Multi-objective placement and sizing of energy hubs in energy networks considering generation and consumption uncertainties.

This paper presents the placement and sizing of energy hubs (EHs) in electricity, gas, and heating networks. EH is a coordinator framework for various power sources, storage devices, and responsive loads. For simultaneous modeling of economic, operation, reliability, and flexibility indices, the proposed scheme is expressed as a three-objective optimization in the form of Pareto optimization based on the sum of weighted functions. The objective functions of this problem respectively minimize the planning cost of EHs (equal to the total cost of construction of hubs and their expected operating cost), the expected energy loss of the mentioned networks, and the expected energy not-supplied (EENS) of these networks in the case of an N - 1 event. The problem is constrained by power flow equations and operation and reliability constraints of these network together with the EH planning and operation model, and flexibility constraints of the EHs. Then, to achieve unique optimal solution in the shortest possible time, a linear approximation model is extracted for the proposed scheme. Moreover, scenario-based stochastic programming (SBSP) is employed to model uncertainties of load, energy cost, renewable power, and accessibility of the mentioned network equipment. Finally, the obtained numerical results indicate the capability of the proposed scheme in enhancing the economic and flexibility situation of EHs and improving the reliability and operation status of energy networks along with achieving optimal planning and operation for EHs.

Qualitative Classification of Proximal Femoral Bone Using Geometric Features and Texture Analysis in Collected MRI Images for Bone Density Evaluation.

The aim of this study was to use geometric features and texture analysis to discriminate between healthy and unhealthy femurs and to identify the most influential features. We scanned proximal femoral bone (PFB) of 284 Iranian cases (21 to 83 years old) using different dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanners and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. Subjects were labeled as "healthy" (T-score > -0.9) and "unhealthy" based on the results of DEXA scans. Based on the geometry and texture of the PFB in MRI, 204 features were retrieved. We used support vector machine (SVM) with different kernels, decision tree, and logistic regression algorithms as classifiers and the Genetic algorithm (GA) to select the best set of features and to maximize accuracy. There were 185 participants classified as healthy and 99 as unhealthy. The SVM with radial basis function kernels had the best performance (89.08%) and the most influential features were geometrical ones. Even though our findings show the high performance of this model, further investigation with more subjects is suggested. To our knowledge, this is the first study that investigates qualitative classification of PFBs based on MRI with reference to DEXA scans using machine learning methods and the GA.

Evaluation of curcumin effect on Il6, Sirt1, TNFα and NFkB expression of liver tissues in diabetic mice with STZ.

Background: Curcumin is active ingredient of turmeric The main purpose of this study is evaluating impact of curcumin on suger, hypoalgesia and inflammatory factors in diabetic mice. Materials and methods: Male mice divided into six groups of 6. One group as a negative and the other five groups injected with Streptozotocin (STZ) (200 mg/kg). Diabetic mice in each group given different treatments for twenty-one days.After that, blood sugar and neuroathy studies have been done and tissue samples the liver were studied for gene expression. Result: Curcumin reduced blood sugar, but the rate of hypoglycemia was significantly lower than metformin group P > 0.05, and the comparison of the synergistic effect of curcumin and metformin with metformin was not significant P > 0.05. Also, in neuropathy studies, the groups which recieved curcumin and metformin have shown a significant difference with diabetic group P < 0.01, Also, by evaluating inflammatory factors, there was a significant difference in the expression of TNF-a, IL-6 and NfkB, but there is no significant difference in the expression of Sirt1 P < 0.05. Conclusions: The analgesic effect of curcumin was quite evident, probably due to the significant impact of this herbal drug in reducing the expression of inflammatory genes NF-kB, IL6, and TNF-α.

Association investigations between ACE1 and ACE2 polymorphisms and severity of COVID-19 disease.

