Abstract
INTRODUCTION Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) is an important tumour suppressor in multi-step tumorigenesis. To establish the role of PTEN in gastric cancer progression, we examined the PTEN expression degree in gastric cancer tissues. We also explained the connection between PTEN expression and histopathological findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study was cross-sectional and made up of 50 patients with known gastric cancer. Immunohistochemical staining for PTEN was done on gastric cancer tissues. Tumour behaviour was estimated by histopathological assessments. RESULTS Twenty-seven (54%) of the 50 patients had PTEN staining. The evaluation of the connection between PTEN expression and demographic data and tumour behaviours revealed no meaningful relationship between PTEN expression and patients' age, gender, tumour site and size, tumour type, tumour grade and stage, neural, and lymphovascular invasion (P-value>0.05). CONCLUSION PTEN expression level is expected to be a significant molecular event in the progression of gastric cancer and may be a predictive marker for gastric cancer behaviours dependent on society.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the probable difference in auditory perception and speech intelligibility performance amongst cochlear implanted children who experienced hyperbilirubinemia or auditory neuropathy in comparison to the cochlear implanted children with unknown etiology for hearing loss. This case-control study was carried out on 106 cochlear implanted children with mean age of 32.36 ± 11.98 months who were purposively selected and allocated into four groups. Out of the total, 30 had no specific etiology for hearing loss, while the others had experienced auditory neuropathy or hyperbilirubinemia with/without blood exchange. The auditory perception and speech intelligibility performance of all the participants who had received auditory verbal therapy were assessed after 6 and 12 months of rehabilitation. Then, the data was analyzed, using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences-version 21(SPSS-21). Results indicated poor auditory perception and speech intelligibility performance of the cochlear implanted children with hyperbilirubinemia and blood exchange (P ≤ 0.05), while the participants in the control group with no specific etiology for hearing loss, the children with hyperbilirubinemia with no blood exchange, and those who suffered from auditory neuropathy performed better, respectively. Also, a significant correlation between auditory neuropathy and hyperbilirubinemia was observed. Despite lower improvement of auditory perception and speech intelligibility of the hearing impaired children who were experiencing moderate to severe degrees of hyperbilirubinemia or auditory neuropathy, cochlear implantation is highly recommended not only for children with unknown etiology for severe hearing loss but also for this group of hearing impaired children.

Abstract
Objectives Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory and proatherogenic cytokine, and its genetic variations may contribute to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to investigate the role of -137G/C polymorphism and gene expression levels of IL-18 in patients with CAD. Methods The study population included 100 patients with angiographically proven CAD and 100 matched controls. Total RNA and DNA were extracted from leukocytes using appropriate kits. The genotype of -137G/C polymorphism and gene expression level of IL-18 was determined using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time (RT)-PCR assay, respectively. Results The genotypic and allelic distribution of IL-18 -137G/C polymorphism was not significantly different between the two groups (p > 0.050). Moreover, the -137G/C polymorphism did not increase the risk of CAD in dominant and recessive genetic models (p > 0.050). However, subgroup analysis of CAD patients revealed that the IL-18 -137G/C polymorphism was significantly associated with increased risk of CAD in hypertensive patients (odds ratio (OR) = 7.51; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24-25.17; p = 0.019) and smokers (OR = 4.90; 95% CI: 1.21-19.70; p = 0.031) but not in the diabetic subpopulation (p = 0.261). The genotype distribution of IL-18 -137G/C genetic polymorphism was significantly different among patients with one, two, and three stenotic vessels (p < 0.050). The gene expression level of IL-18 was significantly higher in the CAD group than the control group (p < 0.001). Moreover, the carriers of CC genotype had significantly lower gene expression levels of IL-18 than carriers of GG genotype (p < 0.050). Conclusions The -137G/C polymorphism of IL-18 may be associated with the CAD risk in hypertensive and smoker subgroup of CAD patients. The -137G/C polymorphism seems to play an important role in determining the severity of CAD. Increased IL-18 gene expression level is a significant risk factor for the development of CAD. The CC genotype of -137G/C polymorphism is associated with lower IL-18 gene expression levels.

