Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poor response to platelet and recombinant factor VII administration is a major problem in patients with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT). The risk factors associated with poor response to treatment in these patients are unknown. Some genetic variations of cytokines may contribute to therapy resistance. AIMS We evaluated, for the first time, whether genetic polymorphisms on cytokine genes are related to poor treatment response in GT patients. METHODS We enrolled 30 patients with GT (15 resistant and 15 non-resistant) and 100 healthy controls. Gene polymorphisms of IL-10 and TNF-α were analysed using TaqMan Realtime PCR, and IL-1, IL-1R1 and IL-1RN were investigated with the RFLP method. In-silico analyses were performed to predict the potential impact of these polymorphisms. RESULTS In the resistant group, all patients had a variant of the IL-10 gene at the -1082 position (rs1800896), with a GG genotype that was significantly more frequent than the non-resistant group. Analysis between healthy controls and GT patients revealed a probable correlation between rs3783550, rs3783553, rs3917356 and rs2234463 and GT. The In-silico study indicated that TNF-α rs1800629 and IL-10 rs1800896 polymorphisms result in different allelic expressions which may contribute to poor response to therapy. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that polymorphisms in the IL-10 and IL-1 receptor antagonist genes may play a role in poor therapy response in GT patients. In addition, some polymorphisms in IL-1α, IL1-β, IL-1R1 and IL-R antagonists might be involved in the GT progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital fibrinogen deficiencies (CFD) are a group of rare bleeding disorders (RBD). Afibrinogenemia as a subclass of these disorders would occurs as a result of mutations in fibrinogen gene. Here in, the sequences of Aα chain of fibrinogen (FGA) in patients with inherited afibrinogenemia disorder in south-eastern of Iran were analysed. METHODS The FGA gene exons were amplified using PCR method and the DNA sequences were analysed to study the mutations in Aα chain of Fibrinogen. RESULTS Results showed that there was no large deletion in FGA gene. Although a frame shift mutation: c.196_197insT p.Ser66PhefsX10 in a patient and a novel mutation of IVS2-1G>A in two other patients were detected which were different from those detected in European population. CONCLUSION Different mutations are responsible of afibrinogenemia deficiency which requires more relevant studies for confirmation. The type and distribution of mutations in fibrinogen gene in Iranian patients is significantly different with reported mutations in European patients.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the association of health-related quality of life in hemophilia patients with inhibitor and clinical and demographic characteristics. Methods In this multi-center cross-sectional study, 41 male patients with hemophilia A were investigated from May to October 2021. All patients were registered at the Hemophilia Clinic affiliated with Shiraz and Zahedan Universities of Medical Sciences in Iran. Health-related quality of life of the patients was evaluated by the Short Form-36 questionnaire. Results The patients' mean ± SD of age was 36.9 ± 13.2 (range: 18-76) years. Eleven patients (26.8%) were inhibitor positive. In univariate analysis, physical function, mental health dimension, and total Short Form-36 scores were significantly lower in the inhibitor-positive patients (p < 0.001, p = 0.045, and p = 0.035, respectively). Moreover, patients with severe disease showed significantly lower scores in physical function (p < 0.001), physical health dimension (p = 0.018), and total Short Form-36 (p = 0.031) than those with mild and moderate hemophilia. Also, blood-borne infections showed a significant association with lower score in physical health dimension (p = 0.038). In addition, annual bleeding rate showed significant negative correlations with physical health dimension (rs = -0.609, p < 0.001), mental health dimension (r = -0.317, p = 0.044), and total Short Form-36 (r = -0.455, p = 0.003) scores. In multiple linear regression analysis, disease severity revealed a significant negative relationship with scores in physical function (p = 0.001), role physical (RP) (p = 0.015), general health (GH) (p = 0.006), physical health dimension (p = 0.006), and marginally in total Short Form-36 score (p = 0.054). Also, age of the patients showed a significant negative association with physical function and GH scores (p < 0.001 and p = 0.015, respectively). Conclusion Disease severity and age were shown as independent factors affecting health-related quality of life, but inhibitor alone was not an independent influencing factor. Reduced health-related quality of life was also observed in hemophilia patients with higher annual bleeding rate and blood-borne infections. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to these subgroups. Further studies with larger sample size are needed for more accurate results.

Abstract
Tribo-charging is often a root cause of mass flow deviations and powder adhesion during continuous feeding. Thus, it may critically impact product quality. In this study, we characterized the volumetric (split- and pre-blend) feeding behavior and process-induced charge of two direct compression grades of polyols, galenIQ™ 721 (G721) for isomalt and PEARLITOL® 200SD (P200SD) for mannitol, under different processing conditions. The feeding mass flow range and variability, hopper end fill level, and powder adhesion were profiled. The feeding-induced tribo-charging was measured using a Faraday cup. Both materials were comprehensively characterized for relevant powder properties, and their tribo-charging was investigated for its dependence on particle size and relative humidity. During split-feeding experiments, G721 showed a comparable feeding performance to P200SD with lower tribo-charging and adhesion to the screw outlet of the feeder. Depending on the processing condition, the charge density of G721 ranged from -0.01 up to -0.39 nC/g, and for P200SD from -3.19 up to -5.99 nC/g. Rather than differences in the particle size distribution of the two materials, their distinct surface and structural characteristics were found as the main factors affecting their tribo-charging. The good feeding performance of both polyol grades was also maintained during pre-blend feeding, where reduced tribo-charging and adhesion propensity was observed for P200SD (decreasing from -5.27 to -0.17 nC/g under the same feeding settings). Here, it is proposed that the mitigation of tribo-charging occurs due to a particle size-driven mechanism.

