    Background & Objective

    Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Treatment methods for this disease have been with poor results. In recent years, more attention has been paid to stem cells due to their cytotoxic properties. According to previous results, the effect of nanoquercetin on breast cancer cells in this study was used concomitantly with doxorubicin, which is a chemotherapy drug and in some patients has therapeutic resistance.

    Materials & Methods

    The above study was performed on MCF7 and BT474 human breast cancer cells. Quercetin was synthesized, then different concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 of quercetin and 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 μg/ml of doxorubicin were prepared and two cell lines were treated for 24 h. MTT test was used to determine cell viability and flow cytometry test was used to determine the extent of apoptosis in both cell lines.

    Results

    The results showed that MCF7 and BT474 cells that were affected by quercetin and doxorubicin, increasing the concentration of quercetin and doxorubicin decreased the survival of both cell lines within 24 h. The LC50 concentration was calculated for both cells treated with nanoquercetin 40 μg/ml and for doxorubicin doxorubicin (0.1 mg/ml). The results also showed that in both cell lines, an increase in cellular apoptosis occurred after incubation with quercetin and then incubation with doxorubicin.

    Conclusion

    Comparison of doxorubicin (DOX), quercetin (QU) and quercetin and doxorubicin (QU-DOX) groups with controls shows that with the presence of quercetin-doxorubicin, it had a greater inhibitory effect on cancer cells.

    Context:

    In late 2019, COVID-19 launched a pandemic from around Wuhan, China. It`s called the SARS-CoV-2 virus which belongs to the corona family and it has a lot in common with SARS-CoV-2, but it has been reported to be more common.

    Evidence Acquisition:

    The risk of the virus is high for people with high blood pressure and use medication. The reason for this potential and risk for COVID-19 is an increase in expression in a membrane protein called ACE2. This protein is responsible for converting Ang I to Ang1-9 as well as converting Ang II to Ang1-7.

    Results

    Its pathogenic role is due to its receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. Research has shown that there is a significant link between hypertension, Increase the expression and activity of ACE2 and having coronavirus. That`s why our goal is to remind people of high blood pressure about the risk of developing Covid-19. We studied ACE2 and Covid-19 from a clinical and biological point of view. In the following we have shownthe position and the type of virus connection to ACE2 with the help of protein database.

    Conclusion

    In the SARS-Cov-2, there are four structural proteins and several non-structural proteins together with capsid can contain positive-stranded RNA viruses. Studies have shown that the Spike (S) protein binds strongly to the chain E and F with the ACE2 receptor.

    Background and Aim

    Neurofibromatosis-1(NF-1) is a common genetic condition in children. It is becoming increasingly recognized that in neurofibromatosis, there might be anomalous development of bone with or without any local anomaly of neuro-ectodermal basis. This review was conducted to highlight the different features of spinal disorders in this congenital disease.

    Methods and Materials: 

    Different search engines were used in this research. After going through the results and discarding the repeated ones, 2 reviewers began to inspect the studies independent of one another. Should any disagreements take place over the inclusion of certain research material into the study, the final decision would belong to the senior writer. In the end, accepted research materials were used as needed in categorizing different types of spinal injuries.

    Results

    Skeletal defects are among the most impactful complications on the quality of life of patients. Bone deformities, osteoporosis, osteopenia, a reduction of bone mass density, and spinal osteopathy such as scoliosis count among such defects. Although the relative prevalence of spinal defects in neurofibromatosis type 1 is not clear, scoliosis can be considered the most common type of spinal deformity in this illness to the point it is present in 10 to 71% of cases. So, spine surgeons may involve numerous public challenging conditions in NF-1 patients like scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, and dural ectasia.

    Conclusion

    Thus, Because NF-1 distresses several organ systems, radiologic spine screening is important in patients with NF-1 and patients are likely to profit most from a multidisciplinary treatment policy.

    Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins. Up to now, 13 AQPs have been known in mammals. AQPs play a key role in water osmotic flow in various cells. the members of aquaporin protein family have been identified as H2O transposters across organelle and plasma membranes. AQPs of the aquaammoniaporin type are highly permeable for water and ammonia. In this study, we have evaluated the structure of AQP5 using two computational methods. We investigated the potential and kinetic energy, as well as maximum and minimum difference of atomic charge for AQP5. The atomic study of AQP5 protein showed that the minimum and maximum value of atomic charge in the presence and absence of water were related to sections (1-15). The water effect is generally considered to be the major driving force in the folding of AQP5. different sections of AQP5 behaved different in the presence or absence of water, and have different functionalities. Also, the absolute value of atomic charge difference for AQP5 sections was proven as an important feature in protein structural changes.HIGHLIGHTS•AQP5’s function and structure are dependent on the presence and absence of water.•The presence of water molecules around AQP5 protein causes changes in dynamic properties.•The optimum functions of AQP5 are arisen at low energy levels and the presence of water.•kinetic energy for AQP5 protein in mode of no water has the lowest fluctuations but in presence of water considerable fluctuations are seen.

    Background
    Gliomas are the most frequently observed primary brain tumors. These tumors comprise a variety of different histological tumor types and malignancy grades. Oligodendrogliomas typically contain a rich network of branching capillaries. Approximately 50%-80% of oligodendrogliomas demonstrate a combined loss of chromosomes 1p and 19q. Oligodendrogliomas differ from neurocytomas in that they show a diffusely infiltrating pattern of spread that precludes surgical cure.
    Methods
    We evaluated extracted proteins from tumors and normal brain tissues for protein purity by the Bradford test and spectrophotometry. We separated proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The spots were analyzed and compared using statistical data and MALDI-TOF/TOF. Protein clustering analyses were performed on the list of proteins deemed significantly altered in oligodendroglioma tumor tissues.
    Results
    On each analytical two-dimensional gel, we observed an average of 1328 spots. A total of 157 exhibited up-regulation of expression levels, whereas the remaining 276 spots had decreased expression in astrocytoma tumors relative to normal tissue. The results demonstrated that functional clustering and principal component analysis had considerable merit in aiding the interpretation of proteomic data.
    Conclusion
    Clustering methodology is a powerful data mining approach for initial exploration of proteomic data. The clustering results depend on parameters such as data preprocessing, between-profile similarity measurement and the dendrogram construction procedure.

    Male infertility is a distressingly common condition affecting about 1 in 20 of the male population. In a majority of the cases, the male partner produces sufficient numbers of spermatozoa to achieve fertilization but there are functional defects in these cells that prevent conception from occurring. In this study, the effects of Wi-Fi radiation on spermatogenesis, testes and testosterone of large white male rats were studied, and also hydro alcoholic extract of sea buckthorn fruit were used as a protective agent against the effects of Wi-Fi radiation, and the comparative study was done.For this study 60 white male laboratory rats weighing 200-250 g were selected then tested in good conditions of light and food. The mice were randomly divided in terms of Wi-Fi Radiation and received gavage Sea buckthorn into 6 out of groups of 10.It was found that in the groups that had received Wi-Fi radiation, waves did not affect sperm count, testes weight, testosterone and testicular tissue, but it caused a significant decrease in fertilized sperm motility, and sea buckthorn extract could work as a protective agent against the radiations. According to the results of this research, it can be the probability that Sea buckthorn extract, having antioxidant substance can prevent destructive effects of waves that cause free radicals and having vitamin E improves sperm quality.

    Nowadays brain tumors remain as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and are often treatment refractory. The grading of brain tumor has an important implication in clinical management. Currently, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an important modality in evaluating and grading brain tumors. The aim of this study is evaluation of metabolites in the differentiation of brain tumors and grading of brain gliomas using HMRS (proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy). The studies were performed using single voxel MRS، 3Tesla with pulse of sequence used for MRS was point resolved single volume spectroscopy (PRESS) with repetition time (TR) 1000-6000ms and echo time (TE) 36-136ms and The detected distinguished metabolites was included Choline (Cho), Creatin (Cr), and N-acetyl a aspartate (NAA), 37cases had data which passed quality control. The Patient ages ranged from 7 To 81 years, 17 were male and 20 female. MRS data was processed using SYNGO software to give mean spectra and metabolite concentrations which were compared using min it a band SPSS. To test the primary hypothesis, univariate logistic regression was performed on each individual measured metabolite quantity. Significant differences were found in concentrations of key metabolites and Cho/NAA and Cho/Cr ratios using T-test and significance (P≤0. 05). In the assessment of age rate and tumor grading, the malignancies of brain tumors did not correlate with patients’ ages as well as sexuality. MRS can detect subtle differences between low grade brain tumors in children and should form part of the clinical assessment of these tumors.

