IL-2 is an important cytokine that progresses lymph-ocytes from G1 to S phase, leading to T cells growth and proliferation. IL-2 is produced by activated CD4+ T cells and stimulates T and B lymphocytes, monocy-tes and natural killer cells. The present study was designed to determine and define the leishmania major-induced suppression of IL-2Rα expression in the peripheral human T-lymphocytes in vitro condition. Materials & Methods: Leishmania major standard strain (MRHO/IR/75/EK) was cul-tured in the NNN medium and proliferated in RPMI medium. Human peripheral T lymphocytes were also cultured in RPMI medium. Phytohemaglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes, in the present and/or absent of leishmania major promastigotes, were sam-pled at the incubation times, 12, 24, 36, 48h, stained with FITC-labelled anti-CD25 (IL-2Rα chain MAb) and PE-labelled anti-CD4 (CD4 MAb) and then, analyzed by flowcytometry. Data were analyzed by us-ing the WIN MDI software and statistical tests. Findings: Results of this study showed that leishmania major suppressed the expression of IL-2R in the activated T cells and inhib-ited the proliferation of lymphocytes. We found the expression of IL-2R by human peripheral T Lymphocytes. These T cells that co-cultured with leishmania major and stimulated with Phytohemagglutinin, were significantly suppressed 6h after culture initiation. However, the suppressed effect was seen to be moderate. The magnitude of this effect further increased when greater numbers of promastigotes were added.

Since the biopsy is the only way for diagnosis of IgA nephropathy, finding an easy and non-invasive method seems to be necessary for prognosis, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In this study, it was attempted to find some urine candidate biomarkers that represent the progression of disease in patients with IgA nephropathy. Materials & Methods: Urine samples from 13 patients were collected and their prote-ome were extracted and analyzed with na-no-LC-MS/MS. The protein profile was obtained and those differential proteins bet-ween patients with advanced and mild disease states (based on the renal function eGFR) were determined using orthogonal projection to latent structure discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and the acquired data underwent bioinformatics analysis. Findings: A panel composed of 50 signi-ficant proteins was obtained in which 10 top candidate biomarkers were introdu-ced. Dermcidin and Osteopontin had highe-st variation amongst the proteins, so that they overrepresented and underrepresented, res-pectively. Complement system and inna-te immune response were introduced as the significantly important different processes between two groups of patients.

Assessment of factors which affect this cancer is important for prolonging the patient survival. The purpose of this study was to compare para-metric and Cox models as well as to deter-mine demographic and socioeconomic fact-ors affecting the 5-year survival of patients with colon cancer. Materials & Methods: In this survival stu-dy, population included 580 patients with colon cancer who were recorded in the Ca-ncer Research Center of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Science from April 2005 to November 2006 and then were followed up for 5 years. Exponential, weib-ull, lognormal, log-logistic, and generalized gamma parametric models and Cox model were used to process the data. The models were compared with Akaike’s information criteria and Cox-Snell residual plot. Findings: Of 580 patients, 34% died. The age of patient during cancer diagnosis, gender, custody during childhood, residence location and afflicted organ were associated with the 5-year survival of patients. He calculated hazard ratios were nearly similar in different models. Based on Akaike’s inf-ormation criteria, the log-logistic and ext-ended gamma models were determined as better models, however based on Cox-Snell residual, the log-logistic and exponential models were determined as better models.

Different ways of clinical education have a direct impact on the clinical skills acqu-isition and student satisfaction. So, this study aimed to investigate the relation bet-ween preparation of preceptors and nursing student’s satisfaction of clinical education. Materials & Methods: This research was a cross-sectional research study. 44 clinical preceptors and 202 nursing students parti-cipated in the research during 1391. The preparedness questionnaire for preceptors had two parts, the demographic and clinical preparation, and students' satisfaction ques-tionnaire also had two sections including demographic information and 25 questions about their satisfaction. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statist-ics and sample analysis methods. Also, the chi-square test was used to link survey objectives and research questions. Findings: The average of age was 22.5 ye-ars for students and 40 years for preceptors. 75 percent of preceptors had bachelor deg-ree, and 25 percent had master degree. They had averagely 16.34 and 5.69 years services and preceptor experience, respectively. 53.5 percent of students reported a high satisfac-tion and only 10.4% reported a low satisfa-ction. There was statistically significant re-lation between clinical preparedness of preceptors and student satisfaction (P=0. 024). Relation between clinical prepar-edness and sex (P=0.05), marital status (P=0.01) and coaching experience (P=0. 038) were significant and in the female groups, the number of married people and coaching experience was more than 5 years. Relation of student satisfaction with the sex (P=0.004) and student’s employment (P=0. 001) were significantly higher in male and employed groups. Discussion & Conclusion: Given to the rel-ationships between preceptor preparedness and nursing student’s satisfactions in the represented clinical education period, this model is suggested as an applicable and suitable one for nursing colleges and health related educational centers. The accurate selection of people who interested in clin-ical trainings, providing training and edu-cational requirements and holding coordin-ation meetings among preceptors and fac-ulty members and presenting guidelines and clinical education plan can promote clinical training and student’s satisfaction.}, Keywords = {preceptor, clinical education, sa-tisfaction, nursing students}, volume = {21}, Number = {5}, pages = {150-159}, publisher = {Ilam University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://sjimu.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-1333-en.html}, eprint = {http://sjimu.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-1333-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Ilam University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {1563-4728}, eissn = {2588-3135}, year = {2013} } @article{ author = {Olad, Gholam Rez}, title = {Designing and bioinformatics study of synthetic mutated Diphtheria toxin (dtxA) catalytic domain gene and survey of its recombinant protein exprassion as vaccine candidate}, abstract ={Background & objective: Diphtheria, caused by toxigenic strains of Corynebacterium diphtheria is a fatal disease that was characterized by Hippocrates in 5 B.C. Exotoxin (dTX) is causative agent of this lethal disease. Diphtheria toxin consist two chains, catalytic (A) and binding (B) chain. The toxin binds to its receptor by binding chain (B) and enters in many of body cells such as myocardial, kidney and peripheral nerve cells. After entering, catalytic chain (A) inhibits protein synthesis and cause target cell death. Currently, toxoid form of diphtheria toxin used as vaccine. The aim of this study was design and provide of synthetic mutated catalytic subunit of diphtheria toxin. Then, regarding to its bioinformatics study, this gene would cloned and expressed as recombinant protein vaccine. Methods: After determining and optimizing of dtx gene sequence containing two mutations (A158G, G52E), and perform its bioinformatics study, this synthetic gene was provided in expression vector and molecular analysis was carried out. The pET28a/dtxA construct was transformed in Bl21DE3 E.coli. Then, recombinant protein expression and production as a vaccine candidate was evaluated by western blotting technique. Results: Regarding to the codon optimization of A subunit of diphtheria toxin and bioinformatics analysis, the synthetic mutated gene in expression vector was ordered and provided. The molecular analysis of this gene by restriction digestion and electrophoresis was confirmed its accuracy. This protein was confirmed by western blotting after expression and production. Conclusion: According to advantages of DtxA recombinant protein to diphtheria toxoid, it seems this recombinant protein, as vaccine candidate, could be replaced with diphtheria vaccine.
