Abstract
During the past decades, the advent of different microneedle patch (MNPs) systems paves the way for the targeted and efficient delivery of several growth factors into the injured sites. MNPs consist of several micro-sized (25-1500 μm) needle rows for painless delivery of incorporated therapeutics and increase of regenerative outcomes. Recent data have indicated the multifunctional potential of varied MNP types for clinical applications. Advances in the application of materials and fabrication processes enable researchers and clinicians to apply several MNP types for different purposes such as inflammatory conditions, ischemic disease, metabolic disorders, vaccination, etc. Exosomes (Exos) are one of the most interesting biological bioshuttles that participate in cell-to-cell paracrine interaction with the transfer of signaling biomolecules. These nano-sized particles, ranging from 50 to 150 nm, can exploit several mechanisms to enter the target cells and deliver their cargo into the cytosol. In recent years, both intact and engineered Exos have been increasingly used to accelerate the healing process and restore the function of injured organs. Considering the numerous benefits provided by MNPs, it is logical to hypothesize that the development of MNPs loaded with Exos provides an efficient therapeutic platform for the alleviation of several pathologies. In this review article, the authors collected recent advances in the application of MNP-loaded Exos for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Recent advances in extracellular vesicle (EVs) detection and isolation methods have led to the development of novel therapeutic modalities. Among different types of EVs, exosomes (Exos) can transfer different signaling biomolecules and exhibit several superior features compared to whole-cell-based therapies. Therapeutic factors are normally loaded into the Exo lumen or attached to their surface for improving the on-target delivery rate and regenerative outcomes. Despite these advantages, there are several limitations in the application of Exos in in vivo conditions. It was suggested that a set of proteins and other biological compounds are adsorbed around Exos in aqueous phases and constitute an external layer named protein corona (PC). Studies have shown that PC can affect the physicochemical properties of synthetic and natural nanoparticles (NPs) after introduction in biofluids. Likewise, PC is generated around EVs, especially Exos in in vivo conditions. This review article is a preliminary attempt to address the interfering effects of PC on Exo bioactivity and therapeutic effects. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Nowadays, a large population around the world, especially the elderly, suffers from neurological inflammatory and degenerative disorders/diseases. Current drug delivery strategies are facing different challenges because of the presence of the BBB, which limits the transport of various substances and cells to brain parenchyma. Additionally, the low rate of successful cell transplantation to the brain injury sites leads to efforts to find alternative therapies. Stem cell byproducts such as exosomes are touted as natural nano-drug carriers with 50-100 nm in diameter. These nano-sized particles could harbor and transfer a plethora of therapeutic agents and biological cargos to the brain. These nanoparticles would offer a solution to maintain paracrine cell-to-cell communications under healthy and inflammatory conditions. The main question is that the existence of the intact BBB could limit exosomal trafficking. Does BBB possess some molecular mechanisms that facilitate the exosomal delivery compared to the circulating cell? Although preliminary studies have shown that exosomes could cross the BBB, the exact molecular mechanism(s) beyond this phenomenon remains unclear. In this review, we tried to compile some facts about exosome delivery through the BBB and propose some mechanisms that regulate exosomal cross in pathological and physiological conditions.

Abstract
The emergence of an inflammatory condition such as asthma could affect the therapeutic potential of stem cells. Synopsis of previous documents yielded controversial outcomes, leading to a limitation of stem cell-based therapy in the clinical setting. This study aimed to assess the impact of asthmatic serum on the MSCs aging and dynamic growth in vitro. Rats were divided into control and asthmatic groups randomly. The asthmatic change was induced using OVA sensitization. The asthmatic structural changes are monitored by conventional Haematoxylin-Eosin staining. Thereafter, blood samples were taken and sera provided from each group. In this study, primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in culture medium supplemented with normal and asthmatic serum for 7 days. The MSCs viability was examined using the MTT assay. The expression of the aging-related gene (β-galactosidase), and stemness-related markers such as Sox2, Kfl-4 and p16INK4a were analysed by real-time PCR assay. Histological examination revealed chronic inflammatory remodelling which is identical to asthmatic changes. MTT assay showed a reduction of mesenchymal stem cell viability compared to the control group (P < .05). Real-time PCR analysis revealed a down-regulation of stemness-related markers Sox2, Kfl-4 and p16INK4a coincided with aging changes (β-galactosidase) compared to the control group (P < .05). These data show the detrimental effect of asthmatic condition on bone marrow regenerative potential by accelerating early-stage aging in different stem cells and further progenitor cell depletion. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: In such inflammatory conditions as asthma, the therapeutic potential of stem cells may be altered. We demonstrate that serum from asthmatic rats had the potential to reduce the viability of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Furthermore, we observed that the expression of the aging-related gene known β-galactosidase was statistically increased in cells co-cultured with asthmatic serum. At the same time, expression of stemness-related markers Sox2, Kfl-4 and p16INK4a down-regulated. These results support the damaging effect of asthmatic condition on bone marrow regenerative ability by inducing early-stage aging in stem cells and additional progenitor cell reduction.

