Abstract

Introduction As a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways, asthma is a multifactorial disease with common risk factors including genetic predisposition, cigarette smoking, family history, and allergic diseases (Stern et [...], The nitric oxide (NO) pathway contributes to the pathogeneses of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and asthma. NOS2 encodes inducible-NO synthase, which is an important enzyme of the pathway, and its variations could affect the risk of asthma and MetS and thereby co-susceptibility to them. This study aims to estimate the association of NOS2-c.1823C>T with risk of asthma, MetS, and asthma with MetS condition (ASMetS), and with asthma stages: intermittent, mild, moderate, and severe asthma. The study included asthmatics (n = 555), MetS (n = 334), and ASMetS cases (n = 232) and 351 controls, which were genotyped by the PCR-RFLP method. The T allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of asthma and MetS in the sample population and females. CT genotype and CT+TT model were significantly associated with increased risk of ASMetS in females. A significant association between CT genotype and increased risk of ASMetS in the sample population and females was found in ASMetS versus MetS. In the sample population and among females, the T allele was significantly associated with severe asthma. The rs2297518 single nucleotide polymorphism of NOS2 contributes to the risk of MetS, asthma, and co- susceptibility to them, and this contribution may be stronger in females compared to males. Keywords: lung, metabolic disorder, nitric oxide pathway, iNOS, p.Ser608Leu, SNP

Abstract

The nitric-oxide pathway plays a crucial role in the pathogeneses of asthma and NOS3-encoded endothelial nitric oxide synthase is one of the main components of the pathway. Variants of NOS3 are known to contribute to asthma development and pathophysiology. We investigated the association of NOS3-c.894G/T (rs1799983) with asthma risk and severity by studying frequencies of its genotypes and alleles in 555 asthmatics (93 intermittent, 240 mild, 158 moderate, and 64 severe asthma cases) and 351 control participants using the PCR-FRLP method, logistic regression analysis and generalized ordered logit estimates. GT genotype (ORadj: 1.39; CI: 1.04–1.85; p = 0.026), dominant model GT + TT (ORadj: 1.41; CI: 1.07–1.87; p = 0.015), and T allele (ORadj: 1.32; CI: 1.05–1.67; p = 0.018) was associated with increased ORs in asthmatics. Also, the frequency of GT + TT (ORadj: 1.55; CI: 1.01–2.38; p = 0.044) was significantly higher in males. Furthermore, GT genotype (ORadj: 1.39; CI: 1.04–1.85; p = 0.024), GT + TT (ORadj: 1.42; CI: 1.07–1.87; p = 0.014), and T allele (ORadj: 1.32; CI: 1.05–1.66; p = 0.018) in total population and GT + TT (ORadj: 1.56; CI: 1.02–2.37; p = 0.04) in males were significantly associated with increased risk of severe, moderate, mild, intermittent asthma vs. controls. Also, GT genotype (ORadj: 1.39; CI: 1.02–1.91; p = 0.039) was significantly more frequent in severe, moderate grades vs. lower severity grades in the total population. Frequencies of GT genotype (ORadj: 1.77; CI: 1.05–3.00; p = 0.032) and GT + TT (ORadj: 1.74; CI: 1.04–2.90; p = 0.036) in total population and GT genotype (ORadj: 2.40; CI: 1.16–4.97; p = 0.018) and GT + TT (ORadj: 2.30; CI: 1.12–4.74; p = 0.023) in male subpopulation were significantly higher in severe cases compared to lower grades. NOS3-c.894G/T may be associated with asthma risk and its severer grades, with greater effects in men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: Almost one third of patients with asthma have symptomatic evidence for coexisting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is thought to be aggravating factor in asthma at least in some cases. We investigated the impact of coexisting GERD on asthma severity and parameters of lung function.Methods: Ninety two asthma patients diagnosed according to ATS criteria were studied. After full history and physical examination, asthma severity was measured in each patient using asthma control test (ACT). GERD symptoms was verified in each patient. Impulse oscillometry(IOS) and lung volume studies (using body-plethysmography and IOS) were performed. Thedifference between total airway resistance (TAWR) indicated by resistance at 5 Hz and centralairway resistance (CAWR) as indicated by resistance at 20 Hz in oscillometry was calculated and considered as representative of resistance at peripheral airways (PAWR). The relationship between the presences of GERD symptoms, ACT score and parameters of lung function were analyzed.Results: PAWR and TAWR were both significantly higher in asthmatic patients with GERD symptoms than patients without GERD symptoms (256.64±161.21 versus 191.68±98.64; P=0.02,and 102.73±122.39 versus 56.76±71.43; P=0.01, respectively). However, no significant difference was noted in mean values of ACT, FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 sec), FVC (forced vitalcapacity), PEF (peak expiratory flow), and CAWR in these two groups.Conclusion: These findings suggest that the severity of asthma as measured by ACT score is notdifferent in patients with and without GERD symptoms. However, total and peripheral airway resistance measured by IOS is significantly higher in asthmatic patients with GERD symptoms.

