Abstract
BACKGROUND The cholinergic hypothesis posits a robust correlation between the onset of Alzheimer's disease and a pronounced deficit in acetylcholine, a pivotal neurotransmitter crucial for the central cholinergic nervous system's function, pivotal for memory and learning. Diterpene alkaloids exhibit intricate and distinctive chemical structures that facilitate their passage through the blood-brain barrier. Moreover, their potent pharmacological attributes render them promising candidates for addressing central nervous system disorders. OBJECTIVES This investigation aims to scrutinize the alkaloidal composition of Delphinium cyphoplectrum (Ranunculaceae) roots, further exploring their anticholinesterase inhibitory activity and mode of inhibition. METHOD Innovative chromatography techniques were repetitively employed to purify the alkaloids. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition assays were conducted using Ellman's tests. The mode of inhibition was meticulously characterized through Michaelis-Menten, and Lineweaver-Burk plots. Conducting molecular docking studies, we employed the AUTO DOCK 4.2 software package. RESULTS Eight alkaloids were identified including five C19-diterpene alkaloids (6,14,16,18-tetramethoxy-1,7,8-trihydroxy-4-methylaconitane (1), 6,16,18-trimethoxy-1,7,8,14-tetrahydroxy-4-methylaconitane (2), 6,8,16,18-tetramethoxy-1,7,14-trihydroxy-4-methylaconitane (3), 6,14,16-trimethoxy-1,7,8,18-tetrahydroxy-4-methylaconitane (4), and 14-O-acetyl-8,16-dimethoxy-1,6,7,18-tetrahydroxy-4-methylaconitane (5)), an epoxy C18-diterpene alkaloid (6,8,16-trimethoxy-1,7,14-trihydroxy-3,4-epoxyaconitane (6)), a known (pyrrolidin-2-one (7) and an undescribed amide alkaloid (1-(2'-hydroxylethylamine)-3,5,5,-trimethyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one (8). All diterpene alkaloids underwent assessment for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition assay and displayed noteworthy AChE activity, surpassing that of the reference drug (with IC50 values of 13.7, 21.8, 23.4, 28.2, 40.4, and 23.9 for compounds 1-6, respectively, in comparison to 98.4 for Rivastigmine). Analysis of Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver-Burk plots represents an uncompetitive mode of inhibition for compound 1 on AChE. Notably, computational docking simulations indicated that all diterpene alkaloids were accommodated within the same enzymatic cleft as the reference ligand, and displaying superior free binding energy values (from - 10.32 to -8.59 Kcal.mol-1) in contrast to Rivastigmine (-6.31 Kcal.mol-1). CONCLUSION The phytochemical analysis conducted on the roots of Delphinium cyphoplectrum yielded the identification of eight alkaloidal compounds including one C18-diterpene, five C19-diterpene, one pyrrolidine and one amide alkaloids. AChE inhibition assay and molecular simulations unveiled remarkable significant potency attributed to the C19-diterpene alkaloids by the order of 1 > 2 > 3,6 > 4 > 5. Presence of hydroxyl group on C-1, C-7, C-8, C-14, and C-18 increased the effect. The best in vitro activity was recorded for compound 1 able to bind to Asp72 in the narrow region of PAS, while interacting by pi-sigma with Phe330 at the hydrophobic region of the gorge involving the acyl and choline binding site. This observation underscores the substantial promise of this category of natural products in the realm of drug discovery for Alzheimer's Disease, offering a compelling avenue for further research and therapeutic development.

Abstract
The process of developing novel compounds/drugs is arduous, time-intensive, and financially burdensome, characterized by a notably low success rate and relatively high attrition rates. To alleviate these challenges, compound/drug repositioning strategies are employed to predict potential therapeutic effects for DrugBank-approved compounds across various diseases. In this study, we devised a computational and enzyme inhibitory mechanistic approach to identify promising compounds from the pool of DrugBank-approved substances targeting Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Molecular docking analyses were employed to validate the binding interaction patterns and conformations of the screened compounds within the active site of α-glucosidase. Notably, Asp352 and Glu277 participated in interactions within the α-glucosidase-ligand complexes, mediated by conventional hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, respectively. The stability of the docked complexes (α-glucosidase-compounds) was scrutinized through Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Subsequent in vitro analyses assessed the therapeutic potential of the repositioned compounds against α-glucosidase. Kinetic studies revealed that "Forodesine" exhibited a lower IC50 (0.24 ± 0.04 mM) compared to the control, and its inhibitory pattern corresponds to that of competitive inhibitors. In-depth in silico secondary structure content analysis detailed the interactions between Forodesine and α-glucosidase, unveiling significant alterations in enzyme conformation upon binding, impacting its catalytic activity. Overall, our findings underscore the potential of Forodesine as a promising candidate for DM treatment through α-glucosidase inhibition. Further validation through in vitro and in vivo studies is imperative to confirm the therapeutic benefits of Forodesine in conformational diseases such as DM.

Abstract
Nowadays, one of the methods to prevent the progress of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is to prescribe compounds that inhibit the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. Researchers are actively pursuing compounds, particularly of natural origin, that exhibit enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects. The inhibition of AChE and BChE using natural flavonoids represents a promising avenue for regulating AD. This study aims to identify alternative flavonoids capable of modulating AD by down-regulating AChE and BChE activity through a molecular docking approach. Molecular docking analysis identified Ginkgetin and Kolaflavanone as potent inhibitors of AChE and BChE, respectively, among the selected flavonoids. Asn87 and Ala127 involved in the interactions of AChE-Ginkgetin complex through conventional hydrogen bonds. While in the BChE-Kolaflavanone complex, Asn83, Ser79, Gln 47, and Ser287 are involved. In vitro analysis further corroborated the inhibitory potential, with Ginkgetin exhibiting an IC50 of 3.2 mM against AChE, and Kolaflavanone displaying an IC50 of 3.6 mM against BChE. These findings underscore the potential of Ginkgetin and Kolaflavanone as candidate inhibitors for the treatment of AD through the inhibition of AChE and BChE enzymes. Nevertheless, additional in vitro and in vivo studies are imperative to validate the efficacy of these compounds.

