On the other hand, adolescence, as a special period of development, is a sensitive and critical period in which people face problems and should find solutions to solve problems and deal with them. Therefore, the present study attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness behavior cognitive therapy on mindfulness of students’ academic achievement and the moderating role of trait and state characteristics. Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the study consisted of all junior high school students in Ilam city. Through cluster random sampling, sixty students with high emotional distress were selected as the main sample of the study. Moreover, two scaling measures along with two questionnaires were used in order to collect the required data. Finally, multivariate analysis of covariance was applied to analyze the collected data. Results: The results revealed that mindfulness-based group therapy had a significant effect on trait and state characteristics of alexithymia school students in Ilam (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, it was found that mindfulness-based group therapy also influences the academic achievement emotions of Ilam elementary school students (P > 0.0001). Conclusion: Mindfulness through awareness and concentration, as one aspect of its effects on academic progress, helps the students with their studying and comprehension. It can also indirectly influence the students' academic progress in a positive manner through decreasing Alexithymia and increasing their mental health. Furthermore, it can influence the excitements of academy progress as well as alexithymia of middle school students of Ilam.}, Keywords = {Mindfulness, Academic Achievement Excitement, Alexithymia, Trait and Trait Characteristics, Students, Ilam City}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {1-3}, publisher = {ilam university of medical sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-473-en.html}, eprint = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-473-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Basic Research in Medical Sciences}, issn = {2383-0506}, eissn = {2383-0972}, year = {2021} } @article{ author = {Aria, Behzad and Ayatollahi, Jamshid and Kargar, Hamideh}, title = {The role of physical activity and body mass index in the development and prevention of COVID-19}, abstract ={Introduction: Given the high spread and mortality rate of COVID-19, it is of great importance to find solutions to prevent it. In this study, the role of physical activity and body mass index in the development or prevention of COVID-19 was investigated. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, participants included 155 patients with coronavirus selected as the experimental group and 150 age-matched healthy people included in the control group. The participants' physical activity levels were assessed using Beck's physical activity questionnaire. Independent t-test and binary logistic regression were run to analyze the data. Results: The findings showed a significant difference between the patient and control groups body mass index (BMI), and total physical activity (P <0.05). On the other hand, total physical activity had a significant effect on COVID-19 prevention (P <0.05), but BMI had a significant increasing effect on the risk of COVID-19 (P <0.05).

The body fat factor is one of the most useful measures for assessing the risk of obesity. In this research, people are classified based on body fat. This research does not use any device. Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) which is widely used in medical sciences, has been used to predict the exact category of fat. Materials and Methods: A nutrition clinic in Tehran has collected 610 samples from its patients. Each data has six attributes: age, height, weight, BMI, gender, and fat percentage. Based on percentage fat, people are divided into six fat classes from very low fat to very high fat. This research uses ANFIS system to estimate body fat class. Age, height, weight, BMI, and gender are used as inputs of the system and fat class as output. Furthermore, for evaluating the proposed method, precision method is used. Results: This research used machine learning techniques (i.e., ANFIS) to predict the class of fat people without using costly tools. The data showed that our method has an accuracy of 90.83%. Conclusion: The results of this research show that using ANFIS can estimate accurately the category of body fat without any device.

Since none of the various symptomatic therapies recommended for painful periods can affect the etiology of the disease, the goal is only to reduce the severity of the pain, irritation, and duration of the ulcers. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of tetracycline and Myrtus communis extract (Myrtex) on the treatment of RAS. Materials and Methods: The patients (n=54) enrolled in the study consisted of two groups of 26 and 28 people who received tetracycline and Myrtex, respectively. The case group received Myrtex solution and the control group received 250-mg tetracycline capsules. The patients in both groups kept the drug on the ulcer for 30 seconds four times a day. They answered the visual analogue scale (VAS) on days 0, 2, and 6 and were clinically examined to check any chenges in ulcer size and healing. Results: According to VAS analysis, the pain and irritation levels in the Myrtex group were 34.8% less than in the tetracycline group (P<0.02). The ulcer size was 40% higher on the second day in the Myrtex group than in the tetracycline group, which was statistically significant (P<0.02), but the ulcer size changes on the sixth day of follow-up were not statistically significant (P<0.15). Conclusion: According to the study, the administration of Myrtex is more effective in reducing the severity of pain and irritation and improving the quality of life. Therefore, it is recommended to prescribe Myrtex (Myrtex 5%) on the basis of the mentioned method for the treatment of minor aphthous.}, Keywords = {Recurrent aphthous stomatitis, Tetracycline, Myrtus communis extract, Visual analogue scale, Ulcer duration}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {20-26}, publisher = {ilam university of medical sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-494-en.html}, eprint = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-494-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Basic Research in Medical Sciences}, issn = {2383-0506}, eissn = {2383-0972}, year = {2021} } @article{ author = {Homayounpour, Gholamreza and Hosseini, Mojgan and Keshavarzi, Fatemeh}, title = {Allele frequency of DYS393 and DYS19 in Iranian Kurdish men}, abstract ={Introduction: Repetitive Y sequences in evolutionary studies and tracing of human migration are useful indicators. This study aimed to investigate the allelic frequency and differentiation of DYS393 and DYS19 markers in 200 Iranian Kurdish men. Materials and Methods: The blood samples were collected from  200 unrelated Kurdish men that three generations of them were Kurd and lived in four Kurdish provinces of Iran (Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Ilam, and West Azerbaijan). After DNA extraction, two markers were evaluated using the Monoplex PCR technique, and then alleles were separated for each marker using the Real-time PCR technique. The obtained data were analyzed by HRM diagram and the final statistical calculations were analyzed by Genalex software (version 4.6). Results: The genetic diversity of DYS393 and DYS19 markers were 0.69, 0.607 and the number of alleles were 5 and 4 for each of the markers,  respectively. Also, the most allele frequency belonged to the alleles 14 and 12 in DYS393 and DYS19 markers, respectively. 12, 9, 8 and 7 haplotypes were belong to Kermanshah, Kurdistan, Azerbaijan and Ilam, respectively, and 2, 1 and 1 specific haplotypes were also observed in Kermanshah, Kurdistan and Azerbaijan provinces, respectively.  In addition, Kermanshah province has the highest amount of N_e and H_e, therefore, it has the most influential haplotypes in the population. Conclusion: The loci studied in the Kurdish population of the west of Iran has a high haplotype diversity and has close similarity with the Caucasian Kurdish immigrants, the Iranian population and the Turkish Kurds.

