Min Huan , Chen Chien Min , Chou Pei Ying , Wang Ching Chiung , Tang You Jen
Published: December 2024

Background: Shikonin, a compound extracted from Lithospermum erythrorhizon, has demonstrated therapeutic effects on cancer; however, its effects on oral cancer remain unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the therapeutic value of shikonin for the treatment of oral cancer. Methods: MTT, colony formation, and Transwell assays were employed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of shikonin on the proliferation and migration abilities of human oral cancer cell lines (SCC-4 and SAS). Apoptosis and cell viability were assessed using the TdT-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay. To investigate the potential anticancer mechanisms of shikonin, RNA sequencing, quantitative PCR, and western blotting were performed to analyze changes in the expression levels of oral cancer cell-related genes and proteins (matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9), VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Beclin-1, autophagy-related genes (ATG5), and light chain-3 (LC-3)). Additionally, animal xenograft experiments were conducted to examine the in vivo antitumor effects of shikonin. Results: The findings revealed that the external application of shikonin specifically targeted oral cancer cells without affecting normal cells and led to a dose-dependent inhibition of their growth. Even at non-lethal doses, shikonin effectively suppressed the production of metalloproteinases, thereby inhibiting cancer cell migration and wound healing. Furthermore, shikonin treatment reduced levels of tumor progression factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and VEGF-C, which are released during the early stages of cancer cell angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Meanwhile, higher doses of shikonin induced cell autophagy and activated proteins such as ATG-5, LC-3B, and Beclin-1. At lethal doses, shikonin further decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, released calcium ions, and triggered apoptotic pathways. However, the administration of a calcium ion chelator (BAPTA-AM) inhibited shikonin-induced apoptosis. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that shikonin induces autophagy and activates apoptotic pathways in oral cancer cells. Shikonin treatment significantly inhibited oral cancer growth and induced apoptosis in a rat model. In conclusion, shikonin effectively inhibited oral cancer cell growth, metastasis, and the expression of tumor progression-related proteins. Given the ease of drug delivery to the affected area in oral cancer, shikonin holds substantial potential for future applications that may improve patient recovery and enhance cure rates.

Authors: Amini Ghazaleh , Pourmoshtagh Hassan
Published: December 2024

Background: The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcusepidermidis strains underscores the urgent need for alternative therapeutic approaches. Probiotics, known for their ability to competitively exclude pathogens and modulate host immune responses, present promising potential in combating S. epidermidis infections. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of probiotics in inhibiting the growth of S.epidermidis. Methods: Staphylococcus epidermidis was isolated from urine samples of hospitalized patients in Isfahan, Iran. Probiotics were isolated from yogurt and milk. The antibacterial activity of these probiotics was assessed using agar well diffusion and broth microdilution methods. Time-kill assays and acid tolerance tests were also conducted. Anti-biofilm effects were evaluated, and the potential inhibitory mechanisms were explored through chemical analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Cytotoxicity was assessed via 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. Results: Two probiotic strains, Streptococcus lutetiensis OR496927.1 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum OR496928, were successfully isolated from dairy products. Both strains exhibited cytotoxic effects on S. epidermidis isolates, with S. lutetiensis demonstrating significant activity at 1/2 minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and L. plantarum at 1/4 MIC. L. plantarum thrived at pH 3, while S. lutetiensis exhibited growth at both pH 3 and 4. Both probiotics showed anti-biofilm activity, though L. plantarum demonstrated stronger effects overall. The strains produced lactic, formic, and acetic acids, which were key factors in their inhibitory effects. Toxicity was observed at a concentration of 50% after 24 hours, while cell viability remained unaffected at lower concentrations. Conclusions: The findings highlight the potential of probiotics to address antibiotic-resistant S. epidermidis infections. Further research is necessary to explore their therapeutic applications and optimize treatment strategies.

Published: December 2024

Background: Recognizing the family’s role as a vital source of support and care for cancer patients, along with the psychological burden borne by family caregivers, is crucial. Utilizing modern technologies presents a new approach to assisting these families. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of web-based training on the caregiving burden of family caregivers of patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on family caregivers of patients with breast cancer visiting the hematology department of Khatam Al Anbia Hospital in Zahedan in 2023. A total of 70 caregivers were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups (35 participants each). Caregivers in the intervention group received web-based training via a researcher-developed website for 20 days. The Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI; Novak & Guest, 1989) was administered to participants in both groups before and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with SPSS-27 software. A significance level of P < 0.05 was set for statistical analysis. Results: No significant difference was observed in the mean psychological burden scores between the two groups before the intervention (P = 0.68). However, ANCOVA analysis, controlling for the pre-test effect, revealed that the mean psychological burden score in the intervention group (77.42 ± 11.87) was significantly lower than that in the control group (85.82 ± 9.69) after the web-based training intervention (P = 0.001). Conclusions: The web-based training intervention significantly reduced the psychological burden of family caregivers of patients with breast cancer. This study demonstrates that a web-based training approach can effectively support family caregivers of cancer patients who are unable to attend in-person training sessions.