Abstract
Plastic wastes accumulated due to food packaging pose environmental threats. This study proposes biopolymeric films containing lignins extracted from potato crop residues (PCR) through organosolv treatment as a green alternative to non-degradable food packaging. The isolation process yielded 43.9 wt% lignins with a recovery rate of 73.5 wt% achieved under optimum conditions at 180 °C with 50 % v/v ethanol. The extracted lignins were then incorporated into a starch matrix to create biocomposite films. ATR-FTIR analysis confirmed interactions between the starch matrix and extracted lignins, and XRD analysis showed the amorphous structure of lignins, reducing film crystallinity. The addition of 1 wt% of extracted lignins resulted in a 87 % reduction in oxygen permeability, a 25 % increase in the thermal stability of the film, and a 78 % enhancement in antioxidant. Furthermore, introducing 3 wt% lignins led to the lowest water vapor transmission rate, measuring 9.3 × 10-7 kg/s·m2. Morphological studies of the films demonstrated a homogeneous and continuous structure on both the surface and cross-sectional areas when the lignins content was below 7 wt%. These findings highlight the potential of using organosolv lignins derived from potato crop residues as a promising additive for developing eco-friendly films designed for sustainable food packaging.

Abstract
1. The effects of limestone particle size on growth performance, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) traits, ileal morphology, duodenal gene expression of calbindin, apparent ileal digestibility coefficients (AIDC) of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) and tibia characteristics in broilers and pullets were assessed in broilers and pullets. These birds have different growth rates and likely different responses to parameters, such as particle size.2. A total of 240 chicks aged one day, 120 Ross 308 female broilers, and 120 Hy-Line pullets were allocated randomly into four treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with two bird types (broilers vs. pullets) and two limestone particle sizes (<0.5 mm versus 1-2 mm) to give six replicates containing 10 chicks in each from 1 to 21 d of age.3. Feed intake and weight gain were greater (P < 0.001) and feed per gain (FCR) was better (P < 0.001) in broilers compared to pullets from 1 to 21 d of age. Greater villus width (P < 0.01), villus height (P < 0.001) and crypt depth (P < 0.01) were seen for broilers compared to pullets.4. Pullets fed coarse Ca particles had higher calbindin gene expression at 21 d of age (P = 0.05). Both AIDC of Ca and P were higher (P < 0.001) in broilers compared to pullets. The AIDC of Ca from 0.463 to 0.516 was increased (P < 0.05) by feeding coarse limestone particles. A significant interaction was found between bird type and limestone particle size (P < 0.01), where pullets fed coarse Ca particles had higher bone P concentration in tibia than broilers.5. Broilers had better ileum absorptive capacity and growth performance compared to pullets. The AIDC of Ca and P was higher in broilers than in pullets. Increased limestone particle size elevated villus height, AIDC of Ca and concentration of P in the tibia.

Abstract
Laying hen manure (LHM) is a major source of pollution due to its high nitrogen (N) and moisture content (MC). Therefore, reducing the MC of LHM is necessary to retain its recyclable value and reduce environmental pollution. One effective way is by incorporating sodium bentonite (SB) and wheat straw (WS) as amendments in the LHM. This work aimed to optimize the drying conditions of LHM and investigate the effect of SB and WS utilization on the dehydration rate, reduction of crude protein (CP), and reduction of ammonium-N (N [Formula: see text] -N). The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize these processes. For this purpose, two sets of experiments (drying of LHM with and without SB and Ws) were designed. The independent parameters were air temperature (70, 80, and 90 °C), air velocity (1, 1.5, and 2 m s-1), layer thickness (5, 10, and 15 mm), SB (2%, 4%, and 6%), and WS (3%, 7.5%, and 12%). The results indicated that temperature and WS had the most significant influence on all responses. To maximize the dehydration rate and minimize the reduction of CP and N [Formula: see text] -N, the optimal conditions were a temperature of 78 °C, air velocity of 1 m s-1, and layer thickness of 5 mm in the first set of experiments, and a temperature of 80 °C, air velocity of 1.5 m s-1, layer thickness of 11 mm, 6% SB, and 12% WS in the second set of experiments. Under the optimum conditions, LHM treated with 6% SB and 12% WS retained 10% more CP and 58% more N [Formula: see text] -N than untreated LHM. Therefore, according to the obtained results, SB and WS are recommended as additives to reduce the CP and N [Formula: see text] -N losses of LHM during the drying process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND From asymptomatic to acute and life-threatening pulmonary infection, the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are highly variable. Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-17A are key drivers of hyper inflammation status in COVID-19, and their elevated levels are hallmarks of the infection progression. To explore whether prognosis and susceptibility to COVID-19 are linked to IL-6 rs1800795 and IL-17A rs2275913, these single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assessed in a sample of Iranian COVID-19 patients. METHODS This study enrolled two hundred and eighty COVID-19 patients (140 non-severe and 140 severe). Genotyping for IL-6 rs1800795 and IL-17A rs2275913 was performed using tetra primer-amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (tetra-ARMS-PCR). IL-6 and IL-17A circulating levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Also, mortality predictors of COVID-19 were investigated. RESULTS The rs1800795 GG genotype (78/140 (55.7 %)) and G allele (205/280 (73.2 %)) were significantly associated with a positive risk of COVID-19 severe infection (OR = 2.19, 95 %CI: 1.35-3.54, P =.006 and OR = 1.79, 95 %CI: 1.25-2.56, P <.001, respectively). Also, rs1800795 GG genotype was significantly linked to disease mortality (OR = 1.95, 95 %CI: 1.06-3.61, P =.04). The rs2275913 GA genotype was protective against severe COVID-19 (OR = 0.5, 95 %CI: 0.31--0.80, P =.012). However, the present study did not reveal any significant link between rs2275913 genotypes with disease mortality. INR ≥ 1.2 (OR = 2.19, 95 %CI: 1.61-3.78, P =.007), D-dimer ≥ 565.5 ng/mL (OR = 3.12, 95 %CI: 1.27-5.68, P =.019), respiratory rate ≥ 29 (OR = 1.19, 95 %CI: 1.12-1.28, P =.001), IL-6 serum concentration ≥ 28.5 pg/mL (OR = 1.97, 95 %CI: 1.942-2.06, P =.013), and IL-6 rs1800795 GG genotype (OR = 1.95, 95 %CI: 1.06-3.61, P =.04) were predictive of COVID-19 mortality. CONCLUSION The rs1800795 GG genotype and G allele were associated with disease severity, and INR, D-dimer, respiratory rate, IL-6 serum concentration, and IL-6 rs1800795 GG genotype were predictive of COVID-19 mortality.

