Chimeric antigen receptor- (CAR-) based immunotherapies (CARs), as one of the newest methods for immunotherapy, have heralded a new era of treating cancer. When the CAR is derived from an antibody, the resultant cell should combine the desirable targeting features of an antibody (e.g. lack of requirement for major histocompatibility complex recognition, ability to recognize self antigens). These potential benefits result in the identification of tumor-sprcific antigens which in turneliminates tumor cells by summoning cytokines and co-stimulatory molecules that kill other tumor cells. This review briefly describes basic CAR structure and function, how their antigenic targets are selected, and the development and advancements of this technology to improve their function intumor micro-environment. Afterwards, several examples of successful treatments with the help of this technology are presented and finally, we take a glance at the side effects of this method.

Background & Objectives: Several studies confirmed that early recanalization of intracranial arteries during ischemic strokes result in better recovery of these patients after three months of treatment. Materials & Methods: Recanalization of cerebral arteries is performed using intravenous tPA or mechanical thrombectomy. Results: Intravenous tPA injection within 3 hours of ischemic stroke is associated with better outcome in three months follow-up. Intravenous tPA has less effect on large cerebral arteries, like internal carotid arteries. Recent studies showed that mechanical thrombectomy of large cerebral arteries within 6 hours of stroke onset is associated with better outcome three months after operation. Since 2015, mechanical thrombectomy has been entered in first-line of acute phase of ischemic stroke in several guidelines and countries. Mechanical thrombectomy included several different endovascular techniques, as thrombosuction and stent retrieval for clot removal. Conclusion: Understanding several these different techniques, thier benefits, and their safety could help better selection of suitable method for endovascular treatment of stroke patients.

Background & Objectives: Visual acuity has an important role in the elderly’s communication with the environment. Cataract is a major cause of reduced visual acuity in the elderly, which can be treated only through surgery. Like in any other surgery, the elderly who should undergo cataract surgery experience a lot of anxiety. Relaxation techniques are of the procedures that can lead to stress reduction and create comfort and relaxated people. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of guided imagery on pre-operation anxiety and hemodynamic factors in the elderly undergoing cataract surgery.
Materials & Methods: The present randomized clinical trial recruited 50 elderly patients undergoing cataract surgery who met the inclusion criteria in the period of August to December 2014 through purposive sampling from patients at Vasei Hospital in Sabzevar, Iran, and randomly assigned them to the case and control groups. The control group received routine care and the case group received guided imagery using an audio file. Spielberger’s anxiety inventory and checklist of physiological changes were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using statistical tests by SPSS 16 software at a desirable significance level, independent t tests, chi-square test, fisher exact test and ANOVA.
Result: The mean of hemodynamic factors did not significantly differ in the two groups before intervention (p>0.05), but significantly reduced systole blood pressure (p<0.001), diastole blood pressure (p<0.01) and respiration (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Guided imagery can effectively reduce physiological responses of anxiety before surgery in the elderly. Hence, it is suggested that clinical nurses and nursing students use it for better nursing services.

IUGR is a major causes and silent illness and death in the embryonic and infants population, which in it infants growth potential is less than natural state. IUGR phrase and small for gestation age often used interchangeably; Although there is small difference between these two. IUGR/SGA as a result different etiology including maternal factors, placenta and fetus arise. That recently genetic factors added to it. IUGR may be caused by maternal smoking, infections agents and chromosomal or genetic abnormalities, maternal abnormalities, but in most cases secondary cause is placenta insufficiency. IUGR often causes complications in the third trimester of pregnancy which is associated with symptoms of preeclampsia. the Pathophysiology of IUGR is associated with placenta insufficiency it remains unclear, but the damage is usually caused due to failure of trophoblast invasion which causes intermittent blood flow the space between the intervillous that this also in turn causes local oxidative stress.

