Abstract Objectives Increased incidence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) calls for supporting complementary therapies in this field. Persian Medicine (PM) specialists present various assumptions to help patients through Mizaj (temperament) modification, but its confirmation requires scientific evidence. This study aimed at identifying the Mizaj of MS patients, and comparing it with their Mizaj before the onset of the disease, and with that of healthy people. Methods Forty-two MS and fifty-four healthy subjects participated in the study as case and control groups. General and brain Mizaj in patients were identified by five PM specialists before and after the onset of the disease. Mojahedi Mizaj Questionnaire (MMQ) was completed by the two groups. The validity of MMQ was assessed using Mizaj diagnosis by PM specialists as the gold standard. T-test, McNemar-Bowker, Wilcoxon, and Chi-square (χ 2) tests were used to compare the Mizaj of patients before and after the onset of the disease, and between the two groups (p<0.05). Results The sensitivity and specificity of MMQ for Hotness (75, 81%) and Coldness (75, 65%) were acceptable. There were no significant differences between patients and healthy subjects in terms of general Mizaj. But general and brain Mizaj of patients after developing MS inclined to coldness and dryness, although merely inclination of general Mizaj to coldness was significant (p=0.03). Conclusions According to our results, the Mizaj of MS patients has an inclination toward coldness and dryness; Also, MMQ can be used as a validated scale for identifying the Mizaj of MS patients in future studies.

Objective: One of the major problems of patients after orthopedic surgeries is acute pain. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology massage on postoperative pain in patients undergoing plating surgery for tibia fracture. Methods: This study is a randomized clinical trial conducted on 96 patients who were candidates for tibia plating surgery referred to Imam Ali Hospital in Bojnourd, Iran, randomly divided into intervention and control groups. Foot reflexology massage in the intervention group was performed on patients’ healthy feet for 10 minutes, one hour before surgery. In the control group, the foot sole was touched for one minute without any pressure. Pain intensity was measured using the standard Visual Analog Scale before and immediately after the intervention and 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Data were analyzed using chi-square test, t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests. Results: The baseline pain scores in the intervention and control groups were reported 8.1±0.9 and 8.4±0.9, respectively. After the intervention, the pain score in these groups was reduced to 6.9±1.1 and 8.1±1.0, respectively (P<0.001). At other times, up to 24 hours after surgery, the pain reduction was higher in the intervention group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Foot reflexology massage reduces postoperative pain of patients undergoing tibia plating surgery. Therefore, this method can be used to reduce pain and anxiety in orthopedic surgery patients.

Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis caused by crystallization of acid uric in the joints. The development of gout is not only triggered by environmental factors but also by genetic variation of individuals. In this study, the association between the variation SLC2A9 rs16890979 and gout was investigated. Total DNA was extracted from 410 blood samples of 163 gout patients and 247 age-matched healthy controls. Genotypes of SLC2A9 rs16890979 were obtained using PCR-RFLP. Chi-Square test was used to test whether allele distribution of rs16890979 followed Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). Associations of the clinical characteristics between gout patient and control groups were assessed using Mann-Whitney U. Chi-Square test or Fisher’s exact test was used to check four models (additive, recessive, dominant, co-dominant) for association of rs16890979 with gout. The obtained results showed that the allele distribution of SLC2A9 rs16890979 was in accordance with HWE (p > 0.05). Clinical characteristics such as triglyceride and creatinine were significantly different between gout patient and control groups. However, there was no association of rs16890979 with the risk of gout in Vietnamese population. Further study with a larger sample size should be implemented to confirm our results regarding the association of SLC2A9 rs16890979 with gout in the Vietnamese population. This study would help enrich the knowledge about the effects of hereditary factors on gout disease in the Vietnamese population.

Background: Hypospadias is the most common congenital malformation of the urethra with the prevalence of 1 in 200-300 live male births. The objective of this trial was to compare the frequency of urethrocutaneous fistula between Snodgrass and two staged Aivar Bracka repair of distal penile hypospadias in male children. Material & Methods: This RCT was conducted in Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan from 1st June 2013 to 31st May 2014. 64 male patients were randomly allocated to two surgical procedures, 32 to experimental (Snodgrass) group and 32 to control (two stage Aivar Bracka) group. Age in years, age groups and presence of urethrocutaneous fistula were variables. Age in years was analyzed by mean, SD and range and other variables by count and percentage. McNemar chi-square test was applied to see the significance of difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of frequency of urethrocutaneous fistula at alpha 0.05. Results: Mean age in experimental (Snodgross) group was 6.74 years±1.26 & in control (Aivar Bracka) group 6.71 years ±1.29. The urethrocutaneous fistula was present in three (9.38%, 80% CI 2.77-15.99%) cases in experimental (Snodgross) group and in six (18.75%, 80% CI 9.91-27.59%) cases in control (Aivar Bracka) group. McNemar chi-square test showed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of frequency of urethrocutaneous fistula. Conclusion: The results are comparable for Snodgrass repair and two stage Aivar Bracka repair for distal penile hypospadias in male children in terms of frequency of urethrocutaneous fistula in our population.

Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis caused by urate crystals in a joint from high levels of serum uric acid (SUA). The development of gout is not only triggered by environmental factors but also by genetic variants of individuals. Previous studies demonstrated that the genetic association with gout risk varies in different ethnic populations. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between SLC17A1 rs1165196 and gout. A total of 169 patients with gout and 351 age-matched healthy controls were recruited at the Nguyen Trai hospital in Southern Vietnam for genomic DNA extraction. Genotypes of SLC17A1 rs1165196 were obtained using PCR-RFLP. Chi-Square test ( 16χ"> 2) was used to test whether allele distribution of rs1165196 follows Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). Associations of the clinical characteristics between gout patient and control groups were assessed using Mann-Whitney U. Chi-Square test or Fisher’s exact test was used to check four models (additive, recessive, dominant, co-dominant) for association of rs1165196 with gout. The results showed that SLC17A1 rs1165196 was in accordance with HWE (p>0.05) and the genotype frequencies of AA, AG and GG were 0.57, 0.38 and 0.05, respectively. The most differences between gout patient and control groups were uric acid and hyperuricemia (p=0.000). Other clinical characteristics such as BMI and CRP levels were also significantly different between gout patient and control groups (p<0.05). However, there was no association of SLC17A1 rs1165196 with the risk of gout in Vietnamese population (p>0.05). Further study with larger sample size should be implemented to confirm our results on the association of SLC17A1 rs1165196 and gout in the Vietnamese population.

Abstract PurposeColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most fatal cancers in the world. Determining if the risk of polymorphism alleles for CRC could contribute to clinical situations suggestive of an increased genetic risk for CRC is of significant importance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of genetic polymorphisms in two genes, APC and MUTYH, with CRC susceptibility in Iranian society. MethodsIn this experimental study, DNA was extracted from 200 blood samples (100 control and 100 patients with CRC). After identifying point mutations in APC and MUTYH genes and designing primers, they were examined by Tetra-arms PCR technique. Chi-square test was used to calculate and analyze the statistical and frequency of SNP in patients and control groups. ResultsSNPs: rs121913333, rs77542170, rs1801166 and rs869312753 showed significant association with CRC. rs121913333 on 5q22 appeared to have the highest degree of correlation with CRC (P=0.0001). ConclusionOur findings indicate that APC and MUTYH mutations are related to the incidence of colorectal cancer. Not only mutant but also heterozygous genotype has a significant role in CRC development.

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the effect of an intervention on the incidence of nipple trauma and the quality of breastfeeding technique in the first month of postpartum. Methods: this is a quasi-randomized intervention study with 180 puerperal women equally distributed between experimental and control groups. The intervention was performed at a maternity and consisted of an educational session on breastfeeding technique. A descrip-tive analysis of the groups’ characteristics was performed, comparing the frequencies of unfa-vorable parameters related to breastfeeding technique between groups. Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s test were used, and p≤0.05 was adopted as the critical level of significance. Results: at 30 days, 64% and 15% of the mothers used the technique correctly, respec-tively, in the experimental and control groups with RR=4.87 (CI95%=2.93-8.34); NNT=1.96 (CI95% =1.61-2.72); p<0.001. In the experimental group, a decrease was observed in the unfavorable parameters of the breastfeeding technique (p≤0.05). The incidence of nipple trauma was 30% in the experimental group and 38.9% in the control group (p=0.21). Conclusions: the intervention was insufficient to prevent nipple trauma in the experi-mental group, but significantly improved the quality in the breastfeeding technique.

Background: Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) can be determined on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and they may be associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. Purpose: The objective was to evaluate the MRI findings of DVAs in the brain, to compare the prevalence of them between MS patients and control subjects, and to investigate the correlation of DVA-associated fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensities and MRI-derived parameters between MS patients and control subjects having DVA. Methods: Total 160 patients with a mean age of 45 ± 16 years who underwent multiparametric MRI including susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), diffusion-weighted imaging, 3D FLAIR, and contrast-enhanced imaging were included in this retrospective study. First, the presence of DVA was compared between the MS and control groups using the Chi-square test. Then, among the subjects having DVA, age, gender, and MRI-derived parameters such as the signal increase of DVA on FLAIR, location, and drainage of DVA were compared between the MS and control groups using Chi-square test. Results: The presence of DVA did not differ between the MS and control groups (P = 0.828). Signal increase around DVA on FLAIR (P = 0.03) and the age of less than 45 years demonstrated a significant correlation with MS group (P = 0.022). Conclusion: In our study, DVAs were effectively detected using SWI and 3D contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging on MRI. The signal increase of DVA was better revealed on 3D FLAIR on MRI, and it was the only significant MRI-derived parameter in patients with MS.