Due to the unique affinity of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in patients, the foremost recent evidence indicated that ACE1 and ACE2 polymorphisms could affect the susceptibility of individuals to SARS-CoV-2 infection and also the disease outcome. Here, we aimed to assess the possible association between two polymorphisms and the severity of disease in patients. In the present study, 146 patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences hospitals between March 2020 and July 2020 were enrolled in this case-control study. The patients were divided into four groups based on clinical symptoms and severity of the diseases (mild, moderate, severe, and critical). After DNA extraction, the ACE gene I/D polymorphism (rs4646994) and ACE2 gene polymorphism (rs2285666) were genotyped using Gap-PCR and PCR-RFLP techniques, respectively. Then, five samples from each obtained genotype were confirmed by Sanger sequencing technique. Data were analyzed with SAS software version 9.1 using appropriate statistical procedures. The ACE gene I/D polymorphism (rs4646994) genotypes were classified into three types: I/I, I/D, and D/D. Our finding indicated that the prevalence of ACE1 D/D genotype was significantly higher in severe and critical COVID-19 patients (P = 0.0016). Additionally, the analysis revealed a remarkable association between rs4646994 SNP and the HB and ESRI levels in patients (P < 0.05). Although the ACE2 rs2285666 SNP was not related to the severity of disease, this variant was significantly associated with ALT, ESRI, and P. These results provide preliminary evidence of a genetic association between the ACE-D/D genotype and the D allele of ACE1 genotype and the disease severity. Therefore, our findings might be useful for identifying the susceptible population groups for COVID-19 therapy.

The combined effect of fish oil containing Omega-3 fatty acids and Lactobacillus plantarum on colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the deadliest malignancies. Recent attempts have indicated the role of diet in the etiology of CRC. Natural dietary compounds such as probiotics and Omega-3 fatty acids that act synergistically can be beneficial in finding a tremendous solution against CRC. To date, the combined effect of fish oil containing Omega-3 fatty acids (Omega-3) and Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) on CRC has been left behind. We here evaluated the effects of co-encapsulation of Omega-3 and probiotic bacteria on CRC cell lines compared to normal cells. Omega-3 and L. plantarum bacteria were co-encapsulated in three ways, including gelatin-gum Arabic, gelatin-chitosan, and chitosan-gum Arabic complex coacervate microcapsules. After treatment of cells (Normal [L929] and colorectal [C26]) by L. plantarum, Omega-3, and microcapsules, viability and growth capacity of cell lines were measured using the MTT (3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Isolated total RNA was used to evaluate the expression profile of BCL2-associated X protein (BAX), B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2), and Caspase-3 (CASP3) genes by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 25 software. A value of p < .05 was considered statistically significant. The results indicated a significant reduction in cell viability of C26 in a concentration-dependent manner in the treated cells with all treatments, except gelatin-gum Arabic microcapsules. The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of the BAX and CASP3 genes in C26 cells being treated with all treatments significantly increased than in untreated cells, and the expression level of the anti-apoptotic factor of the BCL-2 gene decreased in C26 cells simultaneously (p < .05). Although, the combined effect of Omega-3 and L. plantarum and microcapsulated treatments had no more effect on viability and apoptosis gene expression of cancer cells compared to Omega-3 or L. plantarum. In conclusion, combination therapy with fish oil containing Omega-3 and L. plantarum does not improve the anticancer effect of each alone.