Several of the molecular alterations detected in gliomas may have diagnostic and/or prognostic implications, proteomics has been widely applied in various areas of science, ranging from the deciphering of molecular pathogen nests of discuses.
    Method
    We extracted proteins of tumor and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test and spectrophotometery method. In this study, we separated proteins by two-dimensional (2DG) gel electrophoresis method and the spots were then analyzed and compared using statistical data and specific software. Proteins clustering analyses were performed on the list of proteins deemed significantly altered in glioblastoma tumors (t-test and one-way ANOVA; P < 0.05).
    Results
    The 2D gel showed totally 876 spots. We reported, 172 spots exhibited different in expression level (fold > 2) for glioblastoma. On each analytical 2D gel, an average of 876 spots was observed. In this study, 188 spots exhibited up regulation of expression level, whereas the remaining 232 spots decreased in glioblastoma tumor relative to normal tissue. Results demonstrate that functional clustering (up and down regulated) and principal component analysis has considerable merits in aiding the interpretation of proteomic data.
    Conclusion
    At the core of proteomics was 2D gel electrophoresis witch permitted the separation of thousands of protein, High resolution 2DE can resolve up to 5,000 proteins simultaneously. Using cluster analysis, we can also from groups of related variables, similar to what you do in factor analysis.

    Protein memories are novel technologies which use the hidden abilities of bacteria proteins and biological molecules in order to the electronic processes. Four decades before baceriorhdopsin (BR) protein was extracted from the membrane of Halobacerinum Salina rum found in high salt water depositions after its original discovery in 1967. In this study, for immobilizing the protein a film has been provided from the different weight/volume use of polyvinyl alcohol and gelatin polymers. Then a suspension of protein bacteriorhodopsin with the 3/2 mg.ml -1 has been used that according to the spectroscopy and determining their activity, optimizing concentration of a film containing bacteriodospian has been obtained. Polymeric film containing bacteriorhodopsin protein has been injected on the glass and by use of spin coater, after obtaining optimizing protocol become stabilized. After that the biological activity of the bacteriorhodopsin protein has been studied. Several biological molecules are being considered based on their usage in computers sciences, as though the bacterial protein – BR has generated much interest among scientists. Functional immobilization of membrane proteins requires consideration of their physiological needs, often dictated by the quality and components of the natural hydrophobic environment surrounding this class of proteins.

    Background
    Asterocytoma is the most common primary human brain tumor which has the most lethal hazard among tumors in human Central Nervous System. Heat Shock Proteins play an active role in cancer cells pathways through their effects on tumor cell proliferation, tumor differentiation, malignancy, metastasis, and cell death. HSP70 is a 70 KD protein that its expression change has been reported in various kinds of cancers. Here a proteomic activity for molecular diagnosis of Asterocytomas tumors is designed.
    Methods
    Proteins of tumor and normal brain tissues were extracted and then evaluated by Bradford test. In this study, the proteins were separated by 2DG Electrophoresis method, and then the spots were analyzed and compared using statistical data and specific software, after providing 3D images of spots alteration. Spots were identified by Isoelectric point (pI), molecular weights and data banks.
    Results
    As a result, the 2D gel showed totally 800 spots. HSP70 is one of down regulated proteins.
    Conclusion
    As conclusion, alteration of HSP70 expression was detected in Asterocytomas which has an important role in tumor survival and development, response to cell stress and induces apoptosis in cells. Three kinds of HSP70 are known in different cancers: HSP70-1, HSP70-2 and HSP70-8 which affect limitation of apoptosis system in cancer cells.