Abstract
During the last two decades, melatonin has been found to have pleiotropic effects via different mechanisms on its target cells. Data are abundant for some aspects of the signaling pathways within cells while other casual mechanisms have not been adequately addressed. From an evolutionary perspective, eukaryotic cells are equipped with a set of interrelated endomembrane systems consisting of intracellular organelles and secretory vesicles. Of these, exosomes are touted as cargo-laden secretory vesicles that originate from the endosomal multivesicular machinery which participate in a mutual cross-talk at different cellular interfaces. It has been documented that cells transfer various biomolecules and genetic elements through exosomes to sites remote from the original cell in a paracrine manner. Findings related to the molecular mechanisms between melatonin and exosomal biogenesis and cargo sorting are the subject of the current review. The clarification of the interplay between melatonin and exosome biogenesis and cargo sorting at the molecular level will help to define a cell's secretion capacity. This review precisely addresses the role and potential significance of melatonin in determining the efflux capacity of cells via the exosomal pathway. Certain cells, for example, stem cells actively increase exosome efflux in response to melatonin treatment which accelerates tissue regeneration after transplantation into the injured sites.

Abstract
Objective The current experiment aimed to assess the impact of detergents such as 3% Triton X-100, 1% peracetic acid, 1% Tween-20, and 1% SDS in combination with Trypsin–EDTA on acellularization of ovine aortae after 7 days. Results Hematoxylin–Eosin staining showed an appropriate acellularization rate in ovine aortae, indicated by a lack of cell nuclei in the tunica media layer. DAPI staining confirmed the lack of nuclei in the vascular wall after being exposed to the combination of chemical and enzymatic solutions. Verhoeff-Van Gieson staining showed that elastin fibers were diminished in acellular samples compared to the control group while collagen stands were unchanged. CCK-8 survival assay showed enhanced viability in human umbilical vein endothelial cells 5 days after being cultured on decellularized samples compared to the cells cultured on a plastic surface (p < 0.05). SEM imaging showed flattening of endothelial cells on the acellular surface.

Abstract
Biocompatible, biodegradable, and injectable hydrogels are a novel and promising approach for bone regeneration. In this study, poly(caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL), PCL-PEG-PCL-gelatin (Gel), PCL-PEG-PCL-Gel/nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) injectable hydrogels were synthesized and evaluated in a mouse model of subcutaneous transplantation after 14 days. PCL-PEG-PCL-Gel and PCL-PEG-PCL-Gel/nHA hydrogels were fabricated with in situ precipitation method. Structure, intermolecular interaction, and the reaction between the PCL-PEG-PCL, Gel, and nHA were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR), and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (C-NMR). Fourteen days after subcutaneous injection, the existence of an immune system reaction was investigated using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining. Using immunofluorescence imaging, the number of CD68+ cells was determined in the periphery of the hydrogel. The CD8/CD4 lymphocyte ratio was also calculated in blood samples. We monitored the expression of CCL-2, BCL-2, IL-10, and CD31 using real-time PCR assay. The chemical evaluation revealed the successful integration of Gel and nHA to the PCL-PEG-PCL backbone. Histological examination showed the lack of inflammation at the site of injection. No toxicological effects were determined in hepatic and renal tissues. The addition of nHA to the PCL-PEG-PCL-Gel decreased biodegradation time. None of the hydrogels caused statistically significant differences in the number of CD68 cells (p > 0.05). The CD8/CD4 lymphocyte ratio remained unchanged in all groups (p > 0.05). Compared to the PCL-PEG-PCL group, the addition of nHA and Gel increased the expression of CCL-2, BCL-2, IL-10, and CD31 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the current study showed that PCL-PEG-PCL-Gel/nHA hydrogels could be used in in vivo conditions without prominent toxic effects and inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Background Atherosclerosis is touted as one of the most critical consequences of diabetes mellitus indicated by local inflammation of endothelial cells. The Effect of Omega 3 fatty acids, mainly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been investigated in cells after exposure to high doses of lipids. The current experiment aimed to address the modulatory effects of docosahexaenoic acid and insulin in palmitic-treated human endothelial cells. