Introduction
Light-dark cycles regulate the body’s physiological activity; hence, marked changes in these cycles could lead to conditions with impaired brain functions and disrupted moods (e.g., stress). Therefore, this study compared the impact of stress due to various photoperiodic durations on anxiety-like behavior, learning, memory, locomotor activity and memory consolidation in rats.
MethodsThirty-five male rats were divided into five groups with different light(L)-dark(D) cycles: L20/D4, L16/D8, L12/D12 (control), L8/D16 and L4/D20 groups. After14 days, the elevated plus-maze (EPM) and passive avoidance (PA) tests were performed to assess the anxiety-like behaviors and brain functions.
ResultsThe percentage of spent time, number of entries to the open arm of the EPM test and the entrance latency to the dark room of the PA test decreased significantly in the L20/D4 and L4/D20 groups; however, the reduction of latency to enter the dark room was particularly significant in the L20/D4 group. In addition, there were significant differences between the initial latency and latency after one day (as learning) in all experimental groups. The total dark stay time increased significantly in different photoperiods.
ConclusionAn abnormal light-dark length could disrupt certain brain functions, such as learning, memory, locomotor activity, memory consolidation and anxiety-like behavioral responses at different levels in a time-independent manner. The light-dark length (both minimum and especially the maximum day length) led to increased learning impairment and memory deficits, as well as worsened anxiety-like behaviors. The memory consolidation was also disrupted with various photoperiods.

This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on self-care and compassion fatigue in mothers of children with cancer.
MethodThe research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest, post-test, control group, and 45-day follow-up design. The sample size in the study was 25 mothers of children with cancer who were selected from those referred to Omid Educational Therapeutic Center in Isfahan 2018 through a convenient sampling method and were randomly replaced into experimental and control groups (12 mothers in the experimental and 13 mothers in the control group). The experimental group received eight ninety-minute compassion-therapy intervention sessions over 75 days once a week, while the control group didn't receive any intervention during the study. The instruments research included a self-care questionnaire (Galina et al., 2015) and a professional life quality questionnaire (Stam, 2005).
FindingsThe results of ANCOVA showed that compassion-focused therapy influenced self-care and compassion fatigue in the mothers of children with cancer in post-test and follow-up significantly (p<0.001).
ConclusionBased on the present research findings, compassion-focused therapy is suggested to be an effective method to improve self-care and reduce compassion fatigue in mothers of children with cancer

Objective (s)
Administration of antidepressants and exercise are among the therapeutic approaches to chronic stress. Therefore, this study compared the therapeutic effects of different doses of escitalopram, exercise, and exercise-accompanied escitalopram on synaptic potency and long-term plasticity in the hippocampal CA1 area in rats under chronic restraint stress.
Materials and MethodsThe rats were allocated to different groups. The chronic restraint stress (6 hr/day) continued for 14 days. Injection of escitalopram (10 and 20 mg/kg) and treadmill running (1 hr/day) were performed after the stress induction. The input/output (I/O) functions and LTP induction were evaluated in the hippocampal CA1 area.
ResultsThe fEPSP slope and amplitude after the LTP induction significantly decreased in the chronically stressed group. However, the serum corticosterone levels had significant enhancement in this group. In addition to serum corticosterone levels, the fEPSP slope and amplitude after the LTP induction were enhanced by exercise, escitalopram 20 mg/kg alone, and exercise-accompanied escitalopram 10 and/or 20 mg/kg in chronically stressed groups.
ConclusionOverall, chronic stress impaired synaptic potency and long-term plasticity. These impairments were effectively reversed by exercise, escitalopram 20 mg/kg alone, and exercise-accompanied escitalopram 10 and 20 mg/kg. However, escitalopram 10 mg/kg alone could not alleviate the memory deficits in chronically stressed subjects. Therefore, exercise with both doses of escitalopram seems to have had additive effects on chronic stress conditions.

Background
Vitamin D (Vit-D) is a necessary ingredient for human growth and its deficiency may increase the risk of cancer and its recurrence. The main purpose of this research was to assess the levels of Vit-D in children with recurrence of malignancy and compare it with new cases of malignancy and the control group.
MethodsThe status of 25(OH) Vit-D was determined utilizing the HPLC method in 47 patients with recurrence of malignancy (group A), 50 children with new malignancy (group B) and 49 normal healthy siblings of the two groups as a control (group C).
ResultsVit-D was low (<30 ng/ml) in the 92% of patients with recurrence of malignancy, which was a significant difference compared to groups B (60%) and C (45%). Vit-D insufficiency (10-30 ng/dl) in group A was also higher than the other two groups. The mean levels of Vit-D in patients with recurrence were significantly lower than the new cases and controls. Low Vit-D (<30 ng/ml) in group A in both male and female, and also in all ages (<6 and ≥ 6 years) was higher than groups B and C. Also, low Vit-D in terms of the type of malignancy in group A was higher than group B only in leukemic patients while this was not different for non-leukemic patients in these two groups.
ConclusionResults of this study showed an increased prevalence of low Vit-D in children with recurrence of malignancies. Therefore, it may increase the risk of recurrence of malignancies in children.

