This research investigates the interactions between a novel environmentally friendly chemical fluid consisting of Xanthan gum and bio-based surfactants, and crude oil. The surfactants, derived from various leaves using the spray drying technique, were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, Dynamic light scattering, and evaluation of critical micelle concentration. Static emulsion tests were conducted to explore the emulsification between crude oil and the polymer-surfactant solution.

Meniere's disease (MD) is known as a rare chronic disorder of the inner ear with elevated serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, Interleukin (IL)-1, and IL-6. This study aims to evaluate genes polymorphism in some pro-inflammatory cytokines in a group of Iranian MD patients compared to the healthy controls. In this case-control study, 25 MD patients and 139 healthy controls were enrolled.

- A study of 25 Iranian patients with infantile inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) revealed that 56% had identifiable monogenic defects through whole exome sequencing.
- Four patients had specific missense mutations and one had a large deletion, while others had mutations affecting host:microbiome balance or combined immunodeficiencies.
- The majority of patients with monogenic defects resulted from consanguineous relationships, with only 4 of the 14 patients still alive.
Objectives: Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 gene (PTPN22) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have been associated with a number of different autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association of five polymorphisms of PTPN22 gene with susceptibility to ulcerative colitis (UC) in Iran.
Materials And Methods: A total of 67 patients diagnosed with UC (35 female and 32 male all under 18 years) and 93 healthy subjects were selected.