Abstract
Background Dyskeratosis congenita (DC), an inherited and rare disease prevalent in males, is clinically manifested by reticulate hyperpigmentation, nail dystrophy, and leukoplakia. DC is associated with the increased risk of malignancy and other potentially lethal complications such as bone marrow failure, as well as lung and liver diseases. Mutations in 19 genes were found to be correlated with DC. Herein, we report a 12-year-old boy carrying a de novo mutation in TINF2 gene. Methods Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on DNA sample of the proband, and the variant was investigated in the family by Sanger sequencing. Population and bioinformatics analysis were performed. Results The NM_ 001099274.3(TINF2): c.844C>T (p.Arg282Cys) mutation was found by WES. Conclusion There was no history of the disease in the family, and the variant was classified as a de novo mutation.

Abstract
The surface of particles is the hotspot of interaction with their environment and is therefore a major target for particle engineering. Particles with tailored coatings are greatly desired for a range of different applications. Amorphous coatings applied via film coating or microencapsulation have frequently been described in the pharmaceutical context and usually result in homogeneous surfaces. In the present study we have been exploring the feasibility of coating core particles with crystalline substances, a matter that has rarely been investigated. The expansion of the range of possible coating materials to include small organic molecules enables completely new product properties to be achieved. We present an approach based on temperature cycles performed in a tubular crystallizer to result in engineered crystalline coatings on excipient core particles. By manipulating the process settings and by the choice of coating substance we are able to tailor surface roughness, topography as well as surface chemistry. Benefits of our approach are demonstrated by using resulting particles as carriers in dry-powder-inhaler formulations. Depending on the resulting surface chemistry and surface roughness, coated carrier particles show varying fitness for delivering the model API salbutamol sulphate to the lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In comparison with the general population, women with bleeding disorders are more prone to develop obstetrical and gynecological problems. However, no comprehensive evaluation has investigated the prevalence of hemorrhagic ovarian cysts (HOCs) in rare bleeding disorders (RBDs). In this study, we sought to determine the prevalence of HOCs in a large cohort of Iranian patients with RBDs. METHODS A total of 210 symptomatic patients suspected of HOCs with RBD were included. The median age of the study population was 24 years. Patients were diagnosed with fibrinogen disorders (n = 7, 3%), factor (F) II (n = 4, 2%), FV (n = 28, 13%), FVII (n = 4, 2%), FX (n = 6, 3%), FXIII (n = 122, 58%), combined FV and FVIII (n = 8, 4%), Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (n = 10, 5%), and von Willebrand disease (VWD) type 3 (n = 21, 10%). RESULTS Following further clinical and ultrasound examinations of these 210 patients, 68 (32.4%) were confirmed with a diagnosis of HOCs. Of which, FXIII deficiency with 46 cases (67.6%), followed by VWD type 3 (6 cases, 8.8%) showed the highest number. Other coagulation defects associated with HOCs were including fibrinogen deficiency (n = 2, 3%), FII (n = 2, 3%), FV (n = 4, 6%), FVII (n = 2, 3%), FX (n = 1, 1.5%), combined FV and FVIII (n = 2, 3%), and Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (n = 3, 4.5%). CONCLUSION This study found a high prevalence of HOCs in patients with RBDs, indicating the importance of early diagnosis and optimal management of obstetric and gynecological complications in these patients.

Abstract
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal mortality, which is a common clinical manifestation in women with rare bleeding disorders. In this study, we compare PPH and its complications in heterozygote factor XIII (FXIII) deficient women with healthy women. In this cross sectional case study, 50 women with heterozygote FXIII deficiency and 50 healthy women are evaluated. Data were initially collected by interviewing the women who were receiving FXIII replacement therapy after their childbirths. Data were analysed using SPSS (Version 22) and a P-value of less than .05 was considered statistically significant. The mean age in the patient and control groups were 31.2 and 32.5 years respectively. The occurring rate of PPH in the patient group was significantly higher than the control group (34% vs 2%) (P-value <.0001). None of the confounding variables such as maternal age, gestational age, numbers, and types of delivery in women with PPH showed any significant differences between the control and patient groups. According to the results of this study, the risk of PPH (early and late), miscarriage, and menorrhagia in women who are heterozygous for FXIII deficiency is significantly higher than healthy women. However, the effect of other factors such as maternal age, gestational age, number, and type of delivery require further studies to delineate any confounding factors.

