Abstract

Introduction: There is a close relationship between a nurse’sinherent spirituality and the tendency toprovide spiritual care. This means that anurse with stronger inherent spirituality provides more spiritualcare to patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between demographic variablesand emotional intelligence and spiritual health in the nurses working in the teaching hospitals of Ilam city.Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study onthe nurses working in the teachinghospitals ofIlam. The research sample included all the nurses of teaching hospitals ofIlamcity, who wereselected by census. The research instrument includedthree questionnaires;a demographic questionnaire (age,gender, marital status, work experience, and employment status), a 20-item spiritual health questionnaire, andthe 90-item standard Barquestionnaire for emotional intelligence. The spiritual health questionnaire, alreadyvalidated by Tavan et al.,included 20 questions infour dimensions (five questions for each of contemplation,beliefs, morality, and philosophy/lifestyledimensions). Finally, the data was entered into and analyzed bySPSS version 19 software.Results: This descriptive study was conducted on 130 nurses working in the teaching hospitals of Ilam. Ofthese, 79 (60.8%) and 51 (39.2%) were males and females, respectively. The mean spiritual health scoreswere obtained as 23.72, 21.98, 22.68, and 22.47 in the contemplation, beliefs, morality, and philosophy/lifestyledimensions, respectively, with the total score of 90.86. The total score of emotional intelligencewas 313.34. Among the nurses, 7 (5.4%), 115 (88.5%), and 8 (6.2%) had moderate, high, and very highemotional intelligence, respectively.Conclusion: The nurses’ spiritual health was at the moderate-high level for all the participants, and it can bepromoted by implementing education programs.

Abstract

Intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is a degenerative disease and often found in daily practice.The managements that were used so far are only symptomatic and have not been able to solve the diseasecompletely. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been widely tested as a solution for theregeneration of IVD in IDD. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are one of the sources ofMSCs which were widely studied as an alternative. One of the factors that can influence the efficiency andcapacity of ASCs in IDD cases is preconditioning. Generally, there were three pre-conditioning strategies ofASCs before being used as therapy, (1) modifying the environment, (2) using Growth Factors, Cytokines,Chemokines, Hormones, (3) using pharmacological and chemical agents. Preconditioning on ASCs canchange its function in various ways. We tried to link all these things together so that we could know the roleof pre-conditioning ASCs in the regeneration disk.

Abstract

Background: Noncontact Electro Capacitive Cancer Therapy (ECCT) is a novel treatment modality incancer that uses low-intensity intermediate-frequency alternating electric field. A previous study has reportedECCT could induce cell death in cancer cells, but the molecular mechanism underlining this process remainsunclear. Therefore, this study aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms of the pathology induced by thedevice and to determine whether Tubulin A, Cyclin B, and Ki67 can serve as biomarkers for this exposure.Methods: This study was an in vitro laboratory experiment with Completely Randomized Block Design.Two different types of cancerous cell lines were used in this study: oral squamous cell carcinomas and Helacells. In addition, non-cancerous cell line, bone marrow mesenchymal cell, was also subjected to the electricfield produced by ECCT. All three cell lines were divided into two groups: the ECCT-exposed group andthe control group. After exposure, the protein expression of Tubulin A, Cyclin B, and Ki-67 was examinedusing immunocytochemistry staining.Results: The results showed that the number of Tubulins A, Cyclin B1, and Ki-67 expression wassignificantly higher in ECCT-exposed group than in the control group (p<0.05). Increased expression oftubulin A indicates a disruption to microtubule polymerization, an increase in Cyclin B expression indicatesmitotic arrest or incomplete mitosis, whereas the increase of Ki-67 expression occurs when cells stop in themetaphase phase (mitotic arrest).Conclusion: It could be concluded that increased Tubulins A, Cyclin B1, and Ki-67 expression may associatewith the death cell mechanism induced by exposure to Noncontact Electro Capacitive Cancer devise.

Abstract

Background: Current tracheal defect management is still controversial for surgeons because there areno ideal materials to substitute trachea and many long-term complications occur in patients after trachealreconstruction. Prosthetic graft has the risks of chronic infection and post-reconstructive tracheal stenosis.Dried Amniotic Membrane (DAM) expresses several endogenous matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genesthat can degrade extracellular matrix. Therefore, DAM is expected to be able to degrade collagen formedexcessively during the wound healing phase, hence post-reconstruction stenosis will not occur. This studyaimed to evaluate the differences of collagen density between polypropylene mesh (only) and DAM-addedpolypropylene mesh as graft in tracheal reconstruction.Methods: The animals used in this study were 36 male white rabbits, which were divided into twogroups. Both groups were wounded in the trachea area. The defects from the first group were closed usingpolypropylene mesh, while the defects from the second group were closed using DAM-added polypropylenemesh. After 30 days, the collagen density of each group was assessed.Results: In the first group there are 10 samples (55.56%) with collagen density score = 3, while in the secondgroup there are 16 samples (88.89%) with collagen density score = 2. The significance value using MannWhitney U test for differences in the collagen density score in both groups is p = 0.407.Conclusion: Tracheal reconstruction using polypropylene mesh along with DAM provides a lower collagendensity score than using polypropylene mesh alone as a graft, but it is not statistically significant.

Abstract

Increasing applications on nanomaterials have raised concerns about the toxicity of these materialstoward human health. This study aims to illustrate the effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnONPs) onhematological parameters in rats and to explore the protective action of Moringa oleifera (MO) againsthematological changes induced by ZnONPs in rats. In our study, (24) albino rats were divided into fourgroups (6 for each group) and used. The studied rats included rats which received 100 mg/Kg ZnONPs for60 days , while the control group were rats without treatment. In the ZnONPs+MO group, rats were coadministered with a combination of ZnONPs at a 100mg/kg dose with MO at a 300 mg/kg dose for 60 days.The MO group animals were treated with 300 mg/kg of MO for 60 days. The animals were sacrificed andblood samples were obtained by cardiac puncture in the end of the experiments. Various blood parameterswere measured using HORIBA-Medical automatic hematology analyzer. Rats treated with ZnONPs showeda significant decrease (p<0.05) in red blood cell counts (RBCs), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, meancorpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobinconcentration (MCHC), hematocrit value (Hct), and platelet count (Plt) count, except white blood cell count(WBCs) in comparison to the control group. Then, co-administration of M. Oleifera along with ZnONPsexerted a significant recovery effect in hematological disorders. Thus, these consequences established thatM. Oleifera shown a defensive impact against ZnONPs induced hematological alterations in male rats.