Abstract
The interaction between the sequence of feeding of hay and concentrate and the hydrothermal processing of barley in alleviating concentrate effects on intake, and hindgut fermentation in horses was tested. Six Arabian mares (4-10 years of age, 410 ± 35 kg body weight) were used to evaluate the effects of feeding sequence (FS) and type of barley (TB) on intake, and faecal volatile fatty acids (VFA), activities of α-amylase (AA: EC 3.2.1.1), carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase: EC 3.2.1.4), microcrystalline cellulase (MCCase: EC 3.2.1.91) and general filter paper degrading activity (FPD). Mares were offered a ration of air-dried alfalfa and concentrate (70:30 as-fed) in four subsequent periods of 14 days including 8 days of adaptation and 6 days of sampling. In each period and each meal, mares received concentrate either 30 min after (HC) or 30 min before (CH) alfalfa hay. Barley was either milled or boiled in water. Rectal samples were grabbed directly from rectum once per period. Mares subjected to CH had higher dry matter intakes than mares under HC regime. The acetate:propionate ratio (A:P ratio) in rectal content was higher with CH than HC. The AA activity was higher under CH than under HC. Mares fed boiled barley had lower rectal concentrations of VFA and propionate and a higher A:P ratio than mares fed milled barley. Furthermore, the rectal content showed a higher MCCase activity but a lower AA activity when mares were fed boiled compared with milled barley. Interactions between FS and TB were observed with respect to CMCase activity, and concentrations of propionate and valerate. In conclusion, the present results suggest that both, feeding concentrate before hay and boiling the barley, might improve the hindgut environment in Arabian mares, and that the two measures were mostly additive and sometimes even synergistic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Researchers believe that there are social exchanges between the employers and employees, because the employees would be interested in their organization and trust it based on how the organization values them and their welfare, comfort, and security. This belief is known as perceived organizational support that makes employees consider themselves as a part of their organization and have a commitment to it. The literature review is very limited in both variables in Iran and thus few studies also report the perceived organizational support and job involvement at the lower levels in our country. This research aimed at studying the levels of perceived organizational support and job involvement, relationship between this two, and the demographic factors relationship with both of them. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research was a descriptive analytical study conducted in 2012. The population included 123 emergency nurses in General Hospitals of Qom. Data were collected through Perceived Organizational Support and Job Involvement Questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS software, descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation and Chi-square test. RESULTS Both mean scores for perceived organizational support and job involvement were in average level, 146/12 and 35/38, respectively. There was a significant relationship between perceived organizational support and age, education, tenure, organizational position, and job shift. There was also a significant relationship between job involvement and age and education and finally between perceived organizational support and job involvement (P = 0/029). DISCUSSION The high correlation between perceived organizational support and job involvement indicates that the improvement of perceived organizational support are necessary through motivating the employees, showing interest in them, paying attention to them, respecting them, and providing development opportunity in the organization. These should be always considered by managers to improve job involvement.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of expiratory ribcage compression (ERCC) before endotracheal suctioning on the arterial blood gases (ABG) in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. BACKGROUND Endotracheal suctioning is one of the most frequently used methods for airway clearance in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Chest physiotherapy techniques such as ERCC before endotracheal suctioning can be used as a means to facilitate mobilizing and removing airway secretions and improving alveolar ventilation. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, controlled cross-over design. METHODS A randomized controlled cross-over trial with a convenience sample of 70 mechanically ventilated patients was conducted from 2006 to 2007. The patients received endotracheal suctioning with (experiment-period) or without (control-period) an antecedent 5-min expiratory ribcage. All the patients experienced both periods with at least a 3-h washed-out interval between the two periods. ABG were measured 5 min before and 25 min after endotracheal suctioning. RESULTS The statistical tests showed that the levels of partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2 )/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2 ), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2 ) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) in the experimental period at 25 min after the intervention were significantly different from the control period. The tests also revealed that the levels of these variables at 25 min after suctioning were also significantly different from baseline values. However, these differences were clinically significant only for PaO2 /FiO2 . CONCLUSION By improving the levels of PaO2 /FiO2 , ERCC can reduce the patients' need for oxygen and hence it can at least reduce the side effects of oxygen therapy. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Improving PaO2 /FiO2 levels means less need for oxygen therapy. Hence, by applying ERCC we can at least minimize the side effects of oxygen therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims at investigating the possible effects of different daily doses of green tea (GT) intake for eight weeks on certain anthropometric, metabolic, and oxidative stress biomarkers of diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized clinical trial included 63 patients with type 2 diabetes (30 males and 33 females). After a two-week run-in period without green tea, they were randomly assigned into one of the three groups, with a different daily intake of green tea; four cups of green tea per day (n = 24), two cups of green tea per day (n = 25), and the control group (n = 14) with no green tea intake for two months. At baseline and after the intervention, blood tests, dietary, and anthropometric variables were assessed. The patients were instructed to maintain their usual dietary intake and normal physical activity. RESULTS Consumption of four cups of GT per day caused a significant decrease in body weight (73.2 to 71.9) (P < 0.001), body mass index (27.4 to 26.9) (P < 0.001), waist circumference (95.8 to 91.5) (P < 0.001), and systolic blood pressure (126.2 to 118.6) (P < 0.05) in this group. No significant change was seen in the other groups and between group comparisons. The metabolic and oxidative stress parameters did not show any significant differences within and between groups. CONCLUSION Drinking four cups of green tea led to a significant reduction in weight and systolic blood pressure.

Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer in adolescence requires that adolescents and their parents learn to adjust to the changes associated with cancer. This article presents results about the relationship between parental and adolescent coping. This study examined 120 adolescents in Iran with cancer (aged 11-18) and their parents. Coping was assessed using the Coping Strategies Inventory. Findings showed that there was a positive linear correlation between adolescents' engagement coping and disengagement coping and that of their parents. Logistic regression analysis indicated that 35.5% of engagement coping of adolescents and 24.1% of adolescent disengagement coping was dependent on the parents' coping strategies. Results indicated that adolescents were able to adapt to cancer within the context of a strong family. Nurses may be able to promote adolescent coping strategies by teaching engagement coping to patients' families.
