Studying the effect of Chlamydia trachomatis, Helicobacter pylori, and Varicella zoster microorganisms in stimulating the expression of cytokines TNFα, IFNɤ, TGFβ, IL-10 in Alzheimer and non-Alzheimer patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to use the real-time RT-PCR method to detect the gene expression cytokines IL-10, TNFα, IFN-γ, and TGF-β in the serum of Alzheimer's patients.

Methods: This study was conducted on 100 serum samples of Alzheimer's patients. DNA extraction was performed on the samples with the Cinnaclone kit and PCR techniques were used to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Varicella zoster virus.

Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of zingerone and niosomal zingerone against methicillin-resistant (MRSA).

Background And Objectives: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Nanoparticles are considered as proper tools to overcome the therapeutic problem of antimicrobial-resistant infections because of the drug concentration increment at the desired location and protection from enzymatic degradation. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of zingerone and niosome containing zingerone against pre-formed biofilm of MRSA isolates.

Evaluation of the detection of diarrhoea-associated RNA viruses in immunocompromised children in Iran.

Background: Gastroenteritis accounts for about 10% of the deaths among children, especially in immunocompromised children. Few studies on the prevalence of gastrointestinal infections caused by RNA viruses have been done in Iran. The aim of the study was to evaluate the detection of RNA viruses causing diarrhoea using a multiplex PCR.