Abstract
Biflavonoids (BFs) are a group of polyphenols that have a unique biochemical structure. One of the key biomedical mechanisms that BFs can have high potential in managing Diabetes mellitus (DM) is α-glucosidase inhibition. Normally, elevated blood glucose levels are caused by high absorption of glucose in the epithelium of the small intestine. Since α-glucosidase helps increase the absorption of glucose in the small intestine in the final stage of glycan catabolism, inhibition of this essential biochemical process in diabetic patients can be considered a suitable approach in the treatment of this disease. The interaction between the BFs and α-glucosidase are still not clear, and need to be deeply investigated. Herein, the aim is to identify BFs with strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Using docking-based virtual screening approach, the potential binding affinity of 18 selected BFs to α-glucosidase was evaluated. The dynamic activity and stability of α-glucosidase-BFs complexes were then measured by molecular dynamics simulation (MDs). "Strychnobiflavone" showed the best score in α-glucosidase inhibition. Arg315 and Phe303 involved in the interactions of α-glucosidase-strychnobiflavone complex through cation-π and π-π stacking, respectively. Based on in vitro kinetic studies, it was determined that the type of inhibition of "strychnobiflavone" corresponds to the pattern of mixed inhibitors. Furthermore, details of the interactions between strychnobiflavone and α-glucosidase were performed by in silico secondary structure content analysis. The findings showed when "strychnobifone" binds to the enzyme, significant alterations occur in the enzyme conformation affecting its catalytic activity. In general, the findings highlighted the potential of "strychnobiflavone" as a promising candidate for the treatment of diabetes mellitus through α-glucosidase inhibition. Further in vitro and in vivo studies have to confirm the therapeutic benefits of "strychnobiflavone" in conformational diseases such as diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
A series of carvacrol-based thiosemicarbazide (3a-e) and 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine (4a-e) were designed and synthesized for the first time. The structures were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and high resolution mass spectroscopy techniques. All compounds were examined for some metabolic enzyme activities. Results indicated that all the synthetic molecules exhibited powerful inhibitory actions against human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCAI and II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes compared to the standard molecules. Ki values of five novel thiosemicarbazides and five new 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine derivatives (3a-e and 4a-e) for hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BChE enzymes were obtained in the ranges 0.73-21.60, 0.42-15.08 µM, 3.48-81.48, 92.61-211.40 nM, respectively. After the experimental undertaking, an extensive molecular docking analysis was conducted to scrutinize the intricate details of interactions between the ligand and the enzyme in question. The principal focus of this investigation was to appraise the potency and efficacy of the most active compound. In this context, the calculated docking scores were noted to be remarkably low, with values of -8.65, -7.97, -8.92, and -8.32 kcal/mol being recorded for hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BChE, respectively. These observations suggest a high affinity and specificity of the studied compounds toward the enzymes, as mentioned earlier, which may pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating the activity of these enzymes.

Abstract
Two novel quinoline-anthracene conjugates comprising styrylquinoline and anthracene moieties linked by triazole bridges were designed and synthesized in good yields. These molecules were determined for some metabolic enzymes activities. Results indicated that the synthetic molecules exhibited powerful inhibitory actions against all aims as compared to the control molecules. Ki values of novel compound QA-1 for hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and α-glycosidase enzymes were obtained of 20.18 ± 2.46 µM, 14.63 ± 1.14 µM, 71.48 ± 7.76 nM, 401.35 ± 36.84 nM, respectively. Both compounds showed promising candidate complexes for drug development with considerable in vitro different enzymes inhibitory activities. The binding conformations patterns and interaction of QA-1 and QA-2 compounds with α-glucosidase, acetycholinesterase, carbonic anhydrase-I and carbonic anhydrase-II enzymes were investigated through molecular docking profiles. The docking outputs are consistent with the Ki and IC50 values of novel compounds. Three dimensional geometries and electronic properties of the title compounds were obtained by the applicational computational approach at B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level of theory.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Introduction Lung carcinoma is characterized by uncontrollable division of respiratory system cells with detrimental and lethal consequences on human health. Critical roles of microRNAs (miR) are scientifically approved in biological and pathological pathways, such as the role of miR-499 (rs3746444) in lung carcinomas. Thus, in this case-control investigation, we aimed to assess the probable relationship between miR-499C/T variant and the occurrence of lung carcinoma in Iranian population for the first time. Methods Genotype of miR-499 polymorphism was described by the Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay in patients and healthy individuals. Following definite diagnosis of lung carcinoma, the blood samples were collected, and the DNA extraction was performed by Salting-Out method. Finally, data were analysed by SPSS (v. 20) and the significant level was considered p-value<0.05. Results Statistically, the frequency of combined genotypes of CC+CT were 83.33% and 35% and TT+CT were 100% and 92% in case and control individuals, respectively. Also, individuals with genotypes of TC (OR: 3.08, CI95%: 3.03-3.17, p<0.0001), TC+CC (OR: 0.10, CI95%: 0.05-0.23, p<0.0001), CC (OR: 0, CI95%: 0.00-0.60, p=0.0214), and TC (OR: 0.07, CI95%: 0.030.15, p<0.0001) represented statistically significant (p<0.05) differences lung carcinoma than those with TT, TT, TT+TC, and TT+CC genotypes, respectively. The frequency of miR-499C (78.5%) and miR-499T (21.5%) alleles were also statistically significantly (p<0.05) difference associated with lung carcinoma in patients than controls. Conclusion In this study, a possible relationship among miR-499C/T polymorphism and lung carcinoma was detected in Iranian population. Since this study was conducted for the first time, thus other supplementary assessments are needed for definite conclusion.

