The purpose of study was to the effect of aerobic training and probiotic intake on ICAM–1 in rats with fatty liver. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 rats (200-250 gr) were randomly divided into four groups (healthy control, steatosis, steatosis + probiotic, steatosis + probiotic + training). To create a fatty liver model, tetracycline at a dose of 100 mg / kg in a volume of 1.5 cc was gavaged daily for two weeks. The training program includes 8 weeks and 5 sessions per week, in the initial week with a speed of 18 meters per minute, time started 10 minutes and every week quickly, 1-2 meters per minute and time was added to 10 minutes. Supplemental groups received 109 CFU / ml of Lactobacillus ramensus by gavage daily for 8 weeks and 5 days per week. Liver tissue samples were taken to examine the expression of ICAM-1 gene. 10 ml of blood was collected from the hearts of rats for ALP testing. The data was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) p05/0≥. Results: The results showed that the aerobic training along with probiotic consumption significantly reduced the expression gene of ICAM-1 and ALP in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Conclusion: It seems aerobic training combined with probiotic consumption improved the expression gene of ICAM-1 and ALP enzyme in the studied samples which can be effective in treating patients with fatty liver disease Manuscript profile -

Climate change and reduced rainfall have caused allergies and respiratory diseases to develop in different people, resulting in 8.9% of adults suffering from asthma by 2025, and 400 million by 2050. Asthma prevalence or symptoms increase as a result of the secretion of some adipokines, such as the hormone resistin. Detraining results when there is insufficient training stimulus, causing the loss of training-induced adaptations. Training cessation or insufficient training can alter the detraining characteristics. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 30 available asthmatics were randomly divided into control and exercise groups. For three months, the exercise group followed a regular training regimen that included three 90-minute sessions each week. Each training session included 60 to 85% of the patients' maximum heart rate on the treadmill or pedaling on an ergometer. The control group did not do any physical exercise in addition to their normal routines throughout the same time period. Blood samples were drawn before the first session, 2 days, and 1 month after the last sessions. Results: Serum resistin levels were not affected by the three-month regular training program or one-month detraining period. They did not differ significantly in the control group either (P >0.05). Conclusion: Despite the benefits of regular exercise being beneficial for all individuals, asthma symptoms in asthmatics were relatively reduced, although these changes were not significant.

MoreBackground: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder recognized as one of the most common diseases in the world. The disease has also increased dramatically in Iran.Today, there are many ways to treat diabetes, one of which is the increase in the level of pancreatic beta cells. The increase in these cells is done in several ways Several studies have demonstrated that the lipasin or betatrophin gene, a liver-expressed peptide hormone, increases the proliferation of beta cells, and that overexpression of this gene can increase the number of beta cells. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 16 Wistar rats with a mean weight of 160 ± 10. They were induced by diabetes (seven months of diabetes mellitus was caused in rats). They then were divided into two groups of 6: Control (C) and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Eight weeks of exercise training was conducted on rats.The qRT-PCR technique was used to investigate changes in lipasin expression. An Independent t-test was used for data analysis, and Pearson correlation was used to determine the correlation between lipasin expression and insulin resistance index (P <0.05). Results: The results showed that expression of lipasin gene in the liver of rats in the training group was significantly higher than the control group rats after 8 weeks of training; Insulin resistance index of plasma, plasma insulin and plasma glucose decreased considerably after eight weeks of HIIT. Between lipasin expression and insulin resistance index in rats with type 2 diabetes in the training group, a consider correlation has been observed. Conclusion: This study showed that an 8-week HIIT training period, with increased lipasin expression, could increase beta cells and also recover type 2 diabetes, which had been destroyed by these cells, and as a result of this increase in Insulin secretion and there is a way to prevent the disease.

Many possible environmental and molecular factors have been proposed for the pathogenesis of endometriosis; nevertheless, its real mechanism is still under investigation. This research aimed to examine the effect of physical exercise and B6 vitamin on the expression of COX2 and IL-1B genes on endometriotic tissue in endometriosis model rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental research, 25 Wistar rats were randomly assigned into five groups: control-healthy, endometriosis, endometriosis + exercise, endometriosis + B6, endometriosis + exercise + B6. Vitamin B6 were administered as 60 mg/kg per body weight of each rat. The swimming exercise program involved 8 weeks of exercise, each week 5 days, and each day for 30 min. For data analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Tukey test were used. Results: The extent of expression of COX and IL-1β genes increased significantly in the endometriosis group compared to the control-healthy group. All three groups of endometriosis + exercise, endometriosis + B6, and endometriosis + exercise + B6 showed a significant reduction of COX2 expression compared to the endometriosis group. Two groups of endometriosis + exercise and endometriosis + exercise + B6 indicated a significant decline in the extent of expression of 1L-1β gene, as compared to the endometriosis group. The endometriosis + exercise + B6 group revealed a significant reduction in the extent of expression of COX2 and IL-1β genes compared to endometriosis + B6. Finally, the endometriosis + exercise group revealed a significant decrease in the extent of expression of IL-1β gene, when compared with the endometriosis + B6. Conclusion: Overall, the results suggest that changes in the key molecules or signaling pathways as well as gene expression in the endometriosis process can contribute to improving this condition. Doing physical activity and concurrent consumption of B6 vitamin will be helpful in curbing this disease and improving the level of this condition. Manuscript profile -