In the present study, we investigated the effect of eight weeks of endurance and resistance exercise activity activities and exposure to cold temperatures on plasma irisin levels in of diabetic Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Number of 46 obese male Wistar rats (12-week-old) weighing 325 ± 2 g with type 2 diabetes mellitus-induction of diabetes by STZ injection- were randomly divided into six groups. Two groups received the resistance exercise (8 weeks, three days a week, eight repetitions per day, fence length 1.35 m and slope 85 degrees) at normal (23 ± 2 °C) and cold (16 ± 2 °C) temperatures, two groups were allocated to endurance exercise (8 weeks, five days a week, at a speed of 20 meters per minute and a slope of 15%) at the normal and cold temperatures, the last two groups were control groups (without training intervention) at the ordinary and cold temperatures. 48 hours after the last training session, serum samples were collected while the rats were in fasting. Irisin levels were assessed by the ELISA method. Data were analyzed using Spss SPSS software version 16 and one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test (P<0.05). Results: The results of one-way ANOVA showed a significant increase in serum irisin values in groups of endurance exercise and resistance exercise compared with control groups in both temperatures (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between fasting blood sugar levels in the endurance exercise and resistance exercise groups compared with the control groups at both temperatures (P<0.05). A significant decrease in the ratio of LDL to HDL was observed in the groups of endurance exercise and resistance exercise groups compared to the control groups at both temperatures (P<0.05). Conclusion: Endurance and resistance exercises increase irisin protein and decrease fasting blood sugar and the ratio of LDL to HDL.

The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on serum levels of some muscle atrophy factors in male athletes after ACL reconstruction surgery. Materials and methods: Twenty male athletes after ACL reconstruction surgery were selected and randomly divided into two groups of BFR training and control (10 in each group). Subjects in both groups performed resistance training (at intensity of 30 to 70 percentage of 10 repetition maximum, 2- 4 sets) for 12 weeks. Furthermore, subjects in the training group performed BFR training (resistance training combined with putting the pressure cuff in the upper thigh at a pressure of 120-180 mm Hg) during 12 weeks. Blood samples were collected before and 48 hours after the last training session and used for analyzing serum levels of atrogin 1 and muscle RING finger protein 1 (MuRF1). Data analysis was done by analysis of covariance and paired t test, and P<0.05 considered significant. Results: Twelve weeks of BFR training significantly decreased serum levels of atrogin 1 (P=0.01) and MuRF1 (P=0.035) in the post-test compared to the pre-test. In addition, significant differences were observed between the BFR and control groups for atrogin 1 levels (P=0.047). Conclusion: The findings showed that BFR training reduces the concentration of major proteins associated with muscle atrophy such as atrogin-1 and MuRF1 and plays an important role in inhibiting atrophy and consequently can increase muscle mass following injury.}, Keywords = {Blood Flow Restriction, Muscle Atrophy, Anterior cruciate ligament}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {45-52}, publisher = {ilam university of medical sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-550-en.html}, eprint = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-550-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Basic Research in Medical Sciences}, issn = {2383-0506}, eissn = {2383-0972}, year = {2021} } @article{ author = {Babaei, Mohammad and KalantariHesari, Ali and Soltani, Salm}, title = {Evaluation of the Camphor effects on histological parameters of skin in adult mice and the protective role of vitamin E}, abstract ={Introduction: Camphor is known to Asian nations for many centuries. The camphor can be used in traditional medicine as an aromatic substance, sexual thrills controller, for cosmetic uses such as the rose color of skin, stimulating blood circulation and respiratory system, mental stimuli, hair removal. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of camphor on the skin parameters and the protective role of vitamin E as a potent antioxidant in the treatment of complications of camphor. Materials and Methods: In this study, 50 male mice (BALB/c) with 20-25 gr weight were used randomly in 5 groups. The control group received normal saline, and two of the groups as control-sham received olive oil alone and the combination of the vitamin E and olive oil. Finally, two experimental groups received camphor alone (30 mg/kg) with daily rubbing on the interscapular region and camphor with vitamin E (100 mg/kg) daily by gavage for 35 days. At the end of the period, the skin samples were taken, and after tissue processing and preparing sections, histological parameters were evaluated. Results: The results showed a significant reduction in the number of hair follicles, changes in dermal thickness, and a maximum depth of follicles in the group received the camphor. While the vitamin E was slightly able to reduce the effects of camphor (P <0.05).
