Diabetes mellitus is a group of diverse and complex metabolic disorders. Both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus are associated with distinct alterations in the profile of MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in the blood, which are sometimes detectable several years before the disease manifests. Lately, considerable attention has been paid to the role of miRNAs as biomarkers for T2D. The aim of this study was to review the expression of different miRNAs in pre-diabetic (per-T2D), T2D and healthy groups. Conclusion After evaluating several articles, including main articles, meta-analysis and review studies, it was found that the expression of micRNAs was statistically different in healthy, pre-T2D and T2D groups. In addition, the expression of specific miRNAs is useful in preventing disease and modifying gene structure. This study indicated that the plasma expression level of miRNAs could be considered as a non-invasive and fast tool for the separation of pre-T2D individuals from their healthy counterparts.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to help eliminate ambiguity about the prevalence of restless legs syndrome in Iranian hemodialysis patients by systematic review and meta-analysis study. Methods: This study was performed based on PRISMA checklist. Documents were obtained from English and Persian databases such as Magiran, Sid, Medilib, Iranmedex, Irandoc, CIVILICA, ISC, Pubmed, Scopus, Springer, and Google Scholar Engine from 2000 to 2021. All reviewed articles with selection criteria were evaluated qualitatively with the STROBE checklist. Comprehensive Meta-analysis (CMA-2) software was used to analyze the data by meta-analysis random effects method. Results: Prevalence of restless legs syndrome in the patients under hemodialysis was estimated to be 49.6% (95% CI: 39.9-59.3) in 13 studies with 2431 Iranian samples that 62.3% of whom were men. The prevalence of this disorder was 54.2% in Iranian women (95% CI: 41.7-66.3) and 43.5% in Iranian men (95% CI: 31.6-56.3). The most and least prevalence of restless legs syndrome in hemodialysis patients was respectively in Yazd (66.4%) and in Tehran (35.3%). In addition, regression analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between sex, urban areas, sample size and age of patients with restless legs syndrome. Conclusion: The prevalence of restless legs syndrome is high in Iranian hemodialysis patients, which early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of this disorder in adults seems necessary. 5492 Neurology Frequency and Relationship between Risk Factors Affecting Recurrence of Cerebral Meningioma in Patients Admitted to Selected Hospitals in Yazd: A 10-Year Study Hoboubati Hamid l Khoshbin Masoud m Fallahzadeh Hossein n Nemati Moein o Halvani Gholamhossein p Fallah Madvari Rohollah Mirjalili Shoukoh l Medicine Faculty, Yazd Branch, Islamic Azad University, Yazd, Iran. m Medicine Faculty, Yazd Branch, Islamic Azad University, Yazd, Iran. n Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran. o Department of Occupational Health Engineering, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran. p Department of Occupational Health Engineering, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran.

Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between recurrent meningioma risk factors and the rate of meningioma recurrence in Yazd City. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on all the patients who have surgery for meningioma in Shahid Rahnemoun and Mortaz Hospitals in Yazd City for 10 years. Patient's information, including age, sex, size, grade, diseases and bone changes were extracted from the patients' records. After determining the recurrence status of the disease, information was entered into SPSS version 16 software for Chi-square, Anova and T-test. Results: The most common meningioma was in the age group of 50 to 70 years. In this study, out of 300 patients with meningioma who underwent surgery, 50 (16.7%) had a recurrence of the disease. The recurrence rate was significantly associated with meningioma size, disease grade, and radiotherapy and diabetes (P <0.05). The recurrence rate in this study decreased with the increasing age of the patients. Conclusion: According to the results, considering factors such as age, disease grade, tumor size, radiotherapy and diabetes, which are important predictors of disease recurrence, in managing meningioma patients after surgery and identifying high-risk individuals for disease recurrence are helpful. In the following, due to the involvement of effective factors in the disease, more extensive and retrospective studies are recommended.   5384 Dental Assessment of the Attitude of Undergraduate Dental Students and Interns towards Empathy in Dental Faculty of Tehran Islamic Azad University in 2020 Partovi Pouriya Alaee Arezoo Kharazi Fard Mohammad Javad Dental School, Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Due to the plasmonic properties of gold nanoparticles, this compound was used as a contrast agent. The aim of this study was to synthesize gold nanoparticles with different conjugations for photothermal therapy. Methods: This research was an experimental study. The method used for the synthesis of spherical and rod gold nanoparticles in this research was the Seeding Method. The nanoparticles were then conjugated with various compounds such as rifampicin, quercetin and RGD. Then, the physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles were determined by DLS, UV-Vis and TEM methods. Cytotoxicity test was also performed on MCF-7 ((Michigan Cancer Foundation-7)) cell line. Cell viability was calculated using prism