Baeradeh N, Ghoddusi Johari M, Moftakhar L, Rezaeianzadeh R, Hosseini SV, Rezaianzadeh A. The prevalence and predictors of cardiovascular diseases in Kherameh cohort study: a population-based study on 10,663 people in southern Iran. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:244. [PMID: 35643460 PMCID: PMC9148515 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02683-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is rapidly increasing in the world. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence and Predictors factors of CVD based on the data of Kherameh cohort study. METHODS The present cross-sectional, analytical study was done based on the data of Kherameh cohort study, as a branch of the Prospective Epidemiological Studies in Iran (PERSIAN). The participants consisted of 10,663 people aged 40-70 years. CVD was defined as suffering from ischemic heart diseases including heart failure, angina, and myocardial infarction. Logistic regression was used to model and predict the factors related to CVD. Additionally, the age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) of CVD was determined using the standard Asian population. RESULTS The ASPR of CVD was 10.39% in males (95% CI 10.2-10.6%) and 10.21% in females (95% CI 9.9-10.4%). The prevalence of CVD was higher among the individuals with high blood pressure (58.3%, p < 0.001) as well as among those who smoked (28.3%, p = 0.018), used opium (18.2%, p = 0.039), had high triglyceride levels (31.6%, p = 0.011), were overweight and obese (66.2%, p < 0.001), were unmarried (83.9%, p < 0.001), were illiterate (64.2%, p < 0.001), were unemployed (60.9%, p < 0.001), and suffered from diabetes mellitus (28.1%, p < 0.001). The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of having CVD was 2.25 times higher among the individuals aged 50-60 years compared to those aged 40-50 years, 1.66 folds higher in opium users than in non-opium users, 1.37 times higher in smokers compared to non-smokers, 2.03 folds higher in regular users of sleeping pills than in non-consumers, and 4.02 times higher in hypertensive individuals than in normotensive ones. CONCLUSION The prevalence of CVD was found to be relatively higher in Kherameh (southern Iran) compared to other places. Moreover, old age, obesity, taking sleeping pills, hypertension, drug use, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had the highest odds ratios of CVD.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aimed to compare two newly introduced procedures, single anastomosis sleeve jejunal (SASJ) with ileal (SASI) bypass in terms of weight loss, remission of obesity-associated medical problems, complications, and nutritional status. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was carried out with 162 patients who underwent single anastomosis sleeve gastrointestinal bypass from October 2017 to September 2021, either single anastomosis sleeve jejunal bypass (SASJ) or single anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI). The main outcome measures were weight loss and improvement in obesity-associated medical problems, nutritional status, and complications at 12 months post-surgery. RESULTS At 12 months, both groups showed significant weight loss and remission in obesity-associated medical problems. There were significant differences in body mass index (BMI), total weight loss (TWL), and excess weight loss (EWL) between SASI and SASJ bypass (P < 0.05). Improvements in associated medical problems after the two procedures were similar except for hypertension. The reversal surgery rate of the SASI group was significantly higher than that of the SASJ group (5.5% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS SASJ and SASI bypass achieved satisfactory weight loss and improvement in obesity-associated medical problems that were comparable between the two groups. SASI bypass was followed by a significant difference in the rate of reversal surgery at 1 year due to a short common channel, which was not observed after SASJ bypass.

Abstract
Background and objectives Low back pain (LBP) is a common health condition in populations. Limited large-scale population-based studies evaluated the prevalence and predictors of LBP in developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with LBP among the Iranian population. Methods We used baseline information from the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran (PERSIAN), including individuals from 16 provinces of Iran. LBP was defined as the history of back pain interfering with daily activities for more than one week during an individual's lifetime. Various factors hypothesized to affect LBP, such as age, sex, marital status, educational status, ethnicity, living area, employment status, history of smoking, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, sleep duration, wealth score, history of joint pain, and history of morning stiffness in the joints were evaluated. Results In total, 163770 Iranians with a mean age of 49.37 (SD = 9.15) were included in this study, 44.8% of whom were male. The prevalence of LBP was 25.2% among participants. After adjusting for confounders, the female gender [OR:1.244(1.02–1.50)], middle and older ages [OR:1.23(1.10–1.33) and OR:1.13(1.07–1.42), respectively], being overweight or obese [OR:1.13(1.07–1.19) and OR:1.21(1.16–1.27), respectively], former and current smokers (OR:1.25(1.16–1.36) and OR:1.28(1.17–1.39), respectively], low physical activity [OR:1.07(1.01–1.14)], and short sleep duration [OR: 1.09(1.02–1.17)] were significantly associated with LBP. Conclusion In this large-scale study, we found the lifetime prevalence of LBP to be lower among the Iranian population in comparison to the global prevalence of LBP; further studies are warranted to evaluate the causality of risk factors on LBP. The lifetime prevalence of low back pain in the Iranian population is 25.2%. Our survey includes 163770 people from 16 Iranian provinces. We used PERSIAN Cohort data which is the largest study conducted in Iran population. For analysis, we used both unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models.