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were treated with 1 mM palmitic acid, 50 μM insulin, 50 μM docosahexaenoic acid, and their combination for 48 h. Cell survival rate and apoptosis were measured using MTT and flow cytometry assays. The Griess assay detected NO levels. Protein levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB were studied using ELISA and immunofluorescence imaging. The expression of genes participating in atherosclerosis was monitored using PCR array analysis. Results Oil Red O staining showed the inhibitory effect of DHA and insulin to reduce the intracellular accumulation of palmitic acid. Both DHA and Insulin blunted palmitic acid detrimental effects on HUVECs indicated by an increased survival rate (p < 0.05). The percent of apoptotic cells was decreased in palmitic-treated cells received insulin and DHA compared to palmitic-treated group (p < 0.05). Based on our data, DHA and Insulin diminished the production of all inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB, in palmitic-treated cells (p < 0.05). Similar to these data, NO production was also decreased in all groups treated with insulin and DHA compared to the palmitic-treated cells (p < 0.05). PCR array analysis revealed the modulatory effect of DHA and insulin on the expression of atherosclerosis-related genes pre-treated with palmitic acid compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion DHA and Insulin could alter the dynamic growth and dysfunctional activity of human endothelial cells after treatment with palmitic acid. Taken together, Omega 3 fatty acids, along with insulin, could dictate specific cell behavior in endothelial cells in vitro.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Because of the economic and social burden of acute myocardial infarction and its chronic consequences in surviving patients, understanding the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction injury is a major priority for cardiovascular research. MI is defined as cardiomyocytes death caused by an ischemic that resulted from the apoptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, and autophagy. The phases of normal repair following MI including inflammatory, proliferation, and maturation. Normal repair is slow and inefficient generally so that other treatments are required. Because of difficulties, outcomes, and backwashes of traditional therapies including coronary artery bypass grafting, balloon angioplasty, heart transplantation, and artificial heart operations, the novel strategy in the treatment of MI, cell therapy, was newly emerged. In cell therapy, a new population of cells has created that substitute with damaged cells. Different types of stem cell and progenitor cells have been shown to improve cardiac function through various mechanisms, including the formation of new myocytes, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells. Bone marrow- and/or adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, embryonic stem cells, autologous skeletal myoblasts, induced pluripotent stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, cardiac progenitor cells and cardiac pericytes considered as a source for cell therapy. In this study, we focused on the point of view of the cell sources.

Abstract
Human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were isolated from cord blood samples and enriched by magnetic activated cell sorting method based on the CD133 marker. Cells were incubated with different doses of bacterial lipopolysaccharide, ranging from 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 250, 500, to 1000 µg/ml, for 48 h. The cell survival rate was determined by using MTT assay. To confirm activation of the toll-like receptor signaling pathway, PCR array analysis was performed. Protein levels of ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2, NF-ƙB and TRIF proteins were measured using western blotting. The content of TNF-α and lipoprotein lipase activity were analyzed by immunofluorescence imaging. Flow cytometric analysis of CD31 was performed to assess the maturation rate. Cell migration was studied by the Transwell migration assay. The expression of genes related to exosome biogenesis was measured using real-time PCR analysis. In vivo gel plug angiogenesis assay was done in nude mice. Lipopolysaccharide changed endothelial progenitor cells' survival in a dose-dependent manner with maximum viable cells in groups treated with 2 µg/ml. PCR array analysis showed the activation of toll-like signaling pathways after exposure to LPS (p<0.05). Western blotting analysis indicated an induction of p-ERK1/2 and Erk1/2, NF-kB and TRIF in LPS-treated EPCs compared with the control (p<0.05). Immunofluorescence staining showed an elevation of TNF-α and lipoprotein lipase activity after lipopolysaccharide treatment (p<0.05). Lipopolysaccharide increased EPC migration and expression of exosome biogenesis-related genes (p<0.05). In vivo gel plug analysis revealed enhanced angiogenesis in cells exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Data highlighted the close relationship between the toll-like receptor signaling pathway and functional activity in EPCs.