Abstract
Recently, many of the studies have illustrated that the new pandemic SARS-CoV-2 can affect Central Nervous System through the olfactory bulb. In addition to investigating anosmia or hyposmia induced by this virus, a quantitative analysis was needed to clarify the taste and smell disorder of the new coronavirus. The four basic taste quality with five concentrations for sweet, sour, bitter, and salty were administered to 75 subjects divided into three groups: COVID-19 patients with taste disorder, COVID-19 patients without taste disorder, and control group. The results indicated the increment of sweet (2.68 ± 0.14), sour (3.34 ± 0.12) and bitter (3.39 ± 0.2) thresholds in COVID-19 patients with taste disorder in comparison with patients without taste disorder that the threshold were: 2 ± 0.16, 2.11 ± 0.2 and 2.55 ± 0.5 for sweet, sour, and bitter respectively. On the other hand, the patients inversely showed a significant decrease in the salty taste threshold (0.51 ± 0.03) compared to COVID-19 positive control groups (1.11 ± 0.11). Additionally, despite taste disorder in almost all of the patients with smell deficiency, only 30% of cases with taste disorder reported smell deficiency. It may be concluded that some of the taste disorders in patients with COVID-19 disorder could be associated with taste receptors dysfunction or the spread of infection to the cranial nerves responsible for the conduction of tastes sensation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the T helper (Th) to T cytotoxic (Tc) ratio in children suffering from type A hemophilia disease and to evaluate the correlation of this ratio with disease severity. MATERIAL AND METHOD Two mls of EDTA anti coagulated whole blood was collected. Immunophenotyping of lymphocytes count was carried out by FACS analysis using a double CD4 and CD8 kit. The mean ± SD of absolute numbers of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes/ml was calculated and the ratio of CD4/CD8 was evaluated by statistical method. RESULTS Among 80 type A hemophilia patients, 66 (82.5%) were male. The mean age was 15 ± 3.51 years. 12 (15%) of them were suffering from mild disease and 68 (85%) had sever disease. The CD4 /CD8 ratio was obtained between 0.45 and 1.44 with mean1.79 ± 0.78. The correlation between this ration and disease severity was 0.019. CONCLUSION The results showed that CD4/CD8 ratio has correlation with disease severity in type A hemophilia patients, however there was no association between this ratio and gender.

Abstract
This article reviews the current knowledges of congenital bleeding disorders (CBD) amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It appears that CBD is not associated with higher risk of getting COVID-19 and so the prevalence of COVID-19 among them seems not higher compared to the general population. In absence of specific therapeutic recommendations, it is essential to make a correct assessment of the risk of haemorrhage/thrombosis. Based on expert opinion, strategies for outpatient management include adherence to prescribed regimens, telemedicine, and communication about COVID-19 in patients with CBD. More data should be also collected to better characterize the impact of COVID-19 on patients with CBD. The current findings encourage further studies to determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV2 infection in CBD patients to understand more fully the burden of this novel pathogen and to develop adequate preventive measures against this infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Factor XIII deficiency is one of the most severe congenital bleeding disorders with high rate of life-threatening bleeding including central nervous system bleeding, umbilical cord bleeding, and recurrent miscarriages. Due to the highest global incidence of the disorder in Iran, this study aimed to design a premarital screening program in Iran. METHODS This descriptive study was performed on 30 couples with a positive family history of factor XIII deficiency. Underling F13A gene mutation was determined in the family members, and all the selected couples underwent molecular testing mutations by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), tetra primer-amplification refractory mutation system-PCR (T-ARMS-PCR), and sequencing. RESULTS The probability of affected childbirth existed for ten couples. Three couples decided not to marry, while seven got married and three of them decided to have a baby. The genotypes of the fetuses were determined and revealed that none of them was a homozygote for the F13A gene mutation. CONCLUSIONS Because of the importance of factor XIII deficiency diagnosis, it can be helpful to control the incidence of factor XIII deficiency by implementing preventive programs such as premarital screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ISTH bleeding assessment tool (ISTH-BAT) is developed for standardization of bleeding symptoms in bleeding disorders. The aim of this study is to apply this bleeding score for FXIII deficient patients and its relation to the frequency and severity of symptoms. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 63 patients with severe FXIII deficiency were evaluated for the assessment of bleeding score according to the standard ISTH-BAT questionnaire. All patients were registered at two major thrombosis and hemostasis centers in Iran affiliated to Zahedan University of medical sciences (50 patients) and Shiraz University of medical sciences (13 patients). RESULTS Significant correlations between the bleeding score and number of symptoms (r = 0.668, P < 0.001) and with a number of severe symptoms (r = 0.938, P < 0.001) were detected. There was no significant relationship between the mean bleeding score and CNS bleeding (P = 0.390). CONCLUSION The ISTH-BAT score is an acceptable bleeding assessment tool for standardization and evaluation of patients with FXIII deficiency.