Abstract

Introduction Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) remains the preferred and potentially curative option for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This study aimed to report the results of PEA for CTEPH in a tertiary center in Tabriz, Iran. Methods We analyzed the results of 42 CTEPH patients undergoing PEA, who were enrolled in the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (TUMS-CTEPH) from January 2016 to October 2020. The main outcome measures included the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, the 6-Minute Walk Distance, hemodynamic measures in right heart catheterization, morbidity, and mortality. Results There was a significant improvement in the NYHA function class (2.6 ± 0.5 vs 1.1 ± 0.34), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (47.1 ± 13 vs 27.9 ± 8 mm Hg), cardiac output (4.3 ± 1.06 vs 5.9 ± 1.2 L/min), and pulmonary vascular resistance (709.4 ± 297.5 vs 214 ± 77 dyn s/cm5). Fifteen patients (35%) developed complications. The most common complication (10 [23%]) was reperfusion injury. Also, postsurgical mortality was 4% during hospital admission and 1-year follow-up. Conclusion This is the first single-center report of PEA from Iran. Post-PEA and 1-year survival were acceptable as a referral center. PEA can be performed safe with low mortality. Greater awareness of PEA and patients' access to experienced CTEPH centers are important issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Hyper-inflammation, cytokine storm, and recruitment of immune cells lead to uncontrollable endothelial cell damage in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) signaling is needed for endothelial integrity and its de-creased serum level is a predictor of clinical severity in COVID-19. In this clinical trial, the effect of Fingolimod, an agonist of S1P, was evaluated on patients with COVID-19. Forty patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 were enrolled and divided into two groups including (1) the control group (n =21) receiving the national standard regimen for COVID-19 patients and (2) the intervention group (n =19) that prescribed daily Fingolimod (0.5 mg) for 3days besides receiving the standard national regimen for COVID-19. The hospitalization period, re-admission rate, intensive care unit (ICU) administration, need for mechanical ventilation, and mortality rate were assessed as primary outcomes in both groups. The results showed that re-admission was significantly decreased in COVID-19 patients who received Fingolimod compared to the controls (p = .04). In addition, the hemoglobin levels of the COVID-19 patients in the intervention group were increased compared to the controls (p = .018). However, no significant differences were found regarding the intubation or mortality rate between the groups (p > .05). Fingolimod could significantly reduce the re-admission rate after hospitalization with COVID-19. Fingolimod may not enhance patients' outcomes with moderate COVID-19. It is necessary to examine these findings in a larger cohort of patients with severe to critical COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (Tb) is a major public health issue across the world. Therefore, it is crucial to determine its pattern in different regions of the world. The aim of this study was to review the prevalence of drug resistant TB in the west and northwest of Iran. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search was performed to identify studies (2010 to 2021) in Google Scholar, PubMed, Thomson Reuters, Scientific Information Database (SID), Cochrane Library, and Medical Library (MedLib) databases. The patterns of any drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB); resistance to isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP), streptomycin (SMP), ethambutol (EMB), and multiple drug resistance (MDR) were reviewed in tuberculosis in the west and northwest of Iran. Results: In this review, 7 studies met the eligibility criteria for a meta-analysis. The pooled proportion of any drug resistant TB was 13% (CI 95%: 9.0, 17.0) (43.0% in re-treatment group). The pooled prevalence of any drug resistant TB was more than 1.5 times higher in men compared to women (15% vs. 9.0%). The pooled prevalence (%) of resistance to INH, RMP, SMP, EMB and MDR-TB was 11.0%, 12.0%, 13.0%, 6.0%, and 6.0%, respectively. Kermanshah Province (a province in the west of Iran) showed a high prevalence of any type of drug resistance and MDR-TB (15.9% and 