Volume 65, Issue 13 (Vol 65, Supplement 1 2008)
Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common endocrine disorder with increasing prevalence. Diabetic foot is a costly and serious chronic complication of diabetes mellitus that if it does not controlled will cause severe morbidities in patients with diabetes mellitus. Based on the study of center of management and prevention of diseases about 230 milliard Rials were expended for direct costs of diabetes annually and instruction of patients about protection of foots in some countries, decrease rate of amputation between 44 to 85% and infact instruction of diabetic patients is the base of treatment and prevention of complications of diabetes mellitus.
Methods: In a cross sectional study with attention to one of important causes of refer of diabetic patients to hospitals diabetic ulcers of foots, we discuss about risk factors and ways of treatment and prevention of them. The study done on patients admitted in endocrinology unit of Imam Khomeini hospital. For analysis we used SPSS 11.5 program. Although the costs for patients are calculated.
Results: In this study from 245 patients that admitted because of diabetic foot (63.26% male and 36.73% female), 74 patients have done amputation. From these 74 patients (30.2%), 65.67% were male and 24.32% were female. Age average was 58.24+12.29 years And the mean duration of DM was 10.56+8.32 years and the past history of diabetic foot was present in 45.95% of them. Past history of smoking was present in 66.21% of patients.
Conclusion: From 245 patients from 1996 to 2001 that admitted because of diabetic foot, 155 patients (63.26%) were male and 90 patients (36.73%) were female. From this numbers the most of them were in 60-70 years old and the least were 20-30 years old. Gender of most of them was male. For treatment of this complication a lot of costs were necessary and instruction of patients decrease this complications.

Volume 70, Issue 12 (5 2013)
Abstract

Background: The relationship between season of birth and human diseases is well known and such a relationship could be mediated by seasonal and environmental effects on early events of extrauterine life Empirical neonatological experience suggests that prevalence and degree of neonatal jaundice might be dependent on seasonal variation, mainly due to the sunshine duration. However, evidence based data on this issue are scarce. Thus, we have analyzed the seasonal effect on the rise of serum bilirubin level during the neonatal period.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was done on a sample of 629 term and healthy  infants born consecutively in Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran, during the years 2008-2009. The cord bilirubin level and then the serum bilirubin level near to 48 hour of age were measured. Seasonal differences in rise of serum bilirubin were studied.
Results: Rise of serum bilirubin in spring was 3.951.4 mg/dl, in summer 3.761.69 mg/dl, in fall 3.511.60 mg/dl and in winter 4.791.99 mg/dl. Serum bilirubin level in cord blood did not appear to be correlated with season of birth. After correction for the possible effect of these variables the relation between season of birth and rise of serum bilirubin remained significant. The rise of serum bilirubin in winter was significantly higher than other season (P<0.0001).
Conclusion: Season acts as an independent etiological factor of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Mean rise of serum bilirubin in winter is higher than other season. This provided information to improve education for nurses in identifying risk factors and the prevention of hyperbilirubinemia readmissions.


Association between 497A>G polymorphism in FCGR2A gene with recurrent miscarriage in infertile women

Volume 74, Issue 11 (February 2017)
Abstract

Background: The results indicated that the immunologic and genetic factors play a key role in the susceptibility to this syndrome compared to other risk factors. Immunoglobulin G, representing approximately 80% of Immunoglobulins in humans and the only way that IgG2 can be passed from mother to fetus blood circulation is binding to Fcgamma receptor (FcγR) classes which have been coded by Fcgamma receptor (FcγRIIA) gene. Any changes in the FcγRIIA gene structure such as mutations or polymorphisms can be considered as risk factors on the incidence of abortion through causing the inflammation or decreasing fetus safety. This receptor is the only which can have an interaction with IgG2 antibody and the Therefore, the current study was carried out to assess the association between R/H131 polymorphism in the FcγRIIA gene and susceptibility to recurrent abortions in Iranian women.

Methods: For this reason, a case-control study was confirmed to compare the frequency of FCGR2A gene R/H131 polymorphism in 150 women with recurrent miscarriage history having normal karyotype and 150 healthy women with no abortion history as control which were collected in March 2014 up to September 2015, from Royan Institute for Reproductive, Tehran, Iran. The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and genotyping was performed using amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR).

Results: The frequency of AA, AG, and GG genotypes in case and control groups were 31.3%, 54.7%, 14% and 27.3%, 49.2%, 23.5% respectively. According to the findings, the presence of the risk allele was not associated with increased risk of recurrent miscarriage compared with individuals lacking the risk allele and it statistically was significant (P= 0.11). No significant association was found between the age of participants and risk of abortion in Iranian studied population (P= 0.083).

Conclusion: The results of present study do not support the previous findings of an association between R/H131 polymorphism in FCGR2A gene and recurrent miscarriage.

Comparison of dosimetric and radiobiological effects of various IMRT techniques regarding to joint volume between target tissue and organs at risk in prostate cancer patients

Volume 77, Issue 2 (May 2019)
Abstract
Background: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is one of the most usable methods in prostate radiotherapy that is used with different techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the dosimetric and radiobiological effects of prostate IMRT techniques regarding to joint volume between the target tissue and organs at risk as a patients anatomical parameter.
Methods: This research was a cross-sectional, analytical, and quantitative study that was carried out from April 2016 to June 2018 at the radiotherapy and oncology center of Shoheday-e-Tajrish Hospital and Medical Physics Department of Tarbiat Modarres University Tehran, Iran. Four various prostate IMRT techniques (9, 7 and 5 fields and automatic) were planned on 63 prostate cancer patients CT scans. Radiobiological effects were calculated using Relative Seriality model for the organs at risk (bladder and rectum) and target tissue. Results of mentioned prostate IMRT techniques were compared based on the patient’s anatomical parameter. 
Results: For the patients with joint volumes ranged from 0 to 15%, statistical differences were not observed among various IMRT techniques. The tumor control probability and complication free tumor control probability values decreased as a function of joint volume. The normal tissue complication probability value increased as a function of joint volume. The 9 and 7 fields IMRT techniques had not any significant differences (P=0.06) in all of the joint volume ranges. In patients with the joint volumes higher than 30%, the 9 and 7 fields techniques showed significantly better radiobiological values in comparison with 5 fields and automatic techniques (P=0.009).
Conclusion: In the patients with lower percentage of joint volume, all the mentioned prostate IMRT techniques showed same radiobiological effects; however, in the patients with higher joint volume percentages (> 30%), the 9 and 7 fields techniques have better results. It is proposed to use the 7 fields technique instead of the 9 fields technique, especially in prostate cancer cases with high uncertainty in patients’ setup.