Abstract
We assessed clinical presentations and the rate of central nervous system (CNS) bleeding in neonates with FXIIID who exhibited bleeding diathesis in the early days of their lives. A total of 27 neonates presented bleeding or abnormal clinical symptoms, diagnosed with FXIII deficiency were evaluated. Factor XIII concentrate was initiated as the first-line of treatment, and prophylactic therapy was given to all patients. Umbilical cord bleeding, delayed detachment of umbilical stunt, seizure, hematoma, and ecchymosis were concurrent complications in 27 (100%), 5 (18.5%), 5 (18.5%), 3 (11.1%), and 1 (3.7%) of the patients, respectively. History of having CNS bleeding was detected in 13 (48.1%) patients. There was no significant association between CNS bleeding and gender, familial history of FXIIID, or other clinical presentations. Also, there was no significant difference in the mean age of the patients who had CNS bleeding (3.4 ± 0.9 days) and without CNS bleeding (2.9 ± 0.7 days). However, a near significant threshold difference between the patients with and without CNS bleeding was found regarding the mean number of suspicious FXIIID death in their family (1.8 ± 0.5 and 0.7 ± 0.1, respectively, P = 0.05). Therefore, a suggested diagnostic algorithm based on prenatal diagnosis could be useful for timely detection of FXIII deficiency in neonates.

Abstract
Congenital factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is an extremely rare hemorrhagic disorder characterized by a deficiency of FXIII and associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The disorder is more frequent in Iran, especially in Khash, a city in the southeast of the country. As identified in the current report, the prevalence of FXIII deficiency in this city is 1 homozygote per approximately 500 population (which is ∼4,000 times higher than the worldwide prevalence) with 3.5% heterozygotes. The disorder is accompanied by a high rate of mortality in rural areas of Khash, given an averaged observed rate of approximately three deaths per each family with FXIII deficiency, mostly due to late-diagnosis and/or misdiagnosis, and fetal consequences of both umbilical cord and central nervous system bleeding. Almost all patients with FXIII deficiency in the southeast Iran have a unique mutation in F13A gene (Trp187Arg), which leads to a severe FXIII deficiency. This mutation is used for pre-marriage and prenatal diagnosis, as well as for carrier detection and diagnostic confirmation. Fibrogammin P has been used worldwide for about one decade, along with different therapeutic regimens for prophylaxis treatment, major and minor surgeries, and successful delivery. Due to the rapid increase in the number of patients identified to have congenital FXIII deficiency, and the high rate of related morbidity and mortality, a comprehensive regional preventive program is necessary to prevent further expansion of this condition and decrease the burden on the health care system. The area of Khash city provides novel insights into severe FXIII deficiency due to its high prevalence in this region. This report also provides a review of FXIII deficiency, its diagnosis, prevalence, molecular basis, clinical manifestations, management, and treatment, with a particular focus on Iran, representing a hotspot for this disorder.

Abstract
Due to the inconsistency of monoacylglycerols’ (MAGs) impacts and the lack of research concerning the weight of saturated monoacylglycerols on the oxidative stability of oils, the current study was designed. For this purpose, saturated MAGs at 0.5, 3.0 and 5.0% were added to canola oil and subsequently exposed to a Schaall oven test at 60 °C for 31 days (to assimilate moderate thermal conditions and a prolonged treatment time) and a Rancimat test at 110 °C (to assimilate extreme thermal conditions and shorter treatment time). To evaluate the quality and oxidative stability parameters of MAG-containing canola oil, free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), and the oxidative stability index (OSI) were determined. The findings indicated that with the increase in MAG levels, the FFA increased from 0.05 up to 0.2%. The PV increased from 2 to 100 meq/L with the increase in MAG concentration. Also, it was shown that OSI increased from 12.20 to 13.10 h, which was proportional to MAG concentration.

Abstract
Background: Telomeres are involved in chromosomal stability, cellular immortality and tumorigenesis. Human
telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is essential for the maintenance of telomere DNA length. Recently, a variable
tandem-repeats polymorphism, MNS16A, located in the downstream region of the TERT gene, was reported to have
an effect on TERT expression and telomerase activity. Previous studies have linked both relative telomere length
(RTL) and TERT variants with cancer. Therefore, we evaluated associations between RTL, TERT gene polymorphisms
(hTERT, rs2735940 C/T and MNS16A Ins/Del) and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in an Iranian
population. Methods: RTL was determined by a multiplex quantitative PCR-based method, and variants of the hTERT,
rs2735940 C/T and MNS16A Ins/Del, were genotyped by amplification refractory mutation system PCR (ARMS-PCR),
and PCR, respectively. Results: Our results indicated that RTL was shorter in ALL patients (1.53±0.12) compared to
the control group (2.04±0.19) (P=0.029). However, no associations between hTERT gene variants or haplotypes and
the risk of childhood ALL were observed (P>0.05). Also hTERT polymorphisms were not associated with RTL or
patient clinicopathological characteristics, including age (P=0.304), sex (P=0.061) organomegally (P=0.212) CSF
involvement (P=0.966) or response to treatment (P=0.58). Conclusions: We found that telomere attrition may be
related to the pathogenesis of childhood ALL, irrespective to TERT variants.

