Abstract
Despite a sharp increase in the use of the waterpipe (WP) has been noted recently in Iran, no information is available for the smoking behavior and topography parameters. The present study is intended to obtain the inhalation and smoking topography parameters for the Iranian WP smokers. The smoking data collected from 122 smoking sessions, including 192 WP smokers in the Iranian Fars province have been used to perform smoking topography assessments. The influence of demographic and smoking parameters on puffing data is obtained. Results have indicated that gender and tobacco type strongly affect puff volume and duration. Women smokers inhale smaller volume of smoke than men and puff duration is significantly increased for regular smokers than occasional smokers. However, the results of the present study have not revealed a major effect of age, residence and setting on the puffing behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ocrelizumab is a humanized antiCD20, thought to be a highly effective disease-modifying therapy (DMT). Its most frequent adverse effects are infusion-related reactions (IRRs). To reduce these reactions, the first dose of ocrelizumab is administered as two 300 mg infusions separated by two weeks. However, in the phase II trial of ocrelizumab, severe IRRs were not significantly different between two doses of 600 mg dose (two separate 300 mg doses) and 2000 mg dose (two separate 1000 mg doses). We compared the IRRs in undivided full (one 600 mg) and divided (two 300 mg) doses of ocrelizumab which is the standard protocol. METHODS MS patients (relapsing or primary progressive MS) who are selected to receive ocrelizumab by neurologist or MS fellowship were enrolled in an open-label randomized controlled trial. Iranian biosimilar of the drug (Xacrel® by Cinnagen, approved by the Iranian Food and Drug Administration in 2021) was used. The participants received the first dose of ocrelizumab as either one 600 mg dose in one session or two 300 mg doses in two weeks apart. IRRs during or in the first 24 h after infusion were recorded. RESULTS Of 332 participants, 150 received two 300 mg doses, and 182 received one 600 mg dose (by random selection). Life-threatening adverse effects were not observed in both groups. Overnight admission or permanent drug discontinuation was not needed. Temporary drug discontinuation was significantly higher in the one 600 mg dose group (p-value < 0.001). During the infusions, malaise (p-value: 0.003), skin reactions (p-value: 0.04), throat swelling (p-value: 0.03), and dyspnea (p-value: 0.01) were significantly increased in the intervention group. However, in the first 24 h, there was no significant difference between two different treatment protocols (one 600 mg dose or two 300 mg doses) in the onset of IRRS (p-value: 0.12). CONCLUSION These findings suggest one 600 mg dose of ocrelizumab administration for the first dose is relatively safe. With some protocol modifications, it could lead to fewer patient referrals, saving time and cost and improvement the access for patients.

Abstract
Background Diet and inflammation both play important roles in the occurrence of obesity. We aimed to investigate the role of inflammation in the development of both metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO) individuals. Methods This cross-sectional study included 221 overweight and obese women aged 18-56 years. The study assessed the metabolic health phenotypes of the participants using the Karelis criterion score. Additionally, dietary intakes were evaluated using a 147-item semi-quantitative questionnaire and the NOVA classification system (comprising 37 food groups and beverages). The study also collected and analyzed the blood parameters, as well as biochemical and anthropometric indices, for all participants. Results Among the women included in the study, 22.9% had MHO phenotypes but 77.1% had MUHO phenotypes. A significant association between the third quartile of the NOVA classification system and the increased likelihood of having the MUHO phenotype was observed (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.09-4.92, p = 0.04). Regarding the potential role of inflammatory markers, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (p = 0.84), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) (p = 0.50), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) (p = 0.49), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (p = 0.97), and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p = 0.92) were found to be mediators. Conclusion We observed a significant positive association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and the MUHO phenotype in overweight and obese women. This association appeared to be mediated by some inflammatory markers, such as hs-CRP, TGF-β, MCP-1, PAI-1, and HOMA-IR. Additional