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly influenced public health and contributed to global economic divergences of unprecedented dimensions. Due to the high prevalence and mortality rates, it is then expected that the consequence and public health challenges will last for long periods. The rapid global spread of COVID-19 and lack of enough data regarding the virus pathogenicity multiplies the complexity and forced governments to react quickly against this pandemic. Stem cells represent a small fraction of cells located in different tissues. These cells play a critical role in the regeneration and restoration of injured sites. Because of their specific niche and a limited number of stem cells, the key question is whether there are different anti-viral mechanisms against viral infection notably COVID-19. Here, we aimed to highlight the intrinsic antiviral resistance in different stem cells against viral infection. These data could help us to understand the possible viral infections in different stem cells and the activation of specific molecular mechanisms upon viral entrance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Birth of the preterm babies creates a huge amount of stress in mothers and makes it hard for them to contribute to the care of their off springs. The Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP)is designed to empower the parents in comprehensively caring for their preterm baby after discharge from the hospital. The present research was intended to study the effects of NIDCAP follow up on the stress and anxiety of the mothers. METHODS In this clinical trial, 20 mothers of preterm babies with the gestational age of 26 to 32 weeks were studied at Omolbanin Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. The NIDCAP was performed during the hospital stay and two times after discharge. The control group received routine care without the NIDCAP. Anxiety and stress of the mothers were assessed through the Spielberger and Cohen questionnaires. Data were analyzed by Independent t-test, Chi-square and Fisher's Exact test in SPSS 20 software. RESULTS At the baseline, there were no statistically significant differences between the experimental and the control group. After the intervention, the average score of anxiety was significantly lower among mothers in the experimental group compared to the control group(P=0.009). NIDCAP and its follow up also reduced the stress of the mothers in the experiment group (P=0.033). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of the NIDCAP and its home follow up was effective in reducing the stress and the anxiety of the mothers of preterm babies. Execution of the NIDCAP is recommended to all hospital of the country for mothers of preterm babies.

Abstract
Purpose: Here, we investigated the angiogenic potential of endothelial progenitor cells juxtaposed with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) inside alginate-gelatin microspheres with stromal derived factor-1α (SDF-1 α) for 7 days. Methods: Six encapsulated groups were allocated including endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), EPCs/SDF-1α, MSCs, MSCs/SDF-1α, EPCs+MSCs and EPCs+MSCs/SDF-1α. Cells were encapsulated with a mixture of 1% alginate and 2% gelatin hydrogel. Cell survival was examined by MTT assay. Endothelial differentiation was determined by flow cytometry and ELISA. Tubulogenesis assay and Ac-Dil-LDL uptake were used to detect functional activity. Cell migration was analyzed by Transwell insert and gelatin zymography analyses. By using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we measured the transcription of Akt and PK1. Results: We found an increase in cell viability in MSCs/SDF-1α microspheres compared to EPCs group (P <0.05). EPC/MSCs co-culture contributed to the increase of CD133+ cells while we found high CD31 levels in MSCs group (P <0.05). Juxtaposition of EPC with MSCs increased tubulogenesis compared to SDF-1a-free condition (P <0.001). SDF-1α had the potential to increase in AC-LDL uptake in MSCs and EPCs/MSCs groups. Cells migration and MMP-9 activities increased after treatment with SDF-1α. SDF-1α upregulated PK1 and Akt in encapsulated cells, especially in a co-culture system. Conclusion: Alginate-gelatin microspheres could alter the angiogenic potential of progenitor cells in the presence of SDF-1α

Abstract