Abstract
Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is the most dreadful complication, and the main cause of death among patients with rare bleeding disorders (RBD) and prenatal diagnosis (PND) is a preventative lifesaving program. A total of 39 PNDs were reported in the literature through a search on PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, most often for congenital factor (F) XIII and FVII deficiencies and rarely in FX, FV deficiencies and afibrinogenemia. The main cause to request a PND is ICH and related morbidity and mortality. Different molecular methods including direct sequencing and linkage analysis as well as polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) for a specific mutation are the most common used methods for PND, while factor assay and combination of molecular and factor assay also were used. In this research, 7 severely affected foetuses were identified during PND including 3 foetuses with FXIII deficiency, 3 with FVII deficiency and 1 with FX deficiency. Out of these 7 cases, intrauterine ICH occurred in 1 case with FXIII deficiency, 1 was electively aborted and 1 case with severe FVII deficiency received intrauterine factor transfusion. Postdelivery ICH was reported for 1 patient with severe FVII deficiency within the first month of life. All other pregnancies were uneventful.

Abstract
Background: Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal disease. HPA (Human Platelet Alloantigen) is a surface polymorphic alloantigen of platelets. This study was intended to investigate and compare the polymorphism of HPA-1 and HPA-5 genes in two groups of GT patients, with and without resistance to platelet and recombinant factor VII therapy. Materials and Methods: This case control study was performed on GT patients (n=16) with resistance to platelet therapy and recombinant factor VII and control group of GT patients (n=16) without resistance to platelet therapy and recombinant factor VII. The consent form was completed by each patient. Gene polymorphisms of HPA-1 and HPA-5 were investigated using SSP-PCR, and the obtained data were analyzed using statistical software SPSS16.0. Results: The results indicated no significant relationship between the studied genes and their resistance to platelet therapy and recombinant factor VII. The frequencies of HPA-1 genotype a/a were 98% and 94% in patient and control groups, respectively. The frequency of allele b was found to be less than allele a. The value of this allele was 4% in patient group and 1% in control group. In addition, the HPA-5a/a (98%) was the most frequent alloantigen?? (check it) in both groups. Seven percent (7%) of the patients had the HPA-5a/b genotype, and the HPA-5b/b was found to be absent in these individuals. Conclusion: According to the results obtained, it could be concluded that these genes play no role in resistance to platelet therapy.

Abstract
The present case-control study was conducted on 110 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 120 healthy children to determine the impact of polymorphisms in paired-box gene 8 (PAX8) antisense RNA 1 (PAX8-AS1), namely rs4848320 C>T, rs6726151 T>G and rs1110839 G>T, on ALL risk. Genotyping was performed through the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The findings indicated that the rs4848320 variant increased the risk of ALL in codominant [CT vs. CC: odds ratio (OR)=2.13, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.16-3.90, P=0.014; and TT vs. CC: OR=2.21, 95% CI=1.03-4.74, P=0.041], dominant (CT+TT vs. CC: OR=2.15, 95% CI=1.22-3.81, P=0.009,) and allele (T vs. C: OR=1.55, 95% CI=1.07-2.25, P=0.024) inheritance models. The rs6726151 variant significantly increased the risk of ALL in codominant (GT vs. GG: OR=1.88, 95% CI=1.08-3.27, P=0.036) and overdominant (GT vs. GG+TT: OR=2.08, 95% CI=1.23-3.53, P=0.008) inheritance models. No significant relationship was identified between the rs1110839 G>T variant and disease risk/protection in childhood ALL. In conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that rs4848320 and rs6726151 polymorphisms of PAX8-AS1 may be a risk factor for the development of childhood ALL. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different ethnicities are now required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Essentials Data on surgery in factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency patients are scarce and lack standardized guidelines. Variable dosage of 10-50 U kg-1 was given to FXIII deficiency patients undergoing surgery. Surgical outcomes showed excellent hemostasis with a minimal risk of post-operative complications. Surgery can be performed safely in FXIII deficiency patients following FXIII administration. SUMMARY Background The lack of accepted standardized surgical guidelines leads to dependence on the treating physicians' and centers' experiences. Aim Our aim is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of a large group of congenital factor XIII deficiency (FXIIID) patients. Methods A case series study was conducted prior to surgery on congenital FXIIID patients in two major referral centers located in Iran from 2010 to 2016. All patients were on prophylaxis using plasma factor XIII concentrate (10 U kg-1 , every 28 days) except for three patients. Single doses of 10 U kg-1 or 30 U kg-1 plasma factor XIII concentrate were given before a minor procedure and circumcision, respectively. Two doses of plasma factor XIII concentrate, one 30 U kg-1 prior to the procedure and the second dose of 30 U kg-1 on postoperative day 3, were given for major surgery. The dose was 50 U kg-1 both before and after neurosurgical procedures. Results One hundred and sixty-two FXIIID patients underwent minor, major and obstetrical/gynecological surgeries. Median age of the patients was 14 years (ages ranged 15 days to 47 years). The male-to-female ratio was 89/73. Five postoperative complications, two bleeding and three thrombosis, were recorded. Conclusion Our study showed excellent hemostasis in FXIIID patients undergoing surgeries. During the period of these surgeries, we observed only 1.8% postoperative complications. Surgery can be performed safely in FXIIID patients, and our proposed treatment regimens lead to adequate hemostatic coverage with minimal risk, for both minor and major surgeries.