studies are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to assess potential associations of habitual dietary pattern scores in relation to the risk of pre-diabetes (Pre-DM) progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or the chance of returning to normal glycemia. METHODS This cohort study included 334 Pre-DM individuals (mean age of 49.4 years, and 51.5% men) who participated in the third phase of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (2006-2008) and followed up for a median of 9 years. A validated food frequency questionnaire at baseline assessed usual intakes of the participants. Major dietary patterns were identified using principal component analysis. The DASH score and Mediterranean diet score (MDS) were also calculated. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) of developing T2DM and returning to normal glycemia in relation to dietary pattern scores. RESULTS During the study follow-up, 39.8% progressed to T2DM, and 39.8% returned to normal glycemia. Three following major dietary patterns, including Western-style (with a higher load of red meats, hydrogenated fats, sodium, and total fat intakes), healthy pattern (with a higher load of whole grains, vegetables, and dairy products), and processed-foods pattern (with a higher load of processed-meats, fast-foods, salty snakes, and sweets and candies) were identified. The Western-style dietary pattern increased the risk of progressing to T2DM by 38% (OR = 1.38; 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.89, P = 0.050). Other dietary pattern scores were not related to regression or progression from Pre-DM. CONCLUSION The Western-style dietary pattern (characterized by higher load of red meats, hydrogenated fats, sodium intake, and high-GI foods) may accelerate the progression of Pre-DM to T2DM.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major concern today. Herbal medicine is one helping way to control CVD risks. One conclusive of herbal medicine is Berberine (BBR) and converse about it still exists, to clarify this issue, this meta-analysis was performed. PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for RCTs in adults on the effect of BBR supplementation on CVD risk factors up to July 2022. The pooled results showed BBR significantly reduced triglyceride (WMD = -23.70 mg/dl; 95%CI -30.16, -17.25; P < 0.001), total cholesterol (WMD = -20.64 mg/dl; 95%CI -23.65, -17.63; P < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein WMD = -9.63 mg/dl; 95%CI, -13.87, -5.39; P < 0.001), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (WMD = -7.74 mg/dl; 95%CI -10.79, -4.70; P < 0.001), insulin (WMD = -3.27 mg/dl; 95%CI -4.46,-2.07; P < 0.001), HbA1c (WMD = -0.45%; 95%CI -0.68, -0.23; P < 0.001), HOMA-IR (WMD = -1.04; 95%CI -1.55, -0.52; P < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (WMD = -5.46 mmHg; 95%CI -8.17, -2.76; P < 0.001), weight (WMD = -0.84; 95%CI -1.34,-0.34; P < 0.001), body mass index (WMD = -0.25 kg/m2; 95%CI -0.46, -0.04; P = 0.020), while increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (WMD = 1.37 mg/dl; 95%CI 0.41,2.23; P = 0.005). The optimal dose of BBR was 1 g/day for TG, TC, and weight, 1.8 g/day for insulin and HOMA-IR, and 5 g/day for HDL. FBG's most efficient time frame was 40 weeks from the beginning of supplementation, whereas DBP and waist circumference was 50 weeks. In conclusion, the lipid profile, FBG balance, obesity parameters, and SBP were improved with BBR supplementation. Systematic review registration CRD42022347004.

Abstract
Appetite control has attracted many scientists' attention recently since it can lead to weight management and the prevention of further metabolic disorders. Many studies have been carried out to assess the effect of flaxseed on satiety perception but the results are controversial. This study aims to review these results comprehensively. PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched for related papers on June 2021. The searched keywords for appetite were: visual analog scale, appetite, desire to eat, satiation, satiety, hunger, fullness, and for Flaxseed they were: flax, flax*, linseed*, lignin*, Linseed Oil, flaxseed, ground flaxseed, flaxseed oil, and Linum usitatissimum. The 13 included studies were inconsistent in results and some of them found no significant effect of flaxseed on the considered outcomes. However, three studies revealed a significant reduction in hunger perception as well as appetite. Moreover, two studies found a decreasing effect on prospective consumption. Three studies observed a positive significant effect on fullness and satiety. Although there are a limited number of documents related to the effect of flaxseed on appetite perception, or its equivalent terms, the available studies suggest the potential role of flaxseed in decreasing appetite and hunger.

