Background: Several studies have suggested the role of inflammatory factors in the development and progression of complications of diabetes. Among the inflammatory biomarkers CRP, has the most rapid reaction and subside the normal level following a successful treatment. Sectional and longitudinal studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise and its effects on various inflammatory and pre inflammatory cytokine mentioned. The purpose of this study was to compare three different ways of training on CRP levels in type 2 diabetic patients after a ten -week training is designed.
Methods: 52 patients with type 2 diabetes (65-40 years) were randomly divided into four groups: aerobic training, resistance, combined (aerobic and resistance) and control groups and each group consisted of 13 subjects. Exercise 3 times a week for 60 minutes each session lasted for 10 weeks.The high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) at baseline and at the end of the study were measured by ELISA. The data analysis was done by SPSS20 and p<0.05 considered as significance level.
Results: aerobic and combined exercise significantly subsides hs–CRP level in type II diabetes patients, this decrease was more significant pronounced in combined exercise and resistance exercise has not significantly effect on hs–CRP level
Conclusion: According to the findings aerobic exercise training is particularly suitable compound to prevent inflammatory biomarkers such as CRP elevation in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore more studies in future maybe useful to prevent diabetic complications.

Objectives Appendicitis is the most common and important emergency condition, in which most of the patients undergo appendectomy. The diagnosis of appendicitis is critical and the values of diagnostic laboratory tests are always discussed. The current study aimed at determining the diagnostic value of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) increase in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.Methods The current cross sectional study examined 105 individuals referred to the emergency department of Shahid Motahari Hospital, Marvdasht, Iran, in 1012. Before the administration of any preoperational antibiotics, blood samples were obtained from the subjects to measure the serum CRP level. After surgery, the relationship among serum levels of CRP and appendix tissue biopsy, and the surgeon`s comments about the type of tissue were investigated. All data were analyzed by SPSS version 18, employing ANOVA and Tukey test.Results A total of 81 patients had acute appendicitis, out of which 24 had normal appendix. Among patients with acute appendicitis, 65 subjects showed increased serum CRP level and 16 subjects had normal serum CRP level. The sensitivity and specificity of CRP level in the study were 80% and 63%, respectively.Conclusion The results showed that evaluation of serum CRP levels can be useful and beneficial to diagnose acute appendicitis.

Background Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible effect of 8-week aerobic exercise on undercarboxylated osteocalcin and hs-CRP and insulin resistance in overweight women. Materials & Methods: 20 overweight women (weight 73.19 ± 2.28 kg, age 39.38 ± 3.66 years old, height 1.61 ± 0.04 cm, and body mass index(BMI) 28.19 ± 4.36 kg/m2) were randomly selected and divided into control and experimental groups. Blood samples from participants were taken 48 hours before pre-test and also after 8 weeks of training. Aerobic exercise was done within 8 weeks – 3 sessions per week with the intensity of 65-70% of reserve heart rate. Data analysis for intragroup and intergroup differences was done using dependent and independent t-test, respectively. A significant difference was observed at pResults: The study yielded that the level of undercarboxylated osteocalcin in experimental group significantly increased (p=0.01) in comparison to that of control group. It was also revealed that, in comparison with control group, the level of hs-CRP (p=0.083) and insulin resistance (p=0.158) in experimental group insignificantly decreased after 8-week training. Conclusions: The eight weeks of regular exercise showed significant increase in undercarboxylated osteocalcin that, with possible impact on beta cells, can be cause improvement in effective factors of resistance insulin such as increased insulin secretion and decreased glucose levels.