Abstract
: Diagnosis of factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency (FXIIID) as a rare bleeding disorder is a challenge worldwide. Thus, in the present study, we used different methods including two molecular methods for detection of FXIIID. This study was conducted on individuals suspected to FXIIID. All individuals were checked by two routinely used methods of clot solubility test in Iran and two other clot solubility tests as well as FXIII activity and antigen assays. Molecular analysis was performed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system (T-ARMS)-PCR for only FXIIID mutation in southeast Iran (p.Trp187Arg), previously associated with severe FXIIID. Out of 151 individuals, 26 had abnormal clot solubility test with all four methods. PCR-RFLP revealed that 27 patients were homozygotes for p.Trp187Arg, whereas 12 were heterozygotes. Molecular analysis revealed that in routinely used clot solubility combinations, two homozygotes (∼8%) were missed, whereas in two other combinations, one patient (∼4%) was missed. One false positive result was observed in routinely used methods, whereas further combinations don't have false positive. T-ARMS-PCR had three discrepancies with PCR-RFLP and sequencing confirmed that the results of T-ARMS-PCR were false. FXIII antigen assay diagnosed all homozygotes, whereas in FXIII activity assay, two homozygotes had higher than 5% FXIII activity that inconsistent with severe deficiency. It seems that clot solubility test is not enough sensitive and specific and molecular analysis is the most reliable method for detection of FXIIID in areas such Iran with one or few specific mutations.

Abstract
The association of celiac disease (CD) with cancers of gastrointestinal origin has been noted. However, coincidence of CD with nongastrointestinal neoplasms is an unusual event. Here we present five children with concurrent CD and nongastrointestinal neoplasms. All of the patients had positive serologic results for anti-tTG antibodies. Histological investigation of intestinal mucosa showed inflammation (Marsh score = 2) in all the patients. Two of these patients represented with germ cell malignancies. One patient had Wilms' tumor. To our knowledge, these are the first reports of coincidence of these two cancers with CD in children. From the remaining two patients, one was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and the other with astrocytoma. The diagnosis of malignancy preceded CD diagnosis in all the patients (mean ages of cancer and CD diagnosis of 1.8 and 5.4 years old, respectively). Whether malignancy can promote immune deregulation and predispose to CD is uncertain. On the other hand, undiagnosed celiac may be a risk factor for cancer. Our results suggest a potential association of CD with malignancy nature of CD, however, occurrence of CD may be influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. There are few reports noting CD as a paraneoplastic condition. Further investigations are necessitated to stablish such relationship.

Abstract
Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) is a tumor suppressor gene, which is involved in several malignancies. Epigenetic alterations in FHIT have been hypothesized to contribute to tumorigenesis. The present study aimed to examine DNA promoter methylation and gene expression levels of FHIT in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), in a sample of Iranian patients. The promoter methylation status of FHIT was analyzed in 100 patients diagnosed with ALL and 120 healthy control patients. mRNA expression levels were assessed in 30 new cases of ALL compared with 32 healthy controls. Hypermethylation of the FHIT promoter was significantly more frequent in patients with ALL than in healthy controls (OR=3.83, 95% CI=1.51-9.75, P=0.007). Furthermore, FHIT mRNA expression levels were significantly reduced in childhood ALL patients compared with healthy controls (P=0.032). The results of the present study revealed that dysregulation of the FHIT gene may contribute to the pathogenesis of childhood ALL. Future studies investigating a larger sample population with greater ethnic diversity would be beneficial, to confirm the results from the present study.

Abstract
Factor XIII deficiency (FXIIID) is a rare hereditary bleeding disorder arising from heterogeneous mutations, which can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage. The diagnosis of FXIIID is challenging due to normal standard coagulation assays requiring specific FXIII assays for diagnosis, which is especially difficult in developing countries. This report presents an overview of FXIIID diagnosis and laboratory methods and suggests an algorithm to improve diagnostic efficiency and prevent missed or delayed FXIIID diagnosis. Assays measuring FXIII activity: The currently available assays utilized to diagnose FXIIID, including an overview of their complexity, reliability, sensitivity, and specificity, as well as mutational analysis are reviewed. The use of a FXIII inhibitor assay is described. Diagnostic tools in FXIIID: Many laboratories are not equipped with quantitative FXIII activity assays, and if available, limitations in lower activity ranges are important to consider. Clot solubility tests are not standardized, have a low sensitivity, and are therefore not recommended as routine screening test; however, they are the first screening test in almost all coagulation laboratories in developing countries. To minimize the number of patients with undiagnosed FXIIID, test quality should be improved in less well-equipped laboratories. Common country-specific mutations may facilitate diagnosis through targeted genetic analysis in reference laboratories in suspected cases. However, genetic analysis may not be feasible in every country and may miss spontaneous mutations. Centralized FXIII activity measurements should also be considered. An algorithm for diagnosis of FXIIID including different approaches dependent upon laboratory capability is proposed.