Bariatric Surgery and COVID-19: What We Have Learned from the Pandemic in Iran: a Retrospective Observational Cohort Study. Obes Surg 2022; 32:18-25. [PMID: 34716898 PMCID: PMC8556836 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05761-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about the symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on patients with morbid obesity following bariatric surgery (BS) in Iran. Thus, we sought to investigate the symptoms and effect of COVID-19 in patients with morbid obesity following, or candidates for, BS in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective observational cohort study, we enrolled 236 morbid obese patients following (surgical group) or candidates (nonsurgical group) for bariatric surgery. Demographics, probable COVID-19 incidence, acute and persistent COVID-19 symptoms, and clinical outcome parameters of bariatric patients and candidates for BS were compared. The incidence of probable COVID-19 was assessed including the clinical definition of probable case, according to World Health Organization criteria. RESULTS The incidence of probable COVID-19 among surgical and nonsurgical groups was significantly different (20.6% vs 26.08%, respectively, p = 0.046). The probable case of surgical patients had a shorter length of symptoms and hospitalization duration, and a lower proportion of admission in ICUs and hospitals with respect to nonsurgical patients (p < 0.001). Surgical patients had a greater prevalence of persistent symptoms including anorexia, food intolerance, and anosmia-hyposmia than nonsurgical patients. Moreover, surgical patients with probable COVID-19 had a significantly higher proportion of diabetic patients than surgical patients without probable COVID-19 (20% vs 9.3%). CONCLUSION These findings highlight the need to evaluate the persistent symptoms of COVID-19 and the importance of nutritional support for at least several weeks after COVID-19 symptom onset. Moreover, it seems that COVID-19 incidence in post-bariatric surgery patients could reduce the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in the resolution of diabetes.

Abstract
Aim This study investigated the association between methylation status and expression levels of BTG2, PPP1CA, and PEG3 genes in colon cancer. Background Aberrant DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications in the development of cancer. Evidence indicates that hypermethylation of various tumor suppressor genes could be a potential mechanism of colon tumorigenesis. Methods The expression levels of BTG2, PPP1CA, and PEG3 genes were evaluated in HT-29/219, HCT116, SW48, SW742, SW480, and LS180 cell lines using quantitative Real-Time PCR. The methylation status of BTG2 and PPP1CA was determined by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) method, and the methylation pattern of PEG3 was evaluated by bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP). To investigate the effect of methylation on the expression of these genes, all colon cancer cell lines were treated by 5-Azacitidine (5-Aza) and/or Trichostatin A (TSA). Results The expression levels of BTG2, PPP1CA, and PEG3 were highly heterogeneous and quantitatively correlated to their promoter methylation status in the studied colon cancer cell lines. Treatment by 5-Aza and/or TSA increased the expression of the above-named genes in colon cancer cell lines. Conclusion Overall, it seems that BTG2, PPP1CA, and PEG3 act as tumor suppressor genes in colon cancer, and methylation is a potential mechanism for their loss of expression. Therefore, these genes may be considered as suitable targets for demethylation approaches and, eventually, colon cancer treatment. Combined treatment by 5-Aza and TSA may be a promising therapeutic strategy for colon cancer treatment. Further studies may contribute to confirm these results.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Oral health is one of the most important public health problems. The DMF index is used to assess oral health status. PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate oral health status based on DMF index in adults in Fars province. MATERIALS AND METHOD This cross-sectional study was performed on 8911 people aged 40 to 70 years under the Kharameh cohort study in 2020. Demographic and oral health factors were collected during interviews and clinical evaluation. T test, ANOVA, and linear regression tests were used for data analysis. RESULTS The mean and standard deviation of DMF index was 18.06±8.7in all individuals under study. Multiple linear regression results showed that diabetes (OR=1.1 95%CI: 0.9-1.9 p= 0.0001), smoking (OR=4.4 95%CI: 4-4.9 p= 0.0001) and underweight (OR=2.1 95%CI: 1.1-3.1 p= 0.0001) are the factors affecting the increase in DMF index. Other factors such as high