Abstract
BACKGROUND Perivalvular and valve involvement are prevalent in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), especially in younger patients compared with normal population. Kidney transplantation improves the prognosis of these patients. Patients with cardiac valvular disease is also be improved following kidney transplantation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of renal transplantation on the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR). METHODS We studied 95 kidney transplantation candidates in Sina Hospital. The patients underwent echocardiography preoperatively and at the 3rd, 6th, and 12th months post-operatively. RESULTS Pre-operatively, the average MR fraction was 30%; MR volume 30 mL/beat; mitral valve mean gradient 1.8 mm Hg; mitral valve area 4.6 cm2; and mitral annular size 3 cm. No significant difference was observed among the measurements made at the 3rd, 6th, and 12th months post-operatively. CONCLUSION There was no significant association between the variables measured pre- and post-operatively. The reason might be the fact that patients with ESRD in Iran do not have to expect long transplant waiting lists and dialysis cannot affect their heart adversely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reperfusion injury and the acid-base status of the transplant are important factors affecting post-transplantation graft function. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that infusing hypertonic saline (HS) or tight control of acid-base status of the blood rushing through renal graft using sodium bicarbonate may have beneficial effects on early graft function. METHODS Candidates for deceased-donor kidney transplant were randomized into three groups. HS group (n=33) received 50 mL/kg normal saline (NS) titrated during operation plus 4 mL/kg of 5% HS just within graft reperfusion phase; bicarbonate group (n=37) was administered 60 mL/kg NS while their metabolic acidosis (base excess ≤5 mEq/L) was tightly corrected every 30 min with sodium bicarbonate; and a control group (n=36) that received 60 mL/kg normal saline while they were administered sodium bicarbonate only, if they encountered severe metabolic acidosis (base excess ≤15 mEq/L). The primary outcome was defined as early post-operative renal function evaluated based on serial serum creatinine levels. The study was registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT2013122815841N19). RESULTS Post-operative early graft function improved significantly during the first 3 days in the intervention groups (p<0.05). However, that beneficial effect no longer remained at the same level after the day four. CONCLUSION Timely administration of HS or tight control of metabolic acidosis with sodium bicarbonate infusion improve early renal function during renal transplant surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychological resilience is associated with an improved capacity to cope with chronic health challenges such as cardiovascular disease. AIMS The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between psychological resilience and symptoms of depression in a non-acute cardiac outpatient population. METHODS A total of 419 adult cardiac outpatients (288 men; mean±SD age 66.26±14.04 years) attending cardiovascular clinics completed the Sense of Coherence (SOC13) scale as a measure of psychological resilience and the Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS26) prior to their consultation. RESULTS The total SOC13 score (mean±SD 64.02±14.24, range 19-91) was within the moderate range. Older patients (⩾65 years) were significantly more resilient than those aged <65 ( p<0.01). Psychological resilience (SOC13) was negatively correlated with depression (CDS26) ( r=-0.79; p<0.001) and inversely associated with affective, cognitive and somatic symptoms of depression. Psychological resilience, particularly meaningfulness, accounted for more of the variance in affective features of depression than for somatic features. CONCLUSION These findings show that low psychological resilience was related to depression in this cohort of cardiac outpatients, particularly affective symptoms such as anhedonia and hopelessness. The SOC13 scale offers a complementary measure of psychological status that could be used to monitor, and possibly predict, patient coping and response to treatment throughout the cardiovascular disease trajectory.