Abstract: 

The genus Mycobacterium is a group of acid fast bacteria with DNA G+C content of 61-71% and the cell wall containing mycolic acid. According to growth physiology, mycobacteria grouped into two divisions: rapidly-growing and slow-growing mycobacteria. Three groups of mycobacteria exist based on pigment production: non-pigmented (non-photochromogens), photo-chromogens and scoto-chromogen. Both human obligate pathogens (M. tuberculosis and M. leprae) and opportunistic species exist in mycobacteria genus. There is different kind of mycobacterial infections such as respiratory infections, lymphatic node and skeletal involvement, dermal and disseminated infection. Spread of HIV virus and immunodeficiency in recent years makes the mycobacterial infections one of the most dangerous infections. Acid fast staining, biochemical tests and cell wall mycolic acid and fatty acid analysis are used for detection of mycobacteria. Different molecular tests including different PCR based methods; hybridization and sequencing tests are used for diagnosis and also verifying phenotypic and biochemical tests. Clarithromycin, rifabutin, ciprofloxacin, rifampin and ethambutol currently were used for treatment of slow growing mycobacterial infections. Whereas macrolides, cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones are used for rapidly growing treatment. For rapidly growing mycobacteria, disk diffusion method, disk elution method and broth micro dilution method are more appropriate. Radiometric methods and broth micro dilution method are choice methods for slow growing mycobacteria drug susceptibility test. Moreover molecular methods like PCR single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP), Sequencing, PCR-RFLP and Multiplex-PCR are developed for drug susceptibility determination in mycobacteria. According to non-tuberculosis mycobacteria clinical significance, clinical laboratories and health care team most take attention to diagnosis of these bacterial infections.

Abstract: 

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which has been well known for its role on calcium and phosphate homeostasis since many years ago, but several studies have shown in recent years that vitamin D is involved in a variety of other processes which can be included its role on the immune system and the related diseases. In this article, the most recent findings about the role of vitamin D in the immune system and a number of immune-related diseases have been investigated. Reviewing the articles shows that vitamin D and its receptor have an important role in the function of the body immune system. It seems that screening of vitamin D levels in the society can play a useful role not only in the preventing certain diseases and cancers but also in reducing the severity of the disease and better responding to common treatments.

Abstract: 

Introduction: The synthesis of collagen by fibroblast cells is directly involved in optimal wound healing because it is important to create this extracellular matrix as a suitable substrate for the incorporation of other cells, so any factor that may enhance collagen gene expression may be of interest in the healing context. In this study, we evaluated the effect of mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media on expression of mouse fibroblast cell collagen genes. . Methods: Cultures of human mesenchymal cells were used to produce effective factors. This effect was also performed on mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells and finally confirmed by cell growth and molecular analysis of expression of effector genes. Results: In this study, the amount of total protein of supernatant was measured by the Brad-Ford method, based on the standard curve of bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein of 40 μ g / ml. In the MTT toxicity test, OD toxicity at high concentrations did not lead to toxicity, but showed a higher growth than the diluted ones, this value being significantly higher at 40 and 20 μ g / ml than in the control group. Conclusion: Evaluation of the effects of human stem cell supernatant confirms the restorative efficacy of this fluid. According to the results, this conditioned media stimulates both the growth of fibroblast cells and can effectively express the expression of collagen genes this property can be exploited by clinical observations in the treatment of wounds, especially wounds that require more clinical management.
