AbstractBackground: Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) recognized as heterogeneous disorders arising from presynaptic, synaptic, or postsynaptic defects. Congenital myasthenic syndrome due to defects in synaptic activity of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) is caused by recessive mutations in the COLQ gene. Ideal method for molecular diagnosis of this disease is direct analysis of the gene mutations, which is expensive and time consuming. Therefore, alternative methods such as linkage analysis using polymorphic markers including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is suggested.Materials and Methods: In this study, using bioinformatic analysis, rs2278961 marker located on 3'UTR of COLQ gene was selected which contains 2 alleles G and A. rs2278961 marker was genotyped in the Isfahan population by ARMS PCR technique, using specific primers. Degree of heterozygosity and allelic frequencies were calculated by Genepop software. Finally, the amount of polymorphism information content (PIC) was computed by PIC Calculator software.Results: According to the results of Genepop and PIC Calculator, the frequency of recessive allele A (MAF), the degree of heterozygosity and the PIC were estimated 0.539, 0.61842105 and 0.3735, respectively.Conclusion: Since the MAF>0.2 and PIC close to 0.375 are the criteria for an efficient marker, rs2278961 having mentioned conditions, therefore it could be suggested as an appropriate markers for diagnosis of CMS disease in Iranian population.

Introduction: Considering the great importance of the workforce’s wellbeing as well as the employment of a large number of workers in the in the cement industries in Iran, the current study was carried out in the aim of evaluation of the respirable dust concentrations in the workers breathing zone in a cement factory in Khorasan Razavi province.Materials and Methods: In this study, respirable particle concentration was evaluated in the breathing zone of 70 workers in a cement factory who were working at different work sites in the cement factory processes. The standard methodology of 0600 recommended by the US NIOSH was followed to determine respirable dust concentration using a personal sampling pump, aluminum cyclone and pvc filter. Results: The average respirable dust concentration was 3.9 mg/m3 for all workers that means 77% of workers were exposed to respirable cement particles higher than. The maximum mean concentration of respirable particles in the workers breathing zone was found in the cement grinding site 9.3 mg/m3 and the minimum one was measured in the stone crushing and mining site 1.8 mg/m3.Conclusion: The average concentration of respirable dust concentration in the workers’ breathing zone was higher than OEL in both warm and cold climates. The warm weather and the wind comes from the desert and dry areas contribute to the increase of the concentration of respirable particles in the breathing zone of the workers in various parts of the plant who are exposed to the naturally ventilated air.

Background:Neurotrophin-3 is among the biomarkers studied in MS.Regarding the fact that Exercise training has been proposed as an effective non-drug way of treating Multiple Sclerosis(MS),the present study aims at investigatingthe effect of eight weeks’ aquatic exercise and resistance training programs on the plasmatic levels and gene expression of neurotrophin-3in MS patients.Materials and methods:To the aims of the present study,30women with MS were randomly selected and assigned to three groups:the control group,resistance training group,and aquatic exercise group. Resistance training and aquatic exercise programs were used for 8weeks.After separating plasma and PBMNcells,plasmatic levels and the expression of neurotrophin-3gene were measured via ELISA and real-timePCR,respectively.Inorder to compare the means,plasmatic levels and the gene expression of neurotrophin-3of the three groups were Analyzed by the ANCOVAtest at the significance level of p≤0.05through SPSS18. Results:The results showed a significant increase in plasma levels neurotrophin-3of the three groups (p=0.001).The Scheffe post hoc test was significant in two by two comparisons of the aquatic group and resistance training group with the control group (p=0.001,p=0.001,respectively).However,the difference between the aquatic and resistance groups was not significant(p=0.329).Moreover,there was a significant increase in the gene expression of neurotrophin-3of the three groups(p=0.001).Based on the Scheffe test,the mean differences between the aquatic and resistance groups,and the control group were(p=0.053,p=0.001,respectively).However,non-significant differences in the gene expression of neurotrophin-3were shown between the aquatic group and the resistance group(p=0.08).Conclusion:The findings of the present study indicated that both the resistance training and the aquatic exercise can increase plasmatic levels and the gene expression of neurotrophin-3in MS patients.