Background and purpose : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disorder which leads to an increase in casualties caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adipocytokines and hs-CRP play a main role in pathophysiology of RA and CVD. Soy foods and phytoestrogens have anti-inflammatory properties. So, this study was designed to determine the effects of soy milk consumption comparing with cow’s milk consumption on anthropometric indicators, blood pressure (BP), hs-CRP, adiponectin and leptin among patients suffering from RA.
Material and methods: This randomized, crossover clinical trial was conducted on 30 patients. This study had two intervention periods, each lasted 4-weeks. Subjects were divided in two groups of consuming soy milk (one glass per day) and cow's milk (one glass per day). The wash‐out period was two weeks. Variables were measured before and after of each intervention.
Results: Soy milk consumption resulted a significant reduction in hs-CRP levels (percent change: -13.81±5.39 vs. 9.21±6.33%; P˂0.008). Serum levels of adiponectin decreased in soy milk group (baseline: 38.39±2, end: 30.71±1.9; P˂0.01). However, this reduction was not significant comparing with cow’s milk (p=0.096). We have not seen any significant differences in leptin levels, weight and BP between two interventional periods (p˃0.05).
Conclusion: Soy milk consumption for 4 weeks could decrease serum levels of hs-CRP, and had no significant effects on other variables in patients suffering fromRA.

Background and objective: Using Coping Styles with Stress in coronary heart disease patients can lead to significant changes in levels of CRP. But up to now researchers have not explored it empirically. So, The main objective of this study was to recognize the relationship between Coping Ways with Stress and Biomarker CRP and also discovering Coping Styles which predict changes in the concentration of CRP.
Materials and methods: This descriptive-correlational study was carried out in 2001. The statistical sample is CHD patients who referred to Tehran Shahid Rajaie Heart Hospital, 44 patients with CHD selected through judgmental sampling method. These patients suffer from coronary artery disease which was approved by angiography. Coping Ways questionnaire- Lazarus and kit of CRP (produced by Pars Azmoon Co) were used. Indicators and descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis with stepwise method with significant level 0/01 were used for statistical analysis of research data. The computer software used in this study for data processing was SPSS/17.
Results: The results showed there are Positive and significant correlation between Emotional Focused Coping Styles with Stress (Inefficient) and CRP and negative and significant correlation between Problem Focused Coping Styles with Stress (Efficient) and CRP. The impact factor of positive re-evaluation coping way according to the T test indicate that among 8ways of coping ways only this kind of variable with 99% confidence can be predicted the changes related to CRP.
Conclusion: This study showed that the increase of Application in Emotional Focused Coping Styles (Inefficient) lead to increase in levels of CRP and increase in using Problem Focused Coping Styles (Efficient) lead to decrease in levels of CRP.

Background and Purpose: Variation and increase in the levels of inflammatory factors and glycemia are among the major problems of type 2 diabetics. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the effect of beta carotene-enriched carrot juice on CRP inflammatory indexes, IL-6 and FBS glucose in diabetics. Methods and Materials: This randomized double blind clinical trial was conducted on 44 type 2 diabetics. Participants based on gender and BMI were assigned into two groups (Group A receiving 200 ml carrot juice enriched with 10 mg beta carotene and Group B receiving normal carrot juice) by randomized stratified sampling. Both groups received 200 ml carrot juice for 8 weeks for lunch (instead of cereals). A 24-hour recall was obtained for 3 consecutive and 6 concomitant days at the beginning and end of the study duration. Also, CRP, IL-6, FBS glucose and serum beta carotene levels were measured in FBS blood sample at the beginning and end of the study duration. The consumption data were fed into Nutritionist IV, and analyzed in SPSS 11.5. Results: Each group consisted of 22 (11 male and 11 female diabetics) participants. There was a significant increase in the levels of beta carotene in group A (111.9±64.9 at the beginning and 72±43.9 at the end) (p=0.02). However, the reduction of CRP in Group A (-996.9±2172.6 at the beginning and -537.3±1412.4 at the end) was not significant (p=0.098). Also, IL-6 reduction in Group A (-0.8±2.1 at the beginning and -0.6±2.4 at the end) was not significant (p=0.085). FBS glucose was also not examined in the present study. Conclusion: Daily consumption of carrot juice enriched with 10 mg beta carotene for eight weeks caused an improvement in the levels of serum antioxidants including beta carotene in type 2 diabetics, with no significant effects on serum glucose and inflammatory indexes.