Abstract
Background Among candidate genes related to type 2 diabetes (T2DM), one of the strongest genes is Transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2), regarding the Genome-Wide Association Studies. We aimed to conduct a systematic review of the literature on the modification effect of TCF7L2 on the relation between glycemic parameters and lifestyle factors. Methods A systematic literature search was done for relevant publications using electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science, from January 1, 2000, to November 2, 2021. Results Thirty-eight studies (16 observational studies, six meal test trials, and 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs)) were included. Most observational studies had been conducted on participants with non-diabetes showing that TCF7L2 modified the association between diet (fatty acids and fiber) and insulin resistance. In addition, findings from meal test trials showed that, compared to non-risk-allele carriers, consumption of meals with different percentages of total dietary fat in healthy risk-allele carriers increased glucose concentrations and impaired insulin sensitivity. However, ten RCTs, with intervention periods of less than ten weeks and more than one year, showed that TCF7L2 did not modify glycemic parameters in response to a dietary intervention involving different macronutrients. However, two weight loss dietary RCTs with more than 1-year duration showed that serum glucose and insulin levels decreased and insulin resistance improved in non-risk allele subjects with overweight/obesity. Regarding artichoke extract supplementation (ALE), two RCTs observed that ALE supplementation significantly decreased insulin concentration and improved insulin resistance in the TT genotype of the rs7903146 variant of TCF7L2. In addition, four studies suggested that physical activity levels and smoking status modified the association between TCF7L2 and glycemic parameters. However, three studies observed no effect of TCF7L2 on glycemic parameters in participants with different levels of physical activity and smoking status. Conclusion The modification effects of TCF7L2 on the relation between the lifestyle factors (diet, physical activity, and smoking status) and glycemic parameters were contradictory.

Abstract
Background: Obesity and overweight are important public health problems which are rapidly growing throughout the world. This study aims to provide 10-year incidence estimates of obesity and overweight in adults along with their risk factors in an Iranian adult population.
Methods: This cohort study was conducted within the framework of the Yazd Healthy Heart Project (YHHP) throughout phases from 2005-2006 to 2015-2016 among urban adult population. The participants comprised of 1000 males and 1000 females aged 20-74 years from urban areas of Yazd. Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the potential risk factors for obesity and overweight.
Results: A total of 2000 participants aged 47.09 ± 16.97 years and body mass index (BMI) of 21.99 ± 2.21 kg/m2 were entered in this study at baseline. After 10 years of follow-up, the cumulative incidence of overweight for the entire population was 38.6% (41.6% in women and 36.8% in men). Furthermore, the 10-year cumulative incidence of obesity was 14.8% in the population (20.8% for women and 10.5% for men). Female participants showed a significantly higher incidence rate compared to males either for obesity or overweight. Regarding risk factors, there was a significant association between non-smoking (HR= 1.54, 95% CI: 1.06-2.25), socio-economic status (HR= 1.82, 95% CI: 1.13-2.94), and education (HR= 1.56, 95% CI: 1.14-2.13) with overweight (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: This study revealed the incidence rate of obesity and overweight is significantly high in adult population of Yazd, Iran especially in women. The most important predictors of overweight seem to be smoking, lower socio-economic status, and education.