software. Differences were compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS version 16 software. Results: In the UV test, two-peaked rod nanoparticles were observed in the range of 523 and 738 nm, and in the case of spherical nanoparticles at 535 wavelengths, which indicates the correct synthesis without impurities and with the appropriate size .In the cell test, a decrease in cell viability was observed compared to the control group. In the first 24 hours, spherical nanoparticles had the highest lethality to the point that at a concentration of 20 μg / ml, it had almost 50% lethality. In addition, after 48 hours at low concentrations, rod nanoparticles showed better results, so they were more suitable. By targeting these nanoparticles to specific cancer cells, in addition to being used to kill cancer cells, the effect of these nanoparticles on healthy cells can be prevented. By conjugating different compounds on the surface of these nanoparticles, cell uptake can also be increased and cancer cells can be killed using photothermal therapy. Conclusion: According to the results obtained in this study, it seems that low-concentration of gold nano-rods are more suitable for photothermal therapy.   5185 Physiology Evaluation the Protective Role of Gallic Acid on Cardiac Arrhythmias Induced by Oxidative Stress in Rat Exposure to Particulate Matters Dianat Mahin Radan Maryam Badavi Mohammad Mard Ali Bayati Vahid Goudarzi Gholamreza Department of Physiology, Persian Gulf Physiology Research Center,Medical Basic Sciences Research Institute, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran Department of Physiology, Persian Gulf Physiology Research Center,Medical Basic Sciences Research Institute, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran.

Gallic acid (GA) with strong antioxidant properties has shown an effective role in reducing the complications of various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of Gallic acid in preventing cardiac arrhythmias due to exposure to particulate matter. Methods: In this study, 40 rats were placed in 4 groups including: control, Particulate matter (5 mg/kg), Gallic acid (30 mg/kg) and particulate matter + Gallic acid. The rats were anesthetized, blood pressure was measured with a tail cuff, and the lead Π of electrocardiogram was examined to record the prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias. Oxidative stress factors were evaluated in blood samples of all groups. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 and ANOVA statistical test. Results: The results showed the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmia in rats exposed to particulate matter compared to the control group. Gallic acid significantly reduced the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias ventricular tachycardia (P=0.006), ventricular fibrillation (P=0.0005) and premature ventricular contraction (P=0.0041) in the particulate matter group. The Malondialdehyde levels in the particulate matter group showed a significant increase (P=0.0049) that this increase caused oxidative stress and reduced the levels of superoxide dismutase (P=0.00031) and catalase (P=0.0019) in the particulate matter group compared to the control group. The Gallic acid administration improved the levels of antioxidant enzymes. Conclusion: The results of this study show that Gallic acid as a natural antioxidant agent could prevent cardiac complications caused by exposure to particulate matter. 5554 Obstetrics Evaluation of the Efficacy and Side Effects of Catheter-Specific Intrauterine Insemination in Infertile Couples, a Randomized Clinical Trial Naghshineh Elham Ghasemi Tehrani Hatav Khani Behnaz Bagheri Nasrin Tavakol Najmeh Maghool Fatemeh Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, School of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the efficiency of the Masstec catheter (the internal product) with imported catheter (PMIU) so that, if similar, use domestic production as an alternative to imported. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial continuous sampling method performed in Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Isfahan between 2016-2017. In this study, out of 62 infertile couples, 30 used catheters (Masstec), produced by Salamat Yar Hakim Engineering Company - Iran, and 32 imported catheters (PMIU), produced by Ellios BioTek – France. Primary outcomes included difficulty in catheter placement, the need to use a tenaculum, and the need for cervical dilatation during IUI. Secondary outcomes included chemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and abortion. The data were analyzed using Chi-square, t-test and logistic regression. Results: Fisher exact test results showed no significant difference in primary outcome between the two groups (P>0.05). Secondary outcomes, including chemical, clinical and abortion rates were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). Efficacy and side effects of Masstec IUI catheter were not different from PMIU catheter. Conclusion: Our study showed that the efficacy and side effects of the Masstec IUI catheter were not different from PMIU catheter. Given the similar efficacy and side effects and lower cost of the IUI catheter produced by the local company than the imported catheter, the use of local catheter is recommended for IUI candidate patients.   5463 Dental Investigating Fear of Obtaining Dental Services and Related Causes in Medical Students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in 2020 Hajimaghsoodi Samira Akhavankarbasi Mohammadhasan Bagheridokht Rezvan Department of Oral Medicine, Dental School, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran.
