Abstract
Background: The antioxidant activity of Bane (Pistacia atlantica) has been proved in different researches. This study evaluated the potential of Bane (Pistacia atlantica) essential oil (as a natural antioxidant) on the oxidative stability of sunflower oil.
Methods: The essence of Bane was added to sunflower oil at concentrations of 200, 400,600,800, and 1,000 ppm. Tertiary Butyl Hydroquinone (TBHQ) was applied as synthetic antioxidant. All samples with the control were stored at 65 ̊C for 20 days. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry was used for the essence analysis. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay, rancimat, p-anisidine value (P-AnVs), and peroxide value (PV) were determined to assess the efficacy of differecnt concentration of essence (200, 400,600,800, and 1,000 ppm). Data were analyzed by Statistical Analysis System (SAS) version 9 Software.
Results: The essential oil yield was 0.1% v/w. The basic components of essence were monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. Synthetic antioxidant had the highest scavenging activity, followed by the mixture sample. PVs were in the range of 19.56-20.73 milliequivalents (meq)/kg for the treated samples after 20 days, while it was 38.74 on the 20th day for the control. For all treatments, PV was increased with increasing storage time. P-AnVs were 8.58-17.14 for stabilized samples and 18.02 for control sample on the 20th day of storage. In all stages, control sample had the highest P-AnV. For all samples, P-AnV increased as a subject of storage time.
Conclusion: P. atlantica (Bane) essential oil had a stabilizing effect on sunflower oil and can be used as a natural antioxidant to stabilize edible oil during storage.

Abstract
Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) could abrogate cancer recurrences, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. To clarify the effects of IORT-induced wound fluid on tumor progression, we treated breast cancer cell lines and human-derived tumor spheroids in 2D and microfluidic cell culture systems, respectively. The viability, migration, and invasion of the cells under treatment of IORT-induced wound fluid (WF-RT) and the cells under surgery-induced wound fluid (WF) were compared. Our findings showed that cell viability was increased in spheroids under both WF treatments, whereas viability of the cell lines depended on the type of cells and incubation times. Both WFs significantly increased sub-G1 and arrested the cells in G0/G1 phases associated with increased P16 and P21 expression levels. The expression level of Caspase 3 in both cell culture systems and for both WF-treated groups was significantly increased. Furthermore, our results revealed that although the migration was increased in both systems of WF-treated cells compared to cell culture media-treated cells, E-cadherin expression was significantly increased only in the WF-RT group. In conclusion, WF-RT could not effectively inhibit tumor progression in an ex vivo tumor-on-chip model. Moreover, our data suggest that a microfluidic system could be a suitable 3D system to mimic in vivo tumor conditions than 2D cell culture.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are crucial cells that play an essential role in the maintenance, self-renewal, and proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in the bone marrow niche. It has been proven that MSCs can be used as a feeder layer for the proliferation of HSCs to enhance the number of HPCs and HSCs. Recently, it has been demonstrated that MSC-derived exosome (MSC-DE) has critical roles in different biological processes in bone marrow (BM). In the current research, we examined the importance of hypoxia-preconditioned MSC-derived exosomes (HP-MSC-DE) and normoxia-preconditioned MSC-derived exosomes (NP-MSC-DE) in the self-renewal and long-term clonogenic potential of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (UCB-HSCs). We showed that the secretion rate and component of the exosome (EXO) were changed in HP-MSC-DE compared to NP-MSC-DE. Notably, the Jagged-1 (Notch ligand) content of EXO was much more plentiful in HP-MSC-DE compared to NP-MSC-DE. The addition of HP-MSC-DE enriched by Jagged-1 to the co-culture system stimulates the Notch pathway on the membrane of UCB-HSCs CD133+ and enhances proliferation. HP-MSC-DE induction using an anti-Jagged-1 antibody suppresses all biological functions of the Jagged-1 protein. Importantly, HP-MSC-DE containing Jagged-1 could change