The development of secondary malignancy (SM) is the most worrisome long-term complication of childhood cancer. Acute myeloid leukemia is the most prevalent neoplasm that occurs after treatment with alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors. Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare lung neoplasm in children. Type II and type III of this cancer are markedly aggressive and have a recurrent nature. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are treatment modalities that make these patients prone to secondary malignancy. Here was presented and discussed a case of myeloid leukemia 3.5 years after treatment of Pleuropulmonary blastoma in a 5.5-year-old boy who was a candidate for high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cells transplant (auto-SCT) because of frequent recurrence and lack of response to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It seems this is the first reported case of therapy-related myeloid leukemia (t-AML) after PPB in children. Awareness of the creation of this complication following administration of cytotoxic therapies in the treatment of solid tumors will increase physician attention in the selection of treatment modality as well as the counseling of patients at the time of diagnosis.

Background
Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare, autosomal recessive platelet function disorder which is commonly mistaken for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).The report includes seven cases of BSS that have been diagnosed and treated as ITP for a long time.
MethodsBetween 2006 and 2016, data of seven BSS patients who have long been diagnosed and treated as ITP were collected and analyzed.
ResultsTwo patients were males and 5 were females. The patient's age range was between one day and four years at the onset of symptoms. Easy bruising, nose bleeds and mucocutaneous bleeding were the most frequent symptoms. Bleeding attacks of the gum, gastrointestinal tract and menorrhagia also occurred and in one case bleeding in the injection site of the first vaccination was reported. In 6 patients, parents were relatives and in three cases, there was a family history of low platelet counts. Variable thrombocytopenia, prolonged bleeding time (BT), and large platelets with increased bone marrow megakaryocyte were seen in all cases. Most patients were treated with steroids, Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and some with IV anti-D, Azathioprine, Danazol, Rituximab. Splenectomy was performed in one case. In supplementary tests the platelet aggregation to ristocetin was absent and GPIb expression level by flow cytometry method was lower than 10%.
ConclusionBSS should always be considered in differential diagnosis of ITP especially in persistent and refractory ITP.

BackgroundCompared to intrathecal methotrexate (IT MTX), triple intrathecal therapy (TIT) has shown promising results in decreasing central nervous system (CNS) relapse in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We aimed to compare these two IT regimens in terms of CNS relapse, survival, and IQ in Iranian non-high risk ALL children.Materials and MethodsIn a two phases clinical trial study, 203 children with non-high risk ALL, aged 1-10 years at diagnosis, who were previously treated with the same systemic protocol but with two different IT regimens, based on IT regimen allocated to IT MTX (n = 109) and TIT (n = 84) groups were studied. In phase 1, isolated CNS relapses (i-CNS) and five-year survival of the two groups was compared, and in phase 2, IQ score of survivors of two groups was measured and compared.ResultsThe overall rate of i-CNS relapse was 13.8% and the incidence of i-CNS relapse in contrast to other areas in the IT MTX group, was higher than in the TIT group (17.4% vs. 9.6%; P= 0.03). Most i-CNS relapses were asymptomatic and "early" and there was no significant relation between IT formulation and secondary relapse and mortality rate in patients with i-CNS relapse (P> 0.05). The 5-year survival of TIT group was more than the IT MTX group (80.9% vs.70.6%; P=0.04), but the mean scores of full-scale, verbal, and performance IQ (except cubes) were not significantly different in the two groups.ConclusionBased on the results, TIT regimen compared to IT MTX reduced i-CNS relapse and increased 5-year survival in Iranian children with ALL but had no significant differences in total IQ score.Keywords: Children, Leukemia, Therapeutics, Recurrence, Survival}

Background
Neurocognitive deficits and decrease in intelligence quotient (IQ) is one of the complication of prophylactic central nervous system (CNS) treatment in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. In this study, we compare the IQ in survivors of ALL that were treated with different prophylactic CNS treatments.
Materials and MethodsWe compared 43 long-term survivors of ALL: 21 survivors with intrathecal methotrexate (IT MTX) as CNS prophylaxis, 22 with IT MTX+1800-2400 rads cranial irradiation and 20 healthy controls. The IQ was measured using the Raven’s test in these patients.
ResultsRaven’s test revealed significant differences in IQ between the survivors of ALL that were treated with IT MTX, IT MTX plus cranial irradiation and control group. There was no significant difference in the IQ with respect to sex, age and irradiation dose.
ConclusionWe can that reveal that CNS prophylaxis treatment, especially the combined treatment, is associated with IQ score decline in ALL survivors. Therefore,a baseline and an annual assessment of their educational progress are suggested.

People with inclusion criteria based on cumulative dose of daunomycin were divided into two groups. First group of patients were those who received cumulative daunomycin dose fewer than 250 mg/m2 and second group with cumulative dose equal to or greater than 250 mg/m2. In all patients after obtaining consent and taking history, blood levels of cardiac-troponin-T and Shortening Fraction (FS) and Ejection Fraction (EF) indices was measured. Collected data was analyzed by SPSS.FindingsAmong 55 patients treated with daunomycin, three patients were diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, all of which were in the second group (P < 0.048). The mean EF in the first group and second group were respectively 65.03+4.26 and 61.4+6.56 (P < 0.02). The mean SF in the first and second group were respectively 34.23+4.19 and 31.92+4 (P < 0.04). Cardiac troponin-T test result was positive in 4 patients from the second group but in the first group there were no positive tests (P < 0.037). There was no significant relationship between cardiomyopathy and increased level of cardiac troponin-T (P = 0.21).ConclusionAcute lymphocytic leukemia patients treated with daunomycin were at risk for cardiac complications. It is recommended to avoid therapy with a dose more than 250 mg/m2. Since there was not any correlation between cardiac troponin-T level and cardiomyopathy, cardiac troponin-T can not be a reliable marker of delayed cardiotoxicity.