Background: Abstracts are valuable tools in assessing the relevance of documents during information retrieval. Determination of abstract compliance with international standards is one of ways of generating qualified information, reducing costs and establishing aligned coordination with international standards. this study aims to assess persian theses abstracts of different educational levels with ANSI/NISO Z39.14 standard at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBMU) from 2010-2014. Material and methods: This analytical survey consists of 386 titles of Persian abstracts of master’s, professional doctorate ,and specialized medicine theses abstract of different schools at SBMU from 2010-2014. Standard text of ANSI / NISO Z39.14 is used as a research tool which includes 5 content elements. Stratified sampling using random number table (commensurate with the size) was the method of this study. Descriptive statistics along with Anova test, Chi2 and Tukey’s HSD tests of SPSS 19 software were used for data analysis. Results: Results showed that there is a significant difference among the consistency of content elements of the standard with theses abstract of different educational levels in different schools using ANOVA and chi-square test while there was insignificant difference between the years 2010 to 2014. Conclusion: The findings suggest that writing style of thesis abstracts at SBMU, in some content elements, is not in accordance with the standard ANSI/NISOZ39.14 (R2015). Therefore, it is recommended to develop an instruction and a coherent model based on international standards which are mandatory to be followed by all centers in order to improve the writing style.

Evaluation of immune response to HBV vaccine in the staff and students of Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences (2014-15) Background:Hepatitis B is a bloodborne infections and it is predicted that about two billion people in the world have been exposed to the hepatitis B virus. Because of occupational reasons, medical students and staffs are more susceptible to expose to this disease than other members of society. Materials and Methods:This study is a descriptive-analytic study and 238 staffs and students of Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences were randomly selected and sampled. Then, the antibody titer of surface anti-protein of hepatitis B virus (HBs- Ab) was measured using ELISA method and the results were analyzed using the software Stata 12 after recording the demographic results and information. Results:Out of 238, 156 persons were female ( 65.5%) and 82 persons ( 34.5%) were male. 66% of individuals had antibody higher than 10 mu/ml and 37.4 % of individuals showed the appropriate answers higher than 100 u/ml. The relationship between job, sex and marital status with the immune response was significant. 100% of people who received full dose along with the booster vaccine were immune. Over time, the percentage of immune people has been decreased. Conclusion:Considering the reduction of response to vaccines over time and healthcare personnel being at risk, it is recommended that antibody titer was periodically examined in these individuals in 5 to 10 years to administer a booster dose in the case of a decrease in antibody titers.

Results: Zone of inhibition in Polyamidoamine-G5 dendrimers concentration of 25 μg/mL for Escherichia Coli, Proteus Mirabilis, Salmonella Typhi, Bacillus Subtilis and Staphylococcus Aureus were 22, 28, 21, 16 and 20 mm, respectively. Regarding the zone of inhibition in gram negative bacteria with gram positive ones was p=0.16 and was not significant different. The minimum inhibitory concentration for both Proteus Mirabilis and Salmonella Typhi was 2.5 μg/mL and for Escherichia Coli, Bacillus Subtilis and Staphylococcus Aureus was 25 μg/mL. The Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) for Salmonella Typhi was 50 μg/mL and for all Proteus Mirabilis, Escherichia Coli, Bacillus Subtilis and Staphylococcus Aureus was 100 μg/mL. Conclusion: According to the results, NPAMAM-G5 dendrimer can effectively eliminate Escherichia Coli, Proteus Mirabilis, Salmonella Typhi, Bacillus Subtilis and Staphylococcus Aureus.

Background & Objectives: Electronic learning is a pre-constructed and programmed use of electronic system and computer for supporting the process of learning. This study aimed to investigate the effect of electronic education on cognitive learning of health pratitioners and compares this new education with traditional one in research methodology in Arak University of Medical Sciences in 2014. Materials & Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-and-post test design. All of health practitioners of Arak University of Medical Sciences (60 people) were chosen as the study sample, and randomly divided into two, conventional and web-based groups. The intervention method for the first group was a 3-days workshop on research methodology and for the second group it consisted of a web-based education course on same subject. The students’ knowledge in both groups was measured at the beginning and end of each course with pre and post tests and the scores was compared through paired T- test. Results: The cognitive learning is measured with 81% significance in pre and post-test processes (p=0.001). We use the descriptive statistics indexes and T-test to understand the data with purpose of statistics analysis and hypothesis test. The result shows that electronic education in cognitive learning is successful. There is significant different between students with electronic education and traditional one. In addition electronic education increases student’s knowledge (p=0.001) and understanding (p=0.001). Ability of analysis and assessment in students who pass electronic learning is very high in comparison with those who don’t pass it. Conclusion: Using web-based education as a training method causes promotion of student’s cognitive learning and paves the way for using this method along with classic training methods in research methodology. A combination of the mentioned factors is effective on e-learning for higher education.