Abstract
Background: Xmn-1 polymorphism of 𝜸Gglobin gene (HBG2) is a prominent quantitative trait loci (QTL) in β-thalassemia intermediate (β-TI). In current study, we evaluated the frequency of Xmn-1 polymorphism and its association with β-globin gene (HBB) alleles and Hb F level in β-TI patients in Sistan and Balouchestan province, south-east of Iran. Subjects and Methods: 45 β-TI patients were enrolled. HBB gene mutations and Xmn-1 polymorphism were determined by amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS) PCR method. Hemoglobin profile was determined using capillary electrophoresis. Results: The study participants consisted of 26 (58%) males and 19 (42%) females. Mean age of the patients was 10.7±3.1 years old. Overall, Xmn-1 polymorphism was observed in 28 (62%) patients. Homozygous (TT) and heterozygous (CT) genotypes of the polymorphism represented with frequencies of 12 (26%) and 16 (35%), respectively. Main recognized HBB gene mutation was IVSI-5(G>C) with homozygous frequency of 44%. Non-zero (β+) alleles of HBB gene constituted 11.1 % (4 patients with heterozygous β+ and one with homozygous β+ genotype). Hb F level was significantly higher in patients with at least one Xmn-1allele (67.9±[Formula: see text]17.9%) than those without the polymorphism (19.5±20.3%, P<0.0001). Also, patients with homozygous genotype demonstrated significantly higher Hb F compared to heterozygous (CT) cases (respective percentages of 85±[Formula: see text]6.8 and 54.7±[Formula: see text]10.5, p<0.0001). Conclusion: Our results highlighted the role of Xmn-1 polymorphism as the main phenotypic modifier in β-TI patients in Sistan and Balouchestan province.

Abstract
Inheritance of mild mutations within the β-globin gene and coinheritance of α-thalassemia (α-thal) are known as two important genetic modifiers in β-thalassemia (β-thal) intermedia (β-TI). We aimed to evaluate the spectrum of β- and α-thal mutations in β-TI patients in Southeast Iran. Common β- and α-globin gene mutations were detected by amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) and multiplex gap-PCR, respectively. There were 26 male (57.8%) and 19 female (42.2%) patients. HBB: c.92 + 5T > C [IVS-I-5 (G > C)] and HBB: c.-138C + 1G > A [IVS-II-I (G > A)] represented the prevalent alleles with respective frequencies of 60.0 and 10.0%. Other β-globin mutations included HBB: c.-138C > T [-88 (C > T)], HBB: c.27_28insG [frameshift codons (FSC) 8/9 (+G)], HBB: c.46delT [codon 15 (-T)], HBB: c.93-22_95del (IVS-I, 25 del), and the 619 bp deletion (NG_000007.3: g.71609_72227del619). The predominant genotypic combinations were β(0)/β(0) (68.9%), β(0)/β(+ )(8.9%) and β(+)/β(+ )(2.2%). Coinheritance of α-thal was observed in 33.0% of the patients, with the -α(3.7) (rightward) (NG_000006.1: g.34164_37967del3804) as the most common deletion (86.0%). One patient was diagnosed with the -α(4.2) (leftward) (AF221717) and one with the - -(MED) (g.24664_41064del16401) deletions, while no patients carried the -(α)(20.5) (g.15164_37864del22701), α(-5 nt) (HBA2: c.95 + 2_95_6delTGAGG) or codon 19 (-G) (HBA2: c.56delG) mutations. The alleviating molecular mechanism was not explainable by β(+ )or concurrent α-thal in more than half of our β-TI patients. This encourages conducting more studies to identify other contributing factors, especially Hb F-inducing genetic modifiers.

Abstract
We examined the possible relationship between three RAGE polymorphisms, -429C/T, -374 T/A, and 63-bp deletion, and susceptibility to childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in an Iranian population. This study included 75 ALL patients and 115 healthy subjects. Genotyping was performed using HEXA-ARMS-polymerase chain reaction. We found no significant association among RAGE gene polymorphisms and the risk for ALL at genotype, allelic and haplotype levels (P > 0.05). The hemoglobin levels were higher in patients with RAGE -374 TT than in the TA carriers (P = 0.019). Our results demonstrated that the RAGE gene variations were not associated with risk of pediatrics ALL.