Abstract
Background The waiting list for heart transplants is a valuable data registry that would offer very useful information on the characteristics of patients who have various outcomes while waiting in the list. Objective The purpose of this study was to look at the prognosis of those waiting for heart transplants as well as the factors that increase mortality. Methods Advanced heart failure patients' demographic, clinical, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic results, as well as their prognosis, were retrieved from the national registry for heart transplantation between 2011 and 2018. The study population was defined and compared in four groups: 1) Death while awaiting HTX, 2) Death after HTX, 3) Alive without a transplant, 4) Transplanted and alive. Results The data of 207 patients [75% male, mean (SD) age of 34(10) years] were analyzed. The most common etiology of heart failure was idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. A total of 86 patients (41%) were successfully transplanted, with a median (IQR) time between listing and transplantation of 84 (30¬219) days, 54 patients (26.1%) were dead and 32% were still alive. The multivariate analysis showed right atrial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, cardiac index, and systolic blood pressure at the time of listing as independent predictors of death. Conclusion The study on HTX waiting list is very useful for both allocation strategies and administrative planning for patients with advanced heart failure by development of accurate models and scoring systems using predictors of death in the waiting list.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The last 30 years have witnessed major improvements in understanding of all aspects of infective endocarditis (IE). The Iranian Registry of Infective Endocarditis (IRIE) was formed to address epidemiological aspects of IE vis-à-vis its main pathogens and underlying heart diseases over a 12-year period. Indeed, a multidisciplinary team (MDT) for IE was developed alongside. METHODS In a longitudinal observational study, data of adult patients with definite or possible IE based on modified Duke criteria were collected from 2007 to 2016 in our tertiary centre, Iran. From 2016 until 2019, we run a prospective observational study using formation of an IE MDT to provide better patient management and compared data before and after this. RESULTS Totally, 645 patients with mean age of 48 ± 17 years were enrolled. Data of 445 and 200 patients were compared before and after IRIE and MDT formation, respectively. We found significantly reduced type and number of applied antibiotics (p = 0.04) and higher rate of positive blood culture (p = 0.001). Hospital length of stay increased significantly after formation of the IRIE and IE MDT (p = 0.02). The rate of heart failure, new abscess formation and cerebral emboli were significantly decreased after IRIE and IE MDT (p < 0.001) and consequently in-hospital mortality reduced significantly (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION Developing national registries and MDTs has potential to enhance patient management and reduce IE burden. Our results demonstrated that establishment of the Iranian IRIE and IE MDT conferred better diagnoses, standardised treatments and significantly reduced cardiac and extra cardiac morbidity.

Abstract
Two ways to deliver ultrasmall gold nanoparticles and gold-bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoclusters to the colon were developed. First, oral administration is possible by incorporation into gelatin capsules that were coated with an enteric polymer. These permit the transfer across the stomach whose acidic environment damages many drugs. The enteric coating dissolves due to the neutral pH of the colon and releases the capsule's cargo. Second, rectal administration is possible by incorporation into hard-fat suppositories that melt in the colon and then release the nanocarriers. The feasibility of the two concepts was demonstrated by in-vitro release studies and cell culture studies that showed the easy redispersibility after dissolution of the respective transport system. This clears a pathway for therapeutic applications of drug-loaded nanoparticles to address colon diseases, such as chronic inflammation and cancer.

Abstract
We reported a simple and sensitive colorimetric assay for detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) based on the oxidation of 2,2׳-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) by UV-Vis spectroscopy method. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared using green tea extract as bio-reducing and stabilizer agent and decorated by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The surface of Au interface was modified with HRP-rGO hybrid. The formation of HRP-rGO hybrid was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Raman spectroscopy·H2O2 can be catalysed by HRP-rGO hybrid and converted into water and oxygen. The ABTS substrate takes up oxygen to form a green coloured product that has absorption peaks at 421, 655 nm and 737 nm. The colour development is linearly dependent on HRP in the range of 4-50 µg/L. The color of the green product solution is stable for 20 min. The absorption intensity is strongly related to the hydrogen peroxide concentration. The absorption intensity of the formed product scaled linearly with the hydrogen peroxide concentration in the ranges of 0.3-20 µM and 20-8000 µM with a detection limit of ≈15 nM could be achieved. The biosensor with excellent limit detection and wide linear ranges was adapted to monitor H2O2 in different beverages.