In this study, the angiogenic capacity of human endothelial cells was studied after being plated on the surface of polyurethane-poly caprolactone (PU/PCL) scaffolds for 72 h. In this study, cells were designated into five different groups, including PU, PU/PCL (2:1), PU/PCL (1:1); PU/PCL (1:2); and PCL. Data revealed that the PU/PCL (2:1) composition had a higher modulus and breakpoint in comparison with the other groups (p < 0.05). Compared to the other groups, the PU/PCL scaffold with a molar ratio of 2:1 had lower the contact angle θ and higher tensile stress (p < 0.05). The mean size of the PU nanofibers was reduced after the addition of PCL (p < 0.05). Based on our data, the culture of endothelial cells on the surface of PU/PCL (2:1) did not cause nitrosative stress and cytotoxic effects under static conditions compared to cells plated on a conventional plastic surface (p > 0.05). Based on data from the static condition, we fabricated a tubular PU/PCL (2:1) construct for six-day dynamic cell culture inside loop air-lift bioreactors. Scanning electron microscopy showed the attachment of endothelial cells to the luminal surface of the PU/PCL scaffold. Cells were flattened and aligned under the culture medium flow. Immunofluorescence imaging showed the attachment of cells to the luminal surface indicated by blue nuclei on the luminal surface. These data demonstrated that the application of PU/PCL substrate could stimulate endothelial cells activity under static and dynamic conditions.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? The aim of the experiment was to highlight the regenerative capacity of bone marrow Kit+ cells in the restoration of asthmatic pulmonary function in the rat model. What is the main finding and its importance? Data showed that these cells were recruited successfully to the asthmatic niche after intratracheal administration and accelerated the regeneration of asthmatic lungs by the modulation of inflammation via the control of Gata3 and Tbx21 expression, leading to decreased tracheal responsiveness to methacholine and reduction of pathological remodelling. ABSTRACT Allergic asthma is a T helper (Th) 2 immunological disorder with consequential uncontrolled inflammatory responses. There is an increasing demand to use new methods for the treatment of asthma based on modulation of the Th2-to-Th1 ratio in favour of the Th1 population. Accordingly, we decided to evaluate the effects of intratracheal administration of Kit+ bone marrow cells on tracheal responsiveness and the expression of Gata3 and Tbx21 genes. Forty male Wistar rats were allocated randomly into four experimental groups: healthy rats (control group), sensitized rats (OVA group), sensitized rats receiving Kit- cells (OVA+Kit- group) and sensitized rats receiving Kit+ cells (OVA+Kit+ group). Total and differential white blood cell counts, tracheal responsiveness to cumulative methacholine concentrations and histopathological analysis were evaluated. The results showed a statistically significant increase in total white blood cell, eosinophil and neutrophil counts, tracheal contractility, Gata3 expression and prototypical histopathology of asthma. Along with these conditions, we found that the number of lymphocytes was decreased and expression of Tbx21 diminished in sensitized rats compared with control animals. Monitoring of labelled tagged cells confirmed successful engraftment of transplanted cells in pulmonary tissue. Juxtaposition of Kit+ cells changed the blood leucogram closer to the control values. Kit+ cells increased the expression of Tbx21 and suppressed Gata3 (P < 0.05). In the OVA+Kit+ group, tracheal responsiveness was improved coincident with increased pulmonary regeneration. In conclusion, this study showed that intratracheal administration of bone marrow-derived Kit+ cells, but not Kit- cells, could be effective in the alleviation of asthma, presumably by the modulation of Gata3 and Tbx21.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the modulatory role of sex-related hormone estradiol on cancer stem cells with the origin of colorectal adenocarcinoma in vitro. Cancer stem cells were incubated with 100 nM estradiol for 48 h. The cell survival rate was analyzed using the MTT assay. Immunocytochemistry staining of Ki-67 and Inhibin and Apoptosis PCR array were done to measure proliferation/apoptosis. Cell migration was monitored via the Transwell Migration assay. The expression of exosome biogenesis genes was measured using a real-time PCR assay. The fatty acid profile was monitored using gas chromatography. The level of FAK, SQSTM1, ER, and SIRT1 was examined using Western blotting. Cancer stem-endothelial cell interaction was investigated using Surface Plasmon Resonance assay. Data showed no significant differences in cancer stem cell viability and proliferation between control and estradiol-treated groups (p>0.05). PCR array highlighted the up-regulation of both pro- and anti-apoptosis effectors in the treatment group compared to the control cells (p<0.05). Cell migration capacity was increased after treatment with estradiol (p<0.001). Both exocytosis and exosome biogenesis were decreased in cancer stem cells exposed to estradiol (p<0.05). Data showed the reduction of palmitic acid, and increase of Palmitoleic and Linolenic acids in estradiol-treated cells. Estrogen induced estrogen receptor, SQSTM1 proteins and decreased SIRT1 factor after 48 h. Surface Plasmon Resonance revealed the suppression of cancer stem-endothelial cell interaction and affinity. Estradiol could change the migration, juxtacrine and paracrine activities of cancer stem cells, showing the importance of sex-related hormones in the dynamic of cancer development.

