Authors: CERİT Esin , MINIKSAR Dılsad
Published: March 2024

Amaç: Bu çalışma depresyon tanısı olan çocuk ve ergenlerin olumsuz otomatik düşünceleri ile annelerinin psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla ilişkisel tanımlayıcı desende yapılmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, 10.06.2022-01.12.2022 tarihleri arasında Yozgat Bozok Üniversitesi Çocuk Psikiyatrisi Polikliniğine başvurup “DSM 5 Tanı Kriterleri” doğrultusunda depresyon tanısı konulan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 50 çocuk ve annesiyle yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında, çocuk ve ebeveynlere yönelik kişisel bilgi formu, Olumsuz Otomatik Düşünceler Ölçeği (çocuk ve ergen katılımcılar) ve Psikolojik İyi Oluş ölçeği (anneler) kullanılmıştır. Veriler,görüşme odasında depresif bozukluğu olan hastalarla bire bir görüşülerek, araştırmacı tarafından sorular okunarak alınan cevaplar doğrultusunda doldurulmuştur. Verilerin analizinde; hastaların tanıtıcı özelliklerinin karşılaştırılmasında yüzdelik dağılım, ölçek toplam puan ortalamalarının hesaplanmasında aritmetik ortalama, ölçekler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemede ise Pearson Korelasyon testleri kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Çalışmada yapılan istatistiksel analiz sonucunda depresyon tanısı olan çocuk ve ergenlerin %74’ü kız olup yaş ortalamaları 15.42±1.76’dır. Çocuk ve Ergenlerin Olumsuz Otomatik Düşünceler Ölçeği ve annelerinin Psikolojik İyi Oluş ölçeği puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0.05).

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, araştırmanın sonucunda depresyon tanısı olan çocuk ve ergenlerin çoğunluğunun kız olduğu ve kızların olumsuz otomatik düşünce düzeylerinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmasa da erkek katılımcılardan daha yüksek olduğu belirlenirken çocuk ve ergenlerin olumsuz otomatik düşünce düzeyleri ile annelerinin psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı saptanmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızın ruh sağlığı profesyonellerinin çocuk ve ergenlerde depresyonu önleme amaçlı yürüttükleri çalışmalarda risk faktörlerini göz önünde bulundurarak çalışmalarını planlaması konusunda katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Protocol: Neurophysiological Effects of Craniosacral Treatment on Heart Rate Variability v1
Authors: C Cook Andrew
Published: March 2024

Craniosacral treatment is an osteopathic technique grounded in the assumption that there is an intrinsic, fine movement of the cerebrospinal fluid. This rhythmic movement can be utilized for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes by palpation and manipulation of the skull, spine, and associated connective tissues. Therapeutic benefit is likely due to action on the autonomic nervous system, specifically through the vagus nerve. Current literature on the neurophysiological effects of craniosacral treatment is extremely limited, which has contributed to controversy regarding the effectiveness of this technique. Due to this, heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of cardiovascular stress and autonomic system activity is proposed as a tool to evaluate the neurophysiologic effects of craniosacral treatment. HRV can be analyzed in two different bands, high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) power. HF is associated with a parasympathetic response while LF is generally associated with a sympathetic response.In this meta-analysis, we will analyze the effect of craniosacral therapy on heart rate variability.
Novel tank test in zebrafish v1
Authors: Maria Menezes Barra Ivoneide , Patrícia D.c. Bruna , Gomes Lima-Maximino Monica , Maximino Caio
Published: March 2024

The novel tank test (NTT) is widely used in zebrafish to either screen anxiolytic-like or anxiogenic-like effects of compounds or as a behavioral bioassay to understand the neurobiology of defensive (anxiety-like) behavior. The test exploits zebrafish's natural preference for the bottom portions of a novel tank, a consequence of its biotic and abiotic environment in the wild. Advantages of the NTT include its ease of implementation as a fast assay, as well as its sensitivity to anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The main endpoint is the time the animal spends in the bottom third of the tank; secondary endpoints include erratic swimming, freezing, homebase, and swimming speed. The protocol is suitable for adult zebrafish, but has also been applied to other small teleost fish, including the jundiá Rhamdia quelen and the medaka Oryzias latipes.

