Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic auditory neuropathy (DAN) is a common complication of diabetes that seriously affects the quality of life in patients. In this study, we investigate the role of folic acid in the treatment of DAN in an experimental rat model. METHODS Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into four groups: group 1, normal; group 2, diabetic rats; and groups 3 and 4, diabetic rats treated with folic acid (40 and 80 mg/kg, respectively). We used some tools to investigate the therapeutic effect of folic acid on DAN. We evaluated auditory brain stem response (ABR), estimated the volume and number of spiral ganglion and the volume of stria vascularis and spiral ligament by the stereological method, and measured the blood levels of homocysteine (HCY), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). RESULTS Our study showed that folic acid treatment was not significantly effective in improving structural and functional disorders in DAN, even though its effectiveness in reducing HCY (P < 0.001) and MDA (P < 0.05) as oxidative biomarkers was significant. CONCLUSION Folic acid is not effective in relieving morphological and functional disorders in DAN.

Abstract
There is no consensus regarding the association between dysphagia and cognition. The aim of this study was to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the available evidence on the direction and strength of the association between dysphagia and cognition. PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for studies about the association between dysphagia and cognition. A random effects model was used to determine weighted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the impact of each individual study on the pooled results. A total of 1427 participants showed that some cognitive disorders were significantly associated with dysphagia (odds ratio = 3.23, 95% confidence interval: 2.33-4.48). The association between cognition and swallowing disorders suggests that multiple neuroanatomical systems are involved in these two functions.

Abstract
Cancer is considered as the most lethal disease for human beings, and up to now many attempts were failed for prevention and treatment of this tremendous health problem. Consequently, this study purpose was to investigate novel therapeutic methods for cancer. The bacterial toxin can result in cell death throughout the induction of apoptosis in cancer cell lines. We evaluated apoptosis and the expression levels of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in PC3, ACHN and HDF cell lines that were transfected with pCDNA3.1(+)-seh and empty plasmid. pCDNA3.1(+)-seh treatment showed overexpression of GAS5 (p = 0.0033 and p = 0.0033) in PC3 and ACHN cells, down regulation of PCA3 and NEAT1 (p = 0.0092 and p = 0.0097) in the PC3 cells, and down regulation of PVT1 and MALAT1 (p = 0.0239 and p = 0.0133) in the ACHN cells in comparison with the empty plasmid, but there was no significant effect on HDF normal cells. Additionally, this study data demonstrated that the cell adhesion was down regulated. The flow cytometry data showed transfection by pCDNA3.1 (+)-seh could elevate PC3 and ACHN cell apoptosis levels in comparison with empty plasmid. This study findings propose that SEH toxin of S. aureus could be a useful candidate for therapeutic researches in cancer vaccine development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The coincidence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and hearing loss in the children has adverse effects in speech, cognition, communication and motor development. This can influence cochlear implant (CI) outcomes negatively. The aim of this study was to compare auditory, language, speech, cognition, communication and motor outcomes between CI children with versus without ADHD. METHODS Nineteen CI children with ADHD and twenty-three age and gender matched children without ADHD at the Shiraz CI center ranging in age from 37 to 60 months were participated in this cross-sectional study. The developmental quotient in auditory, receptive and expressive language, speech and cognition skills was evaluated through Newsha Developmental Scale. The Persian version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) was used to assess children's developmental status in fine and gross movements, communication, problem solving, and personal-social domains. A comparison of the results between two groups was made by the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS CI children with ADHD had significantly lower Newsha developmental quotients in cases of auditory, receptive and expressive language, speech and cognition skills compared to the control group (P = 0.027 to <0.001). A significant difference was observed between children with and without ADHD in fine and gross movements, communication, problem solving, and personal-social domains of ASQ at 60 months (P = 0.029 to 0.003). CONCLUSION Children with ADHD showed decreased ability in auditory, language, speech, cognition, motor and communication skills following CI compared to children without ADHD. It can guide clinician to provide these children with more specific rehabilitation program to improve their skills.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex touchdown PCR (multiplex TD-PCR) for rapid and simultaneous detection of four major foodborne pathogens to avoid mispriming and unwanted production during gene amplification. Touchdown PCR is the modified form of standard PCR, which enhances specificity, sensitivity. METHODS AND RESULTS For this reason, a multiplex TD-PCR assay with a pre-enrichment step was developed to detect four foodborne pathogens namely Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis in pure culture and raw milk samples. The results showed that this protocol can eliminate the unwanted band or reduce significantly. The detection sensitivity of the single and multiplex TD-PCR was one cell per ml in pure culture. Furthermore, the detection limit of multiplex TD-PCR was one cell per 25 ml for artificially contaminated raw milk. We obtained similar results for detection of aforementioned pathogens in raw milk, after comparing the multiplex TD-PCR method with the traditional culture, except in one or two samples. CONCLUSIONS Hence, the proposed multiplex TD-PCR method could be confirmed as an effective way for rapid optimization of PCR reactions to increase specificity, sensitivity during gene amplification. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Hence, due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness and being time-saving, it seems that this method is reasonable and economical for rapid optimization of PCR reactions.

