    Abstract Background: : Obesity is a global health challenge. Traditional approaches, including increased physical activity, dietary interventions, and medical therapy, often yield limited success, propelling some patients toward costly and invasive procedures like bariatric surgery. Laser acupuncture has been suggested as a complementary therapeutic approach to overcome this challenge. The present study investigated the effectiveness of laser acupuncture treatment in weight loss and abdominal subcutaneous fat reduction.
    Methods: : A randomized, blinded, sham-controlled clinical trial was conducted, with 30 subjects each in the intervention and control groups. Patients in the intervention group underwent 12 sessions of laser acupuncture treatment within a month (three sessions/week), whereas those in the control group received sham laser treatment on identical acupoints. The patients were instructed not to alter their physical activity levels or dietary regimens. All parameters were evaluated before and after the treatment.
    Results: : Significant reductions in weight, body mass index, and waist circumference were noted in both intervention and control groups. Further analysis revealed a more significant decrease in the laser acupuncture group. Abdominal sonography revealed a marked decrease in periumbilical fat thickness in the intervention group. Conversely, laboratory evaluations showed no significant difference between the two groups.
    Conclusion: : Laser acupuncture is an effective method for weight loss in patients with periumbilical abdominal fat. The observed impact on subcutaneous fat suggests its potential as a non-invasive intervention for individuals seeking weight management alternatives. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms of laser acupuncture in adipose tissue modulation.

    Abstract Dear Editor, Scientists are concerned about a new virus that has infected tens of thousands of people and killed more than 2,000. The virus, which emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December, is a coronavirus and belongs to the same family as the pathogen that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. It causes a respiratory illness called COVID-19, which can spread from person to person.[1] Laser and Virus Fatma Vatansever Together with their research team in the year 2013 they came to this conclusion by testing on viruses and pathogens UVC, blue light, PDI have been shown to be effective in inactivating pathogens without harm [2].Research on the use of lasers in viral mortality is not widespread, but with a few studies, the effectiveness of laser blue light and LEDs in eliminating the virus can now be studied. Diem ThoHo, with his research team studying 400 nm blue light, concluded thatThe results of this study provide the first evidence that 405-nm LED light has antiviral activity [3]. there are some wavelengths that can decrease microorganisms directly, such as blue, ultraviolet, or violet wavelengths. We can increase these effects by possibly combining this method with another method known as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). According to mechanisms mentioned earlier, we are referring to the capabilities of PBM and photodynamic therapy. The best use is a combination of both methods, as mentioned earlier. The present treatments are focused on virus removal, tissue oxygenation, and reduction or inhibition of cytokine storm caused by severe inflammation. With a combination of these two methods, we can achieve these goals with minimal interference with pharmaceutical methods and battle this disease with biophysical agen [4]. The Blue Laser: Blue laser light of different wavelengths has been reported to have positive effects on our immune system. Can be used for anti-microbial photodynamic therapy (for bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases) [5]. Based on past studies and the effectiveness of low-power laser light, we can use venous laser light in this method intravenously, but it should be noted that using blue light in a venous form is more cautious. Therefore, the use of this method should be all factors such as: Age, gender, weight, specific disease, and laser duration were considered so that we could do this properly.The wavelength used will be 405 nanometers with a power of 1.5 to 2 milliwatts, which due to the high energy of this wavelength should not exceed the mentioned power, and the duration of laser radiation according to the factors from 10 to 20 minutes in 10 sessions. There will be a day in between The goal is to reduce inflammation of the lungs and increase the amount of nitric oxygen that will increase the body's immunity and improve oxygen delivery to the blood and tissues.

    Abstract Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most frequent invasive form of breast cancer followed by metastasis. There is no accepted marker for distinguishing this form from other less aggressive forms of breast cancer. Therefore, finding new markers especially molecularly detectable ones are noteworthy. It has been shown that NOTCH1 has been overexpressed in the patients with breast cancer, but no study has investigated the expression of NOTCH1 and its correlation with other molecular and hormonal markers of breast cancer so far. In the current study, 20 breast cancer tissues and 20 matched adjacent normal breast tissue from breast cancer patients were obtained and categorized in two groups: patients with IDC and patient with other types of breast cancer. Gene expression analysis using real-time PCR showed that the NOTCH1 gene was significantly overexpressed in patients with IDC. We also found a slight correlation between NOTCH1 overexpression and p53 accumulation in the cancerous cells confirmed by Immunohistochemistry (IHC). This results showed that it is possible to introduce NOTCH1 expression as a novel biomarker of IDC, alone or preferably accompanied by IHC of p53. We also can design new therapeutic agents targeting NOTCH1 expression for inhibition of metastasis in ductal breast carcinoma.