Joint optimization of condition-based maintenance policy and buffer capacity for a two-component self-repairable serial system
Authors: Meng Yinghao , Lin Mengmeng , Xu Zihao , Yin Zhen
Published: March 2024

This paper investigates a self-repairable serial system with two components and a buffer. Competitive failure processes are considered due to the internal degradation and external shock processes of components. The system reliability is calculated based on the integration of the internal degradation process and external shock process. When one of the components deteriorates to the PM or CM thresholds, it is restored to an imperfect state under dynamic time limitations based on the previous internal degradation and external shocks. As for the other component, it needs to be repaired or not according to the reliability of the component; it needs to be shut down or not based on the buffer status and the allocation of the component in the system. The optimal initial buffer capacity setting and PM threshold at minimum cost are found by minimizing the system's total cost in a given running cycle. Finally, numerical and case studies are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and superiority of the presented model.

Everyday Life of the Rural Population of Ukraine in the Conditions of «Perestroika» in 1985–1991
Authors:   Hryhorii Skovoroda University in Pereiaslav, Pereiaslav, Ukraine, Davydov Dmytro
Published: March 2024

On the eve of Gorbachev’s «perestroika» of 1985–1991, a special type of Soviet family was formed in Soviet society, characterized by the presence of a state or cooperative apartment, saving money for cars and retirement, standing in long lines for scarce or imported goods. Life in the city was becoming more comfortable, while the situation in the countryside was improving slowly and even regressing in some places. It was the worst in villages with a population of less than 100 people. Such settlements lacked basic infrastructure, such as a kindergarten, school, medical center, cultural center, catering facility, etc. The only thing they had was a small shop. In 1985, a republican scientific and practical conference on the complex restructuring of rural settlements was held in Dnipropetrovs’k. The isolated experience of the Dnipropetrovs’k region on the socio-economic development of rural areas was summarized by the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine. The Dnipropetrovs’k version of village reconstruction was considered justified and was used as an example for other regions of the Ukrainian SSR. Understanding the migration problem, the Dnipropetrovs’k region tried to find various incentives for young workers. In particular, it provided housing on a priority basis; provided consumer goods; and retained 25% of the average salary during the term of service for those who left their native village to join the USSR Armed Forces. And most importantly, it created a network of secondary schools that provided the necessary secondary education and the perspective of obtaining an agricultural profession in the vocational education system, thereby encouraging young people to stay in the countryside. At the same time, the village was losing its prestige. There was a growing migration of young people from villages to cities. The birth rate was decreasing. Villages were rapidly «aging». Young people in the countryside wanted to «escape» to the city as soon as possible, as they saw the hard, hopeless life of their parents. Those who «escaped» from the village mostly joined the ranks of workers and received housing in a dormitory in the city. The dissatisfaction of rural residents was primarily caused by the social and domestic sphere. Namely, poor medical care, poor road transport networks, low gasification, trade and cultural services, and water supply. Although the provision of living space exceeded the city’s average, it was significantly inferior in terms of comfort.
Holodomor Denial in the Independent Ukraine
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lviv, Ukraine, Kozytskyj Andrij
Published: March 2024

The main narratives of denial of the Holodomor in independent Ukraine underwent a noticeable transformation. During the 1990s and early 2000s, widespread in Soviet times direct denials of the famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine were transformed into interpretive denials, which consisted in attempts to present the Holodomor as an event that does not correspond to the internationally recognized criteria of the act of genocide. Pro-Russian political environments became the main promoter of denial of the Holodomor in independent Ukraine. Representatives of these political trend considered denial of the Holodomor as an important tool for delegitimization of Ukrainian independence, as well as destabilization of the internal political situation in the Ukrainian state. Denial of the Holodomor was especially active during the presidency of Viktor Yushchenko (2005–2010). At that time, opposition pro-Russian politicians, propagandists and political technologists promoted the thesis that the restoration of the memory of the Holodomor will inevitably occur at the expense of the separation of Ukrainian society, and will also spoil the relations of Ukraine with its «main strategic partner – Russia». During Viktor Yanukovych’s rule (2010–2014), denial of the Holodomor acquired a latent character and was combined with the removal of references to the 1932–1933 famine from education and the public sphere. After the Revolution of Dignity of 2013–2014 and the beginning of Russian aggression in Donbas, denial of the Holodomor in Ukraine takes place mainly in a hidden form.
The Impact of Communication Technologies on the Adaptation Process of Ukrainian Refugees in Slovakia
Authors:   Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, Kazmyrchuk Mariia
Published: March 2024