Abstract
Ultrasmall silver nanoparticles were prepared by reduction with NaBH4 and surface-terminated with glutathione (GSH). The particles had a solid core diameter of 2 nm as shown by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). NMR-DOSY gave a hydrodynamic diameter of 2 to 2.8 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that silver is bound to the thiol group of the central cysteine in glutathione under partial oxidation to silver(+I). In turn, the thiol group is deprotonated to thiolate. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) together with Rietveld refinement confirmed a twinned (polycrystalline) fcc structure of ultrasmall silver nanoparticles with a lattice compression of about 0.9% compared to bulk silver metal. By NMR spectroscopy, the interaction between the glutathione ligand and the silver surface was analyzed, also with 13C-labeled glutathione. The adsorbed glutathione is fully intact and binds to the silver surface via cysteine. In situ 1H NMR spectroscopy up to 85 °C in dispersion showed that the glutathione ligand did not detach from the surface of the silver nanoparticle, i.e. the silver-sulfur bond is remarkably strong. The ultrasmall nanoparticles had a higher cytotoxicity than bigger particles in in vitro cell culture with HeLa cells with a cytotoxic concentration of about 1 μg mL-1 after 24 h incubation. The overall stoichiometry of the nanoparticles was about Ag∼250GSH∼155.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function is essential in the follow up of patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Role of advance echocardiography including 3D transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE) for evaluation of 3D RV function and RV longitudinal strain in predicting prognosis in ARVC patients, has not been well investigated.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate 3DTTE parameters in predicting major advance cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as ventricular arrhythmia, cardiac hospitalization, heart transplantation, and death in ARVC patients.
Methods
Forty-eight definite ARVC subjects based on the 2010 Task force criteria were evaluated with standard 2D transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) and 3DTTE. Patients with poor image quality were excluded. RV function was evaluated by 2D and 3D TTE including: fractional area change (FAC), RV global and free wall longitudinal strain (RV2DGLS and RV2DFWLS) and 3D RV ejection fraction (RV3DEF), RV global and free wall longitudinal strain (RV3DGLS, and RV3DFWLS). The patients were followed up for a median period of 12 months (6–18 months) to record MACE.
Results
Forty-eight patients with mean age =38.5±14 years; 79.2% male, and mean RV3DEF =30.33%, were included. During the mean follow up 12 months, 12 patients (25%, with mean RV3DEF = 24.8±9%) experienced MACE whereas mean RV3EF in patient without any cardiovascular events during follow up was 34.21±9%. The most common causes of hospitalization were arrhythmia, right-sided heart failure, and RV clot as the following: Ventricular arrhythmia in 7 patients (14.6%, with mean RV3DEF = 29.01±8.82%), RV clot in 2 cases (4.2%, with mean RV3DEF = 20.2%), right-sided heart failure in 3 patients (6.3%, with mean RV3DEF = 16.83±3.6%) that 2 of them (2.1%, with mean RV3DEF = 14.58±0.63) underwent heart transplantation.
Logistic regression analysis revealed RV3DTTE (p-value = 0.03, OR=0.90, CI: 0.82–0.99), RV3DGLS (p-value = 0.05, OR=1.27, CI: 0.99–1.61) and RV3DFWLS (p-value = 0.01, OR=1.29, CI: 1.05–1.59), predicted cardiac adverse events, but there were no significant association between RV2DGLS, RV2DEWLS and FAC with MACE.
Conclusion
RV3DEF, RV3DGLS, and RV3DFWLS were powerful predictors of morbidity and mortality and can be useful as a valuable method in the prediction of major cardiovascular complications in ARVC patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The role of the non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants has here been scarcely studied In patients undergoing mitral valve repair (MVre).
Methods
In the present mixed cohort study, the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban (prospective analysis) were compared with those of warfarin (retrospective analysis) in patients undergoing MVre.
Results
Study flow chart were presented In Figure. Dissimilarities in baseline characteristics necessitated propensity score matching, in which 104 patients in each group were compared. No major bleeding or cerebrovascular accident occurred during the 1-year follow-up. Clinically relevant non-major bleeding was reported in 2 patients in the rivaroxaban group and 4 patients in the warfarin group, a difference non-statistically significant before and after propensity score matching (P=0.371 and P=0.407, respectively). The type of anticoagulation did not predict the 1-year outcome (HR: 2.165, 95% CI: 0.376 to 12.460; P=0.387).