Abstract
AIMS Previous studies showed a close relationship between obesity and asthma. In this study, we investigated the expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress genes in the lung tissue of obese ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized male and female rats. MAIN METHODS The rats were divided into eight groups (n = 5 per group) as follows: female and male rats fed with normal diet (FND and MND, respectively), female and male OVA-sensitized rats fed with normal diet (F-OND and M-OND, respectively), female and male rats fed with high-fat diet (F-HFD and M-HFD, respectively), female and male OVA-sensitized rats fed with high-fat diet (F-OHFD and M-OHFD, respectively). All rats were fed with a high-fat diet or standard pelts for 8 weeks, and for another 4 weeks, they were sensitized by OVA or saline. At the end of the study, lung tissue NF-kB protein level was assessed, and ER stress markers genes expression was determined by Real Time-PCR. KEY FINDING OVA-sensitization and diet-induced obesity caused the curve of methacholine concentration-response to shift to the left. In addition, the results indicated that the EC50 (the effective concentration of methacholine generating 50% of peak response) in F-OHFD rats was statistically lower than that of the M-OHFD group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the results showed that diet-induced obesity increased the expression of ATF4, ATF6, GRP78, XBP-1, and CHOP as well as the protein level of NF-kB in this experimental model of asthma, markedly in the F-OHFD group. SIGNIFICANCE The results suggest that ER stress may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma observed in obese OVA-sensitized rats, especially in the female animals.

Abstract
Objective: To produce a customized birthweight standard for Iran.Method: Retrospective study of a pregnancy database collected from five hospitals across Iran. The cohort consisted of 4994 consecutive term births with complete data, delivered between July 2013 and November 2014. Coefficients were derived using a backwards stepwise multiple regression technique.Results: Maternal height, weight in early pregnancy and parity as well as the baby's sex were identified as significant physiological variables affecting birthweight. Paternal height and weight were also significant although weaker factors. The expected 280-day birthweight, free from pathological influences, of a standard size mother (height 163 cm, weight 64 kg) in her first pregnancy was 3390 g. Pathological factors found to affect birthweight in this cohort included village housing, anemia, preexisting and gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.Conclusion: The analysis confirmed the main physiological variables that affect birthweight in other countries and shows paternal factors also to be significant variables. Development of a country-specific customized birthweight standard will aid clinicians in Iran to distinguish between fetuses that are either constitutionally or pathologically small, thereby avoiding unnecessary interventions, and improving identification of at-risk pregnancies and perinatal outcome.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death globally that can be mitigated by the modulation of angiogenesis. To achieve this goal, the application of endothelial progenitor cells and other stem cell types is useful. Following the onset of cardiovascular disease and pro-inflammatory conditions as seen during bacterial sepsis, endothelial progenitor cells enter systemic circulation in response to multiple cytokines and activation of various intracellular mechanisms. The critical role of Toll-like receptors has been previously identified in the dynamics of various cell types, in particular, immune cells. To our knowledge, there are a few experiments related to the role of Toll-like receptors in endothelial progenitor cell activity. Emerging data point of endothelial progenitor cells and other stem cells having the potential to express Toll-like receptors to control different activities such as multipotentiality and dynamics of growth. In this review article, we aim to collect data related to the role of Toll-like receptors in endothelial progenitor cells bioactivity and angiogenic potential.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death globally. Many attempts have been done to ameliorate the pathological changes after the occurrence of myocardial infarction. Curcumin is touted as a polyphenol phytocompound with appropriate cardioprotective properties. In this study, the therapeutic effect of curcumin was investigated on acute myocardial infarction in the model of rats. Rats were classified into four groups; control, isoproterenol hydrochloride (ISO) (100 mg/kbw), curcumin (50 mg/kbw), and curcumin plus ISO treatment groups. After 9-day administration of curcumin, levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were determined. