    Abstract Aim: Analysis of networks of digestive disorder and their relationship with Covid-19 based on systems biology methods, evaluation similarity, and usefulness of networks to give a new treatment approach.
    Background: Digestive disorders are typically complex diseases associated with high treatment costs. They are related to the immune system and inflammation. With the outbreak of Covid-19, this disease was shown to have signs like diarrhea. Some signs of Covid-19 are similar to those of digestive disorders, like IBD and diarrhea. Both of them are accompanied by inflammation and induce disorders in the digestive system.
    Methods: DisGeNET and STRING databases were sources of disease genes and constructing networks and were used to construct the network of digestive diseases and Covid-19. Three plugins of Cytoscape software, namely ClusterONE, ClueGO, and CluePedia, were used to analyze cluster networks and enrichment pathways. To describe the interaction of proteins, information from KEGG pathway and Reactome was used.
    Results: According to the results, IBD, gastritis, and diarrhea have common pathways. The CXCL8, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, TLR4, and MBL2 molecules were identified as inflammatory molecules in all networks.
    Conclusion: It seems that detecting genes and pathways can be useful in applying new approaches for treating these diseases.

    Abstract Background: Fucoidans are a group of sulfated fucose-rich polysaccharides that are isolated from brown marine algae and echinoderms, and recently have been found in seagrasses. Fucoidans, as well as their derivatives, have several beneficial biological effects and therapeutic potentials. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the anticoagulative effects of two species of brown algae, namely Sargassum angustifolium (S. angustifolium) and Cystoseira indica (C. indica). Methods: Fucoidan C and fucoidan S were extracted by an ethanol/water solvent system from S. angustifolium and C. indicia, respectively. The anticoagulative effects of fucoidan C and fucoidan S were tested on 10 normal serum samples by evaluating the rate of thrombin time (PT) and prothrombin time (PTT). Results: Both fucoidan C and fucoidan S significantly increased PTT. However, no significant difference was observed in PT. Fucoidan C had a greater effect on PTT prolongation compared with fucoidan S. Conclusion: Both fucoidans extracted from S. angustifolium and C. indicia can be used as anticoagulants in biotechnology and human disorders.