20.0%, respectively). Conclusion: It seems that the western provinces of Iran have a different pattern of drug resistance compared to the northwestern provinces. Considering the extent of Iran and the neighboring countries, it is recommended that the pattern of tuberculosis drug resistance be reviewed separately in different provinces or regions of Iran. Drug resistance in the re-treatment group was more than three times that of all patients with TB drug resistance. The burden of drug resistance reduces significantly with better control and management of TB drug treatment and preventing re-infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Summary: The last few decades have seen a pandemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which continues to cause substantial morbidity and mortality. ABO blood groups are anthropological and genetic characteristics of a population whose associations with HIV infection are still controversial. This systematic review with meta‐analysis was undertaken to investigate whether certain blood groups may have associations with HIV infection. PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were systematically searched as of 6 September 2021. Grey literature was identified through screening Google Scholar, and reference lists of relevant studies. All observational studies providing data on ABO blood group distribution among HIV‐infected and uninfected participants were included. Using a random effect model, risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to quantify this relationship. Fifty eligible studies with a total of 3,068,244 participants and 6508 HIV‐infected cases were included. The overall analysis found that blood group AB increased the risk of HIV infection by 19% as compared with non‐AB blood groups (RR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.03–1.39, p = 0.02). Pooled estimates for other blood groups failed to reach statistical significance. Subgroup analyses identified a positive relationship between AB blood group and HIV infection within Asia, patient populations (as opposed to blood donors and general populations), studies with lower sample sizes, high‐income countries and studies with a moderate quality score. The sequential omission and re‐analysis of studies within sensitivity analyses produced no change in the overall pooled effect. In conclusion, this study identified that blood group AB carriers were more susceptible to HIV infection. Future investigations should be directed toward clarification of the exact role of ABO blood groups in HIV infection and the possible underlying mechanisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Summary: BNT162b2 and mRNA‐1273 are two types of mRNA‐based vaccine platforms that have received emergency use authorization. The emergence of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS‐CoV‐2) variants has raised concerns of reduced sensitivity to neutralization by their elicited antibodies. We aimed to systematically review the most recent in vitro studies evaluating the effectiveness of BNT162b2 and mRNA‐1273 induced neutralizing antibodies against SARS‐CoV‐2 variants of concern. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science in addition to bioRxiv and medRxiv with terms including 'SARS‐CoV‐2', 'BNT162b2', 'mRNA‐1273', and 'neutralizing antibody' up to June 29, 2021. A modified version of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist was used for assessing included study quality. A total 36 in vitro studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included in this systematic review. B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), P.1 (Gamma), and B.1.617.2 (Delta) are four SARS‐CoV‐2 variants that have recently been identified as variants of concern. Included studies implemented different methods regarding pseudovirus or live virus neutralization assays for measuring neutralization titres against utilized viruses. After two dose vaccination by BNT162b2 or mRNA‐1273, the B.1.351 variant had the least sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies, while B.1.1.7 variant had the most sensitivity; that is, it was better neutralized relative to the comparator strain. P.1 and B.1.617.2 variants had an intermediate level of impaired naturalization activity of antibodies elicited by prior vaccination. Our review suggests that immune sera derived from vaccinated individuals might show reduced protection of individuals immunized with mRNA vaccines against more recent SARS‐CoV‐2 variants of concern.

