There are some risk factors in diabetes as a multifactorial disease. Among these factors, the FINGER print as a family background has a very important role especially in diabetes mellitus type I. In this research, we studied on 124 patients with diabetic mellitus type I and 120 healthy controls from Arak, Kashan and Qom hospitals. Then we obtained the sample of FINGERs from all of cases addition of the signed consent forms. After doing examination and finding the related parameters of FINGER print, statistical tests have done by SPSS. The results showed that there is a significant difference in right hand FINGERs between patients and normal group (P<0.05). Also t-test exam (α<%5) showed that there is a significant differences in Total Ridge Count in small FINGER of left hand in men with diabetes I versus healthy men(p=0.012) as well as the Total Ridge count in patients rather than healthy group (p=0.002). The results shows that Diabetes Mellitus type I is the most effective factor in this difference.

However, there are some evidence regarding the association between dermatoglyphics and intellectual functioning, few studies have been done in this field yet. The present study involves the evaluation of dematoglyphic patterns of FINGERs in 342 adolescents (group 1; 144 talents, group 2; 102 normal adolescents and group 3; 96 learning disabled patients) from Shahrekord in Iran, in order to examine this hypothesis. The most frequent dermatoglyphic pattern was whorl on following FINGERs: right digit I, right digit II, right digit IV, left digit II in 3 groups, left digit IV in group 2 & 3, left digit I of group 2 and ulnar loop on other FINGERs. An excess of whorl were seen on right digit I of normal adolescents than talents and on left digit V of the learning disabled than talents. There was also an excess of ulnar loop on right digit II of the learning disabled than normal adolescents and on right digit II of talents than normal adolescents and on left digit V of the learning disabled than talents. An excess of radial loop was also seen on right digit II of talents than the learning disabled. Our results support a relation ship between some dermatoglyphic patterns seen on right digit II and lfet digit V with intellectual functioning. For more powerful evidence, further researches, especially using various quantitative dermatoglyphic indices- and in particular digit II- in a larger sample size, are recommended.

Pollen grains of 7 species of the genus Rubus L. were investigated using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 14 different pollen characters were described, illustrated and compared in the present st-udy. All pollen grains were monad, tricolporate, radially symmetrical, isopolar, and medium in size. As for pollen sh-ape, 3 forms were recognized in the same specimens: prolate, perprolate and prolate-spheroidal. Endopore was located in the middle of colpi. The sculpture of the grains was confirmed to have striate pattern. The size of perforation and the orientation of the muri were compared and appeared to indicate the differences between the species. R.caesius, R. discolor, R. dolichocarpus and R. hirtus appear to have steriate-scabrate sculpture; in contrast, R. hyrcanus Juz., R. persicus Boiss. and R. sanctus Schreber. appear to have meandrical and FINGERprint-like sculpture. Perforations are of two types. They are either large or often extending to tectal ridges or minute holes. Characters of pollen grains were proved their usefulness for separating taxa at the specific level. It seems that there is a link between the diversity of pollens and the vegetation habitats.

Background: Several biometric systems like FINGERPRINTS, voice scan, iris scan, and palm scan are currently in use. Biometric authentication is an essential process to identify and verify any person for safety reasons. Tongue print is a new method for biometric identification that is unique and cannot be copied easily. Objectives: This study aims to assess the tongue morphological features and its variations regarding gender and different ethnicities. Methods: The study sample included two hundred fifty participants. Visual examination of the tongue was done, followed by capturing digital photographs. The photographs were analyzed for the surface morphological features like tongue shape, the presence of fissures, and its distribution pattern. The shape of the tongue was determined by considering three reference points. Results: Central fissures are the most common feature seen on the dorsal surface of the tongue. The shallow fissure is more common than deep fissures. Females had a higher number of both deep and shallow fissures when compared to males. U shaped were common in males (52. 6%) than females (40. 6%), while V-shaped was more in females (56. 1%). A significant proportion of Malay race has a U-shaped tongue; meanwhile, V-shaped is predominantly found in Indian race. Conclusions: Tongue PRINTS may constitute secure methods for forensic dentistry identification. The tongue can be a real proof of life as it is unique, and there are no two tongues with similar shape and texture. Lingual morphological aspects are difficult to copy and display stability over time.

Bone and soft-tissue tuberculosis accounts for approximately 1% and 2% of total cases of tuberculosis, respectively. Tubercular involvement of metacarps and phalanges of the hand are extremely rare. In this case report a young woman was presented with FINGER tuberculosis without active pulmonary involvement.

ZincFINGER CCCH (C3HZNF) genes encode proteins with three cysteines and one histidine. The proteins of this family are an important group of zinc FINGER transcription factors that are effective in various activities such as plant growth and response to biotic and abiotic stresses and actually They are effective in stresses tolarance. In this article, C3HZNF protein data of Arabidopsis and rice plants were used to analyze phylogenetic relationships, exon/intron structure, motifs/domains organization. These studies showed the high homology of these genes with CCCH genes in rice. Analysis of the gene structure showed that AtC3Hs have a variable number of exons, but in general, genes with 1 and 7 exons contain the largest number. study the physical and chemical properties of this family showed that AtC3H36 is the most stable protein among the members of this family, and the highest isoelectric point belongs to the AtC3H7(9.96) protein. The observations showed that the members of this gene family have 1 to 6 Znf C3H domains and a total of 17 functional domains. Phylogeny comparison between C3H proteins in rice and Arabidopsis showed that these proteins are highly conserved. In the comparative phylogenetic analysis of AtC3H and OsC3H, the orthologous genes were placed in one group. For example, OsC3H8 showed close homology to HUA1 in Arabidopsis (AtC3H37), suggesting that this gene is involved in flower development. This study provides valuable information about the important CCCH zinc FINGER gene family in Arabidopsis and rice. This information can be helpful in understanding how these genes work to help plant tolarance when faced with biotic and abiotic stresses.

As researchers of the handwritten versions assume, reader of such texts tend to attach and add their understanding of the stories, statements or poems in the margin of the texts. Later, these attachments are added to the main text by some writers. These additions are either intentional and unintentional; the former is generally introduced either by those who intend to rewrite the manuscript for themselves or by those who were both writers and correctors of the handwritten texts. This has been manifested in stone PRINTS of the Maktubat-e-Sadi as the most important Persian work by Sharaf al-dî n-e Maneri (1263?-1380). In stone PRINTS of this work, the writers have added some verses to the text which have never been in original handwritten versions. The authors of present research have identified the verses added to the main text and indicated how these verses are linked to Maktubat-e-Sadi. Accordingly, the attached verses can be divided into three classes: first the verses by lecturers who lived prior to Maneri, second, verses of speakers who lived after Sharaf al-dî n and third, verses from some anonymous poets. We assume that irrespective of verses having no links to the main text, other added verses in stone PRINTS are related to the Maktubat-e-Sadi for six reasons: 1) emphasizing and confirming meaning, 2) illuminating the Text, 3) completing and complementing the poems' meanings, 4) rendering the meaning in verse, 5) Meaning interpretation and 6) simile and idiomatic expressions.