Abstract
This work contains synthesis, characterization, crystal structure, and biological activity of a new series of the PEPPSI type Pd(II)NHC complexes [(NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py)]. NMR, FTIR, and elemental analysis techniques were used to characterize all (NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py) complexes. Also, molecular and crystal structures of complex 1c were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Regarding the X-ray studies, the palladium(II) atom has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. Additionally, the enzyme inhibitory effect of new (NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py) complexes (1a-1g) was studied. They exhibited highly potent inhibition effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) (Ki values are in the range of 0.08 ± 0.01 to 0.65 ± 0.06 µM, 10.43 ± 0.98 to 22.48 ± 2.01 µM, 6.58 ± 0.30 to 10.88 ± 1.01 µM and 6.34 ± 0.37 to 9.02 ± 0.72 µM for AChE, BChE, hCA I, and hCA II, respectively). Based on the molecular docking, among the seven synthesized complexes, 1c, 1b, 1e, and 1a significantly inhibited AChE, BChE, hCA I, and hCA II enzymes, respectively. The findings highpoint that (NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py) complexes can be considered as possible inhibitors via metabolic enzyme inhibition.

Abstract
Membrane nanofiltration (NF) process was employed to remove nitrate from synthetic and natural waters. The optimum technical and economic ranges of governing parameters for the water treatment process were determined using central composite design method and Verbernen's economic model. The results of nitrate removal from synthesized water showed the minimum and maximum rates of permeation were 16.5 and 84.3 L/m2h (LMH), respectively. The minimum and maximum nitrate rejection were 44.1% and 78.4%, respectively. Increasing pH had no significant effect on permeation flux but increased the nitrate removal rate. Additionally, as pressure was increased, the nitrate rejection and permeation flux both increased; but, as temperature was increased, the permeation flux increased while the nitrate removal decreased. In the case of natural water, the minimum and the maximum flow rate were 7.7 and 68.1 LMH. Furthermore, the minimum and maximum rejection rates of nitrate were 22.1% and 74.8%. The effects of variables on the permeation flux and nitrate removal for natural water were similar to those for synthetic water. However, by increasing pH, the amount of water passing through the membrane decreased. In all experiments, natural water had less permeation flux and less nitrate rejection than synthesized water. The presence of other anions and cations in the natural water decreases the amount of the nitrate removed. The total investment cost reduced as the pressure increased. The cost per m3 of treated water decreased from 3 to 7 bars, then increased as the pressure increased.

Abstract
Inhibition of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is considered a prospective method for the prevention of type II diabetes. As two flavonoids obtained from fruits, swertisin (SW) and apigenin (AP) have similar structures and display various pharmacological properties. To examine the effects of flavonoid structure on inhibition of AGEs adducts and carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes activity, molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations (MDs) were used. The molecular docking method was performed by the Autodock program, and the ligand that showed the most negative binding energy was selected for further investigation. SW showed the potential ability to inhibit the AGEs formation and carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes activity. The stability of the receptor/SW complex was evaluated by MDs. Based on the findings of the present study, it was found that SW has the potential to reduce glycation and delay the activity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes.

Abstract
AIMS The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management in clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutively hospitalised adult NSTEMI patients (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 and 6 March 2021, and individual patient data prospectively collected at 287 centres in 59 participating countries during a two-week enrolment period per centre. The registry collected data relating to baseline characteristics, major outcomes (in-hospital death, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bleeding, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and 30-day mortality) and guideline-recommended NSTEMI care interventions: electrocardiogram pre- or in-hospital, pre-hospitalization receipt of aspirin, echocardiography, coronary angiography, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, smoking cessation advice, dietary advice, and prescription on discharge of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blocker, and statin. CONCLUSION The EORP NSTEMI Registry is an international, prospective registry of care and outcomes of patients treated for NSTEMI, which will provide unique insights into the contemporary management of hospitalised NSTEMI patients, compliance with ESC 2015 NSTEMI Guidelines, and identify potential barriers to optimal management of this common clinical presentation associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase is among the intestinal epithelial enzymes that produce absorbable glucose in the final stage of glycan catabolism. It leads to an increase in blood glucose levels as a result of high glucose uptake in diabetic patients. However, inhibition of this essential biochemical process can be a useful therapeutic approach to diabetes mellitus (DM). Eriocitrin (ER) is an abundant "flavanone glycoside" in citrus fruits with rich antioxidant properties whose effects on α-Glu inhibition in the small intestine remain to be determined. Herein, pH-sensitive microgels (MGs) were designed based on cross-linked methacrylate with acrylamide (AM) and acrylic acid (AAc) (molar ratio 70 : 30 of AAc : AM) as a controlled release system for sustained delivery of ER into the small intestine. The presence of amide and acrylate in MGs and the mechanical resistance were determined using FT-IR spectroscopy, rheology, and viscoelastometry. In vitro experiments showed that MGs could protect ER against diffusion in the gastric location and adjust its release in the intestinal milieu. The intestinal α-Glu activity was inhibited by ER (IC50 value of 12.50 ± 0.73 μM) in an uncompetitive dose-dependent manner. The presence of ER altered the structure of α-Glu and reduced the hydrophobic pockets of the enzyme. Molecular docking analysis along with molecular dynamics simulation displayed that ER-α-Glu formation is directed by hydrogen binding with Asp69, Asp215, Glu411, Asp307, and Tyr347 residues. Moreover, in vivo assessment showed that rat blood glucose concentration decreased after ER administration compared with the control group. The results highlight that ER-loaded-MGs can be considered as a useful releasing strategy in treating DM via α-Glu inhibition.