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were measured to investigate the oxidative status in infarct rats received curcumin. By using H & E staining, tissue inflammation was performed. Masson's trichrome staining was conducted to show cardiac remodeling and collagen deposition. The number of apoptotic cells was determined by using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. Data showed the serum decrease of LDH, CK, and cTnI in infarct rats after curcumin intake compared to the rats given (ISO) ( P < 0.05). Curcumin was found to reduce oxidative status by reducing SOD and MDA contents ( P < 0.05). Gross and microscopic examinations revealed that the decrease of infarct area, inflammation response and collagen deposition in rats given ISO plus curcumin ( P < 0.05). We noted the superior effect of curcumin to reduce the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes after 9 days. Data point the cardioprotective effect of curcumin to diminish the complication of infarction by the reduction of cell necrosis and apoptosis in a rat model of experimental infarction.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) participate in the regulation of different cell activities in response to stimuli. By applying different strategies, the modulation of heat shock proteins is at the center of attention. Conventional delivery approaches are not fully encouraged due to cytotoxicity and immunogenicity issues. Exosomes are touted as bio-shuttles for delivery of distinct biomolecules inside the cells. Here, we aimed to HSP27 small interfering RNA (siRNA)-tagged exosomes for the inhibition of Hsp27 in human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y and explored differentiation into neuron-like cells. Exosomes were isolated, characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and CD63 then enriched with siRNA against Hsp27. Neuroblastoma cells were incubated with exosomes carrying siRNA for 48 hr. Exosome uptake was monitored by immunofluorescence assay. The cell viability and proliferation were analyzed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and bromodeoxyuridine/5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation assays. The ability of cells to form colonies was evaluated by clonogenic assay. The cell potential to express NeuN, a mature neuron factor, was studied by flow cytometry analysis. SEM showed the nano-sized particles and a high level of CD63 after enrichment. Immunofluorescence imaging revealed an appropriate transfection rate in cell exposed to Hsp27 siRNA tagged exosomes. The cell viability and proliferation were reduced compared to cells received nude exosomes ( p < 0.05). Clonogenic activity of cells was diminished by the inhibition of Hsp27. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the inhibition of Hsp27 prohibited NeuN content, showing the maturation of SH-SY5Y cells to mature cells compared to control. These data confirmed that exosomes could be used as appropriate bio-shuttles for the inhibition of Hsp27-aborted cell differentiation toward mature neuron.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is touted as a fundamental procedure in the regeneration and restoration of different tissues. The induction of de novo blood vessels seems to be vital to yield a successful cell transplantation rate loaded on various scaffolds. Scaffolds are natural or artificial substances that are considered as one of the means for delivering, aligning, maintaining cell connection in a favor of angiogenesis. In addition to the potential role of distinct scaffold type on vascularization, the application of some strategies such as genetic manipulation, and conjugation of pro-angiogenic factors could intensify angiogenesis potential. In the current review, we focused on the status of numerous scaffolds applicable in the field of vascular biology. Also, different strategies and priming approaches useful for the induction of pro-angiogenic signaling pathways were highlighted.

Abstract
Low birth weight is a key determinant in the risk of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period and during childhood. This unmatched case-control study in Hamadan, Islamic Republic of Iran, compared the characteristics of mothers of low- and normal-birth-weight infants. Maternal sociodemographic data, pregnancy history, anthropometric data and cord plasma zinc level were collected from 134 mothers of low-birth-weight infants and 134 mothers of normal infants at the time of delivery. Significant differences in maternal characteristics namely gravida, parity, body mass index, maternal weight gain during pregnancy and plasma cord blood zinc were found between low- and normal-birth-weight infants. There were no significant differences in maternal age, maternal education, maternal occupation, family income, previous abortion, previous preterm labour, birth Iinterval, type of clinic and place of residence between the 2 groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIM Intra-ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is an important predictor of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. IVH risk factor identification may conduct improvement of quality of care in neonatal intensive care units. The aim of the current study was to determine possible risk factors associated with IVH in VLBW neonates admitted in our hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS All neonates with birth weight below 1500 gr admitted to NICU. Cranial ultrasonography was done for premature neonates weighed <1000 g in 3 to 5 days and in 1 month again. In premature infants weighed >1000 g, sonography was done in 7 days and 30 days of life respectively. If there is any conditions such as apnea, seizure, significant decrease in level of hemoglobin, increased head circumference, increased oxygen consumption, and other significant changes another sonography was done again. Exclusion criteria were cerebral malformations, metabolic disturbances, chromosomal anomalies, central nervous system infection, and genetic syndromes. Data was analyzed by SPSS ver 16.