the biology of HSCs CD133+ and increase the self-renewal capacity, quiescence, and clonogenic potential of CD133+ cells. Moreover, they support generating a large number of primitive cells. Our study signified the importance of HP-MSC-DE in the proliferation of UCB-HSCs CD133+, which manifested therapeutic applications of EXO in the enhanced number of HSCs and subsequently alleviated bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and 3C-like protease (3CLpro) from SARS-CoV-2 play crucial roles in the viral life cycle and are considered the most promising targets for drug discovery against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, FDA-approved drugs were screened to identify the probable anti-RdRp and 3CLpro inhibitors by molecular docking approach. The number of ligands selected from the PubChem database of NCBI for screening was 1760. Ligands were energy minimized using Open Babel. The RdRp and 3CLpro protein sequences were retrieved from the NCBI database. For Homology Modeling predictions, we used the Swiss model server. Their structure was then energetically minimized using SPDB viewer software and visualized in the CHIMERA UCSF software. Molecular dockings were performed using AutoDock Vina, and candidate drugs were selected based on binding affinity (∆G). Hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions between ligands and proteins were visualized using Ligplot and the Discovery Studio Visualizer v3.0 software. Our results showed 58 drugs against RdRp, which had binding energy of − 8.5 or less, and 69 drugs to inhibit the 3CLpro enzyme with a binding energy of − 8.1 or less. Six drugs based on binding energy and number of hydrogen bonds were chosen for the next step of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate drug-protein interactions (including Nilotinib, Imatinib and dihydroergotamine for 3clpro and Lapatinib, Dexasone and Relategravir for RdRp). Except for Lapatinib, other drugs-complexes were stable during MD simulation. Raltegravir, an anti-HIV drug, was observed to be the best compound against RdRp based on docking binding energy (− 9.5 kcal/mole) and MD results. According to the MD results and binding energy, dihydroergotamine is a suitable candidate for 3clpro inhibition (− 9.6 kcal/mol). These drugs were classified into several categories, including antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, cardiovascular, anticoagulant, BPH and impotence, antipsychotic, antimigraine, anticancer, and so on. The common prescription-indications for some of these medication categories appeared somewhat in line with manifestations of COVID-19. We hope that they can be beneficial for patients with certain specific symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, but they can also probably inhibit viral enzymes. We recommend further experimental evaluations in vitro and in vivo on these FDA-approved drugs to assess their potential antiviral effect on SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been regarded as important tools for cell-cell communication. They act as carriers for the transfer of various molecules such as genes, proteins and miRNA. EVs shift and transfer their ingredients to target cells in an active form. These particles have prominent roles in modulation of bone marrow (BM) niche; therefore they can regulate proliferation, differentiation, and other properties of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). This review discusses the different roles of EVs on BM niche; HPCs fate regulation and downstream effects of them on HSCs. Moreover, cellular and molecular mechanisms of BM microenvironment cross-talking are explained in healthy and malignant settings.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease with various genetic and epigenetic factors leading to difficulties in response to both the therapy and drug resistance. Moreover, even in tumors with similar histopathological characteristics, different responses and molecular features could be observed because of the genetic basis and its interactions with the living environment. Through personalized medicine, we can classify patients into separate groups according to their genetic and epigenetic features and their susceptibility for a specific disease which could help with choosing the best therapeutic approach. In this review, genetic and epigenetic factors that cause heterogeneity in colorectal cancer are evaluated and proper drug administration in both chemotherapy and target therapy are suggested.