Abstract
Introduction: It has been well known that the microRNA biogenesis is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases. We investigated the possible association between DROSHA rs642321 variant and risk of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Materials and Methods: We genotyped 75 children diagnosed with ALL and 115 age- and sex-matched children with no history of cancer of any type (as the control group) by the tetra amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction. Results: We found that DROSHA rs642321 C > T variant significantly decreased the risk of ALL in codominant (TT vs. CC: odds ratio [OR] = 0.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.14–0.80, P = 0.020) and dominant (TT + CT vs. CC: OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.27–0.94, P = 0.037) inheritance model tested. The rs642321 T allele was associated with protective against ALL (OR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.38–0.88, P = 0.011) in comparison with C allele. Conclusion: The study findings revealed that DROSHA rs642321 variant decreased the risk of pediatrics ALL in an Iranian population. Larger sample sizes with different ethnicities are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
Aim: 3D printing can be applied for point-of-care personalized treatment. This study aimed to determine the manufacturability and characteristics of 3D printed, drug-loaded implants for alcohol misuse. Materials & methods: Disulfiram was the drug substance used and polylactic acid (PLA) the base material. Implantable devices were designed in silico. Drug and PLA were placed into the extruder to produce a 5% blend at 1.75-mm diameter. Material characterization included differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis plus inverse GC-surface energy analyzer. Results: Implantable constructs from the PLA feedstock were acquired. The extrusion processes had a detrimental effect on the active pharmaceutical ingredient-base blend. differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis analysis indicated drug–base interactions. Thermal history was found to influence inverse GC probe interaction. Conclusion: Drug-base incompatibilities must be considered during 3D printing.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of non-protein coding RNAs that are involved in a wide variety of biological processes. There are limited data regarding the impact of lnc-LAMC2-1:1 rs2147578 as well as CASC8 rs10505477 T>C polymorphisms on cancer development. Here we examined for the first time whether rs2147578 and rs10505477 polymorphisms are associated with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in a total of 110 cases and 120 healthy controls. Genotyping was achieved by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The rs2147578 variant increased the risk of ALL in codominant (OR=4.33, 95%CI=2.00-9.37, p<0.0001, CG vs CC, and OR=5.81, 95%CI=2.30-14.69, p=0.0002, GG vs CC), dominant (OR=4.63, 95%CI=2.18-9.86, p<0.0001, CG+GG vs CC), overdominant (OR=1.74, 95%CI=1.02-2.97, p=0.0444, CG vs CC+GG) and allele (OR=1.91, 95%CI=1.32-2.77, p=0.0008, G vs C) inheritance models tested. No significant association was found between the CASC8 rs10505477 T>C variant and risk of childhood ALL. In conclusion, the present study revealed that the lnc-LAMC2-1:1 rs2147578 polymorphism may be a risk factor for developing childhood ALL. Further studies with larger sample sizes with different ethnicities are now required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Background: Thalassemia is a chronic, inherited blood disorder, which in its most severe form, causes life-threatening anemia. Thalassemia patients not only engage with difficulties of blood transfusion and iron chelating therapy but also have some social challenges and health threatening factors. There are some reports on quality of life in thalassemia patients around the world from southeast of Asia to Italy in Europe and United States. In this study, we tried to evaluate and compare Health Related Quality of life (HRQoL) and the health utility in beta thalassemia major patients receiving different types of iron chelators and living in different socio-economical situations. Subjects and Methods: EQ-5D-3L accompanied by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) questionnaire was used. The respondents were patients with beta thalassemia major that were at least 12 years old selected from 3 provinces of Sistan-Blouchestan, Fars and Mazandaran. Comorbidities including heart complication, Diabetes Mellitus and Hepatitis and also types of iron chelators (oral, injection, combination of both) were also asked. Cross tab and ANOVA analysis conducted to evaluate each dimension score and health utility differences between provinces, iron chelation methods, comorbidities, age group and gender. Results: 528 patients answered the questionnaires. The health utility of patients that received oral iron chelator were 0.87 ± .01 for oral iron chelators versus 0.81 ± .01 for injection dosage form (p<0.05). Increase in age was accompanied by decrease in health utility. Females faced more usual activity problems, anxiety and depression. Heart problems were more prevalent in males. Conclusion: This study suggests that the quality of life of beta thalassemia major patients is dependent on type of iron chelation treatment which they received, the gender they have, the comorbidities they suffer and socio-economical situations they live in.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study was aimed to examine the possible association between methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in a sample of Iranian population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 220 subjects including 100 children diagnosed with ALL and 120 healthy children participated in the case-control study. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MTHFR were determined by ARMS-PCR or PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS Our investigation revealed that rs13306561 both TC and TC + CC genotypes decreased the risk of ALL compared to TT genotype (OR=0.32, 95%CI=0.15-0.68, p=0.002 and OR=0.35, 95%CI=0.17-0.70, p=0.003, respectively). In addition, the rs13306561 C allele decreased the risk of ALL in comparison with T allele (OR=0.42, 95% CI=0.22-0.78, P=0.005). MTHFR rs1801131 (A1298C) polymorphism showed that the AC heterozygous genotype decreased the risk of ALL in comparison with AA homozygous genotype (OR=0.43, 95%CI=0.21-0.90, p=0.037). Neither the overall Chi-square comparison of cases and control subjects (𝜒2=5.54, p=0.063) nor the logistic regression analysis showed significant association between C677T polymorphism and ALL (OR=1.25, 95% CI=0.69-2.23, p=0.552; CT vs. CC). CONCLUSION The current investigation findings showed that MTHFR rs1801131 and rs13306561 polymorphisms decreased the risk of ALL in the population which has been studied. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different ethnicities are required to validate our findings.