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). RESULTS In this study 64 cases with IVH and without IVH were included. Mean of gestational age was 28.78 +/- 12.08. From neonates, 54.6% were boys and 45.4% were girls. Vaginal delivery and cesarean section was done in 56 (32.2%) and 118 (67.8%) cases respectively. Mean +/- SD of pH in cases with IVH and without IVH was 7.19 +/- 0.22 and 7.30 +/- 0.12 respectively (p = 0.001). Mean ISD of pco2 in cases with IVH and without IVH was 65.15 +/- 29.89 and 49.88 +/- 40.89 respectively(p = 0.001). Mean of 5th min APGAR score in patients required CPR was 7.36 +/- 1.57 and in patients without CPR was 8.68 +/- 1.25 (P = 0.001). From cases with IVH, hydrocephaly was detected in 20 cases. From cases without IVH, hydrocephaly was detected in 6 cases. Result of chi-square show significant correlation between IVH and prematurity (chi2 = 21.94, df=1, P < 0.001). From cases with IVH, 18 cases (28.1%) expired. From cases without IVH, 11 cases (10%) expired (chi2 = 9.398, df=1, P = 0.002). Results of chi-square test showed that there were a corelation between IVH and PDA, pressure support, surfactant therapy drug administration, vaginal delivery, neonatal resuscitation, and antenatal corticosteroid therapy (p < 0.05). Hyaline membrane disease, history of preclampsia in mother was significantly higher in cases without IVH (chi-square, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION PDA, pressure support, surfactant therapy, inotrop drug administration, vaginal delivery, neonatal resuscitation, and antenatal corticosteroid therapy were significantly higher in cases with IVH. Hyaline membrane disease and preeclampsia in mother was significantly higher in cases without IVH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary hypogammaglobulinemia disorders are a group of heterogeneous immunodeficiency syndromes with an increased susceptibility to pulmonary complications. METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of lung abnormalities in primary hypogammaglobulinaemic patients by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan and pulmonary function test (PFT). HRCT and PFT were performed in 22 Iranian patients with primary hypogammaglobulinemia. RESULTS Pathological bronchial findings were observed in thirteen patients: three patients showed only peribronchial thickening and the remaining ten patients suffered from both bronchiectasis and peribronchial wall thickening. Mild type of bronchiectasis and peribronchial wall thickening were the most common type, predominantly observed in the right middle and both right and left lower lobe segments of lungs. Although bullae were not found, emphysema, air-trapping, and collapse/consolidation were observed in two patients. Bronchial involvement was mostly limited to 1 up to 5 bronchopulmonary segments; only one HRCT indicated bronchial involvement in more than nine bronchopulmonary segments. Pathological bronchial findings mostly observed in the proximal bronchi; meanwhile the involvement of the distal bronchi was less common. Decreasing FEVI and FVC were observed in 65% and 55% of patients, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the HRCT score and the predicted values by PFT. The delay of diagnosis in patients with bronchiectasis was significantly higher than those without bronchiectasis. CONCLUSIONS It seems that the majority of hypogammaglobulinaemic patients suffer from the mild type of bronchiectasis, which is mostly observed in the proximal bronchi of the lower lobe segments. The delay of diagnosis plays an important role in the occurrence of this complication in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At least one congenital anomaly is present in between 1% and 6% of all infants throughout the world. The aim of this study was to document some epidemiological features of congenital anomalies in the North-West of Iran. METHODS The study cases (n = 1574) comprised all births registered/notified to three university-hospitals of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from 2000 to 2004. RESULTS Total prevalence of congenital anomalies was 165.5 per 10 000 births [95% confidence interval (CI): 157-174]. Genito-urinary tract and kidney defects, anomalies of nervous system and limb anomalies accounted proportionally for more than 65% of anomalies in the region. The total prevalence of congenital anomalies in the study area increased from 104.6 per 10 000 births in 2000 (95% CI: 90-119) to 170.1 per 10 000 births in 2004 (95% CI: 152-189). CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that the data from this cross-sectional study of congenital anomalies in the North-West of Iran may be used as the baseline information to establish a population-based registry of birth defects in the area for health care and research purposes.