Gene Networks and Pathways Involved in LPS-Induced Proliferative Response of Bovine Endometrial Epithelial Cells.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria involved in the pathogenic processes leading to mastitis and metritis in animals such as dairy cattle. LPS causes cell proliferation associated with endometrium inflammation. Former in vitro studies have demonstrated that LPS induces an intense stimulation of the proliferation of a pure population of bovine endometrial epithelial cells. In a follow-up transcriptomic study based on RNA-sequencing data obtained after 24 h exposure of primary bovine endometrial epithelial cells to 0, 2, and 8 µg/mL LPS, 752 and 727 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected between the controls and LPS-treated samples that encode proteins known to be associated with either proliferation or apoptosis, respectively. The present bioinformatic analysis was performed to decipher the gene networks involved to obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the proliferative and apoptosis processes. Our findings have revealed 116 putative transcription factors (TFs) and the most significant number of interactions between these TFs and DEGs belong to NFKß1, TP53, STAT1, and HIF1A. Moreover, our results provide novel insights into the early signaling and metabolic pathways in bovine endometrial epithelial cells associated with the innate immune response and cell proliferation to Escherichia coli-LPS infection. The results further indicated that LPS challenge elicited a strong transcriptomic response, leading to potent activation of pro-inflammatory pathways that are associated with a marked endometrial cancer, Toll-like receptor, NFKß, AKT, apoptosis, and MAPK signaling pathways. This effect may provide a mechanistic explanation for the relationship between LPS and cell proliferation.

Effects of Environmental Temperature and Humidity on Milk Composition, Microbial Load, and Somatic Cells in Milk of Holstein Dairy Cows in the Northeast Regions of Iran.

The present study aims to examine the relationships between temperature and humidity and milk composition, microbial load, and somatic cells in the milk of Holstein dairy cows. For this purpose, the temperature−humidity index, ambient temperature, and relative humidity data were obtained from the nearest weather stations. Production data were obtained from four dairy farms in Golestan province, Iran, collected from 2016 to 2021. The traits investigated were protein, fat, solids-not-fat (SNF), microbial load, and somatic cell count (SCC) in milk. The effects of the environmental temperature, humidity, month, and season on the milk composition, microbial load, and somatic cells were analyzed through analysis of variance. The effects of environmental temperature, humidity, month, and season on the milk composition, microbial load, and somatic cell composition were analyzed using a mixed procedure with a restricted maximum likelihood model. Although our findings revealed that there were significant differences in fat, protein, SNF, and SCC among the different months of the year (p < 0.01), no significant difference was observed in the total microbial count in milk. Environmental temperature presented significant impacts on fat, protein, SNF, SCC, and total microbial count within various temperature ranges (p < 0.01). When the temperature increased from 6.2 °C to 31.3 °C, the milk protein, fat, SNF, and somatic cell count significantly decreased, by approximately 4.09%, 5.75%, 1.31%, and 16.8%, respectively; meanwhile, the microbial count in milk significantly increased, by approximately 13.7%. Humidity showed an influence on fat, protein, non-fat solids, somatic cells, and total microbial count within different temperature ranges (p < 0.01). When the humidity increased from 54% to 82%, the milk protein, fat, SNF, and SCC significantly increased, by approximately 3.61%, 4.84%, 1.06%, and 10.2%, respectively; meanwhile, the microbial count in milk significantly decreased, by approximately 16.3%. The results demonstrate that there is a negative correlation between different months of the year, temperature, and the humidity of the environment, in terms of milk components and SCC. Our findings demonstrate that the optimum performance, in terms of milk composition, occurred in the first quarter of the year. As temperature increases and humidity decreases, milk quality decreases. Therefore, the adverse effects of environmental conditions on agricultural profits are not negligible, and strategies to better deal with the negative environmental effects are needed in order to improve milk quality in dairy cows.

Isolation of the Anticoagulant and Procoagulant Fractions of the Venom of Iranian Endemic Echis carinatus.

Background: The venom of Echis carinatus contains both procoagulant and anticoagulant components that can either promote or block the blood coagulation cascade, and some of these components affect platelet function in different ways. Objectives: The present study focuses on setting up a procedure for the purification of crude venom and designing appropriate clotting tests in order to characterize the procoagulant and anticoagulant fractions of E. carinatus venom. Methods: Chromatographic methods, including gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), were applied for purifying these fractions. Coagulant activity testing, prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were used to determine procoagulant and anticoagulant properties. For measuring molecular weight, 15% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis with a molecular weight standard ranging from 6.5 to 200 kDa was used. Results: We obtained five fractions named F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5. The F1 and F2 fractions showed procoagulant activity, and the F5 fraction had anticoagulant activity. The molecular weight of F2.4.2 from fraction F2 and F5.1 from fraction F5 were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis under the reducing condition. These factors were identified as a single protein band at the end of purification. The molecular weights of these purified fractions were estimated to be 7.5 kDa and 38 kDa for F5.1(b) and F2.4.2(b), respectively. Conclusions: Our findings suggest an efficient and suitable procedure for the identification and purification of the procoagulant and anticoagulant factors of the venom of Iranian E. carinatus using the PT and APTT assays.