Materials and Methods: The present study was an applied study that was performed by quasi-experimental method with pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all girls aged 25-35 years living in Rasht with erectile dysfunction that 24 people were selected as a sample based on G-Power software based on entry and exit criteria in a targeted and accessible manner. An equal number (12 experimental and 12 control) were divided. The experimental group underwent Iangar yoga for 3 weeks each week for eight weeks, and the control group performed only their daily activities. Then, in order to measure the pre-test and post-test of the head-forward variables, dorsal kyphosis, lumbar lordosis from a flexible ruler, to measure fatigue severity from the MFIS fatigue questionnaire, for back pain from the visual pain intensity scale (vas) and to measure upper rotation Shoulder and shoulder protection by Diota (1990) method and the total shoulder protection on the dominant and non-dominant side was considered as the distance between the two shoulders. Data were analyzed using paired t-test at the significance level of P≥0.05. Results: The results of paired t-test showed a significant effect of eight weeks of yoga exercises on head forward reduction, dorsal kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, fatigue severity, low back pain, upper scapular rotation, scapular protrusion and distance between two scapulae (p≤ 0.001). Conclusion: According to the research findings, it can be concluded that yoga exercises in girls with dorsal kyphosis and cervical and lumbar lordosis in order to strengthen the stabilizing muscles of the spine as well as strengthening the scapular retractor muscles and stretching the anterior chest muscles while reducing the kyphosis angle. Cervical and lumbar lordosis improves the position of the scapula and consequently increases the range of motion of the upper limb. Manuscript profile -

Behnaz Hajirezaei Abdolrasoul DaneshjooBackground: The purpose of this research was to compare the score of functional screening test in dentists with and without the complication of upper cross syndrome. Materials and Methods: A number of 30 dentists (age 39.97±5.47 years and body mass index 23.71±1.82 kg/ MoreBackground: The purpose of this research was to compare the score of functional screening test in dentists with and without the complication of upper cross syndrome. Materials and Methods: A number of 30 dentists (age 39.97±5.47 years and body mass index 23.71±1.82 kg/m2) voluntarily participated in this research, who were selected by available selective sampling method and they were divided into two groups of 15 people (group 1, simultaneously suffering from upper cruciate syndrome anomaly and group 2, without anomaly). Motor performance screening tests including deep squat, hurdle step, launch, rotational stability, push up stability, shoulder range of motion and active leg raising were measured in all participants. Also, the head and shoulder forward a(1)ngel and the kyphosis angel were measured to detect the mentioned abnormalities. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to normalize the data. To compare the demographic variables between two groups, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, to compare each of the FMS tests between two groups with and without upper cruciate syndrome, the non-parametric U-Man-Whitney test, and if the distribution of the results is normal, from Parametric independent t test was used. Also, independent parametric t-test was used to compare the overall scores of FMS tests. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS version 16 software at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Test scores of deep squat (P=0.003), launch (P=0.001), shoulder range of motion (P=0.000) and rotational stability (P=0.001) between two groups with and without deformities There was a significant difference in forward head and shoulder and kyphosis. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the test of stepping over the obstacle (P=0.397), active leg raising (P=0.133) and push up endurance (P=0.143). Discusion: From the results and discussions of this research, it can be concluded that the spine acts as a chain. So that the change in the curvature in any part of it can also change its muscle structure; This means that the muscles in that area can be weak or shortened. These changes in one of part of the spine can cause changes in the muscle structure of other areas.In the present research, according to the score of the seven FMS tests, it was found that the change in the muscle structure of the head, neck and chest causes a change in the muscle structure of other trunk areas and the scores of the tests are reduced.

Materials and Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental with post-test pretest design. The participants of the study were 45 futsal students from the selected high school teams of Tehran cities who were selected according to the inclusion criteria. After homogenization, participants were divided into three groups based on body mass index (15 people in Bosobal training group, 15 people in balance Disc training group and 15 people in control group). After recording the demographic characteristics of the subjects, all subjects were subjected to a static equilibrium (dynamic stroke test) and dynamic equilibrium test (Y balance test). The experimental group received eight-week exercises with Balance pod and bosu ball. However, the subjects in the control group did not have specific training. Finally, all subjects after the end of the training period were tested and the data were analyzed by covariance test at the level of α=0.05. Results: The results of this study showed that eight weeks of bosu ball exercises and balance pod had a positive and significant effect on both the static equilibrium and the dynamic balance of the subjects (P = 0.001). Also, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of the bosu ball exercises and balance pod exercises in the static equilibrium (P = 0.505) and dynamic balance (P = .295). Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it is suggested that athletes with functional ankle instability, coaches, therapists and science specialists Rehabilitation use balance pod exercises and bosu ball in order of increase static and dynamic balance.
