Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome is a complex of metabolic disorders that contemporary occurrence in a person is more than the risk of occurrence of each one separately. this syndrome has gained researcher's attention because of its relationship with cardiovascular disease and diabetes type II and its high prevalence in populations
Methods: A cross-sectional study performed on 1110 participants, 20-74 years old with cluster sampling. All of them had interview and special questionnaire were filled. Epidemiologic and demographic data were about hypertention cardio vascular disease and related lab data.
Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 32.1% that it was significantly more in women than men .this prevalence increased with age and BMI in both sexes .the most common metabolic disorder was TG>=150. 19.2% have none, 21.1% have one, 27.6% have two, 20.8% have three,9% have four and 2.3% have all criteria of metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: Approximately one third of population of Yazd have metabolic syndrome and according to other statistics of Iran, this prevalence is more than U.S and Europe. It seems there is an urgent need for a national multicenter program for determinding risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Background: Following socioeconomic development, the amount of physical inactivity among a given population has typically increased. Physical inactivity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to measure the prevalence of physical inactivity among the urban adult population of Yazd, Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on an urban population of 1500 employed persons over the age of 20 years via cluster sampling. We use the IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) to evaluate physical activity levels. We evaluated the subjects according to their level of fitness, attitude toward physical activity and physical activity levels.
Results: According to the fitness information provided by the participants, 2.1% were weak, 10% were moderately fit, 39.9% were fit, and 48% very fit. Regarding the attitudes of the participants toward physical activity, 1% was unfavorable, 32.4% were partly favorable, and 67.7% were favorable. Concerning the intensity of physical activity, 67.3% persons were inactive, 15% were sufficiently active, and 17.7% were highly active. After adjustment for age, 65.8% were inactive, 13.8% were sufficiently active, and 19.8% were highly active. According to gender, 81.6% of men were inactive, as were 54.4% of women. Inactivity according to age was as follows: 57.8% of the 20-24 year old, 66.9% of those aged 30-44 years, 70.4% of the 45-59 year olds, and 68.4% of those over the age of 60. Furthermore, physical inactivity was more prevalent in the higher socioeco-nomic group.
Conclusion: The level of physical activity in urban population of Yazd is low. High risk is associated with employment, retirement, high socioecono-mic class and higher levels of education.

Background: Atherosclerosis and the side effects thereof
are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients. Diabetic
dyslipidemia is defined by a decrease in blood levels of HDL cholesterol and increases
in triglycerides and LDL
cholesterol. Diabetic dyslipidemia is
atherogenic, inducing cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients at a
frequency that is two to three times greater than that of nondiabetics.
Methods: This study analyzes
the data from the first phase of the Yazd Healthy Heart Program, a community
intervention project focused on the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Using
the cluster sampling method, we analyzed data from 2000 subjects from Yazd, Iran,
ranging in age from 20
to 74 years. Clinical and
paraclinical data were recorded by trained health providers using a
questionnaire with over 700
items.
Results: The most frequent
lipid disturbance was TG>150 in 67.1% of the type-II diabetic patients (p<0.000), 54.6% of whom were unaware
of their TG level. The mean lipid
and TG levels are
significantly higher (p<0.000). Furthermore, women as a group have higher mean cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C levels than men (p<0.000). Additionally, diabetic patients were more obese than the
nondiabetic population. (p<0.000).
Conclusion: The high prevalence of
diabetes mellitus in Yazd and hypertriglyceride-mia among diabetics in this
city, in addition to the lack of awareness among more than half of these patients
about their illness and diagnosis, indicate an urgent need to immediately
control dyslipidemia in these high-risk patients.

Abstract
Background: Though many therapeutic modalities have been suggested but still no definite treatment for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis is available. Many compounds including Alkaloid, Quinones, Iridoids, Terpenes, Indole analogue have been documented to have antileishmania activity invitro. On the other hand, the aforementioned compounds can be found in the herbs including Thyme, Yarrow. Propolis is a brown color substance that is collected by honey bee from plants. Regarding the lack of data about the possible efficacy of these herbs against leishmaniasis, we have decided to evaluate and compare the efficacy of herbal extract of Thyme, Yarrow, Propolis and systemic glucantime against cutaneous leishmaniasis in Balb/c, and to formulate drugs without harmful chemical material and without side effect.
Methods: During three weeks of inoculation of parasite in base tail of mice, lesions will appear in the inoculation site. The animals divided into seven groups. We used mix alchoholic extract solution two times a day, checked lesions weekly for six week and measured size of lesion in the base of tail with kulis- vernieh.
Results: We observed significant difference between mean of lesion diameter before and after treatment in control, Yarrow and Thyme groups (p<0.05). Paired t test showed no significant difference between mean of lesion diameter after treatment between treatment and glucantime groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Alchoholic extract to Thyme and Yarrow have good effect on lesions treatment, we suggest repeat of this study with Thyme and Yarrow extract in gel or cream base in first stage of lesions appearance.