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) and the DNA damage response: The link between signaling pathways and cancer.

At the cellular level, DNA repair mechanisms are crucial in maintaining both genomic integrity and stability. DNA damage appears to be a central culprit in tumor onset and progression. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and their regulatory partners coordinate the cell cycle progression. Aberrant CDK activity has been linked to a variety of cancers through deregulation of cell-cycle control. Besides DNA damaging agents and chromosome instability (CIN), disruptions in the levels of cell cycle regulators including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) would result in unscheduled proliferation and cell division. The INK4 and Cip/Kip (CDK interacting protein/kinase inhibitor protein) family of CDKI proteins are involved in cell cycle regulation, transcription regulation, apoptosis, and cell migration. A thorough understanding of how these CDKIs regulate the DNA damage response through multiple signaling pathways may provide an opportunity to design efficient treatment strategies to inhibit carcinogenesis.

First report of c.425-1G>A mutation in ornithine aminotransferase gene causing gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina with hyperornithinemia.

BACKGROUND: Gyrate atrophy is a rare autosomal recessive inherited genetic disease. Progressive deterioration of peripheral night vision and blindness are the foremost clinical manifestations of the disease caused by mutations of ornithine aminotransferase gene. CASE: The presented case was an 18-year-old male referred for a progressive reduction of visual acuity, which started when the subject was 7 years old, blurred vision, and hypotonic muscles. OBSERVATIONS: The findings by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography methods exhibited a high level of ornithine: 248 µmol/L (reference range: 44-206 µmol/L) and 818 µmol/L (reference: 25-123 µmol/L), respectively. After genetic counseling and conducting further investigation, a novel mutation (c.425-1G>A) in ornithine aminotransferase gene was recognized through whole exome sequencing and the mutation was verified using Sanger sequencing method, which is associated with gyrate atrophy phenotype. CONCLUSION: The exact mechanism of chorioretinal atrophy in hyperornithinemia is not known but the increased ornithine level is the clinical manifestation of gyrate atrophy of choroid and retina, muscle weakness, moderate mental retardation, and low cerebral creatine. Pathogenic variant in the ornithine aminotransferase gene associated with gyrate atrophy, may be beneficial as a biomarker to initial diagnosis and treatment of gyrate atrophy disease.

The effect of Spirulina platensis meal on antioxidant gene expression, total antioxidant capacity, and lipid peroxidation of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of diets containing 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% S. platensis meal on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and lipid peroxidation, as well as the expression of two antioxidant enzyme genes (SOD and CAT) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). One hundred and eighty fish, with an average initial weight of 101 ± 8 g, were cultured for 10 weeks. At the end of experiment, lipid peroxidation significantly decreased in serum of fish fed with S. platensis and fish fed with 5, 7.5, and 10% microalgae showed a significantly lower value compared to control and 2.5%. Inclusion of 7.5 and 10% S. platensis in diet also decreased lipid peroxidation in liver. TAC significantly increased with increasing level of S. platensis. Expression level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) genes significantly increased in the fish liver after administration of microalgae and fish fed with 10% S. platensis in diet showed the highest level compared to the other treatments. The present study reveals that inclusion of 10% S. platensis in diet can decrease oxidative stress in rainbow trout. Therefore, S. platensis can be used as potential antioxidant for fish farming.

