Background: Chromosomal breakpoints are the most common cause of hereditary diseases and cancers. Today, many standard clinical methods such as cytogenetic and PCR based techniques are used which have limitation regarding detection resolution. Chromosome conformation capture is a method for detecting gene proximity and chromosomal rearrangements.
Materials and Methods: In this study, SKW3 cell line was used for detecting t(8;14)(q24;q11) using a 3Cbased technique. SKW3 cell line was used for 3C library preparation. For Inverse PCR, two regions were selected in upstream and downstream of the viewpoint locus on chromosome 8-MYC gene based on EcoRI restriction sites. The captured sequence with intra-chromosomal interaction between chr8-c-MYC and chr14-TRD was selected for the translocation PCR primer design.
Results: The DNA fragment captured in 3C PCR showed a specific TRD sequence translocated downstream of the MYC gene. Translocation PCR demonstrated the existence of (8; 14) (q24; q11) MYC /TRD in both library and genomic DNA.
Conclusion: This result demonstrated 3C- based method could be used as a useful low-cost easy operating technique in chromosomal rearrangements detection. In this study, the integration of whole genome library monitoring and PCR method was used as a high- through put method in chromosomal breakpoints detection.

Authors: Baghdadi Soroush , Baghdadi Taghi
Published: July 2020

Background: Congenital patellar dislocation (CPD) is a rare disorder which presents with hypoplastic and irreducible patellae. It is accompanied by flexion contracture of the knee joint, genu valgum, and external tibial rotation.
Case Report: A seven-year-old girl with CPD who was misdiagnosed as having cerebral palsy (CP) crouch gait and underwent distal femoral extension osteotomy (DFEO) without paying attention to the dislocated patellae, is presented. Recurrence ensued, and the patient was referred for further evaluation. After a second surgery to address the dislocated patellae, the flexion contracture and gait pattern improved significantly.
Conclusion: The case underscores the importance of a systematic, thorough physical examination, without which uncommon diagnoses will be overlooked, exposing the patient to further morbidity and complications.
Introducing a Case of Pyoderma Gangrenosum in the Breast
Authors: Akhondi Meybodi Mohsen
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) of the breast is a rare that present as a painful ulcer on the skin. It usually affects people in their 20s to 50s and occurs in both men and women. Typically, PG affects the legs in adults. In children, it may affect the legs, buttocks, head, and neck. Pyoderma gangrenosum is characterized by a papule, nodule, or pustule that progresses to an injured lesion with unknown boundaries. In this study, a case of Pyoderma gangrenosum is introduced after breast surgery. A 38-year-old woman with a 3 cm wound in the right breast area that has gradually grown has been examined for exudative bloody discharge for the past 2 weeks. Two weeks after breast surgery, a three-centimeter progressive wound has formed on the surface of the breast, which gradually grew larger. During treatment, several oral and injectable antibiotics were prescribed that have not been effective in healing the wound. A biopsy lesion was reported in which a non-specific skin lesion with hyperplasia and vesicle formation without malignancy was reported. The patient had no gastrointestinal symptoms. Infliximab was started and continued for the patient.
Conclusion: In the differential diagnosis of resistant skin wounds, especially in the leg area, and in this case in the breast the diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosome should always be considered. Even if the patient has no history of inflammatory bowel disease, pyoderma gangrenosum may occur before intestinal manifestations.

Authors: Mohammadi Eftekhar , Nikseresht Fatemeh
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Evidence suggests increased oxidative stress and improved total antioxidant status resulting from regular exercise in the heart tissue of diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of increasing endurance training on the levels of antioxidant enzymes and the total antioxidant status of the cardiac tissue of diabetic mice.
Methods: In this experimental study, 24 Wistar male rats (aged 10 weeks and weighing 256±11.8 g) were divided into 4 groups of 6.The training program lasted for 8 weeks with increasing endurance training. It was measured 48 hours after the completion of the protocol levels of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, glutathione, and glutathione peroxidase) and the total antioxidant status of rat heart tissue. One-way analysis of variance test was used for intergroup comparisons and Pearson test was used to investigate the relationship between indicators.
Results: The results showed a significant difference in total antioxidant status, catalase and glutathione (P = 0.001) and were not significant in glutathione peroxidase (P = 0.240). Moreover, a follow-up test showed a significant increase in total antioxidant status and catalase (healthy exercise, healthy control, and diabetic exercise compared to diabetic control), Glutathione (healthy exercise (P = 0.001) and healthy control (P = 0.049) compared to diabetic control); (Healthy exercise (P = 0.003) compared to diabetic exercise. Finally, some correlations between antioxidant enzymes and total antioxidant status were significant.
Conclusion: According to research results, increasing endurance training appears to increase levels of antioxidant enzymes and improve total antioxidant status, thereby it reduces oxidative stress in the heart tissue of diabetic mice.

