- چکیده انگلیسی: BACKGROUND AND AIM: The study aimed to assess the frequency of head and face injuries in motorcyclists who had an accident and to find out the relationship between helmet use and frequency of these injuries. METHODS: A cross-sectional study with multi-stage sampling method provides data on the injured motorcyclists with road accidents. Data came from a registration form which has documented information of each injured person who had a road accident and hospitalized in the biggest hospital of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran (Al-Zahra). All the registration forms were surveyed for hospitalization period, treatment costs, severity of injury, and date of accident during 2010 (n = 1626). Later, among the list of injured motorcyclists during the last 3 months of the registration form, 125 cases were randomly selected and interviewed by phone regarding occurrence of the head and face injuries and whether wearing helmet during the accident. Confidence intervals (CI), Chi-square, and Phi and Cramer’s correlation coefficient were applied. The ethical approval was provided. RESULTS: Accident by motorcycle was 31.0% of all road accidents. The frequency of motorcycle accidents was higher in the autumn and among 21-25 year olds. The mean period of hospitalization was 4.3 days and the mean of hospital costs was about 9000000 Rials [about 8200 United States dollar (USD), in 2010]. Of motorcyclist, 35.0% reported they were helmeted when they had the accident. The frequency of head and face injuries was 51.0% among all the injured motorcyclists, 22.0% and 78.0% among the helmeted and non-helmeted motorcyclists, respectively (P = 0.009, r = -0.267). CONCLUSION: Motorcycle accidents comprise a large number of road accidents and cause substantial morbidity and financial impact for the community members. Head and face injuries are the most common trauma in motorcyclists, and the injury rate is higher among non-helmeted motorcyclists.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common cancer of endocrine system. TC can be subdivided into 4 different entities, papillary, follicular, medullary and anaplastic thyroid cancer. Among them, anaplastic thyroid cancer has the poorest prognosis. Exploring new therapeutic approach may entail favorable prediction as well as increasing overall survival rate of patients. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), have vast implications in different cancer types. Although they are not transcribed into proteins, they can act as a harness in regulating a plethora of biological functions. They have been implicated in a decisive role in gene expression via modulation of both coding and non-coding RNAs. This article discuss the multi-facet role of lncRNA in thyroid cancer biology.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Empathy is the capability to represent the mental and emotional states of other subjects.
Previous studies have demonstrated a possible correlation between morphine addiction and altered empathy
response in morphine-addicted subjects. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of chronic morphine
exposure as an animal model of morphine addiction on empathic changes in affective and sensory pain.
Methods: Adult male Wistar rats (3 months old) were used for the current study. Animals were grouped in
cages of two (n = 8 for each group) and one animal was selected as the pain observer group. Pain observer
animals received either saline or morphine (10 mg/kg, twice daily for 8 days). At ninth day, formalin [50 µg,
5%, subcutaneous (SC)] was injected into the hindpaw of the cagemate and placed inside the cage. Elevated
plus maze (EPM) and open field test (OFT) were recruited to evaluate anxiety; hot plate and tail flick tests
were used to assay sensory pain. Conditioned place aversion (CPA) was also measured as indicator of
affective pain component.
Findings: Chronic morphine exposure led to a reduced level of anxiety in EPM and OFT assays. An opioidinduced hyperalgesia was observed in the sensory pain assays, while there was a reduced affective pain in the
CPA paradigm in morphine-treated animals.
Conclusion: It might be plausible that chronic morphine exposure might alter empathy for pain through
affective and not sensory pain pathways