Polymorphism detection of promoter region of IFN-γ and IL-2 genes and their association with productive traits in Mazandaran native breeder fowls.

To identify polymorphism in interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) genes, blood samples were collected from 380 breeder hens of the Mazandaran native fowls breeding station. DNA extraction was performed through a modified saltingout method and fragments of 670 and 659 bp from the promoter regions of IFN-γ and IL-2 genes were amplified by using specific primers, respectively. Following genotyping in the IFN-γ gene using the Tsp509I restriction enzyme, two alleles of A and G with the frequencies of 0.55 and 0.45 and three genotypes of AA, AG and GG were observed with the frequencies of 0.32, 0.46 and 0.22, respectively. For the IL-2 gene, two alleles of A and G were also detected using the MnlI restriction enzyme with the frequencies of 0.58 and 0.42 and three genotypes of AA, AG and GG with the frequencies of 0.33, 0.50 and 0.17, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between IL-2 gene single-nucleotide polymorphism and productive traits including the average egg weight (EW) at 345-375 days of age, egg number (EN) at 345-375 days of age and body weight (BW) at 8weeks of age traits (P<0.05). Further, in a mean comparison analysis, there were also significant differences between different genotypes of the IL-2 gene in average EWat 28 and 30weeks of age, in which AG genotypes showed higher performance. Additionally, for the IFN-γ gene, a significant difference was found between the genotypes in average EW at 28 weeks of age trait. Therefore, it can be concluded that the above-mentioned polymorphisms could be considered as the pivotal geneticmakers to improveMazandaran native fowl breeding programmes to achieve the optimum performance in productive traits more efficiently.

Expression of MT1 receptor in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and its relationship with clinicopathological features.

Gastric cancer accounts 8% of the total cancer cases leading to 10% of total cancer deaths worldwide. The indoleamine N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, better known as melatonin, is the principal hormone produced by the pineal gland. Recently, it has been well documented some anti-cancer roles of melatonin in some malignancies as breast and colon cancer; as well as some its protective roles in the GI tract that have been known as free radical scavenger, antimitogenic and apoptotic properties. According to the anti-cancer effects of melatonin, wide distribution of this neurohormone in GI tract and some proposed physiologic and pharmacologic roles for this neurohormone and following our previous study which has shown expression of MT2 receptor in gastric adenocarcinoma, this study initially scheduled to determine the expression of melatonin receptor MT1 in tissue samples of adenocarcinoma cancer patients. A total of 10 gastric adenocarcinoma patients and 10 normal individuals were examined for MT1 gene expression by real-time PCR. Additionally, for screening of different alleles of MT1 in our samples, the SSCP-PCR procedure was developed. Our results have shown interestingly high expression for MT1 receptor in cancer and marginal cancer groups comparing with normal group. Our findings also have shown that a remarkable association between MT1 receptor mRNA levels and grade in individuals over age 50. PCR-SSCP analysis results showed a variation between individuals which may be effective on their gene expression patterns. According to our knowledge, for the first time this study evaluated the expression of MT1 receptor gene in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues which consistent with our previous study but with some difference in comparisons between kind of tissue expression and difference in polymorphisms. Moreover, these results show the defending role of melatonin in the GI system.

Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, reduces post-peak age-related regression of rooster reproductive performance.