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation on IL-6, hs-CRP, FBS, anthropometric indices, food intake and blood pressure in male patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). SETTING Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. METHODS Fifty-eight men with chronic SCI participated in the study. Participants were divided in two groups: one group received 600 mg of supplemental ALA (n=28) and the other group received placebo (n=30) for 12 weeks. At the beginning and end of the study, biochemical parameters, anthropometric indices, blood pressure and dietary intakes were measured. Dietary intake was measured using N4 software, and statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS16. RESULTS No significant reduction was found in IL-6 (P=0.97) and hs-CRP levels (P=0.23). There was significant reduction in fasting blood sugar (P=0.001), body weight (P=0.001), BMI (P=0.001), waist circumference (P=0.001) and blood pressure (P=0.001). Dietary intake was significantly reduced, including fat (P=0.001), carbohydrate (P=0.001), protein (P=0.002) and energy intakes (P=0.001). CONCLUSION Lipoic acid supplementation had no significant effect on the measured inflammatory markers but it reduces fasting blood sugar, anthropometric parameters, food intake and blood pressure in men with chronic SCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine a cut-off point of tPSA and PSAD to prevent unnecessary invasive cancer-diagnosing tests in the community. METHODS This study was performed on 688 consecutive patients referred to our center due to prostatism, suspicious lesions on digital rectal examination and/or elevated serum PSA levels. All patients underwent transrectal ultrasound guided biopsies and obtained PSAD. Serum levels of tPSA and fPSA were measured by chemiluminescence. Comparisons were done using tests of accuracy (AUC-ROC). RESULTS Prostate cancer was detected in 334 patients, whereas the other 354 patients were suffering from benign prostate diseases. The mean tPSA in case and control groups were 28.32±63.62 ng/ml and 7.14±10.04 ng/ml; the mean f/tPSA ratios were 0.13± 0.21 and 0.26±0.24 in PCa and benign prostate disease groups; the mean PSAD rates were 0.69±2.24, 0.12±0.11, respectively. Statistically significant differences were found (P <0.05). Using ROC curve analysis, it was revealed that AUC was 0.78 for tPSA and 0.80 for f/tPSA. Sensitivity was 71% for the cut-off value of 7.85ng/ml. For f/tPSA ratio, the optimal cut-off value was 0.13 which produced the sensitivity of 81.4% and for PSAD, it was15%. CONCLUSIONS As this trial is different from the European and American values, we should be more cautious in dealing with the prostate cancer upon the obtained sensitivity and specificity for PCa diagnosis (7.85ng/mL for tPSA, 15% for PSAD and 0.13 for f/tPSA ratio).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wound healing disorders are probably the most common post-transplantation surgical complications. It is thought that wound healing disturbance occurs due to antiproliferative effects of immunosuppressive drugs. On the other hand, success of transplantation is dependent on immunosuppressive therapies. Antihuman thymocyte globulin (ATG) has been widely used as induction therapy but the impact of this treatment on wound healing is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE To investigate wound healing complications after ATG therapy in renal transplant recipients. METHODS The medical records of 333 kidney transplant recipients were assessed for wound healing disorders. Among these patients, 92 received ATG and 5 doses of 1.5 mg/kg ATG along with the standard protocol of drugs. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 38.9 years. Of 333 recipients, 92 (23.7%) received ATG; 21 (6.3%) developed wound healing complications. There was a significant relationship between ATG therapy and wound complications (p=0.034). Also, women were more likely to develop wound healing disorders than men (p=0.002). No statistical difference was observed between age and wound healing complication (p=0.28). There was no significant difference between the mean duration of hospitalization between ATG and Non-ATG group (p=0.9). CONCLUSION ATG increases the risk of overall wound complications. It is needed to pay more attention to the patients treated with this immunosuppressant to avoid the risk of re-interventions, lessen the duration of hospitalization and decrease the impairment of graft function.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressively debilitating disease that affects mostly cartilage, with associated changes in the bone. Increasing incidence of OA and the aging population coupled with insufficient therapeutic choices has led to focus on the potential of stem cells as a novel strategy for cartilage repair. In this study, we used scaffold free mesenchymal stem cells obtained from infrapatellar fat pad in an experimental animal model of OA by direct intraarticular injection. Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from a 2.8kg White New Zealand rabbit. The cells were expanded and grown in vitro. OA was induced by unilaterally anterior cruciate ligament transection of knee joints. Twelve weeks after operation, a single dose of 1 million cells suspended in 1ml of medium was delivered to the injured knee by direct intraarticular injection. Control group received 1ml of medium without cells. The knees were examined after sixteen and twenty weeks from the surgery. Repairing was investigated radiologically, grossly and histologically using haematoxylin and eosin, Safranin-O and toluidine blue staining. Radiological assessment confirmed development of OA changes after 12 weeks. Rabbits receiving mesenchymal stem cells showed lower degree of cartilage degeneration, osteophyte formation, and Subchondral sclerosis than control group at 20 week after surgery. The quality of cartilage was significantly better in cell-treated group compared with control group after 20 weeks. In conclusion, infrapatellar fat pad derived mesenchymal stem cells could be the promising cell sources for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of enterectomy on cellular and biochemical parameters of blood and peritoneal fluid, an experiment was conducted using 10 Iranian crossbred male goats. Ten milliliter of blood and 1-1.5ml of peritoneal fluid were sampled from all animals prior to operation for the estimation of control values. Enterectomy was performed under local anesthesia. Blood and peritoneal fluid samples were collected at 24, 48, 72 and 96h after enterectomy. The results revealed that after enterectomy, the number of WBCs, neutrophils, monocytes and band neutrophils in the blood significantly increased (p<0.05). However, the percent of lymphocytes decreased significantly (p<0.05). The concentrations of glucose and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) significantly increased (p<0.05). Furthermore, following the operation, the number of WBCs and the percent of neutrophils and band neutrophils in the peritoneal fluid significantly increased (p<0.05). In contrast, the percent of lymphocytes and monocytes in the peritoneal fluid decreased significantly (p<0.05). The concentrations of protein and the activities of amylase and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the peritoneal fluid increased significantly (p<0.05). However, the concentration of glucose decreased significantly (p<0.05). This study showed that enterectomy can have profound effects on blood and peritoneal fluid parameters.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of exploratory laparotomy on cellular and biochemical parameters of blood and peritoneal fluid, an experiment was conducted using 10 Iranian cross-bred male goats. Approximately 10 ml of blood and 1-1.5 ml of peritoneal fluid were collected from all animals prior to operation for estimation of control values. Exploratory laparotomy was performed under local analgesia. Blood and peritoneal fluid samples were collected at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after exploratory laparotomy. The results revealed that after exploratory laparotomy, the number of white blood cells and the percentage and absolute number of neutrophils and band neutrophils significantly increased (P < 0.05). However, the percentage of lymphocytes decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The concentrations of blood urea nitrogen significantly increased (P < 0.05). Furthermore, following the operation, the percentage and absolute number of neutrophils in the peritoneal fluid significantly increased (P < 0.05). In contrast, the percentage of lymphocytes in the peritoneal fluid decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The concentration of protein in the peritoneal fluid increased significantly (P < 0.05).

Abstract
A retrospective study of femoral fractures in 77 calves revealed that most occurred in the femoral shaft or in the proximal physis, with thin cortices and periosteal stripping significant problems in fractures of the femoral shaft. Most cases were related to forced extraction, with more left femurs being affected than right. The existence of concurrent disease reduced the success rate by 50% and, when significant additional trauma was present, no calves survived. When all cases were considered regardless of condition, the "longterm" success rate was 43%.

Abstract
The clinical examination of a six month old Holstein-Friesian steer with a history of bloat and anorexia revealed a distended viscus in the right flank. At surgery, the distended viscus was found to be the cecum which was about 1.37 m (4.5 feet) long and more than 30 cm (one foot) in diameter. A counter-clockwise torsion of about 360 degrees (viewing from the right flank) involving the proximal portion of spiral colon was detected. A cecatomy was performed and a large quantity of rapeseed was removed. The torsion was reduced and the animal appeared to make an uneventful recovery but died suddenly six weeks later.