Conclusion
In this mixed cohort study, rivaroxaban was both safe and efficient in patients with MVre. Such preliminary results should prompt larger randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Background: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or microinjection is one of the most commonly used assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in the treatment of patients with infertility problems. At each stage of this treatment cycle, many dependent and independent variables may affect the results, according to which, estimating the accuracy of fertility rate for physicians will be difficult Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of artificial neural networks (ANN) and principal component analysis (PCA) to predict results of infertility treatment in the ICSI method Material and Methods: In the present research that is an analytical study, multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural networks were designed and evaluated to predict results of infertility treatment using the ICSI method. In addition, the PCA method was used before the process of training the neural network for extracting information from data and improving the efficiency of generated models. The network has 11 to 17 inputs and 2 outputs. Results: The area under ROC curve (AUC) values were derived from modeling the results of the ICSI technique for the test data and the total data. The AUC for total data vary from 0.7670 to 0.9796 for two neurons, 0.9394 to 0.9990 for three neurons and 0.9540 to 0.9906 for four neurons in hidden layers Conclusion: The proposed MLP neural network can model the specialist performance in predicting treatment results with a high degree of accuracy and reliability

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A successful family physician program needs ongoing and full cooperation between people and the organizations in charge. Ensuring the satisfaction of family physicians through improvement of the underlying factors could motivate them to provide high-quality services. This study aimed to determine the family physicians' satisfaction level with the factors affecting the dynamism of the urban family physicians program in the Fars and Mazandaran provinces of Iran. METHOD This cross-sectional study was carried out in urban areas in the Fars and Mazandaran provinces in 2016. The sample consisted of 143 and 96 family physicians, respectively, in Fars and Mazandaran provinces and was selected using the stratified random sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire and included both sociodemographic variables and factors assessing the family physicians' satisfaction levels. Each factor was scored based on a Likert scale from 0 to 5 points, and any satisfaction level higher than 3 out of 5 was equated with being satisfied. RESULTS The overall satisfaction levels among family physicians in Fars and Mazandaran provinces were 2.77±0.53 and 3.37±0.56, respectively, revealing a statistically significant difference between provinces (p<0.001). Moreover, the mean satisfaction scores for the performances of healthcare centers, insurance companies, specialists, healthcare workers, and the population covered were 2.78±0.1, 2.54±0.9, 2.52±0.8, 4.24±0.07, and 2.96±0.8, respectively. The family physicians' levels of satisfaction were significantly correlated with population size (p=0.02, r= -0.106), and willingness to stay in an urban family physician program (p<0.001, r= +0.398). CONCLUSION This study revealed that family physicians exhibited a low level of satisfaction with the urban family physician program. Given the direct association between family physicians' satisfaction levels and retention in the program, it is expected that family physicians will no longer stay in the program, and it is likely to have subsequent executive problems.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is frequently associated with mutations in genes coding for desmosomal proteins. In this study, we investigated the association of genetic status with ARVC progression as defined by echocardiographic parameters.
Methods
We tested 62 ARVC patients for their genetic profile. Accordingly, they were grouped in mutation positive (48 (77%) patients; median age 48.5 years; 33 (69%) males), and mutation negative (14 (23%) patients; median age 45 years; 10 (71%) males). Prevalent mutations were Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) in 16 (26%), Desmoplakin (DSP) in 14 (23%), and Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) in 9 (15%) patients.
Results
At baseline, there were no significant differences in clinical characteristics between the two groups. Patients were followed-up for a median time period of 1420 days, and there was no significant difference in the duration of follow-up between the two groups (p=0.05).
In the mutation positive group, there was a significant increase in right ventricular end-diastolic area (p=0.002), right atrial short (p=0.008) and long (p=0.002) diameter, left atrial diameter (p=0.014), and a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (p=0.014) during follow up. Right ventricular functial parameters did not change significantly (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion: p=0.24; fractional area change: p=0.088).
In the mutation negative group, none of the aforementioned echocardiographic findings exhibited any significant difference during follow-up: right ventricular end-diastolic area (p=0.1); right atrial short (p=0.7) and long (p=0.9) diameter, left atrial diameter (p=0.6), and left ventricular ejection fraction (p=0.3). Similarly, right ventricular functional parameters did not change significantly (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion: p=0.77; fractional area change: p=0.80. Results are summarized in the figure.