This study was designed to evaluate orally administrated Letrozole (Lz) on reproductive performance, plasma testosterone and estradiol concentrations and relative abundance of mRNA of GnRH, FSH and LH in roosters. Ross 308 roosters (n=32) that were 40-weeks of age were individually housed and received a basal standard diet supplemented different amounts of capsulated Lz [0 (Lz-0), 0.5 (Lz-0.5), 1 (Lz-1) or 1.5 (Lz-1.5), mg Lz/bird/day] for 12 weeks. Sperm quality variables and plasma testosterone and estradiol concentrations were assessed from the first to the tenth week of the treatment period. Semen samples from the 11th to 12th week were used for artificial insemination and eggs were collected and allotted to assess fertility and hatchability rates. Relative abundance of hypothalamic and pituitary GnRH, LH and FSH mRNA was evaluated at the end of 12th week. The results indicated that total and forward sperm motility as well as egg hatchability rate were greater in the Lz-0.5 group. Greater sperm concentrations, ejaculate volume, sperm plasma membrane integrity, testis index and fertility rates were recorded for both Lz-0.5 and Lz-1 groups compared with the Lz-0 group (P<0.05). Body weight, percentage of sperm abnormalities, and sperm plasma membrane functionality were not affected by treatment. Testosterone and estradiol concentrations were negatively related with greater testosterone concentrations in the Lz-1.5 group which had lesser estradiol concentrations. Relative mRNA transcript abundance for GnRH, LH and FSH was Lz dose responsive being greater in the treated groups; however, this trend plateaued for GnRH and for the relative abundance of both LH and FSH mRNA was less in the Lz-1.5 group than the other treatment groups. It is concluded that Lz may be an effective treatment to improve age related post-peak reproductive performance of roosters.

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is considered as the fourth most common cancer in the north and northwest of Iran. Bcl2 family has a key role in regulation of apoptosis, and any changes in the expression of Bcl2 lead to cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 100 cases and 89 controls in the northern provinces of Iran to evaluate promoter polymorphism (-248G

Expression of MT2 receptor in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and its relationship with clinicopathological features.

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer accounts 8% of the total cancer cases and 10% of total cancer deaths worldwide. The indoleamine N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, better known as melatonin, is the principal hormone produced by the pineal gland. Recently, it has shown some anticancer role in some malignancies such as breast and colon cancer; also, some of its protective roles in the GI tract are as free radical scavenger and as antimitogenic and apoptotic agents. Based on the anticancer effects of melatonin and wide distribution of this neurohormone in the GI tract and some proposed physiologic and pharmacologic roles for this neurohormone, this study is initially scheduled to determine the expression of melatonin receptor MT2 in tissue samples of adenocarcinoma cancer patients. METHODS: For this aim, a total of 30 gastric adenocarcinoma patients and 30 normal individuals were selected and examined for MT2 gene expression by real-time PCR. RESULTS: Our results have shown interestingly high expression for MT2 receptor in cancer and marginal cancer tissues compared with normal people. CONCLUSIONS: According to our results, it is concluded that for the first time, the expression of MT2 receptor in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues which was in parallel with breast and colon cancer studies and high expression of this receptor in the marginal tissues indicate refractory mechanism which shows the defending role of melatonin in the GI system. Our experiments has not shown any relationship between MT2 receptor expression and grade and clinicopathological features of gastric tumor, so we cannot conclude any relationship between this receptor expression and progression of the tumor, although this expression can be considered as an etiology.

Cloning and comparative analysis of gene structure in promoter site of alpha-s1 casein gene in Naeinian goat and sheep.

The 5' end or alpha-S1 casein promoter has a significant role in milk protein gene expression. The understanding of the translation process of alpha-S1 casein mutants will provide us an opportunity to make the best selection in livestock providing more proteins in milk. Blood samples were taken from three hundred of Naeinian goats and sheep, and DNA extraction was done using modified salting out method. Polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were carried out using a specific primer pairs for amplification a fragment of 1133 bp from part of 5'-UTR and exon 1 of alpha s1 casein gene. The AluI and HinfI restriction enzyme treatment of all samples provided the same homozygous AA genotype in both species. Subsequently, one sample of each species was selected and cloned, and the final sequences were analyzed by BioEdit, CLC genomic, Mega4 and DNASIS MAX software. Several polymorphisms are recognized between Naeinian goat and sheep that are presented on motif sites. In this research, the interested location, including exon I and a part of 5', was analyzed, and genetic element comparisons were done between Naeinian goat and sheep. The number and location of probable binding sites can have a crucial role as a result of antagonistic and synergistic effects on gene regulation activities.
