Background: Tissue engineering of native vessels is an alternative approach for patients with vascular disease who lack sufficient saphenous vein or other suitable conduits for autologous vascular graft. Moreover, the harvest of vessels prolongs the surgical procedure and it may lead to the morbidity of donor site in elder patients: therefore, it seems that the use of tissue-engineered vessels would be an attractive and less invasive substitute for autologous vascular grafts. Apelin-13 plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation, survival, and attachment; therefore, covalent attachment of apelin-13 to the acellular scaffolds might be a favorable approach for improving recellularization efficacy. Methods: In the present study, the decellularization process was performed using various detergents. Afterward, the efficacy of decellularization procedure was evaluated using multiple approaches including assessment of DNA, hydroxyproline, and GAG content as well as Masson’s trichrome and orcein staining used for collagen and elastin determination. Subsequently, the scaffold was bioconjugated with apelin-13 using the EDC-NHS linker and acellular scaffolds were recellularized using fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. SEM images and characterization methods were also used to evaluate the effect of apelin-13 attachment to the acellular scaffold on tissue recellularization. We also developed a novel strategy to eliminate the remnant detergents from the scaffold and increase cell viability by incubating acellular scaffolds with Bio-Beads SM-2 resin. Testometric tensile testing machine was also used for the assessment of mechanical properties and uniaxial tensile strength of decellularized and recellularized vessels compared to that of native tissues. Results: Our results proposed 16-h perfusion of 0.25% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) + 0.5% Triton X-100 combination to the vessel as an optimal decellularization protocol in terms of cell elimination as well as extracellular matrix preservation. Furthermore, the results demonstrated considerable elevation of cell adhesion and proliferation in scaffolds bioconjugated with apelin-13. The immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of CD31, α-SMA, and vimentin markers suggested placement of seeded cells in the suitable sites and considerable elevation of cell attachment within the scaffolds bioconjugated with apelin-13 compared to the non-bioconjugated, and decellularized groups. Moreover, the quantitative analysis of IHC staining of CD31, α-SMA, and vimentin markers suggested considerable elevation in the number of endothelial, smooth muscle, and fibroblast cells in the recellularized scaffolds bioconjugated with apelin-13 group (1.4% ± 0.02, 6.66% ± 0.23, and 9.87% ± 0.13%, respectively) compared to the non-bioconjugated scaffolds (0.03% ± 0.01, 0.28% ± 0.01, and 1.2% ± 0.09%, respectively) and decellularized groups (0.03% ± 0.007, 0.05% ± 0.01, and 0.13% ±0.005%, respectively). Although the maximum strain to the rupture was reduced in tissues decellularized using 0.5% SDS and CHAPS compared to that of native ones (116% ± 6.79, 139.1% ± 3.24, and 164% ± 8.54%, respectively), ultimate stress was decreased in all decellularized and recellularized groups. Besides, our results indicated that cell viability on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day was 100.79% ± 0.7, 100.34% ± 0.08, and 111.24% ± 1.7% for the decellularized rat aorta conjugated with apelin-13, which was incubated for 48-h with Bio-Beads SM-2, and 73.37% ± 7.99, 47.6% ± 11.69, and 27.3% ± 7.89% for decellularized rat aorta scaffolds conjugated with apelin-13 and washed 48-h by PBS, respectively. These findings reveal that the incubation of the scaffold with Bio-Beads SM-2 is a novel and promising approach for increasing cell viability and growth within the scaffold. Conclusions: In conclusion, our results provide a platform in which xenograft vessels are decellularized properly in a short time, and the rec...

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men globally, constituting the sixth leading cause of cancer related death in males, and the eleventh leading cause of death from cancer in all age groups. In Jordan, prostate cancer is the third most common cancer in the male population, accounting for one third (6.2%) of cancer related deaths and in 2010 alone, 218 (9.4%) new cases were identified. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of different health education interventions aimed at enhancing knowledge, beliefs and intention to screen for prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: A literature search from January 2000 to April 2015 was conducted using the key words "prostate disease," "educational program," "knowledge," "prostate cancer," "demographic factors and prostate cancer," "knowledge and prostate cancer," "education for patients with prostate cancer," "factors that affect intention to screen," "knowledge, beliefs, and intention to screen for prostate cancer," "impact of prostate educational program on beliefs," and "impact of educational program on intention to screen." Results: Majority of studies reviewed indicated that men had low levels of knowledge regarding prostate cancer, and mild to moderate beliefs with good intention to screen for prostate cancer. Conclusions: Most studies indicated that men's knowledge levels about prostate cancer were poor and they had mild to moderate beliefs and intentions to screen for prostate cancer. Therefore, development of an assessment strategy based on the Health Belief Model seems essential. An effectively designed and implemented educational program can help identify the needs and priorities of the target population.

Objectives: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a global problem that many countries are challenged with. Rapid and accurate detection of MDR-TB is critical for appropriate treatment and controlling of TB. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the TaqMan allelic discrimination without minor groove binder (MGB) as a rapid, efficient, and low-cost method for detection of drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methods: A total of 112 M. tuberculosis isolates from cases with diagnosed TB were subjected to drug susceptibility testing (DST), using the proportion method. Resistant isolates were tested for characterization of mutations in the rpoB and KatG genes by TaqMan genotyping. Results: Of 112 M. tuberculosis isolates for which DST was performed, three, one, and two isolates were MDR, rifampin (RIF) resistant, and isoniazid (INH) resistant, respectively. According to the threshold cycle (Ct) and curve pattern of mutants, TaqMan probes detect all of the mutations in the analyzed genes (katG 315, AGC→ACC, rpoB 531, TCG→TTG, and rpoB 531, TCG→TGG). Conclusion: The present study suggests that drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis can be detected by pattern’s curve or Ct with TaqMan probes without MGB in real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Background/Aims: Chronic constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder diagnosed using Rome III criteria. Defecography is a radiographic method used to identify anatomic abnormalities of anorectum. The present study aimed to evaluate the defecographic findings in patients with severe idiopathic chronic constipation. Methods: One hundred patients, who complained of severe idiopathic chronic constipation with abnormal balloon expulsion test, underwent defecography after injection of barium. An analysis of radiographs was performed by an expert radiologist for the diagnosis of descending perineum syndrome, rectocele, enterocele, rectal ulcer, rectal prolapse, fecal residue of post defecation, and etc. Then, they were compared between the two sexes. Results: Normal defecography was only observed in two participants. Descending perineum syndrome was the most common abnor-mality (73.3%). The results showed that rectocele (80.8%) and descending perineum syndrome (69.2%) were most frequent in women. In males, descending perineum syndrome and rectal prolapse were more prevalent (87% and 43.5%, respectively). Compared with men, rectocele and rectal ulcer were more frequently observed in women (p<0.001, and p=0.04, respectively), while men were more affected by descending perineum syndrome (p=0.04). In total, women had a greater incidence of abnormal defecographic find-ings compared with men (p=0.02). Conclusions: Defecography can be performed to detect anatomic abnormalities in patients with severe idiopathic chronic con-stipation and abnormal balloon expulsion test. This technique can assist physicians in making the most suitable decision for surgical procedure. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2017;70:39-43)