This article is the result of an ethnographic study designed to reveal the interaction between modern communication technologies and the processes of adaptation of Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia, which takes place in an extremely complex socio-cultural context. The author aims not only to describe the facts, but also to offer in-depth analysis and theoretical reflections that allow us to better understand the impact of communication technologies on the process of refugee adaptation. The article offers a broad overview of the communication tools used by Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia, examining their role in identity formation, adaptation strategies, and interaction with the local population. The author uses ethnological methods to examine the dynamics of these interactions in detail, paying attention to the psychosocial and cultural dimensions of the adaptation process. The article reveals how the use of mobile applications, social platforms, and other technologies affects language learning, cultural heritage preservation, and the development of social networks and virtual communities on Facebook and Telegram. The study details the obstacles and benefits that arise from this interaction, as well as the ethnic and cultural aspects of the adaptation process. It also highlights the blocks of information most often sought by Ukrainian refugees in virtual communities. The author focuses on the issues of cybersecurity and privacy related to the use of technology, as well as their impact on the preservation of individual and collective rights and freedoms of Ukrainian refugees. The article takes into account the ethical requirements and challenges arising from the use of modern communication tools in the process of migration adaptation. The conclusions of the article emphasize that the use of technology is a key factor that helps Ukrainian refugees to preserve their cultural identity, expand social ties, and successfully adapt to the new socio-cultural environment. The article also identifies prospects for further research on the impact of communication technologies on migration dynamics and adaptation strategies.
Consumo de pornografía y normalización de conductas violentas en las relaciones sexuales de los jóvenes
Authors: Muñoz Villanueva Carolina
Published: March 2024

Este artículo analiza la influencia del consumo de pornografía en menores y jóvenes en la normalización de conductas violentas en las relaciones sexuales a través de un estudio teórico donde se examinan diferentes investigaciones tanto teóricas como empíricas que han profundizado acerca de la realidad objeto de estudio. Estas investigaciones constatan la visualización de pornografía como medio de aprendizaje para la reproducción de violencia sexual, y la repercusión que tiene su consumo en las actitudes de los individuos. También muestran que industria pornográfica crea y refuerza estereotipos de género y expectativas poco realistas sobre los cuerpos de las mujeres, lo que puede llevar a presiones autoimpuestas para cumplir con estos ideales y daños psicológicos. Se concluye que el consumo de pornografía no es un factor determinante para la normalización de conductas violentas en las relaciones sexuales, pero sí resulta ser un factor que influye y media, de manera invisible e inevitable, en esa normalización.

Spectrum of white lesions in the oral cavity- A review
Authors: Shiragur Savita S , Srinath Sahana , Yadav Satish T , Purushothaman Akalya , Chavan Ninad V
Published: March 2024

The white lesions occurring in the oral cavity consist of 5% of the oral pathoses but some of these like leukoplakia, lichen planus, proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, etc have a high potential of malignant transformation up to 0.5-100%. As they are visualized as shades of white, they are of diagnostic challenge. Some of the lesions are also associated with other skin lesions viz. lichen planus, pemphigus, etc. The etiology, pathogenesis, and mode of treatment varies with the different type of lesions. This spectrum consists of lesions from harmless reactive lesions to dysplastic and malignant entities. The white appearance of these lesions is may be because of hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, intracellular/intercellular edema, necrosis of the epithelial cell or increased fibrosis. They are seen as patches, papules, or plaques unilaterally or bilaterally in the oral cavity involving buccal mucosa, tongue, palate, labial mucosa, gingiva etc. While there are a few clinical and histological elements that assist in the identification of this wide range of white lesions to arrive at an accurate diagnosis, further lending a hand in providing appropriate treatment for the same.