level of education, economic and social class, flossing, and living in a village have been inversely related to the DMF index. CONCLUSION The results of this study are a warning about the importance of reducing dental costs to increase the level of access of people with low economic and social levels and increase health literacy in relation to oral health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colectomy is considered as a part of therapeutic armamentarium in ulcerative colitis. The availability of new biologic treatments might have affected the trend of using this modality. METHODS The hospital records of all tertiary centers in Shiraz, which are the main centers for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) in southern Iran, were reviewed to estimate the total number of admissions for the treatment of severe UC and colectomy among patients from 2009 to 2019. In this historical cohort study, information about the current status of the patients was collected by phone calls during December 2019. RESULTS Totally, 111 (4%) UC patients, out of 2933 admissions, underwent colectomy. Sixty-five (54.6%) UC colectomy patients were female. The results revealed an upward trend for the ratio of the frequency of colectomies to total UC admissions (Z = 3.39, P < 0.001). Colectomy complications occurred in 44 patients (40%), and most of the patients 38 (34%) had late complications, leading to readmission. Seven patients (6.3%) had died from colectomy during the follow-up calls. Most of the dead patients underwent urgent surgery and were young. CONCLUSION Despite the use of biologics during the past decade in southern Iran, there was a rising trend among the UC patients' colectomies. The frequencies of post-operative complications and mortality was considerable, highlighting the need for refinement of UC care in this region.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the time-course effect of different type of bariatric surgeries (BS) up to 1 year post-surgery on fat mass (FM) and body fat percentage (BFP) in patients with morbid obesity. We searched PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, ISI web of science, and Cochrane databases from October 2002 until May 2020 with no restriction in the English language, to find studies examining the effect of BS on FM (kg) and BFP (%) in morbid obese patients. Meta-analysis of 103 studies carried out on data of 18,166 and 14,575 morbid obese patients following BS, showed that BS was associated with a substantial decrease in FM and BFP, respectively, in 1 month (- 8.17 kg [95% CI - 9.07, - 7.27] and - 1.51% [95% CI - 2.56, - 0.46]), 3 months (- 15.75 [95% CI - 17.49, - 14.0] and - 4.90 [95% CI - 5.97, - 3.83]), 6 months (- 22.51 [95% CI - 23.93, - 21.09] and - 8.56% [95% CI - 9.63, - 7.49]), and 12 months (- 29.69 [95% CI - 31.3, - 28.09] and - 13.49% [95% CI - 14.52, - 12.40]) after the surgery. In conclusion, BS was associated with sustained declines in FM and BFP, from 1 to 12 months, with no indication of plateau phase post-surgery post-operatively. The present study emphasizes that post-bariatric care should have more focus on FM loss during 1-year post-surgery to identify the patients at risk for fat loss plateau.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to correlate the connection between self-management behaviors and anthropometric indices after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS A sample of 180 patients suffering from obesity were treated with RYGB in 2019; 6 and 18 months after surgery, anthropometric indices, including weight, waist circumference, waist- to-height ratio, body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio, were gauged, and participants completed the post-bariatric surgery self-management behaviors questionnaire. RESULTS Correlation matrix results showed that all anthropometric indices had a significant positive relationship with self-management behaviors after RYGB; the results of the 18-month post-surgical follow-up exhibited no significant difference between anthropometric indices and self-management behaviors, 6 and 18 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Therefore, the more self-management behaviors increase, the greater decrease in anthropometric indices will happen after RYGB.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim Anal stenosis is an uncommon complication of anorectal surgery, mostly resulting from circumferential hemorrhoidectomy or resection of the skin tag in surgical management of chronic anal fissure. The aim of anoplasty is to restore normal function to the anus by dividing the stricture and widening the anal canal. Internal sphincterotomy may cause gas incontinence and if we manage the stenosis without sphincterotomy it could be failed. Could we use anoplasty without sphincterotomy?
