Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Considering the possible roles of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene in the pathogenesis of juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), the objective of this study was to elucidate whether polymorphisms of the IL23R are associated with susceptibility to JSLE in an Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study on 62 patients with JSLE and 78 healthy controls was performed to investigate the associations of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-23R gene, namely, rs7517847, rs10489629, rs11209026, and rs1343151, with susceptibility to JSLE, using real-time polymerase chain reaction Taqman genotyping technique. RESULTS Analysis of allele and genotype frequency of four selected SNPs revealed statistically significant positive association between homozygous variant of rs7517847 (TT) (P, 0.02) and T allele at the same position (P, 0.01) with JSLE vulnerability. There was no significant association between other evaluated SNPs and JSLE susceptibility. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that particular IL-23R gene variants could affect individual susceptibility to JSLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by chronic inflammation episodes within mucosal layer of the intestine mostly affecting colon and rectum. As the role of innate immunity in pathogenesis of disease and important role of NLRP3, the aim of this study is to investigate the association of NLRP3 SNPs with UC in Iranian patients. METHODS Blood samples from 45 UC patients and 56 healthy subjects were tested for single nucleotide polymorphisms in rs10754558, rs3806265, rs4612666, and rs35829419 of NLRP3 gene, using real-time PCR method. RESULTS Among the investigated SNPs, "GG" genotype of rs10754558 have been 2.48 times more common among UC patients (P=0.04), while "CG" genotype has indicated protective effect against UC, as more frequently found in healthy subjects. CONCLUSION Despite no significant association between three investigated SNPs and disease, "GG" and "CG" genotypes of rs10754558 have been significantly associated with disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proinflammatory cytokines have been known to play a considerable part in the pathomechanisms of chronic heart failure (CHF). Given the importance of proinflammatory cytokines in the context of the failing heart, we assessed whether the polymorphisms of interleukin (IL)-1 gene cluster, including IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) and IL-1R gene are predictors of CHF due to ischemic heart disease. METHODS Forty- three patients with ischemic heart failure were recruited in this study as patients group and compared with 140 healthy unrelated control subjects. Using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers method, the allele and genotype frequency of 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IL-1α (-889), IL-1β (-511, +3962), IL-1R (psti 1970), and IL-1RA (mspa1 11100) genes were determined. RESULTS The frequency of the IL-1β -511/C allele was significantly higher in the patient group compared to that in the control group (p = 0.031). The IL-1β (-511) C/C genotype was significantly overrepresented in patients compared to controls (p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS Particular allele and genotype in IL-1β gene were overrepresented in patients with ischemic heart failure, possibly affecting the individual susceptibility to this disease (Tab. 1, Ref. 27).

Abstract
PURPOSE Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is a severe and chronic autoimmune disease of unknown origin. Inflammatory cytokines can play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of JSLE, while their secretion is under genetic control. The current investigation was performed to analyse the associations of particular single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) genes in a case control study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies of the polymorphic IL-2 (G/T at -330, rs2069762, and G/T at +166, rs2069763) and IFN-γ (A/T at +874, rs2430561) genes were estimated in 59 patients with JSLE by contrast with 140 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers method. RESULTS Results of the analysed data revealed a negative allelic association for JSLE in IL-2 -330/T (P=0.02), as well as a positive allelic association for IL-2 -330/G (P=0.02). IL-2 GG genotype (-330) in the patient group was also significantly overrepresented (P<0.001), while IL-2 GT genotype (-330) was notably decreased in the patients with JSLE (P<0.001). Additionally, the frequency of IL-2 (-330, +166) GT haplotype was significantly higher in the patient group (P<0.001). CONCLUSION IL-2 cytokine gene polymorphisms could affect individual susceptibility to JSLE and can take on the role of possible genetic markers for vulnerability to JSLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Filaggrin (FLG), which is formed from profilaggrin protein during epidermal terminal differentiation, is a prerequisite to squame biogenesis and thus for perfect formation of the skin barrier. Yet, the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of FLG and chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) has not been investigated. METHODS The study population consisted of 93 CIU patients and 93 healthy control subjects without a history of allergic, autoimmune or any other systemic disease. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FLG were investigated: rs2485518, rs3126065, rs2786680, rs3814300, and rs3814299. RESULTS For all the investigated polymorphisms, 100% of both CIU patients and control subjects exhibited one given allele and consequently one given genotype as following: A/A genotype for two SNPs, rs3126065 and rs2786680, C/C genotype for two SNPs, rs2485518 and rs3814300, and G/G genotype for one SNP rs3814299 of FLG, and hence no association was found between either allele frequencies or genotype distributions of FLG SNPs and CIU in an Iranian population. CONCLUSIONS The present study examined the possible relationship between SNPs of FLG and CIU for the first time, and demonstrated that none of five investigated SNPs (rs2485518, rs3126065, rs2786680, rs3814300, and rs3814299) are correlated with CIU in an Iranian population. Further investigations are required to address whether ethnicity/race impacts on relationship between SNPs of FLG and CIU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was to determine common methods to treat addiction used by patients checked into Outpatient Treatment and Rehabilitation Clinics in Tehran. METHODS The study was conducted in Social Security affiliated outpatient clinics including three governmental and several private centers in 22 districts of Tehran. Demographic data, personal information, social characteristics and information regarding prevention, treatment, and follow-up records of 1,372 patients were obtained and analyzed. RESULTS A majority of cases referring to the treatment centers were male (95.2%). Patients were 14 to 75 yr (mean 35.48 ± 10.57 yr); 61.7% were married and lived in rented homes in the city; 938/1372 (68.4%) had at least one previous attempt failure when seeking re-treatment. A majority of them (77.8%) had a history of 1 to 4 quit attempts; a number 63.1% had an abstinence period of 1 week to 6 months. CONCLUSION The majority of our understudy subjects had a history of previous attempts to treat their addiction with a maximum abstinence period of 6 months.

Abstract
The interaction of protein-calorie malnutrition and A<sub>2</sub>/RI/5<sup>-</sup> influenza virus infection in rats was studied and the extension of the lung lesions in malnourished rats seemed to be less than those in the normal animals. Viral isolation was made in a higher percentage from the lungs of normal animals as compared to the malnourished ones. The antibody response in both groups was almost identical. These observations give indication that at least in our experiment, malnutrition does not enhance the influenza infection in rats.
