Abstract

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Assessing treatment response in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors necessitates developing more objective and quantitative approaches. A machine learning‐based approach is presented in this exploratory study for GBM patients' treatment response assessment based on radiomics extracted from magnetic resonance (MR) images. Methods MR images from 77 GBM patients were acquired at two post‐surgery stages and preprocessed. From these images, 107 radiomics were extracted from the segmented tumoral cavities. The most informative features for training machine learning (ML) classifiers were identified using the Spearman correlation analysis of features retained by the forward sequential and LASSO algorithms. Applied machine learning models included support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), K‐nearest neighbors (KNN), AdaBoost, categorical boosting (CatBoost), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), Naïve Bayes (NB) and logistic regression (LR). Ten‐fold cross‐validation was used to validate the models. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27; p‐value

Abstract

In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the field of brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), particularly in the area of emotion recognition using EEG signals. The majority of earlier research in this field has missed the spatial–temporal characteristics of EEG signals, which are critical for accurate emotion recognition. In this study, a novel approach is presented for classifying emotions into three categories, positive, negative, and neutral, using a custom-collected dataset. The dataset used in this study was specifically collected for this purpose from 16 participants, comprising EEG recordings corresponding to the three emotional states induced by musical stimuli. A multi-class Common Spatial Pattern (MCCSP) technique was employed for the processing stage of the EEG signals. These processed signals were then fed into an ensemble model comprising three autoencoders with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layers. A classification accuracy of 99.44 ± 0.39% for the three emotional classes was achieved by the proposed method. This performance surpasses previous studies, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach. The high accuracy indicates that the method could be a promising candidate for future BCI applications, providing a reliable means of emotion detection.

Abstract

[1]Introduction: Herbs and spices, which are essential part of the human diet, have been used in traditional medicine to increase the flavor, color, and aroma of various foods and food products. Herbs and spices are also known as preservative, antioxidative, and antimicrobial agents. Plant extracts and their components with pathogen-growth suppression effect and little toxicity to host cells could be considered as excellent candidates for developing new antimicrobial agents. Trigonella foenum- graceum is an annual herbaceous plant with bright yellow and sometimes purple-white flowers. Therapeutic effects of this plant include analgesia, anti-cancer, and treatment of diabetes by lowering blood sugar and lowering blood lipids. In ancient Egypt, this plant was used to embalm the dead and incense. The seeds of the plant are used to treat leprosy, hemorrhoids, and relieve bronchitis. The seeds of this plant contain various compounds such as vitamins, amino acids, saponins, fatty acids, and flavonoids. The antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of T. foenum have been detrmined byvarious studies. This study was therefore aimed to produce the T. foenum extract and evaluate its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Materials and methods: Fifty g of powdered plant was added to 250 mL of water and stirred for 72 h. The solution was passed through the Whatman filter paper and then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min to discard the suspended solids. Next, a vacuum evaporator was used to remove the excess water and the obtained extract was packed and kept away from light at 4 °C. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were measured by colorimetric methods. The antimicrobial effect of the extract on Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Candida albicans was evaluated using disc diffusion agar (DDA), well diffusion agar (WDA), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal /fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC) methods. Interaction of aqueous extract and Chloramphenicol and Amphotericin B was also evaluated. Antioxidant effect of the extract was determined by ABTS, DPPH, and β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching assay. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was also used to identify the functional groups. Results and discussion: Total phenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were 46.60 mg GAE/g and 37.57 mg QE/g, respectively. The aqueous extract also showed antioxidant effects of 60.55, 55.53 and 50.40%, based on DPPH, ABTS methods and β-carotene/linoleic acid assay, respectively. T. foenum aqueous extract had the inhibitory effect on all examined microorganisms, at all concentrations (20, 40, 60 and 80 mg/mL). The antibiotic effect of chloramphenicol for E. coli, E. aerogenes, S. aureus and B. cereus was 13.30, 14.50, 18 and 19.10 mm, respectively, and the effect of this antibiotic for C. albicans was not measured. Also, the antibiotic effect of amphotericin B for C. albicans was 15.10 mm. Furthermore, the interaction of T. foenum aqueous extract with the antibiotic chloramphenicol presented a synergistic effect on the examined bacteria and led to a significant increase in inhibition zone diameter. Additionally, the interaction of the extract with antibiotics showed a synergistic effect on C. albicans. In infrared spectrum, peaks at 3370, 2965, and 1613 cm-1 were related to stretching vibration of O-H, C-H, C=C bonds of aromatic ring and aromatic groups of T. foenum aqueous extract. In general, the extract of T. foenum could be used as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Integrons play an essential role in disseminating drug resistance genes among bacteria. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of integrons, and Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates collected from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) referred to teaching hospitals in Ardabil, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study (2017-2018), 163 isolates of E.coli were collected from patients with UTI. The drug susceptibility pattern of these isolates to 12 common antibiotics was investigated using the disk diffusion method based on CLSI guidelines. The prevalence of class 1, 2 ,3 integrons and ESBL genes was verified by the PCR method. Finally, the genetic variation of isolates was analyzed using the ERIC-PCR method. Results: Of 163 isolates, 138 (84.7%) isolates were multidrug-resistance (MDR) strains. The lowest and highest antibiotic resistance was reported to nitrofurantoin and ampicillin, with a resistance rate of 1.2% and 89.6%, respectively. The incidence of class 1 and 2 integrons was obtained in 39.9% and 14.1% of the isolates, respectively. Class 3 integron was not found in any of the isolates. Based on the ERIC-PCR fingerprinting method, 4 ERIC types were detected. Conclusion: Our study showed that E. coli isolates taken from patients mainly were MDR strain and resistant to many of the common antibiotics used to treat urinary tract infections. Using the correct dose of medication and multidrug therapy would be effective in reducing the incidence of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract

Background: Post-transcriptional microRNAs (miRNAs) have a impotrant pattern in the spermatogenesis process. Objective: Study of the expression and methylation of hsa-miR-449 family in sperm samples of infertile men. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, we recruited 74 infertile men (with asthenozoospermia, teratozoospermia, asthenoteratozoospermia, and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia) and 30 control samles. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) method was used for methylation evaluation of hsa-miR-449 a, b, c promoter. By Real time PCR (qRT-PCR) method,we showed downregulation of hsa-miR-449 a, b, c in the sperm samples of infertile men and compared it to their fertile counterparts. Results: There was significant underexperssion, in hsa-miR-449-b in oligoasthenoteratospermic samples (p = 0.0001, F = 2.9). About the methylation pattern, infertile men showed high frequency of methylation in the promoter of hsa-miR-449 a, b, c in comparison to controls (60.8% vs 23.3%), the highest amount of methylation was observed in oligoasthenoteratospermia samples (81.2%). Conclusion: In this study, low expression and high methylation of hsa-miR-449-b were observed in infertile men in compared to control samples, which can be one of the causes of defective spermatogenesis.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Pathogenic mutations in TRAPPC9 are associated with autosomal recessive Intellectual Disability (ID), a major public health issue that affects about 1–3% of children worldwide. Method Clinical evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging, peripheral blood karyotype, Multiplex ligation‐dependent probe amplification (MLPA), array CGH, and whole‐exome sequencing were used to characterize etiology in three patients from two unrelated consanguineous families of Iranian descent with intellectual disability. Results Whole‐exome sequencing showed two novel homozygous nonsense mutations (c.937C>T) in exon 3 and (c.3103C>T) in exon 19 of TRAPPC9 (NM_031466.7) in two unrelated consanguineous families. Conclusion The two novel variants found in TRAPPC9 caused truncated protein and clinical manifestations such as ID, developmental delay, microcephaly, and brain abnormalities in three patients.