Published: March 2024

A violência obstétrica é considerada um problema de saúde pública, com grande impacto social. Este estudo qualitativo buscou identificar indicadores na divulgação da informação para processos de conscientização da mulher sobre a violência obstétrica. A partir de uma análise documental de oito cartilhas divulgadas gratuitamente com o objetivo de prevenir a violência obstétrica, foi realizada a análise de conteúdo de Bardin e chegou-se a três categorias: Conceituação e Caracterização de Violência Obstétrica, Orientações e Sugestões de Estratégias no Enfrentamento à Violência Obstétrica; e Aspectos Relacionados à Prevenção por Diferentes Públicos. Os resultados apontaram que materiais informativos, em linguagem acessível sobre a assistência humanizada, podem ser efetivos para a proteção da mulher como gestante, parturiente ou puérpera. Foram discutidos aspectos estratégicos das cartilhas como orientação sobre denúncias e outras ações dirigidas à saúde da mulher, que podem contribuir para uma melhor assistência perinatal. Estudos futuros foram sugeridos no âmbito da disseminação de informações que se voltem para o parto seguro e para o aprimoramento da assistência, potencializando a prevenção dos riscos e o enfrentamento das práticas de violência no cenário obstétrico.
Role of Thulium Laser and Holmium Laser in the Surgical Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Wang Jin , Wu Shikui , Wang Mingsheng
Published: March 2024

Background: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are generally treated holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP). Therefore, it is important to analyze the several surgical procedures used for benign prostatic hyperplasia in terms of their role, effectiveness and safety.
Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis by searching databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Finally, we selected 10 papers including 2,456 patients treated with of thulium laser and holmium laser in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. We did the analysis using RevMan 5.0 with the selected studies until 26 October 2023.
Results: ThuLEP resulted in a smaller reduction in haemoglobin (MD: -0.22, 95%CI -0.32 to -0.13, P<0.001) and a shorter hospital stay (MD: -0.29, 95%CI -0.38 to -0.20, P <0.001). During the postoperative follow-ups, only the IPSS (MD: -0.03; 95%CI -0.11 to -0.06; P 0.58) at the six-month showed statistically significant differences.
Conclusion: ThuLEP has greater security and faster growth than HoLEP.

Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is a major cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant uropathogenic E. coli among Iranian children with confirmed bacterial UTIs from 2012 to 2022.
Methods: A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, MagIran, Iranian Scientific Information Database, IranMedex, and Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology. The antibiotic-specific pooled prevalence estimates were calculated by applying a random-effects model. Freeman-Tukey Double Arcsine transformation was applied. I-squared statistic, and Cochran’s Q test were computed and meta-regression was conducted on latitude of sampling location.
Results: The literature search retrieved 2159 articles, among which 19 articles were included. The highest antibiotic resistance was related to doxycycline, ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, cefazolin, cefuroxime, and amoxycillin-clavulanic acid, 59%, 57%, 54%, 53%, and 52%, respectively. Meta-regression on the latitude was statistically significant for nitrofurantoin (P=0.05).
Conclusion: Resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains were observed in the majority of confirmed bacterial UTIs among Iranian children. The most effective antibiotics for uropathogens were colistin, meropenem, and imipenem.