Method The patients with anal stenosis were assigned in to two groups. The first group underwent Y-V anoplasty without partial lateral internal sphinctrotomy and the second one underwent Y-V anoplasty with partial lateral internal sphinctrotomy.
Result A total of 25 patients (10 male and 15 female) underwent anoplasty, 14 without partial lateral internal sphincterotomy and 11 patients with partial lateral internal sphincterotomy. The healing rate of stenosis was 91% and 93% in groups undergoing anoplasty without partial lateral internal sphinctrotomy and anoplasty with partial lateral internal sphictrotomy, respectively (p value 0.69). There was no significant change in both groups for post-operative incontinence complaints.
Conclusion The healing rate of anal stenosis was the same in the patients who underwent Y-V anoplasty with or without partial lateral internal sphinctrotomy. There was no significant change in post-operation incontinence between the two groups. Therefore, Y-V anoplasty would be a safe and simple surgical method in selected patients. Partial lateral internal sphinctrotomy procedure has been noticed in individual cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectal cancer accounts for one-third of all colorectal cancer (CRC) cases. Due to physiological and anatomical differences, some researchers consider rectal cancer as a separate organ malignancy during the recent decades. However, limited studies have been conducted in this regard in Iran. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine survival of rectal cancer and its, affecting factors in Fars province, southern Iran. METHODS In this cohort study, we used the data of 387 patients with rectal cancer gathered by the Colorectal Research Center of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between 2007 and 2015. The impact of 35 explanatory factors including demographic information, medical history, pathologic data, and imaging findings was evaluated using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Out of all patients, 111 ones (29%) died. The median follow-up period was 36 months. The patients' mean age at diagnosis was 56.72 ± 13.89 years. Their 5-year survival was 65% (95% CI: 58-69%). The results of multiple Cox regression analysis showed that sex (male/female; HR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.15-2.67), vascular invasion (yes/no; HR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.45-3.99), and lymph node ratio (> 0.2 vs ≤ 0.2; HR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.41-3.40) were significantly correlated to survival. CONCLUSION Various geographical parts of Iran show different rates regarding rectal cancer survival. A better 5-year survival rate was detected by this study for the patients with rectal cancer in Fars province, southern Iran, compared to many parts of the country. Moreover, gender, vascular invasion, and nodal status played an important role in survival of rectal cancer.

Abstract
Background: Understanding the prognostic factors affecting the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with rectal cancer (RC) is the mainstay of care. The present
study aimed to identify factors affecting both short- and long-term RFS of patients with RC using semiparametric mixture cure models. Methods: The data were obtained from the database of the Colorectal Research Center of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran, which was collected during
2007-2017. To determine the factors affecting recurrence, cure models were applied to short-term and long-term RFS of patients with RC separately. The cure rate
was calculated using the smcure package in R 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) software. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of the 376 eligible patients with RC, 75.8% of men and 74.5% of women were long-term survivors. The mean age of the patients was 57.0±13.8 years.
Lymph node ratio (LNR)≤0.2 increased the probability of short-term RFS. The prominent factors affecting long-term RFS were body mass index (BMI)<25 kg/m2
(OR=1.98, P=0.047), tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (OR=6.48, P<0.001), abdominal pain (OR=2.15, P=0.007), and computed tomography (CT) scan detected
pelvic lymph nodes (OR=3.40, P=0.01). Over a 9-year follow-up period, the empirical and estimated values of cure rates were 75.3% and 83.9%, respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that factors affecting short-term RFS might be different from long-term RFS. A lower BMI was related to a poorer prognosis
in patients with RC. Early diagnosis leads to a lower TNM stage and could increase the probability of long-term RFS.