Abstract
Currently, regenerative medicine and cellular-based therapy have been in the center of attention worldwide in advanced medical technology. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) as a suitable stem cell source for cell-based therapy has been shown to be safe and effective in multiple clinical trial studies (CTSs) of several diseases. Despite the advantages, MSC needs more investigation to enhance its therapeutic application. The CRISPR/Cas system is a novel technique for editing of genes that is being explored as a means to improve MSCs therapeutic usage. In this study, we review the recent studies that explore CRISPR potency in gene engineering of MSCs, which have great relevance in MSC-based therapies. However, CRISPR/Cas technology make possible specific targeting of loci in target genes, but next-generation MSC-based therapies to achieve extensive clinical application need dedicated efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer testis antigens (CTAs) are considered cancer bio-markers due to their highly specific expression pattern in human malignancies and near absence from normal somatic tissues. Their specific expression has made them potential targets for early dia-gnosis, assessment of patients prognosis and treatment of cancer in recent years. Lactobacilli are a group of probio-tics with anti-cancer, immunomodulatory and other beneficial features. These bacteria have been shown to alter expression of several cancer-related genes. AIM We investigated the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG supernatant (LRS) and Lactobacillus crispatus SJ-3C-US supernatant (LCS) on expression of four CTAs (TSGA10, AURKC, OIP5 and AKAP4) in HeLa cell line after synchronization using MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS LRS and LCS inhibited HeLa cell growth after 24 h as demonstrated by MTT assay. Expressions of all CTAs were down-regulated after treatment with both supernatants. CONCLUSION This study showed the role of Lactobacilli in down-regulation of CTAs genes. Such expression change might be involved in the anticancer effects of these Lactobacilli. The underlying mechanisms of these observations are not clear but epigenetic modulatory mechanisms may participate in this process. Future studies are needed to assess functional roles of Lactobacilli in modulation of other cancer-related genes. Key words: probio-tic - cancer testis antigen - bio-marker - HeLa cell line.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-organic failure to thrive (NFTT) is the most common cause of failure to thrive (FTT) which is attributed to inadequate nutrition due to economic factors or parental neglect . NFTT can lead to a vicious cycle of poor and inadequate eating and severity of anemia. The aim of this study was to determine the hematological indices in children with NFTT. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a cross sectional case control study, iron status and blood indices of forty five aged 6-60 months children with NFTT were evaluated and compared with 45 healthy control children (with matching of age and sex). RESULTS In this study, the prevalence of anemia was 48.9% in NFTT compared to 11.4% in the control group (p<0.001). Microcytic anemia was significantly more prevalent among the subjects than the controls (77.8% versus 27.3%; p<0. 001). The serum iron level was 73.2 and 62.8 mcg/dl for the case and control groups (P=0.29). The ferritin level in the study group was 29.8 versus 35.47 ng/ml in the control group (p=0.227). The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among children with mild, moderate, and severe underweight was 44.4%, 45.5%, and 48%, respectively. The highest prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia was seen between age group of 12 and 24 months (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Based on the results of this study, a correlation between malnutrition and anemia was found. However, further studies are needed to assess and confirm the current outcomes.

Abstract
Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is a key gene in DNA double-strand break (DSB), and therefore, most of its disabling genetic alterations play an important initiative role in many types of cancer. However, the exact role of ATM gene and its epigenetic alterations, especially promoter methylation in different grades of brain tumors, remains elusive. The current study was conducted to query possible correlations among methylation statue of ATM gene, ATM/ retinoblastoma (RB) protein expression, D1853N ATM polymorphism, telomere length (TL), and clinicopathological characteristics of various types of brain tumors. Isolated DNA from 30 fresh tissues was extracted from different types of brain tumors and two brain tissues from deceased normal healthy individuals. DNAs were treated with bisulfate sodium using DNA modification kit (Qiagen). Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP-PCR) was implicated to determine the methylation status of treated DNA templates confirmed by promoter sequencing. Besides, the ATM and RB protein levels were determined by immunofluorescence (IF) assay using monoclonal mouse antihuman against ATM, P53, and RB proteins. To achieve an interactive correlation, the methylation data were statistically analyzed by considering TL and D1853N ATM polymorphism. More than 73% of the brain tumors were methylated in ATM gene promoter. There was strong correlation between ATM promoter methylation and its protein expression (p < 0.001). As a triangle, meaningful correlation was also found between methylated ATM promoter and ATM protein expression with D1853N ATM polymorphism (p = 0.01). ATM protein expression was not in line with RB protein expression while it was found to be significantly correlated with ATM promoter methylation (p = 0.01). There was significant correlation between TL neither with ATM promoter methylation nor with ATM protein expression nor with D1853N polymorphism. However, TL has shown strong correlation with patient's age and tumor grade (p = 0.01). Given the important role of cell cycle checkpoint proteins as well as RB and ATM in TL and cancer evolution, further assessment is warranted to shed more light on the pathway linking the telomere instability to tumor progression. High ATM methylation rate in brain tumor patients could open a new avenue toward early screening and cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of multipotent progenitors which have the capacity of proliferation and differentiation into mesenchymal lineage cells. Hypoxia could promote the proliferation of MSCs. Micro-RNAs are endogenous RNAs that can play an important role in some processes such as proliferation and differentiation. MiR-210 could help for better proliferation of MSCs since this miRNA could activate HIF pathway. In current study we investigated if MSCs can preserve their differentiation and proliferation ability under normoxic conditions by upregulation of miR-210. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSCs isolated from C57 BL/6 mice by flushing it's femurs into the cell culture media. After 72 hours, MSCs which are plastic adherent cells were attached to the flask and non-adherent cells were removed. Subsequently, MSCs induced to differentiate into osteocytes and adipocytes with specific differentiation media in order to confirm their identity and multipotency. Then miR-210 was inserted in Lentiviruse vectors and affected MSCs. In each passage, the number and viability of cells were evaluated. RESULTS Comparison between miR-210 infected MSCs with control cells showed that miR-210 has ability to increase proliferation of MSCs significantly. CONCLUSION We showed that miR-210 has ability to induce proliferation of MSCs without any negative effect on their differentiation abilities. Further studies are needed for evaluation of probable effects of miR-210 mechanisms on MSCs proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The major hemoglobin in the fetus is hemoglobin F (HbF) (α2γ2), whereas in adult humans, hemoglobin A (α2β2) is predominately expressed. Several studies have indicated that expression of the HbF subunit γ-globin might be regulated post-transcriptionally. This could be done by small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs which target mRNAs in a sequence-specific manner and lead to translational repression or mRNA decay. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of miR-26b up-regulation on γ-globin gene expression in K-562 cell line. METHODS These cells were grown in RPMI 1640 and pre miR-26b and were transfected within K-562 cell line using lentiviral vector. After RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis in selected days, miRNA up-regulation was confirmed by miRNA real time PCR and then γand βchain and GATA-1 expression were investigated by RT and QRT-PCR. RESULTS The viability of cells before transfection was 90%. Three and 7 days after transfection, through the use of relative Q-PCR, the γ chain expression increased 3.7, 6.8 and 3.8 folds and GATA-1 expression increased 2.1, 6.0 and 8.0 in comparison with untransfected cells. CONCLUSION The data suggest that miR-26b can be involved in the increase of γ-globin gene expression in K-562 cell line. We suggest that miR-26b may be a significant therapeutic target for increasing HbF levels in patients with sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia.

Abstract
Ten patients (nine males, one female), seen at the Asir Central Hospital of South-Western Saudi Arabia with proven traumatic diaphragmatic hernia between 1987 and 1997, were reviewed retrospectively. The mean age was 29.6 years, range 5 to 50 years. Chest pain and vomiting were the commonest symptoms. Blunt trauma (road traffic accident--5, fall from height--1, (accounted for 60% of the cases) while gunshot wound and stab wounds were the causes in two patients each. The chest radiograph suggested the diagnosis in all the cases. Barium meal (in two patients) and barium enema (in two patients) complemented the diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT) scan was done in only one patient. Thoracotomy (in 2 patients), laparotomy (in 5 patients) and thoraco-laparotomy (in 3 patients) were the surgical approaches to management. Common herniated organs were liver, stomach, spleen and large bowel. The injuries were on the left side in seven patients and on the right side in three cases. Immediate surgical repair was done in four patients while it was done two days to four years later in others. Complications were minimal and there was only one death.