Abstract
Background: Researchers are always trying to find specific markers which express specifically in cancer. These specific markers help to diagnose and treat cancer without affecting normal tissues. Cancer-testis antigens are among the new promising biomarkers, especially for targeted therapy. These markers are specially expressed in testis. Various studies have been reported individual expression of these proteins in some tumor tissues. Since testis is an immune privilege organ, abnormal expression of the above mentioned genes raises immune response and the serum antibody against them (CT antigene) can be detected as a marker of cancer. However, understanding their differential role in normal and cancer tissues may introduce them as new candidates of cancer biomarkers. The aim of this study was to evaluate AKAP3 gene expression in breast cancer and its correlation with clinicopathologic features of the disease.
Methods: This study is a case-control study conducted at the Brest Cancer Research Center (BCRC)- Iran, between October 2014 to May 2016. AKAP3 gene expression was investigated with real-time PCR in breast samples including: 74 tumors, 73 normal adjacents and 15 normal tissues. On the other hand the correlation between gene expression, clinicopathologic features of the tumors and treatment regimen were evaluated.
Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between lack of AKAP3 expression, tumor size (P=0.01) and stage (P=0.04). The association between poor prognosis and the absence of AKAP3 expression in normal adjacent tissues were observed. Kaplan Meier plot showed a significant better disease free survival in the normal adjacent patients group that are expressed AKAP3.
|
Conclusion: It was observed that the better free survival in the normal adjacent group is because of the different AKAP3 expression, not treatment variations between two patient groups. As a result, AKAP3 can be a suitable candidate biomarker for breast cancer patients. Also, the study of gene expression in normal tissue of patients may be used to predict response to therapy.

Abstract
Background: Sjögren’s syndrome is the second most common systemic autoimmune disease after rheumatoid arthritis, RA, with a prevalence of about 0.5% in the general population. It occurs primarily in perimenopausal women (at a ratio of women to men of 9: 1) Sjögren’s syndrome is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration to exocrine glands. The specific autoantibodies of this syndrome are against Ro (SSA) and La (SSB). B cell dysfunction occurs in patients with Sjögren's syndrome. B lymphocyte cells produce monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy and light chains addition to producing Ro (SSA) and La (SSB). Up to 25% of patients in this situation are associated with antibody production. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of monoclonal immunoglobulin in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome.
Methods: 31 patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria referred to Rheumatology Clinics of Firoozgar Hospital, Tehran, during first six months of 2016, were studied. Clinical examinations and tests carried out. We analyzed serum monoclonal immunoglobulins by immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) on agarose gels with specific antisera to IgG, IgM, IgA, and κ and λ chains. The IFE was performed with a Helena immunofixation agarose kit (Helena Laboratories, Beaumont, TX, USA) following the manufacturer's recommended procedure. The measures of Anti-Ro, anti-La, rheumatoid factor (RF), antinuclear antibodies (ANA) with immunofluorescent method, complete blood count (CBC) with differential by peripheral blood smear, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate with western green tube, dip stick urine analysis, urine specific gravity (SG) with Refractometer (Mesu Lab Instruments Co., Guangzhou, China), turbidimetry serum complement, and the complement CH50 with ELISA were done.
Results: Most of (87%) patients were female. The mean age of patients was 45.32±12.02 years. The majority of the patients (94%, 29 cases), ocular sign was observed. Xerostomia were common in 84% cases (n=26). Arthralgia/arthritis and submandibular enlargement were common 48% and 19% of patients, respectively. Lymphadenopathy, lung involvement and parathyroid, each was prevalent in 16% of patients. Vasculitis in 13% and Raynaud's phenomenon in 6% of the patients were common. Liver and kidney involvements with the lowest prevalence, each was prevalent in 3% (1 person) patients. RF and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were abnormal in 22.58% and 12.90% of patients, respectively. The immunofluorescent antinuclear antibody (ANA or FANA) pattern, C3 and C4 complements levels were abnormal in 16.12%, 12.90% and 6.4% of patients, respectively. In 29% (n=9), monoclonal antibodies were higher than normal. IgG, IgM and IgG, were abnormal in 19.3% (n=6), 6.4% (n=2) and 3.3% (n=1), respectively.
Conclusion: Monoclonal immunoglobulin levels in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome increases. To achieve more definitive and reliable results, this study should be repeated with larger sample size and at different times.

Abstract
According to the official statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among women after breast, colorectal, and lung cancers. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says all women have the chance to get the disease, and women over the age of 30 are more likely to get it. However, this cancer is a types of cancer that can be prevented through vaccination. This study aimed to investigate the role of vaccines in the prevention of cervical cancer. In this review study, articles published between 2016-2022 from PubMed, SID, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases were examined. Keywords Papilloma vaccine and cervical cancer in Persian sources and HPV vaccine and Cervical Cancer in English sources were used. The subject search was also performed using MeSH medical subject headings and through the Pubmed database. Vaccination against human papillomavirus is the most cost-effective public health measure against cervical cancer. In many developed and developing countries, serious programs are underway for HPV vaccination and screening for cervical cancer. In most countries, HPV vaccination has been added to their mandatory immunization programs, effectively reducing the incidence of cervical infections and cancers. In countries where vaccination is not complete, health education and screening programs such as PAP smears every 2 years for all women and every year for those with high cancer risk or abnormal smears, have been consolidated. HPV vaccination is highly effective and has been added to immunization programs in many countries. Nowadays, three types of vaccines have been presented, of which the 9-valent Gardasil vaccine is more effective than the other two types, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, the 4-valent Gardasil vaccine is more suggested. Due to the high prevalence of cervical cancer in Iran, it is suggested that the HPV vaccine be used, screening tests be optimized and performed on a regular basis, and ways to prevent cervical cancer be taught.
