Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease with a consequent increase in bone fracture. The purpose of this study was to determine skeletal changes induced by two types of exercise therapy in osteoporotic rats.

Materials and methods: Among 30 male rats, 6 of them were selected as healthy group, Then Osteoporosis induced in other rats by intraperitoneal injection of 20% ethanol solution (3g/kg/day) for 3 weeks. Osteoporotic rats divided into 4 groups: Baseline, resistance, endurance and control (n=6). The two exercise groups completed 12 weeks of training, 5 days/week according to protocols. Endurance protocol included running exercise on a treadmill for, 12 m/min, 10 to 64 min/ day. The Resistance training protocol consisted of 8 series of climbing on the 110cm vertical ladder angled at 80º with weights tied to animal tail that was increased from the 50% of the body mass of the animal in the first series to100% in the eighth series. At the end of the training, the animals were euthanized, and the BMD of the femur and the L4 + L5 vertebrae were measured using DXA and tensile max load of the tibia and compression max load of the L5 were measured applying Zwick 2.5 machine. The collected data was analyzed using paired t and one way ANOVA tests.

Results: The two groups of the exercises had significantly increased femur BMD compared to controls (P=0.035, P=0.001). L4+L5 BMD in resistance training and control groups was significantly greater than endurance group (P=0.001, P=0.001). The tibia tensile maximum load and L5 maximum load in resistance group were significantly greater than control (P=0.01, P=0.03).

Conclusion: Resistance training induces more effective favorable changes in bone mineral status and bone strength as compared to endurance exercise in osteoporotic male rat.

Introduction: Menopause is associated with complications that can affect women's attitudes. Women's attitudes toward menopause can help to improve their performance and reduce the severity of its complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Glycyrrhiza glabra (G. glabra) plant and exercise on the attitude of menopausal women.

Materials and methods: This clinical experimental fourth group was conducted between October and March 2015 in Arak, Iran. 120 menopausal women were randomly selected and divided into four groups each containing 30 women. The first group had three G. glabra tablets daily for one month, the second group had a regular exercise program three times a week for 30-45 minutes for one month and the third group simultaneously took G. glabra like Group1 and followed exercise programs like Group 2 and the fourth group received no intervention. Before and one month after the intervention attitudes of women were compared with a researcher-made questionnaire. ANOVA, Chi-square and Paired t tests were used to analysis the data.

Results: The results showed no significant difference between four groups in demographic characteristic. ANOVA results showed no significant difference between four groups in the attitude score of women before the intervention (P=0.937), but after the intervention there were significant differences between the groups (P=0.0001).

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating in which there is no standardized method to detect this disease activity. It has shown abnormal microRNAs (miRNAs) function in peripheral blood immune cells. miRNAs expression is probably responsible for immunological features associated with MS. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the association of miR-93-5p expression with MS disease.
Materials and methods: In this case-control study, a totally of 30 relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled. Following miRNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, miR-93-5p expression was examined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Results: The expression of miR-93-5p was significantly increased in RRMS patients compared to healthy subjects (P=0.001). Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis identified a strong predictive power of miR‑93-5p on discriminating MS from healthy individuals, with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.939 (95% CI; 0.8581-1.000). On the other hand, the samples were analyzed based on the type of drug treatment (interferon and non-interferon), which did not show any considerable differences (P=0.863).
Conclusion: Our findings showed that miR-93-5p has highly elevated expression in patients with RRMS compared to healthy subjects. Based on the results miR-93-5p may be a prospective biomarker with the potential use for diagnosis of RRMS patients.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in adults. Anemia is world health problems and common medical conditions seen in clinical practice. We report the case of a 47-years-old woman who presented pain and obvious changes in hallux. With regard to available symptoms, special issues like strike, CLL, banned veins of foot and occult blood was guessed as a general mechanism of disease. But the result of performed tests and the effect of used drugs exclude all mentioned problems and low hemoglobin level was recognized as the only crucial cause of disease. With according to the results of blood counts and symptoms, disease for CLL, after performing tests and treatment of disease with iron supplementation, we recognized that particularly iron deficiency is the essential cause of disease.

Introduction: This study explores the combined effects of concurrent training and capecitabine consumption on breast cancer prevention and therapy, focusing on the modulation of BRCA1 gene expression.
Material & Methods: In the main study, 12 mice were divided into groups, including Exercise-Tumor-Exercise (ETE), Exercise-Tumor-Exercise+Drug (ETE + D), and various others. Resistance and endurance training were conducted five days a week for 12 weeks before and eight weeks after tumor induction, accompanied by capecitabine administration. BRCA1 gene expression was assessed post-intervention using SPSS 20.
Results: MC4-L2 injection induced tumors. Both pre and post-cancer induction, exercise significantly increased BRCA1 gene expression (p = 0.001, p = 0.001). Exercise combined with post-cancer capecitabine led to increased BRCA1 expression (p = 0.001). Capecitabine alone post-cancer also elevated BRCA1 expression (p = 0.001). Exercise, exercise with capecitabine, and capecitabine alone post-cancer showed significantly higher BRCA1 expression than exercise pre-cancer (p = 0.001). Exercise-tumor-exercise and Exercise-Tumor-Exercise+Drug groups exhibited increased BRCA1 expression compared to exercise-tumor-drug (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The ETE+D protocol, involving exercise and capecitabine post-cancer, increased BRCA1 expression, suggesting potential roles in tumor prevention and therapy.