Abstract

Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor with an important role in lung health. The association of AhR polymorphisms with asthma severity has not been yet investigated. We analyzed the association of G1661A, the most prevalent polymorphism of AhR, with the asthma stages in a population-based study including 555 asthmatics (Intermittent: 93, Mild: 240, Moderate: 158, and Severe: 64). The SNP was genotyped using allele-specific PCR. Obtained data were analyzed using the Generalized-Ordered Logit Estimates. Genotypes GA (OR: 0.53, CI: 0.32-0.90, P=0.019) and AA (OR: 0.22, CI: 0.06-0.76, P=0.017) were associated with decreased risk of Severe, Moderate, Mild vs. Intermittent stage; and Severe, Moderate, vs. Mild, Intermittent stages respectively. However, Genotype GA (OR: 1.90, CI: 1.05-3.44, P=0.033), dominant model GA+AA (OR: 2.04, CI: 1.17-3.57, P=0.012), and allele A (OR: 1.68, CI: 1.06-2.66, P=0.027) were associated with increased risk of Severe stage vs. Moderate, Mild, Intermittent stages. Also, male sex and higher age were associated with an increased odds ratio for severe asthma. Furthermore, significant associations with asthma stages were found for the interactions of the SNP and sex, smoking, and alcohol consumption. In conclusion, we revealed that the mutant allele of AhR-G1661A may interact with independent variables and act as a protective factor against lower stages of asthma but it may increase the risk of severe asthma.

Abstract

Abstract Background Adverse reactions induced by BCG vaccination are rare, disseminated mycobacterial BCG infection in particular, which is often fatal and results from impaired immunity. The aim of this study is to determine the nature of the immunodeficiences in patients with disseminated BCG infection in northwest region of Iran. Materials and methods Through 2 years all infants with BCG adenitis or other complications of this vaccine that had suspicious BCG infection were referred to children's hospital and health centers of Tabriz. Evaluation of immune system and in some cases genetic survey was performed in infants with evidence of histopathologic demonstration of acid-fast bacilli. Then frequency of infants who had disseminated BCG infection with immunodeficiency was defined. Results From 48 selected infants with complications of BCG vaccine in the range of 2 to 62 months, 28 infants (58.3%) were male and 20 infants (41.7%) were female. Disseminated BCG infection was diagnosed in 11 cases, almost all of whom had immunodeficiency as follows: Seven cases had severe combined immunodeficiency and one cases had chronic granulomatous disease. MSMD in two cases and IL12 R deficiency in another one was diagnosed. Overall, the mortality rate was 72.8% (8 cases) which 7 cases of them were SCID and another one CGD Consanguineous was found in more than half (7 cases) of patients and family history of disseminated BCG infection or immunodeficiency was found in nearly one third (3 cases) of patients. Discussion BCG vaccine is administered world wide to prevent tuberculosis and is considered to have excellent safety profile. However in some immunodeficient patients it can cause severe and fatal complications, like in our region, where all cases of disseminated BCG infection with severe immunodeficiency died. Conclusion BCG vaccination is necessary in some countries such as Iran, so it seems that development of a more safer vaccine and change of vaccine program in the families with history of inherited immunodeficiency can be identifies such high risk infants and prophylaxis of severe complications or dead in such patients.

Abstract

The global morbidity and mortality associated with asthma have been dramatically raised. We aimed to determine the prevalence of asthma symptoms in northwestern Iran and identify the potential risk factors. A cross-sectional survey was performed from November 2019 to February 2020 among 1,459 adolescents residing in areas representing urban and semi-urban communities. International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire was used to identify the participants with asthma defined based on meeting the criteria of physician diagnosis or self-report of wheezing episodes previously. Multivariable logistic regression was applied for data analysis. The prevalence of current asthma, asthma ever in life, and severe asthma were 12.2, 4.9, and 5.7%, respectively, which varied with urbanization. Overall, asthma prevalence in urban area was 13.4%, whereas in the semi-urban area was 8.3%. The related risk factors for asthma were having a pet at home [OR: 1.75 (1.11, 2.74)], current smoking [OR: 1.91 (1.21, 3.02)], artificial ventilation at home [OR: 2.67 (1.02, 7.03)], intake of fast-foods [OR: 4.51 (1.19, 17.04)], and history of allergy [OR: 1.99 (1.36, 2.92)]. However, physical activity [OR: 0.37 (0.16, 0.90)] and fruit consumption [OR: 0.11 (0.02, 0.77)] were associated with lower odds of asthma. We found that the prevalence of asthma was more common in people living in urban area compared to those living in semi-urban area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