Abstract
Number of hybrid vehicles has increased around the world significantly. Automotive industry is utilizing the hybridization of the powertrain system to achieve better fuel economic and emissions reduction. One of the options recently considered in research for hybridization and downsizing of vehicles is to employ waste heat recovery systems. In this paper, the addition of a turbo-compound system with an air Brayton cycle (ABC) to a naturally aspirated engine was studied in AVL BOOST software. In addition, a supercharger was modeled to charge extra air into the engine and ABC. The engine was first validated against the experimental data prior to turbo-compounding. The energy and exergy analysis was performed to understand the effects of the proposed design at engine rated speed. Results showed that between 16 and 18% increase in engine mechanical power can be achieved by adding turbo-compressor. Furthermore, the recommended ABC system can recover up to 1.1 kW extra electrical power from the engine exhaust energy. The energy and exergy efficiencies were both improved slightly by turbo-compounding and BSFC reduced by nearly 1% with the proposed system. Furthermore, installing the proposed system resulted in increase in backpressure up to approximately 23.8 kPa.

Abstract
Background ARID1A has been described as a tumor suppressor gene, participating in chromatin re-modeling, epithelial-mesenchymal-transition and many other cellular and molecular processes. It has been cited as a contribute in tumorigenesis. The role of ARID1A in CRC is not yet defined. Aim To investigate the role of ARID1A methylation and CNV in its expression in CRC cell lines and to examine the relationship between ARID1A status with survival and clinicopathologic characteristics in patients with CRC. Methods We used RT-PCR to determine both CNV and expression of ARID1A from six CRC cell lines. We used MSP to evaluate methylation of ARID1A. IHC was used to assess ARID1A protein expression. We also evaluated MSI and EMAST status in 18 paired CRC and adjacent normal tissues. 5AzadC was used to assess effect of DNA demethylation on ARID1A expression. Statistical analysis was performed to establish correlations between ARID1A expression and other parameters. Results Among the 18 CRC tumors studied, 7 (38.8%) and 5 tumors (27.7%) showed no or low ARID1A expression, respectively. We observed no significant difference in ARID1A expression for overall patient survival, and no difference between clinicopathological parameters including MSI and EMAST. However, lymphatic invasion was more pronounced in the low/no ARID1A expression group when compared to moderate and high expression group (33% VS. 16.6% respectively. ARID1A promoter methylation was observed in 4/6 (66%) cell lines and correlated with ARID1A mRNA expression level ranging from very low in SW48, to more pronounced in HCT116 and HT-29/219. Treatment with the methyltransferase inhibitor 5-Azacytidine (5-aza) resulted in a 25.4-fold and 6.1-fold increase in ARID1A mRNA expression in SW48 and SW742 cells, respectively, while there was no change in SW480 and LS180 cells. No ARID1A CNV was observed in the CRC cell lines. Conclusion ARID1A expression is downregulated in CRC tissues which correlates with it being a tumor suppressor protein. This finding confirms ARID1A loss of expression in CRC development. Our in-vitro results suggest high methylation status associates with reduced ARID1A expression and contributes to CRC tumorigenesis. However, there was no significant association between ARID1A loss of expression and clinicopathological characteristics. Future in-vivo analysis is warranted to further establish ARID1A role in colorectal neoplastic transformation.