Blunt abdominal trauma is one of the leading causes of the morbidity and mortality in all age groups. Among all the causes of deaths due to injury, abdominal damage accounted of about 10%, and in children - 8.5%. Timely imaging takes a key place in assessing abdominal injury in traumatized children. Computer tomography (CT) is a method of visualization that allows recognize and evaluate characteristic signs of the traumatic damage in hemodynamically stable children. Modern multislice spiral computer tomographs (MSCT) provide high quality of the image due to the improvement of both scanning methods and post-processing facilities. Currently, CT allows most accurately detect lesions of parenchymal and hollow organs, as well as reveal and quantify intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal fluid and blood. In addition, CT has an exceptional sensitivity in the diagnosis of the combined trauma of various organs and systems. The use of CT as the main screening method for the examination of traumatized children along with the improvement of maintenance therapy plays a crucial role in the success of the not operative treatment of trauma to parenchymatous organs. The rapid assessment of the state of traumatized children according to CT findings also contributed to the decline of the incidence of complications and mortality rate. The decision about surgical intervention in a small number of children in need of surgical treatment is primarily made on the basis of clinical criteria, not CT results. Thus, CT mainly determines non-operative decisions regarding, for example, duration of hospitalization, intensity of care and limitation of the activity. In this paper, we propose a standardized CT technique and the main symptomatology that determines the severity of the damage of abdominal organs in children, based on own experience, taking into account the world literature data on CT.

Published: July 2020

The choice of tactics for the treatment of open arterial duct (OAD) in newborns is one of the most controversial and debatable topics in neonatal medicine. There are several approaches in the treatment of OAD in small infants: 1) the prophylactic use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors; 2) treatment on the background of maintenance therapy without the medical and surgical intervention; 3) drug stimulation of the closure of the AOA; 4) surgical intervention. Surgical treatment, which can be done with the aid of the open surgery and thoracoscopy, still plays a leading role. Complications associated directly with the operation are minimal. In this study, we present a review of the literature, including current information on the most frequent complications arising from the surgical treatment of OAD in newborns - damage to the lungs with the development of pneumothorax, damage to the great vessels with circulatory disorders, wound to the left phrenic nerve followed by paresis of the left diaphragm dome, damage to the recurrent nerve with impaired function of the left vocal cords, damage to the thoracic lymphatic duct with the development of chylothorax, damage to the muscles with development of functional scoliosis. Special attention is paid to the prognosis of the course of the disease and the survival rate of low birth weight infants.

Aim: Alternative technologies for the aging of wine spirit, as for other spirit beverages, have been developed over the past decade in order to meet consumer and industry expectations of differentiation and sustainability. Physicochemical characterisation of the resulting products has been carried out, but no previous research has evaluated their antioxidant activity. This preliminary study examined the effect of an alternative ageing technology (micro-oxygenation combined with wood staves from chestnut or Limousin oak in 1000 L stainless steel tanks) in comparison with traditional technology (250 L new barrels) on the antioxidant activity and related phenolic composition of the wine spirit.Methods and results: The wine spirits resulting from both technologies were sampled after 8, 15, 30, 180 and 365 days of ageing. Samples taken were analysed using the DPPH method, HPLC and total phenolic index. Significantly higher antioxidant activity (50.43 % vs 36.42 % DPPH inhibition), together with greater enrichment in wood-derived compounds (51.79 vs 27.72 total phenolic index), was achieved in wine spirits aged using the alternative technology than in new barrels. Moreover, chestnut wood stood out from Limousin oak wood with higher promoted antioxidant activity (62.69 % vs 21.35 % DPPH inhibition), and higher phenolic index (49.03 vs 25.67). Significant correlations between the wine spirits’ antioxidant activity, total phenolic index, ellagic acid, gallic acid, vanillin and syringaldehyde concentrations were observed, particularly in those aged using the alternative technology.Conclusion: Micro-oxygenation combined with staves resulted in higher accumulation of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity, thus increasing wine spirit quality and adding value to the product.Significance of the study: These preliminary results show that the characteristics acquired by the wine spirit, coupled with those revealed by previous research and the promotion of faster and cheaper ageing, make the alternative technology a promising option for the industry.

AbstractThe empowerment of village farmers by the private sector and the government has a significant difference. Three factors influence the impact of empowerment on improving the welfare of farmers, namely the quality of empowerment facilities, the intensity of empowerment facility provision, and the quality of empowerment facilitators. Nglanggeran Village farmers receive empowerment facilities from the regional government in the form of plant seeds, fertilizer, livestock germs, pens, and training once a year. This is only enough for one growing season and is often late. When empowered by the Obor Tani Foundation, farmers receive facilities in a package called the Farmers Empowerment Center. The facilities are in the form of ponds, farmhouses, agricultural production facilities, training on 11 pillars of agricultural cultivation, and farmer cadres to guide farmers for 3.5 years. When empowered by the government, farmers only produce for individual food needs and do not fix the main agricultural problems in the village. When empowered by the Obor Tani Foundation, farmers' incomes have risen as well as the main agricultural problem in the village which is lack of water can be solved. Farmer empowerment strategies undertaken by the Obor Tani Foundation can be used as learning by the government to improve the quality of farmer empowerment.Keywords: Farmer empowerment, Regional government, Non-government foundation.