Abstract
AIMS Pneumococcal infections are a major public health problem, especially in developing countries, and the current pneumococcal vaccines do not cover all pathogenic strains. New, more economical serotype-independent vaccines based on species-common protein antigens are being pursued. The pneumococcal whole-cell vaccine which is based on noncapsular antigens common to all strains induces serotype-independent immunity. In the present study, we developed a new candidate for a whole-cell pneumococcal vaccine in which two important virulence factors, the capsule and pneumolysin, were deleted. METHODS AND RESULTS Protection was elicited by immunization against colonization in mice with a killed mutant strain and the antibody response in the mice serum was evaluated. This candidate vaccine was effective in preventing nasopharyngeal colonization. The mice immunized with this candidate vaccine had significantly higher serum antibody titres than mice that received the adjuvant alone. CONCLUSIONS Based on obtained results in this study, the engineered whole-cell pneumococci can be considered as a vaccine candidate in future studies. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This candidate vaccine can overcome the limitations of available polysaccharide vaccines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sensory deprivations such as hearing impairment that affect sensory input have a secondary impact on cognitive functions such as working memory (WM). WM capacity is an important cognitive component that processes language-related activities. Moreover, several studies have shown a deficit in WM in children with a cochlear implant (CI). We aimed to assess the performance of children with CIs in pre- and post-training sessions and compare their scores on a battery of WM tests to investigate the efficacy of a WM training program. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five children aged 7-10 years with a CI participated in this study. To train their WM, a computer game was used. In order to examine auditory WM, a test battery including standardized digit span (forward and backward variations), non-word and sentence repetition (subtest of the Test of Language Development-Primary) were assessed in pre- and post-training test sessions at Shiraz Implant Center. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences between pre- and post-training test scores on all subtests. Test score differences were statistically significant for forward digit span (P=0.003), backward digit span (P=0.001), non-word repetition (P=0.001), and sentence repetition tasks (P=0.003) before and after training sessions. CONCLUSION Training may enhance WM capacity. With regards to the importance of WM in literacy and learning, it seems applying such intervention programs may be helpful in the rehabilitation of implanted children.

Abstract
Likelihood of developing noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is affected by some factors such as genes, nutrition and healthy hearing habits. We investigated this study to determine the effect of hyperlipidemia on NIHL. In a case-control study, 144 workers who exposed to continuous noise more than 85 dBA (88-89 dBA) from a textile factory in Tehran were examined. Serum Blood test results as index for dyslipidemi, were collected and audiometry tests were carried out to analyze the association of hyperlipidemian and NIHL. The mean ±SD of Cholesterol level for NIHL and control were 188.19 (28.46) and 159.00 (26.66) mg/dL respectively. Also the mean ±SD of Triglyceride level for NIHL and control were 203.75 (53.92) and 105.00 (30.50) mg/dL consecutively. After adjusting odds ratio (OR) for NIHL, only hypertriglyceridemia had association with NIHL. (aOR = 1.07; 95 % CI 1.04-1.10), and there wasn't any relation between hypercholestomia and NIHL (aOR = 1.02; 95 % CI 0.99-1.05). Workers with hypertriglyceridemia are at increased risk for NIHL. In factories with elevated noise levels, besides hearing conservation programs, attention to blood serum level of workers and healthy diet are proposed to help in preserving hearing threshold.

Abstract
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus which infects and induces proliferation of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood circulation and in lymphoid organs primarily of cattle, leading to leukemia/lymphoma. This study was carried out to investigate the presence of BLV in cattle, sheep and camels from the Chaharmahal va Bakhtiary and Isfahan provinces in Iran. A total of 874 blood samples collected from cattle, sheep and camels were used in this study to detect BLV using a nested-PCR. The results from this study indicated that 17.2% (n=874) of all blood samples collected were positive for BLV. The percentages of blood samples positive for BLV from cattle, sheep and camels were 22.1 (n=657), 5.3 (n=95) and 0 (n=122) respectively. The results from this study showed that BLV infected cattle and sheep. Camels seemed to be resistant to BLV infection. This study contributes to the nationwide effort to obtain baseline information on the prevalence of BLV, which will assist in planning the control strategy for the disease in Iran.

Abstract
The epidemiology of Q-fever in Iran is essentially unknown. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence rate of Coxiella burnetii in bulk milk samples from dairy bovine, ovine, and caprine herds in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province, Iran. In this study, 376 bulk milk samples from 79 dairy bovine, ovine, and caprine herds were tested for C. burnetii using a nested PCR assay. The animals whose milk samples collected for this study were clinically healthy. In total, 13 of 210 (6.2%) bovine milk samples were positive; the positive samples originated from 5 of 28 (17.9%) commercial dairy herds. All 110 ovine bulk milk samples from 31 sheep breeding farms were negative and only 1 of 56 (1.8%) caprine bulk milk samples from 20 goat breeding farms was positive for C. burnetii. Although no extensive prevalence study was undertaken, the results of this study indicate that clinically healthy cattle are important sources of C. burnetii infection in Iran. To our knowledge, this study is the first report of direct identification of C. burnetii by PCR in bulk milk samples from dairy bovine and caprine herds in Iran. Further intensive prevalence studies on Coxiella infection among farmers, milk-processing workers, veterinarians, and slaughterhouse workers and on possible dangers of dairy products will be needed to elucidate the epidemiology of Q fever in Iran.

Abstract
RA (rheumatoid arthritis) is a chronic multisystem disease with a variety of systemic manifestations. One of these manifestations, is hearing disorder, so study of the relation between RA and hearing disorders is seem important. This was a case-control study which has done from December 2004 to August 2006. This study compared 50 patients with RA, with age, sex and job-matched as control. Audiometric tests in different frequencies show that hearing threshold in high frequencies specially in 8000 Hz had a significant difference between two groups, also acoustic reflexes were absent in case groups and had significant difference between two groups too. The evaluation of sensory neural hearing loss showed that this hearing loss is sensory not neural. Based on this study, frequent evaluation of audiometric tests is recommended for controlling hearing disorders by therapeutic and rehabilitation procedures in RA patients.