Abstract
Background There are several scolicidal agents for inactivation of hydatid cyst protoscolices during surgery, but most of them are associated with adverse side effects such as sclerosing cholangitis (SC) and liver necrosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the adverse effects of Eucalyptus essential oil to induce SC in animal models. Materials and Methods Eighteen rabbits weighting 2000-3500 g were included in three groups for this study. About 0.3 ml of Eucalyptus essential oil (1%), or 5% hypertonic saline, or normal saline was injected for 5 min in the gallbladder. After 4 months, the liver, common bile duct, and duodenum were resected and immediately sent for cholangiography and pathologic studies. Results According to pathological studies, inflammation is more common in Eucalyptus and hypertonic saline groups. Due to cholangiographic studies, stricture was slightly higher in the hypertonic saline group than the Eucalyptus group. Conclusion Thus, 1% Eucalyptus essential oil is at least as safe as 5% hypertonic saline, but for clinical uses, it must be confirmed with further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbid obesity is rising around the world. Surgery is a selective treatment intervention for it. Since most of the surgeons use weight loss for evaluating of the morbid obesity surgical outcomes and paying attention to the the quality of life (QOL) and body image evaluation are rare, this study aimed to assess the QOL and body image in pre- and postsurgery with other interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case-control study was done on 200 morbidly obese patients (n = 100 in each group) who referred to the obesity clinic in Shiraz. The data were collected by Body Image Concern Inventory and 12-item Short Form Survey. The data were analyzed by t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient test, analysis of variance, and regression analysis. P = 0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS The paired t-test showed a significant difference in mean scores of body image (P < 0.001) and all dimensions of the QOL (P < 0.001) in the case and control groups. In the case group, there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the QOL and the different categories of body mass index (BMI) in postsurgery (P < 0.05) and the different mean scores of body image and the different categories of BMI in pre- and postsurgery wasn't significant (P > 0.05). Age was a predictor variable for the QOL of morbidly obese persons after surgery (P < 0.001). After surgery, men showed better QOL than women (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Final results indicated that body image and QOL defects caused by obesity could be more improvement after surgery. This study can promote health-care team's knowledge about holistic supporting of all dimensions' QOL of obese individuals. It is suggested that supporting interventions should be done as effective methods of maintenance for effects of weight loss methods such as surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is a major public health concern worldwide. Genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors contribute to the multifactorial etiology of obesity. Evidence suggests an association between human Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Val66Met single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and obesity. Reduced plasma BDNF levels have also been reported in patients with eating disorders and obesity. We aimed to evaluate the BDNF Val66Met (rs6265) SNP and also plasma BDNF levels in morbidly obese patients compared with healthy normal controls in southern Iran. One hundred morbidly obese patients and one hundred eight healthy normal controls were enrolled. Blood-derived DNA samples were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method and confirmed by DNA sequencing. Plasma BDNF levels were evaluated using a commercially available sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for human BDNF. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software, version 18.0. Genotype distribution was not significantly different between obese patients and controls. However, plasma BDNF levels were significantly lower in obese patients compared with controls. Interestingly, a significant association was found between BDNF Val66Met SNP and plasma BDNF levels. No relationship was observed between BDNF Val66Met SNP and all assessed demographic and clinical characteristics of obese patients. It seems that plasma BDNF levels were associated with both obesity and BDNF Val66Met SNP. However, this association was not found between BDNF Val66Met SNP and obesity. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed for more detailed assessment of this genetic variation as a potential biomarker for obesity.

Abstract
Introduction: Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world. The risk of suffering from colorectal cancer in the first degree relatives is two to eight times higher than the ordinary people of the society. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge of the first degree relatives of the clients regarding the risk factors and signs of colorectal cancer and colonoscopy screening tests.
Methodology: The present study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. In this study, 116 of the first degree relatives of patients were selected through simple random sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire was utilized to collect information about warning signs and risk factors. The reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α= 0.70) was calculated and then face and content validity were assessed by the professors. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 23 and using descriptive statistics (mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (T-test and ANOVA).
Results: The level of samples' knowledge about the risk signs of colorectal cancer was higher than the mean level (36.15 ± 8.46). The highest level of awareness about their (positive / negative) effects on colorectal cancer was related to consumption of vegetables, fruits (2.82 ± 0.65), and Aspirin consumption (1.34 ± 0.62). There wasn't a statistically significant difference between age, gender and education with the level of awareness of first degree of relatives but there was significant difference between the occupation of people and the level of awareness (P=0/005). The level of awareness of first degree of relatives about colonoscopy test was above the average level. (24.65 ± 4.57). The most knowledge about the nature of colonoscopy (2.78 ± 0.52) and the least awareness about the vitality of the operation were reported of the people above 50 (1.76 ± 0.74). There wasn't a statistically significant difference between the level of awareness of performing the colonoscopy and demographic characteristics of gender, age, education, and occupation.
Conclusion: It is necessary to use new methods and strategies to maintain the available status and to raise the awareness of all people in the community regarding the signs and symptoms, especially the use of colorectal cancer screening to manage the initial programs of prevention and treatment.
