Abstract
Background: The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model and the World Health Organization model on FBS, 2HPPBS, HbA1c in patients with type II diabetes.
Methods: The research method was a semi-experimental and multi-group expanded type with pre-test-post-test designs and a control group with a follow-up period. The statistical population of this research included all patients with type II diabetes referred to the endocrinology department of Imam-Khomeini Hospital in 1400. In this research, from a list of 100 people with diabetes, 60 diabetic patients who met the entry criteria were identified. Then 45 people were randomly selected and replaced by random replacement in two experimental groups and one control group. Each experimental group received group psychological interventions separately, and at the end, both groups were subjected to a post-test. The obtained data were analyzed using mixed analysis with repeated measurements.
Results: The results indicate the effect of lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model and the World Health Organization model on FBS (P=0/001), 2HPPBS (P=0/001) and HbA1c (P=0/006) and the stability of this effect was in the follow-up phase. Also, compared to lifestyle education based on the World Health Organization model, lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model was a more effective method to reduce HbA1c in type 2 diabetes patients but the difference in the effect of the two groups on FBS and 2HPPBS was not significant.
Conclusion: The results indicated the effectiveness of both educational models and the superiority of the BAZENF educational model. Therefore, Lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model and the World Health Organization model can be used by therapists as adjunctive treatments in interventions for people with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Background: Biobanks are biological repositories that collect, process, store, and distribute human biological samples. Among them, tumor banks play a central role in biomedical research. The overall goal of a tumor bank is to collect cancerous and normal samples under standardized conditions for basic, clinical, or applied research.
Methods: Tumor samples from patients with endocrine neoplasms were collected from excess tissue samples not required for diagnostic purposes after surgery in the surgical department of Dr. Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran. In addition, relevant biological samples such as serum, plasma and DNA were collected in parallel. Prior to sampling, informed consent was obtained from the patients and a questionnaire was completed. After rapid freezing with isopentane, tissue samples were stored in a liquid nitrogen tank, while other biological materials, such as serum, were stored in a -80°C freezer.
Results: Tissue, plasma, serum, and DNA samples collected from patients with endocrine neoplasms were stored in separate barcoded storage boxes in the biobank and were made available to researchers.
Conclusion: The use of bioproducts in domestic research and international networks has strengthened research collaborations through supporting the collection and distribution of tissues, especially cancer tissues. This trend plays an important role in facilitating basic and applied research in various fields of cancer, including molecular biology, immunology, genetics and pharmacology, and will pave the way for scientific advances and therapeutic innovations.