Abstract

Background and Objective: There is a growing concern regarding the lack of new antibiotics, especially for multidrug-resistant bacteria that produce Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBLs). The present study aims to assess the prevalence of bacteria producing ESBLs, their antimicrobial resistance pattern, and its main determinants among hospitalized patients.Methods: The study population included 383 consecutive patients with a definitive diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI). All eligible subjects for the study had a positive culture for gram-negative microorganisms in urine specimens. ESBL producing isolates were characterized phenotypically for ESBL production using the double disc synergy test.Results: In total, 383 specimens were assessed, among which 212 (55.4%) were related to bacteria producing ESBLs (ESBL+). Of those with ESBL + infections, 65.5% were sourced from catheters (as hospital-associated UTIs), and 35.5% were categorized as community-associated UTIs. In the group consisting of bacteria producing ESBLs, the highest sensitivity was observed with Imipenem (72.2%), while the highest resistance was revealed with ceftriaxone (100%). Conclusion: We have shown that our community faces a high prevalence of bacteria producing ESBLs, mostly sourced from the catheterization of hospitalized patients. The highest bacterial sensitivity was observed with Imipenem, nitrofurantoin, and amikacin, while the highest resistance was found with ceftriaxone and cotrimoxazole, suggesting the ineffectiveness of using the two latter antibiotics for eradicating these bacterial infections. On the other hand, a history of urinary catheterization and previous hospitalization were two main determinants of their presence, a finding which emphasizes the importance of avoiding catheterization and hospitalization of patients with UTIs without proper indications.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an etiological agent of hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis B is a life-threatening disease that affects the liver. The clinical outcomes of the disease are varied from asymptomatic disease to serious complication such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite availability of the vaccine and appropriate treatment, hepatitis B infection still remains a major public health problem worldwide. Based on WHO reports, over 887.000 people die annually from hepatitis B complication including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis B is very contagious and spreads through infected blood, body fluids, mother to baby during birth, contaminated needle and between sexual partners. HBV uses sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) receptor to enter hepatocytes and by replicating in these cells interferes with liver functions. In fact liver damage is as result of virus multiplication and activation of immune responses especially virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) against infected cells. CTLs and CD4Th1 cells by killing infected cells and releasing antiviral cytokines control virus replication in infected individuals. Also, the functions of these cells in patients who successfully clear the infection are potentially strong. In contrast to acute self-limited HBV infection in persistent HBV infection, these cells are exhausted. Several studies have showed that the great challenge in clearance of the HBV infection is related to stability of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). cccDNA produce in viral life cycle and remains inside the infected cells for a long time and act as a template for generating new pre-genomic RNA and virus propagation. So far, no antiviral treatment has been effective in the complete elimination of this structure. Prevention of the disease can be achieved by using effective vaccine. Previous studies indicated that neutralizing antibodies against surface antigen of the virus known as S antigen have protective properties. Therefore, a subunit vaccine containing S antigen is available. Currently S antigen is produced in recombinant form and WHO recommended the first dose should be given within a day of birth. Pegylated IFN-γ and nucleotide-nucleoside analogues are effective drugs against HBV infection, but they may have severe side effects. Ineffectiveness of the vaccine on premature infants and immunocompromised people and also drug side effects has made HBV infection a great trouble.

Abstract

Application of nanoparticles (NPs) guides the design of the particle for enhancing specific properties of interest for that particular application. Two-dimensional transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides [also known as MXene nanosheets (NSs)] have attracted interest as an approach for improving the properties of functional materials of NPs. The modification of surface chemistry has frequently been employed to amplify favorable physical and chemical characteristics of MXenes. A straightforward, economical, and remarkably effective technique in this aspect is the implementation of metal sulfide (MS) nanostructures that adhere to MXene NSs through van der Waals interactions. The inherent self-assembly properties of these structures enable simple regulation of the packaging density of the particles. For environmental remediation, properties such as narrow band gap and increased electron and hole transfer make MS/MXene nanocomposites suitable for the degradation and removal of pollutants. For energy applications, the MXene NSs serve as conductive substrates, facilitating fast electron and ion transport, to prevent the aggregation of MS nanostructures. Transition-metal sulfides act as spacers in these designs. In the field of medicine, MS/MXene nanocomposites can be utilized for targeted therapy, for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and as antibacterial agents due to their high absorption in the near-infrared region. The present review summarizes the integration of MS/MXene nanocomposites, with a brief discussion of the synthesis and traits of MXenes, along with the progress of various MXene composites, applications of the various NSs, and some of the challenges and future prospects associated with the development of MS/MXene nanocomposites, while highlighting their potential for diverse applications.

34. Role of PPAR gamma in Acute Renal Failure

Abstract

Objective: Acute Renal failure (ARF) is a common sequel to chronic diseases such as hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus. Understanding the mechanism involved in damaging the glomerular membrane at the molecular level is of significant importance since this will allow us to prevent molecular changes before they attain a level of irreversibility.Oxidative stress and nitric oxide (NO) play a significant role in the maintenance of renal tubular and glomerular function in health and illness. Enzymes responsible for either ROS generation or NO production are controlled by transcription factors such as peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). Here, we hypothesized that oxidative stress during chronic disease process reduced PPARγ gene expression and therefore, NAD(P)H oxidase NO production. Design and method: We used a glycerol model of ARF in male Sprague-Dawly rats, divided in control and treated groups. ARF was induced using the standard method involving administration of 50% glycerol (v/v, 8 mL/kg, i.m). After 21 days of study period, the required amount of glycerol was administered as a deep intramuscular injection equally distributed to both hind legs. Rats were deprived of food and water for 24 hours after glycerol administration. After injecting glycerol, rats were placed in metabolic cages, and 24 hr urine was collected. Blood was collected via cardiac puncture under pentobarbital anesthesia (Na pentobarbital 50 mg/kg; i.p). Kidneys were processed for isolation of renal microvessels and subsequent biochemical and molecular biology analysis. Results: Our results indicated reduced PPARγ mRNA and protein expression and activity in ARF. Addition of PPARg inducer, Ciglitazone, increased PPARγ mRNA and protein expression and activity in ARF. Ciglitazone improved renal vascular reactivity that was exaggerated in ARF. We observed ~100% increase in 8-isoprostane level in the plasma of ARF rats compared control. Ciglitazone abolished the increase in free-radical generation significantly. Conclusion: Based on our data we are concluding that reduced PPARg has a definitive role in the kidney function.