ABSTRACTMaintain urban agriculture with its multifunctionality is very important in national agricultural development. This study aims to know the existence of rice farming land in Makassar City, identify of the strength factors and weakness factors for farmers of rice farming in Makassar City and know the priority strategies used to maintain rice farming land in Makassar city. Informants in this study were heads of farmer groups and government representatives. The analytical method used is qualitative descriptive whereas to know strategy priority need to maintain rice farming land used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with support Expert Choice software 11. Results of the study conclude that the existence of rice farming land in Makassar city can be seen physically with a land area of 2,636 hectares and through land use by people who still manage rice farming land. Strength factors for farming in rice farming land in Makassar City are agricultural products that are consumed for family food sources, as a source of income, incapable condition of the peasant, the selling price of land is low and farming land are families inheritance while the weakness factors of farmers are land ownership status, unproductive land conditions, inappropriate and undistributed of government supporting for farmer's needs,  limited fertilizer availability, pest and plant disease and there is no regeneration to manage existing land; the strategy priority needed in maintaining rice farming land in Makassar City for farmers is  enhancement agricultural production facilities and infrastructure Keywords: Strategy; Rice Farm Land; Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a common clinical chronic degenerative disease associated with high morbidity and long-term disability. Previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of acupuncture on knee osteoarthritis. Fire needle acupuncture is a combination of heat and acupuncture, which may be more effective than the commonly used filiform needle acupuncture. This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fire needle acupuncture compared to filiform needle acupuncture in knee osteoarthritis patients.Methods and analysis: A total of 100 participants will be randomly assigned to two different groups. Participants will receive fire-needle acupuncture treatment in the fire needle group, while participants in the filiform needle group will be treated with a filiform needle at the same acupuncture points as the fire needle group. All participants will receive a 6-weeks of treatment (2 times per week). The primary outcome is the change of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and the secondary outcomes include the change of the Visual Analogue Scale, and 12-item Short Form Health Survey from baseline to endpoint. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval of this study was granted by the Research Ethical Committee of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Capital Medical University (2018SB-066). Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Outcomes of the trial will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications.Trial registration: The trial is registered on Dec. 20, 2018, and the registration number is ChiCTR1800019579.

Introduction Responsiveness has become an important health systems performance indicator in evaluating the ability of the health care systems to meet the expectations of the patients. However, its measurement in sub-Saharan Africa remains scarce. This study aimed to assess the responsiveness of the health care services among the insured and non-insured elderly in Tanzania, in order to contribute with relevant knowledge to improve the performance of the health care system among the elderly in the country. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 where a pre-tested household survey administered to elderly (60 +) living in Igunga and Nzega districts was applied. Participants with and without health insurance who attended outpatient and inpatient health care services in the past three and twelve months were selected. Responsiveness was measured based on the WHO-SAGE questionnaire that included the dimensions of quality of basic amenities, choice, confidentiality, autonomy, communication and prompt attention. Quantile regression was used to assess the specific association of the responsiveness index with health insurance and socio-demographic factors.Results A total of 1453 and 744 elderly, of whom 50.1% and 63% had health insurance, used the outpatient and inpatient health services respectively. All the different domains were rated relatively high but the uninsured elderly reported better responsiveness in all domains of outpatient and inpatient care. Waiting time was the dimension that performed worst. Possession of health insurance was negatively associated with responsiveness in outpatient (-1; 95% CI: -1.45, -0.45) and inpatient (-2; 95% CI: -2.69, -1.30) care. Conclusion The uninsured elderly reported better responsiveness than the insured elderly in both outpatient and inpatient care. Special attention should be paid to those dimensions, like waiting time, which ranked low. Further research is necessary to reveal the reasons for the lower responsiveness among insured elderly. A continuous monitoring of the health care system responsiveness is recommended.

Background: Childbirth preparation classes can reduce pregnant women’s anxiety and fear for their childbirth. However, to evaluate women’s feedback and their satisfaction with these classes, there is a need for a standard instrument that is suitable for Iranian context. This study is aimed to translate and conduct a psychometric analysis of the Satisfaction with the Childbirth Education Class Questionnaire (SCECQ) for Iranian population. Methods: The questionnaire was translated from English into Persian through the forward-backward translation method. The cluster sampling method was employed to select 205 pregnant women with gestational age of 35-37 weeks from all health complexes of Tabriz, Iran. The face, content, and construct validity of the research instrument were assessed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were measured to evaluate the overall reliability of the questionnaire.Results: The impact scores of all items were above 1.5. The content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR) of the questionnaire were 0.88 and 0.94, respectively. The convergent construct validity of the whole questionnaire and those of its three subscales were confirmed through the exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The factor loadings of no items were below 0.3, and the X2⁄df ratio was smaller than 5. The overall model validity was confirmed by having the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) smaller than 0.08. Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were 0.93 and 0.96, respectively, indicating the acceptable reliability of the questionnaire.Conclusion: The Persian version of this questionnaire, entitled SCECQ is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring Iranian women’s satisfaction with childbirth education classes.