Background: The prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse is varied in different countries. For validating the results of numerous studies on the prevalence of Pelvic organ prolapse in the world, a meta-analysis study seems necessary to provide an accurate and valid prevalence for planners and researchers in this field. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the worldwide prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse using the meta-analysis method.
Methods: By using valid keywords, searching was done in ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Medline databases, and 22 articles were selected based on inclusion criteria between 2009 and 2021. The quality of articles was checked using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. Meta-analysis was performed on collected data using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA, Version 2). Meta-analysis of data was done with a random-effects model. The heterogeneity of the study was checked using the I2 index. Publication bias was assessed by the Egger test and funnel graph.
Results: The overall prevalence of included studies was 30.9% (95% confidence interval: 24.4-38.2%), (P<0.001, heterogeneity I2=99.8%). Meta-analysis of subgroups in studies that used a questionnaire to estimate the prevalence rate showed the prevalence was 25.0% and, in the studies, used the physical examination was 41.8%.
Conclusion: Studies carried out in different parts of the world have examined the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse using different tools. Since some cases are asymptomatic, especially in the low stage of prolapse, physical examination of pelvic organ prolapse should be considered an essential tool in evaluating pelvic organ prolapse.

Background: Several studies have evaluated the effects of lavender essential oil on the anxiety of hemodialysis (HD) patients, but most of them did not estimate the pooled effect size. The current systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of lavender on anxiety and fatigue among HD patients.
Methods: Eligible studies were selected based on the PRISMA steps and protocol. Literature was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus databases, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar Search Engines until Sep 2022. The risk of bias and analysis were evaluated using version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool and STATA v.14 software, respectively. Effect sizes were pooled using random effect models.
Results: Nine studies were included. Lavender oil significantly reduced the average anxiety of HD patients compared to the control group (SMD: -2.51, 95% CI: [-3.56, -1.45], Z=4.67, P<0.001, I2 :89.9%). Also, it significantly reduced the average fatigue compared to the control group (SMD: -1.56, 95% CI: [-2.49, -0.63], Z=3.29, P=0.001, I2:92.2%). Subgroup analysis indicated controversial results regarding session frequency and drop number of lavender oil.
Conclusion: Using Lavender oil significantly reduced fatigue and anxiety in HD patients.

Published: March 2024

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic hematologic disorder caused by the excessive proliferation of plasma cells and leads to bone lesions, anemia, and kidney failure. No definite etiology has been proposed for MM, but several environmental and genetic risk factors have been implicated so far. Exposure to pesticides, benzene, and organic solvents like methyl chloride have been considered a potential risk factor. Asbestos, ionizing radiation, and wood dust exposure have also been associated with MM. As MM is a relatively rare condition, the number of studies is insufficient, and in many studies, only a few study participants recall exposure to any agents. Therefore, establishing a definite risk factor is cumbersome and further studies with large study samples are needed. By recognizing these occupational risk factors, clinicians can encourage employees to reduce their exposure as more as possible and implement precautionary measures. In this review, we highlighted the current research on the potential association between occupational exposures and MM. Because of these studies, new regulations with the goal of occupational exposure reduction are anticipated in the future.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has become a global public health problem due to its high mortality. So there is an urgent need to find an effective treatment.
Methods: The targeting relationship among circABCB10, miR-130a and PTEN was predicted by the targetscan database (TargetScanHuman 8.0, https://www.targetscan.org/vert_80/). A total of 60 patients which were from the second affiliated hospital of Qiqihar Medical University from 2022 to 2023 were enrolled. The lung condition was detected by CT (Computed Tomography). The expression levels of circABCB10, miR-130a and PTEN in lung tissues were determined by qRT-PCR. The COPD model was established by stimulating normal and silenced 16HBE cells in circABCB10 genes with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) at different concentrations. qRT-PCR was conducted for the expression levels of circABCB10, miR-130a and PTEN, WB for the expression levels of apoptotic proteins, ELISA for the content of inflammatory factors, and CCK8 for the effect of CSE on the proliferation of cells.
Results: CircABCB10 expression increased in lung tissues from patients with COPD and in 16HBE cells treated with CSE. The stimulation on cells with CSE increased the expression of inflammatory factors, while knocking down circABCB10 could reverse this response. The inflammatory response to the knockdown of circABCB10 was reversed by miR-130a inhibitor, which increased the expression of c-caspase 3. The targetscan database predicted the target factor downstream miR-130a was PTEN. Transfecting OE-PTEN reversed the inflammation of knocking down circABCB10, and increased the apoptosis and inflammation.
Conclusion: CircABCB10 can cause the inflammatory response by targeting miR-130a/PTEN axis, which is a mechanism that may lead to the occurrence and development of COPD.