Change in echocardiographic findings.
Conclusions
There is a strong association between echocardiographic progression of ARVC phenotype and the presence of a pathogenic mutation. Such mutations should be searched in all patients with an ARVC phenotype, and mutation positive individuals should be followed-up in shorter intervals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder through which patients suffer from recurrent bleeding. This can be caused by a defect in human plasma coagulation factor VIII. High incidence of FVIII inhibitors in some severe hemophilia A patients after FVIII therapy is a considerable complication. Determination of good predictive factors can improve the safety of this treatment. HLA-II have been shown as a predictive element for inhibitor development. The goal of this study is to determine the association between HLA-DRB1*15:03, HLA-DRB1*11 and HLA-DRB1*01:01 alleles and FVIII inhibitors in severe hemophilia A patients in Iran. MATERIALS/METHODS HLA-DRB1 genotyping was performed using Multiplex sequences Specific Primers (PCR-SSP) in two groups of severe hemophilia A patients comprising 51 and 50 individuals with and without FVIII inhibitors respectively. The levels of inhibitor were determined through Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay. HLA-DRB1 allele frequencies were compared between groups by using multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS HLA-DRB1*01:01 allele frequency was significantly higher in patients without inhibitor ORadj: 2.7 (95%CI: 1.08, 6.97; P = 0.034). There wasn't any statistically significant difference in HLA-DRB1*11 allele frequency between groups ORadj: 0.7 (95%CI: 0.27, 1.82; P = 0.47). There was no connection between HLA-DRB1*15:03 and inhibitor development ORadj: 0.94 (95%CI: 0.38, 2.35; P = 0.94). CONCLUSION An association between HLA-DRB1*01:01 and paucity of FVIII inhibitor showed that this allele has probably a protective effect in severe hemophilia A patients in Iran. Determination of the predictive and protective alleles are beneficial in pre-treatment activities and decrease the risk of unsuccessful therapy with FVIII in each population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This randomized crossover clinical trial investigated the effects of substituting legumes for meat consumption in the therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) diet on leptin and adiponectin concentrations among type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-one type 2 diabetic patients (24 women, age: 58.1±6.0 years) were randomly assigned to groups designated to consume a legume-free TLC diet or a legume-based TLC diet for 8 weeks. Both diets were similar except for the replacement of two servings of red meat with legumes 3 days per week in the legume-based TLC group. Leptin and adiponectin concentrations were measured at baseline and after the 8-week intervention. RESULTS The legume-based TLC diet significantly increased adiponectin concentrations in comparison with the legume-free TLC diet. There was no significant change in leptin concentrations after both intervention diets. CONCLUSIONS Legumes increased serum adiponectin concentrations in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mutations in the LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes are known to cause FH. In this study, we analysed the genetic spectrum of the disease in subjects from the Iranian population with a clinical diagnosis of FH. Samples were collected from 16 children and family members from five different cities of Iran. Probands were screened for mutations in the LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes using next generation sequencing, with results confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The likely pathology of identified variants was examined using in silico tools. Of the probands, 14 had a clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH and two of heterozygous FH. No mutations were found in either APOB or PCSK9, but nine probands were homozygous for seven different LDLR mutations, with p.(Trp577Arg) occurring in three and p.Val806Glyfs*11 occurring in two patients. Two mutations were novel: p.(Leu479Gln) and p.(Glu668*). Seven probands with a clinical diagnosis of FH were mutation negative. This pilot study, integrating clinical and molecular-based techniques, begins to elucidate the FH heterogeneity and the mutation spectrum in the Iranian population. Such information is important for future disease management and cost savings.