Abstract
Flavonoid glycosides (FGs) appear to be good candidates for controlling blood glucose levels, so regular consumption of vegetables/fruits rich in FGs may prevent the consequences of type 2 diabetes (DM). Inhibition of digestive enzymes using natural FGs is a suitable dietary tool to regulate the hydrolysis of polysaccharides and overcome hyperglycemia. The aim of the current research is to find FGs that can effectively inhibit the digestive enzymes α-glucosidase (α-Gl) and α-amylase (α-Am). Accordingly, twenty-three FGs were selected and filtered through docking-based virtual screening. Based on the molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, among the 23 selected FGs, nicotiflorin and swertisin significantly inhibited α-Gl and α-Am, respectively. In vitro analysis revealed the inhibitory capacity of nicotiflorin on α-Gl was equal to IC50 at 0.148 mg/ml and the inhibitory activity of swertisin on α-Am was equal to IC50 at 1.894 mg/ml. It was found that nicotiflorin and swertisin act much like as a competitive inhibitor on α-Gl and α-Am, respectively. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity of both enzymes decreased after interaction with two FGs. FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements suggested that the interactions could alter the conformation and microenvironment of the enzymes. Moreover, in vivo evaluation showed that the administration of nicotiflorin and swertisin can alleviate the blood glucose level of rats compared to the starch group (p < 0.05). The findings highlight that nicotiflorin and swertisin can be considered as possible inhibitors in treating diabetes mellitus via digestive enzymes inhibition.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the suitable method for isolating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from a small volume of Uterine Fluid Lavage (UFL)?
Summary answer
It seems that the qEV column can help in faster, precise, and gentle isolation of EVs from small amounts of UFL.
What is known already
Several studies have discovered that existing EVs in the UFL, which are informative carriers, reflect cytological and molecular conditions of the uterine environment. The relative amounts of the EV components are different in various physiological situations. So, they are the ideal source for precise molecular analysis of the uterine condition to identify the Window of Implantation (WOI) for appropriate embryo transfer (ET) timing. There is limited information describing the most efficient method for EV isolation from a low-volume sample of biological fluids. In particular, EV separation from some biological fluids such as UFL is more complicated because of the viscosity.
Study design, size, duration
The study was conducted in two steps; first, the pre-implantation UFL sampling effect was studied on the implantation and clinical pregnancy rates. UFLs were obtained from 20 IVF Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) patients as the case group. The control group consisted of 20 FET patients without lavage. In the second step, UFLs (n = 30) were collected and pooled. The EVs were extracted by ultracentrifugation (UC), Sucrose cushion (Suc), and Size-exclusion chromatography (by the qEV column) methods.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
First, UFL was collected two days before frozen blastocyst ET from the case group using an intrauterine insemination catheter attached to a syringe. Then, patients were compared with control at the seventh week. Second, EVs were extracted from pooled UFL samples and characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Western Blot (WB). Albumin contamination was detected by SDS-PAGE. Total RNA was extracted, and Real-time PCR was performed for six housekeeping genes.
Main results and the role of chance
A comparison between case and control groups indicated no significant difference for implantation and clinical pregnancy rates. Moreover, we have confirmed the presence of EVs in UFL that were successfully isolated, by the UC, Suc, the qEV methods. The SEM images showed that the collected vesicles were morphologically spherical. The DLS analysis revealed that the intensity peak of isolated particles with the UC and Suc methods were 281 nm and 216 nm, respectively. Extracted EVs using the qEV technique were smaller and homogenized in size, with an intensity peak of 67.7 nm. SDS-PAGE of EVs showed a weaker albumin band in the qEV column (with a 100 kDa filter) method than the UC, Suc, and qEV column (with a 30 kDa filter) methods. Although, their quantification showed no significant differences. WB analysis indicated common EV markers (D81, CD9, CD63, and TSG101) showed better expression using the qEV extraction technique. But CD9 and TSG101 had lower expression levels in EVs isolated using Suc and UC, respectively. Calnexin was not detected in the isolated EVs. The GAPDH, 18SrRNA, ACTIN, GUSB, HMBS, and YWHAZ genes were detected by real-time PCR in all three EV extraction methods. The 18SrRNA gene showed better CT values.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Uterine fluid samples collection from qualified study groups and the patient’s follow-up for ensuring successful implantation and clinical pregnancy are time-consuming. The low volume of uterine fluid lavage sample and consequently the low number of extracellular vesicles inside it was also the limitation of this study.
Wider implications of the findings
Endometrial receptivity assay is difficult to study non-invasively. Herein, endometrial secretome EVs as a minimally invasive source for uterine environment molecular assessment is presented. High-throughput analysis of EV components can offer biomarkers for individual determination of ET timing, providing an additional method to use with transvaginal-ultrasonography for assessing endometrial receptivity.

Abstract
BackgroundMovement of the spine is restricted in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) [1]. Spine function is usually assessed by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), which is based on a limited set of defined motions that are measured semiquantitatively in the spatial dimension but not in the temporal dimension. Sensor-based measurement of spine function in axSpA patients is in its infancy but may provide a deeper and more detailed understanding of the impact of axSpA on the impairment of spine function [2,3]. In theory, unbiased full body assessment of spine motion may open a new dimension in function analysis in axSpA.ObjectivesTo test if a of a full-body based haptic capturing of spine motion is technically feasible and can pick up the measurements of BASMI items 1-5. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate whether such measurements are accurate and reproducible comparing to BASMI scores done by rheumatologists. Lastly, we sought to measure velocity of spine movements to allow spatiotemporal analysis of motion.MethodsFor full-body haptic assessment of spine motion a full-body haptic suit (Teslasuit; VR Electronics Ltd, London) was used that consists of a smart textile two-piece bodysuit that not only captures range and speed of motion but also provides biometric and haptic feedback. This device is currently tested in clinical trials (https://teslasuit.io/rehabilitation/) but has not been tested in rheumatic diseases such as axSpA [4]. Since there is no pre-defined technical solution for measuring BASMI, we used the integrated inertial measurement units (IMUs) of the suit (Figure 1a). The suit is recording the position and rotations of its IMUs and is transforming the raw data to position coordinates and joint angle of the bones. We implemented an algorithm that is accessing the sensor data and is calculating the BASMI measurements as well as velocity. Assessment were done in healthy individuals. BASMI was obtained 3 times by teslasuit followed by standard BASMI measurement by 2 independent rheumatologists. In addition, rotational movements with their maximum torso speed to evaluate angular velocity were performed (Figure 1b). Measurements were compared using absolute values and relative standard deviation (which is the standard deviation normalized by the mean).ResultsFive healthy individuals (all males, age: 27.6 ± 1.8 years, height: 178 ± 5 cm; weight 70.0 ± 8.0 kg) were assessed. Teslasuit measurements were well tolerated. Technically, we were able to calculate BASMI item 3 and 5, finger-to-floor distance and the velocity of the spine movement using the position data of hand, talus and upper back sensors (Figure 1a, b). Due to absence of sensors at the head and the required back areas, BASMI 1, 2, 4 could only partially be captured and require further programming, which is currently performed. Only marginal differences were detected regarding the relative standard deviations of measurements between teslasuit and rheumatologists (BASMI 3: rheumatologists 8,5%: suit 10%; BASMI 5: rheumatologists 5,4%: suit 4,9%) (Figure 1c). The speed of spinal motion could be measured with an average angular velocity of 172.2 degrees/sec over the entire rotation motion and an average maximum angular velocity of 417.2 degrees/sec.ConclusionThis study shows that full-body haptic-suits can capture spinal motion including parts of the BASMI score. In addition, they allow to measure the speed of spinal movement, which might be an important and so far unrecognized factor to test the impact of axSpA on spinal function. Based on these results, full-body haptic-suits will be tested in axSpA patients in the future. Furthermore, technical solutions are currently developed to implement the remaining BASMI scores into the suit as well as connections from the suit to virtual reality devices for patients and doctors.References[1]Sieper, J. and D.