Abstract

Introduction. The main aetiological agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) is Escherichia coli , categorized as uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). The genome of UPEC shows a high degree of plasticity, which leads to the emergence of ‘intermediary strains’ with different traits from the parental pathotypes. Gap Statement/Aim. We aimed to assess the frequency and types of the hybrid UPEC among isolates causing UTI and characterize virulence properties of these hybrid isolates molecularly and phenotypically. Methodology. After detection of intestinal pathogenic E. coli (IPEC) virulence markers among 200 UPEC isolates, they were assessed for the presence of 40 virulence genes (VGs) of extraintestinal, uropathogenic and diarrhoeagenic E. coli , phylogenetic group typing, phenotypic traits including biofilm formation, adherence and invasion to HeLa cells, haemolysis activity and antimicrobial resistance. Results. The analysis showed 21 (10.5 %) UPEC isolates carried enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) virulence markers. Twenty isolates carried the aggR (EAEC) and one the eae and escV genes (EPEC), which were classified as hybrid strains. The most commonly identified genes were fimH (71.5 %), fyuA (66.7 %), iutA (62 %), chuA (57.1) and traT (47.6 %). Biofilm production, adhesion and invasion were found among 17 (81), 18 (85.7) and 11 (52.4 %) hybrids, respectively. Investigation of the genetic characteristics, phylogenetic group and virulence profile of the detected hybrids revealed that they have genetic diversity and do not belong to a particular clonal lineage. Conclusion. The present study reveals that some UPEC may carry virulence markers of IPEC pathotypes. EAEC and EPEC seem to have a greater tendency to form hybrids and cause UTI. Further studies are needed to elucidate what factors contributed to survival in the urinary tract system and facilitate infection and whether these combinations lead to an increase in pathogenicity or not.

Abstract

Recently, magnesium molybdate materials have attracted scientific attention for application in supercapacitor devices due to advantages like low synthesis cost and good redox reactions. Nevertheless, these materials endure low electrical conductivity leading to inferior electrochemical performance. To eliminate this drawback, we prepare a composite powder containing magnesium molybdate and functionalized carbon nanotubes (MMO/C) using a simple process to improve the supercapacitive properties. The results proved an electrostatic interaction between the two components of the composite powder, which contains 18-30 nm magnesium molybdate nanoparticles. A crystal model related to magnesium molybdate powder (MMO) was simulated, illustrating that MnO

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent disease caused by the inflammatory demyelinating process that causes progressive nervous system degeneration over the time. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging technology, which can measure the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer as well as the diameter of the macula. The purpose of the study is evaluation OCT findings in two common types of multiple sclerosis. For doing the cross-sectional study, 63 patients with two prevalent types of multiple sclerosis (35 patients with Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) and 28 patients with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) were evaluated for 6 months. Exclusion criteria of the study were a history of optic neuritis, suffering from diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ocular disease, and the presence of other neurologic degenerative diseases. Then, the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), as well as thickness and volume of the macula, were measured in the patients using OCT technology. The disability rate of patients was evaluated according to Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Finally, data was analyzed by means of SPSS software. Overall, 35 patients with RRMS (with mean age of 32.37+10.01, average disease period of 3.81+3.42 and mean EDSS of 1.84+0.45) and 28 patients with SPMS (with mean age of 39.21+9.33, average disease period of 11.32+5.87 and mean EDSS of 5.12+1.46) were assessed and compared in terms of retinal nerve fiber layer and size and thickness of macula. In all of these sections, the thicknesses were smaller in SPMS patients than patients with RRMS. But, there was a significant difference in total thickness (81.82µm versus 96.03µm with P=0.04) and thickness of temporal sector (54.5 µm versus 69.34 µm with P=0.04) of retinal nerve fiber layer and macular size at the superior sector of external ring (1.48 mm³ versus 1.58 mm³ with P=0.03), and nasal sector of external ring surrounding macula (1.53 mm³ versus 1.66 mm³ with P=0.03). No significant correlation was found among rising disability and reduced thickness of macula and optic nervous layer. Based on the study results, it can be said that OCT is a useful method for showing axonal degeneration severity and evaluation of various drugs effects on the course of MS disease, and thus we can change drugs based on OCT findings for achieving best results.