Abstract
Background It has been reported that thyroglobulin antibody are more frequently elevated in patients with thyroid cancercompared to general population. This study aims at evaluating whether preoperative thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels increase the likelihood that a thyroid nodule is malignant. Methods A retrospective review of 586 patients who underwent thyroidectomy was conducted. Demographic data, TgAb levels, and final histopathology were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups: TgAb positive (defined as TgAb ≥ 30 IU/ml) and TgAb low/negative (defined as TgAb < 30). Results Preoperative TgAb levels were available in 405 patients. There were 353 (87 %) patients in the TgAblow/negative group (malignancy rate: 50.42 %) and 52 (13 %) patients in the TgAb positive group (malignancy rate: 65.38 %). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of TgAb ≥ 30 IU/ml for thyroid malignancy were 16.04 %, 90.67 %, 65.38 % and 49.58 %, respectively. The relative risk of having a malignant thyroid nodule when the TgAb titers were≥30 IU/ml was 1.30 (CI1.04-1.62) and the odds ratio was 1.86 (CI 1.01-3.41). Both the Pearson chi-square test (p = 0.024) and Fisher’s exact test (p = 0.017) yielded statistical significance between the two groups. Conclusions In this study, patients with preoperative TgAb ≥ 30 IU/ml had a higher rate of malignancy when compared topatients with TgAb < 30 IU/ml. This suggests that an elevated TgAb level may indicate that a thyroid nodule is at an increased risk for malignancy.

Abstract
Previous studies on type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Islamic Republic of Iran were mainly performed in provinces with large populations. This study determined the prevalence and risk factors of diabetes mellitus in an adult population (40-80 years old) from Yazd district. Multistage, systematic cluster random sampling was used in a crosssectional, population-based survey. Demographic, clinical and anthropometric data were collected, with diabetes defined as fasting blood sugar ≥ 7 mmol/L or a positive medical history of diabetes. The age- and sex-standardized prevalence of diabetes in 2090 individuals participants was 24.5% (95% CI: 22.2-26.8%), including 10.5% new cases. For each year of ageing, the prevalence of diabetes increased significantly by 4% and this trend was more pronounced in females than males. Low education and hypertension were significantly associated with diabetes prevalence. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Yazd is greater than the average levels nationwide and those of nearby countries.

Abstract
AIM Obesity-induced chronic inflammation is a key component of the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Mounting evidence has demonstrated anti-inflammatory characteristics for vitamin D. Although analogues of vitamin D3 have extensively been used in the treatment of various chronic inflammatory diseases, to our knowledge, no such research is conducted in regards with obesity. The aim of this double blind clinical trial study is to investigate whether alphacalcidol treatment in obese subjects can affect the cytokine profile and insulin resistance. Moreover, we evaluated the pathways of vitamin D receptor (VDR), PPARγ and PGC1α gene expressions which may lead to insulin resistance following treatment with either alphacalcidol or placebo. METHODS A total of 94 obese participants (BMI≥30) were recruited for the current double blind clinical trial study. Patients were divided into two intervention (N.=40) and control groups (N.=54) based on the stratified randomized method. One-Alpha® Capsules 1 microgram: alfacalcidol (1-α hydroxyvitamin D3) and placebo were given to subjects once a day for 8 weeks. Analysis of body composition was performed with use of Body Composition Analyzer. The circulating levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, PTH, and 25-Hydroxy Vi-tamin D were measured with the use of EIA method. The PBMCs were separated from whole blood by Ficoll-hypaque technique. Total cellular RNA was extracted and the cDNA was synthesized. The real-time PCR using specific primer pairs for VDR, PGC1α, PPARγ, and β-actin was performed. RESULTS The FPG, fat percent and PTH levels were decreased and the levels of HDL-cholesterol and 25-hydroxy vitamin D were significantly increased after treatment with Alfacalcidol. Regarding to cytokines levels, the levels of IL6 were significantly decreased and IL10 were significantly increased in Alfacalcidol group in comparison with the control group. The relative expressions of VDR, PGC1α, and PPARγ genes significantly increased in Alfacalcidol group. We found also significant positive correlation between circulating 25-OH vitamin D and relative PGC1α gene expression in participants with insulin resistance. CONCLUSION It seems that Alfacalcidol treatment may be effective in amelioration of the inflammatory state in obesity. This supplement might also improve resistance to insulin through enhancement of relative VDR and its downstream genes expression, which are demonstrated to be involved in glucose homeostasis pathways.