Abstract
The goal of using radiopharmaceuticals for therapeutic purposes is twofold: first, the most damage to cancer cells and, second, the most negligible dose transfers to healthy tissues. As 177Lu has the potential to cure a wide range of malignancies due to its varied range of beta energies, 177Lu-BBN-GABA-DOTA has been developed for therapeutic applications. In addition, 177Lu-BBN-GABA-DOTA can be over-expressed on gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptors of the prostate, breast, small cell lung cancer, gastric, and colon tumors. The purpose of this study was to calculate the amount of dose absorption in human body organs using medical internal radiation dose (MIRD) and GATE code methods, after animal injection. In this study, the amount of absorbed dose in different organs (spleen, kidney, Lung, Pancreas, Heart, Adrenal, Intestine, Stomach, and Liver) were calculated for 1-MBq accumulation of 177Lu-BBN-GABA-DOTA in source organs (spleen, kidney, Lung, Pancreas, Heart, Adrenal, Intestine, Stomach, and Liver) using Monte Carlo Simulation (GATE code) with Zubal phantom. Moreover, compared with MIRD method, the results of the simulation showed considerable consistency. It was estimated that a 1-MBq administration of 177Lu-BBN-GABA-DOTA to the human body would result in an absorbed dose of 1.07E-02 mGy and 4.97E-02 (MIRD method) and 1.26E-02 mGy and 5.19E-02 (Gate code) in the Pancreas and adrenal 120 h after injection, respectively. The highest and lowest percentage differences between MIRD and Gate results are related to the Pancreas and spleen, respectively. Finally, the results showed that there is a good agreement between MIRD method and Gate code simulation for absorbed dose estimation.

Abstract
The application of gas-liquid membrane contactors for ethane-ethylene separation seems to offer a good alternative to conventional energy-intensive processes. This work aims to develop new hydrophobic composite membranes with active ethylene carriers and to demonstrate their potential for ethylene/ethane separation in gas-liquid membrane contactors. For the first time, hybrid membrane materials based on polyoctylmethylsiloxane (POMS) and silver tetrafluoroborate, with a Si:Ag ratio of 10:0.11 and 10:2.2, have been obtained. This technique allowed us to obtain POMS-based membranes with silver nanoparticles (8 nm), which are dispersed in the polymer matrix. The dispersion of silver in the POMS matrix is confirmed by the data IR-spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence analyses. These membranes combine the hydrophobicity of POMS and the selectivity of silver ions toward ethylene. It was shown that ethylene sorption at 600 mbar rises from 0.89 cm3(STP)/g to 3.212 cm3(STP)/g with an increase of Ag content in POMS from 0 to 9 wt%. Moreover, the membrane acquires an increased sorption affinity for ethylene. The ethylene/ethane sorption selectivity of POMS is 0.64; for the membrane with 9 wt% silver nanoparticles, the ethylene/ethane sorption selectivity was 2.46. Based on the hybrid material, POMS-Ag, composite membranes were developed on a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) porous support, with a selective layer thickness of 5–10 µm. The transport properties of the membranes were studied by separating a binary mixture of ethylene/ethane at 20/80% vol. It has been shown that the addition of silver nanoparticles to the POMS matrix leads to a decrease in the ethylene permeability, but ethylene/ethane selectivity increases from 0.9 (POMS) to 1.3 (9 wt% Ag). It was noted that when the POMS-Ag membrane is exposed to the gas mixture flow for 3 h, the selectivity increases to 1.3 (0.5 wt% Ag) and 2.3 (9 wt% Ag) due to an increase in ethylene permeability. Testing of the obtained membranes in a gas-liquid contactor showed that the introduction of silver into the POMS matrix makes it possible to intensify the process of ethylene mass transfer by more than 1.5 times.

It is often caused by the production of β-lactamases, particularly extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) or AmpC enzymes. This study was undertaken to characterize ESBL and AmpC producers among Escherichia coli isolates from urine samples. During six months, 263 E. coli isolates were detected by standard biochemical tests. The isolates were screened for ESBL production by the double-disk synergy test using Ceftazidime (30 μg) and Cefotaxime (30 μg) disks and confirmed by combined disk diffusion test using Clavulanic acid. AmpC production was confirmed by an AmpC disk test based on filter paper disks impregnated with EDTA. The presence of genes encoding TEM, SHV, CTX-M, CIT, FOX, MOX, ACC, and EBC were detected by PCR. 263 E. coli isolates were selected for the combined disk (Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime, and Clavulanic acid) assay in the disk agar diffusion test. In the combined disk assay, among 263 isolates, 121 (46%) isolates were detected as ESBLs, and none of the isolates were AmpC producers. PCR performed on all ESBL producers and blaSHV, blaTEM, and blaCTX-M were detected in 42 (34.7%), 44 (36.4%), and 47 (38.8%) cases, respectively. Also, from 48 Isolates with zone diameters of less than or equal to 18 mm to Cefoxitin, 7 (14.6%), 4 (8.3%), and 9 (18.8%) cases contained MOX, EBC, and CIT genes, respectively. DHA, FOX, and ACC genes were not detected in any sample. Since pathogens evolve in the hospital setting, updating local data, such as this research, offers scientific evidence to improve the outcome of nosocomial infections.