Published: March 2024

Background: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), an important component of ambient air pollution, induces significant adverse health effects. MitoQuinone (MitoQ), a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, has been reported to play a protective role in various diseases. However, the roles of MitoQ in PM2.5 induced pulmonary toxicity remains to be elucidated.
Methods: All the experiments were performed at Higher Educational Key Laboratory for Translational Oncology of Fujian Province, Putian City, China in 2023. Pulmonary epithelial cells (A549) were pretreated with 4 µM MitoQ for 2 h and exposed to PM2.5 for 24 h. Cell viability was tested through CCK8 assay. Oxidative stress state and active mitochondria was used to study MitoQ’s effect on PM2.5 induced injury, and cell apoptosis was measured using a flow cytometer and analyzed by Bcl-2 family.
Results: MitoQ pretreatment significantly relieved a decreased cell viability, subsequently, MitoQ alleviated ROS production and prevented the reduction of T-AOC and GSH and increased the expression of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and p62 in A549 cells exposed to PM2.5. MitoQ restored the decreased mitochondrial dysfunction and dynamics disorder and inhibited activated mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis induced by PM2.5. Furthermore, the decreased ratio of Bcl-2/Bax and expression of Mcl-1 and the enhanced expression of Caspase-3 were reversed by MitoQ pretreatment.
Conclusion: MitoQ might be regarded as a potential drug to relieve PM2.5 induced pulmonary epithelial cells damage.

Background: We aimed to explore the epidemiological trends and characteristics of undernutrition among children and adolescents aged 7~18 years in Macao from 2005 to 2020 to provide insights into the improvement of nutritional status among the youth in Macao, China.
Methods: Based on the data collected from the Citizen Physical Fitness surveillance sessions in Macao in 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020, the prevalence of undernutrition among children and adolescents aged 7~18 years in Macao was calculated.
Result: In 2020, the prevalence of undernutrition among children and adolescents aged 7~18 years in Macao was 12.11%. Among them, the rates of stunting, moderate or severe wasting, and mild wasting were 0.63%, 5.25%, and 6.23%, respectively. The prevalence of undernutrition among boys (13.81%) was higher than that among girls (10.06%). Mild wasting was the main form of undernutrition among students. From 2005 to 2020, the prevalence of malnutrition showed a decreasing trend (P<0.05), but there was a rebound in 2020 from 2015, mainly because it may be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The prevalence of undernutrition among children and adolescents in Macao was lower than that in Mainland China (P<0.01).
Conclusion: The detection rates of undernutrition showed a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2020. In the post-pandemic era, Macao should undertake more effective measures in areas such as promoting balanced nutritional intake, increasing physical activity levels, enhancing school physical education, and incorporating mental health education. These efforts are essential for further reducing the prevalence of undernutrition among children and adolescents.

Background: Soil is an appropriate substrate for the storage and transmission of oocytes of Toxoplasma gondii. Ingestion of soil contaminated with T. gondii oocysts is a major transmission route of human and animal toxoplasmosis. The present study was carried out to investigate soil contamination with T. gondii oocysts in urban and rural areas of Guilan Province, northern Iran.
Methods: Overall, 208 soil samples were collected from 16 cities and villages in Guilan Province, northern Iran from Oct 2020 to Nov 2021. Soil samples were investigated using modified sucrose flotation technique. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect presence of T. gondii DNAs in the samples. Positive samples were further analyzed using nested polymerase chain reaction for GRA6 gene. Moreover, six selected positive samples were used for amplifying and sequencing of the GRA6 gene.
Results: Overall, 31 samples were positive for T. gondii with frequency of 14.9% and ranging from 10.9% in rural areas to 16.3% in urban areas. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between the seasons (P=0.003). The phylogenetic analysis illustrated that our six sequences were similar and closely related to Type I strain of T. gondii.
Conclusion: Results showed relatively high levels (14.9%) of T. gondii oocytes in soil samples of Guilan Province, northern Iran, which provided essential data for the effective prevention and control of toxoplasmosis in the region.