Abstract
Inflammation is a natural protective response toward various simulators, including tissue damage or pathogens. The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a very important protein in triggering pain and inflammation. Previous studies have claimed that Allium sativum offers a wide range of anti-inflammatory therapeutics for human consumption. Drug discovery is a complicated process, though in silico methods can make this procedure simpler and more cost-effective. At the current study, we performed the virtual screening of eight Allium sativum-derived compounds via molecular docking with COX-2 enzyme and confirmed the binding energy by docking score estimate followed by ADMET and drug-likeness investigation. The resulting highest-docking scored compound was exposed to molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) for evaluating stability of the docked enzyme-ligand complex and to gauge the oscillation and conformational alterations for the time of enzyme-ligand interaction. The factors of RMSD, RMSF, hydrogen bond interactions, and Rg after 100 ns of MDS proved the stability of alliin in the active site of COX-2 in comparison with celecoxib (CEL) as the control. Moreover, we investigated the binding affinity analysis of all compounds via MM/PBSA method. The results from this study suggest that alliin (a sulfuric compound) exhibits a higher binding affinity for the COX-2 enzyme compared to the other compounds and CEL. Alliin showed to be a possible anti-inflammatory therapeutic candidate for managing the inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to summarise the effect of community-based intervention programmes on the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by reducing cardiometabolic risk factors. STUDY DESIGN This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS A systematic search in the PubMed database and screening of reference lists aimed to identify community-based CVD prevention programmes from inception up to April 2020. The mean differences and standard deviations for CVD risk factors, including blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose and body weight indices, were extracted and pooled using a random effects model. RESULTS Screening of 11,889 titles/abstracts and full texts resulted in 48 studies being included in this review. The meta-analysis showed that community-based programmes have led to considerable decreases in systolic blood pressure (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -2.90 mm Hg, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: -3.63, -2.16), diastolic blood pressure (WMD = -2.21 mm Hg, 95% CI: -3.12, -1.29), serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; WMD = -8.88 mg/dl, 95% CI: -12.84, -4.92), triglycerides (WMD = -8.40 mg/dl, 95% CI: -12.10, -4.70), total cholesterol (WMD = -2.96 mg/dl, 95% CI: -3.10, -2.81) and fasting blood glucose (WMD = -2.06 mg/dl, 95% CI: -3.02, -1.10). A moderate decrease in body weight was also found with community-based CVD prevention programmes. However, community-based CVD prevention programmes were not associated with any significant changes in serum levels of high-density lipoprotein. CONCLUSIONS The present study indicates that community-based strategies have successfully led to an improvement in CVD risk factors, particularly by reducing blood pressure, serum levels of LDL-C and triglycerides, obesity indices and blood glucose. The impact of these programmes on CVD is modified by the type of intervention and by different cultural and physical environments.

Abstract
Lateral crural cut and overlay (LCC) or medial crural cut and overlay (MCC) are two of the many techniques applied to ensure an adequate nasal tip projection and rotation, but little evidence supports their long-term efficacy. Fifty-four rhinoplasty candidates were studied prospectively in this randomised clinical trial. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups according to the use of LCC or MCC. The outcome measures were gaining and maintaining tip projection and rotation in the long term. Standardised photographs taken before and at three and 12 months after surgery were used to compare nasolabial angle and projection between groups. Patients' satisfaction with the cosmetic results and nasal obstruction were evaluated using the Standardised Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS). LCC and MCC were each used in 26 cases. Preoperatively, the nasolabial angle, tip projection, and other characteristics were not significantly different between the groups. There was no significant difference in tip rotation stability (p = 0.624) and projection (p = 0.329) between the groups postoperatively, but patients' satisfaction with the cosmetic results was significantly higher in the MCC group (p = 0.046). It seems that both LCC and MCC are effective techniques in rhinoplasty. Compared with LCC, the use of MCC in qualified hands may increase the patients' satisfaction with the cosmetic results.

Abstract
PURPOSE This updated meta-analysis aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of circulating cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) for prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases to retrieve related studies. Several diagnostic estimates, including sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), likelihood ratios (LRs), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were also used to perform the meta-synthesis. Additionally, the area under hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curves (AU-HSROC) was used as a global measure of test accuracy. RESULTS Twenty-nine unique articles were enrolled in the meta-analysis. Pooled SE and SP for overall accuracy of cf-DNA in PCa were obtained as 0.54 (95% CI: 0.47-0.61) and 0.92 (95% CI: 0.88-0.95), respectively. Positive LR (PLR) was 6.8 (95% CI: 4.9-9.5, I2 : 92.98%) and negative LR (NLR) was 0.5 (95% CI: 0.43-0.58). Pooled DOR was 13.56 (95% CI: 9.49-19.37) and the AU-HSROC was 0.83 (95% CI: 0.79-0.86). CONCLUSION The present study suggested that cf-DNA assays have comparable SE as well as remarkably higher SP (qualitative assays) than common biomarkers in the detection of PCa like prostate-specific antigen (PSA). In addition, cf-DNA assays have better performance in PCa confirmation and almost similar performance to PSA in excluding PCa patients.

Abstract
Treatment of textile wastewater using ultrafiltration membranes was carried out in this study. Since membrane fouling is a major operational problem that decreases the membrane separation efficiency, wastewater was treated with polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and alum (aluminum sulfate) as coagulant to decrease the fouling of ultrafiltration membranes. PACl was selected as the best coagulant in the experiments. Also, chitosan was used as coagulant aid upon developing the hybrid process. The obtained optimum dosage of PACl coagulant was 100 mg/L, and maximum turbidity and COD removal of 35% and 66% were attained, respectively. The pretreated wastewater by coagulation was sent to ultrafiltration process for further removal of turbidity and COD. Three ultrafiltration hollow-fiber membranes made of polypropylene (PP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyethersulfone (PES) were applied in this study. In general, the filtration results were evaluated for two types of samples treated under coagulation and without treatment; the results were unfavorable for the second type. The effects of transmembrane pressure (TMP) and cross velocity on membranes performance were also investigated for process optimization. The obtained results showed that PVDF membrane had the highest flux and turbidity removal, whereas the PES membrane had the highest COD removal. Also, the results revealed that turbidity and COD removal by all membranes were decreased by increasing TMP and cross velocity.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome characterized by elevated blood glucose. The α-glucosidase enzyme is responsible for the hydrolysis of carbohydrates. This in silico study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of the isolated compounds from Allium sativum L. on α-glucosidase. At first, sulfur and phenolic compounds of A. sativum L. were obtained from PubChem database, and α-glucosidase enzyme structure was obtained from Protein Data Bank. Toxicity class of compounds and the Lipinski parameter were predicted by Toxtree and Protox II and the Swiss ADME tools, respectively. Finally, the molecular interaction analysis between α-glucosidase and compounds from A. sativum L. was performed by AutoDock 4.2.6. Molecular interactions were investigated using Discovery Studio Visulizer and Ligplot 2.1 program. All of the selected sulfur and phenolic compounds from A. sativum L. followed the Lipinski's rules, had an acceptable binding energy, and lacked toxicity; therefore, they were appropriate candidates for α-glucosidase inhibition. Among these compounds, methionol and caffeic acid showed the lowest binding energy, and the highest inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase enzyme with - 3.9 and - 4.8 kcal/mol, respectively. These compounds also indicated the lower binding energy than the standard inhibitor (miglitol). Among the sulfur and phenolic compounds in A. sativum L., methionol and caffeic acid were predicted to be the powerful inhibitors, due to having more hydrogen binds and hydrophobic interactions with the active site of α-glucosidase.

Abstract
Background Optimizing anesthetic management for the best possible outcome is essential in kidney transplantation (KT). Objective To evaluate the difference in grafted kidney function and early kidney transplant outcome when the pairs of donor-recipient were anesthetized with isoflurane compared to propofol. Methods Thirty-eight pairs of kidney transplant donor-recipient were anesthetized with isoflurane, and 22 pairs were anesthetized with propofol. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were assessed in the preoperative period, on the first postoperative day, before discharge from the hospital, and 6 months after KT. Short-term (6 months) outcomes of KT were assessed by the incidence of delayed graft function, acute rejection episodes, and graft failure. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the serial measurements of SCr, BUN, eGFR, and the early outcomes (6 months) after surgery. Interestingly, donor warm ischemic time in the propofol group was significantly longer than in the isoflurane group (4.05±1.02, 2.93±0.87 minutes, respectively) (p=0.001). Moreover, postoperative hospital stay in the propofol group were significantly shorter compared to the isoflurane group (9.63±2.96, 11.78±4.91 days, respectively) (p=0.02). Conclusion There were no significant differences in transplanted kidney function and the early outcome of kidney transplantation between the two study groups. However, earlier hospital discharge after surgery in the propofol group suggests that propofol may be a more appropriate anesthetic choice in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polymorphisms within miRNAs binding sites are associated with miRNAs function. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between rs61764370 polymorphism within let-7 miRNA binding site in KRAS gene and the risk of lung cancer in Iranian population. METHODS This case-control study was conducted with 100 lung cancer patients and 100 healthy persons. The rs61764370 polymorphism was analyzed using PCR-RFLP technique and direct sequencing. RESULTS We found a significant relationship between rs61764370 (T / G) polymorphism and lung cancer risk, the GT genotype (OR: 6.25; 95% CI = 2.605-15.00; P= 0.000) and G allele (OR: 5.25; 95% CI = 2.259-12.208; P= 0.000) were significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. CONCLUSION According to our findings, there is a significant relationship between the KRAS rs61764370 polymorphism and lung cancer risk in Iranian population and this polymorphism may be used as a marker in detection of lung cancer in the future.

Abstract
Digital pathology can be thought of as a model composed of 3 main elements; classification algorithm, Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the pathologists. Currently there is only a one way interaction from the classification algorithm to the pathologist. This paper, proposes an additional backward path which is a new feedback-based method, aimed to improve the performance of the classification algorithms by utilizing the feedback of the pathologists. The GUI developed for this purpose, is aimed to be simple and adaptive to different classification algorithms. The method showed significant improvement in the classification performance of the applied Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm. The 25% quantile of the probability score of the predictions increased from 0.48 to 0.89 and the median of the data increased from 0.95 to 0.99.

Abstract
1. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on laying rate, body weight, plasma metabolites and some liver gene expression in broiler breeder hens. 2. A total of 128 broiler breeder hens (Arbor Acres Plus, 47 weeks of age) were randomly distributed to four dietary groups supplemented with different levels of CoQ10 (0, 300, 600 or 900 mg/kg diet) with four replicates of eight hens each. During 47-54 weeks of age, laying rate, egg mass and body weight were recorded weekly. To assay plasma biochemical indicators, blood samples were collected at 54 weeks of age. At the end of the experiment, for evaluating the abdominal fat weight, liver weight and expression of the adiponectin and proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) genes in the liver, eight hens per treatment were selected, weighed and humanely killed by decapitation. 3. Dietary supplementation of CoQ10 linearly decreased abdominal fat weight, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities by increased levels of CoQ10. The plasma levels of glucose, cholesterol and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were quadratically decreased by increased levels of CoQ10. The best plasma levels of glucose, cholesterol and ALP activity were estimated at 562.5, 633.3 and 517.8 mg CoQ10/kg diet, respectively. Adiponectin and PPARα gene expression exhibited a linear increased by increased levels of CoQ10. 4. In conclusion, addition of CoQ10 to the diet influenced lipid metabolism and expression of the adiponectin and PPAR-α genes, which might be partially due to the improvement in mitochondrial metabolism and energy production. However, further studies are necessary to determine the effects of CoQ10 on these indicators in broiler breeder hens during ageing.
