    Abstract Different cellular mechanisms contribute to osteocyte development. And while critical roles for members of the zinc finger protein SNAI family (SNAIs) have been discussed in cancer-related models, there are few reviews summarizing their importance for chondrocyte-to-osteocyte development. To help fill this gap, we review the roles of SNAIs in the development of mature osteocytes from chondrocytes, including the regulation of chondro- and osteogenesis through different signaling pathways and in programmed cell death. We also discuss how epigenetic factors-including DNA methylation, histone methylation and acetylation, and noncoding RNAs-contribute differently to both chondrocyte and osteocyte development. To better grasp the important roles of SNAIs in bone development, we also review genotype-phenotype correlations in different animal models. We end with comments about the possible importance of the SNAI family in cartilage/bone development and the potential applications for therapeutic goals.

    Abstract E-health plays a crucial role in E-government by proposing healthcare services based on information technology. However, the way to administer these services by using E-health solutions is one of the challenging issues. One of these significant challenges is how one integrates heterogeneous healthcare information of the different point of care systems. This paper introduces the Iranian integrated care electronic health record using the information gathered from several point-of-care systems in healthcare enterprises in Iran. This service-oriented architecture has a remarkable characteristic - its accessibility to medical knowledge and medical concepts through archetypes and ontology, respectively. The Ministry of Health and Medical Education of the Islamic Republic of Iran has designed and implemented this national architecture.

    Abstract Introduction: How to reduce the fatality of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still challenging. A proper nutritional support has been always a matter of attention in critically ill patients.
    Material and methods: We assessed COVID-19 patients who had received intralipid infusion due to medical indications and compared them with those who did not receive it regarding fatality rate and prognosis. As a part of a data mining project using data of observational cohort of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the educational centers of Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, an inferential case series was performed. A total of 19 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were selected from the cohort. Briefly, 13 patients survived and 6 patients died, and 12 patients were admitted in intensive care unit (ICU). All dead cases were ICU admitted. The association of intralipid infusion and survival rate was examined using Fisher exact test. No association was observed between intralipid infusion and survival.
    Conclusions: No significant protecting effect was observed for patients who received intralipid for medical indications. Since intralipid was administered according to medical indications, surviving of all the non-ICU admitted patients despite having underlying diseases was remarkable. Despite the fact, due to several bias factors that could not be controlled in such a retrospective study, the results might be accidental. We suggest to assess such an effect retrospectively in other centers as well.

    Abstract Aims: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous covalently closed non-coding RNAs produced by reverse splicing of linear RNA. These molecules are highly expressed in mammalian cells and show cell/tissue-specific expression patterns. They are also significantly dysregulated in various cancers and function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Emerging evidence reveals that circRNAs contribute to cancer progression via modulating different cell signaling pathways. Nevertheless, the functional significance of circRNAs in cell signaling pathways regulation is still largely elusive. Considering this, shedding light on the multi-pathway effects of circRNAs may improve our understanding of targeted cancer therapy. Here, we discuss how circRNAs regulate the major cell signaling pathways in human cancers.
    Materials and methods: We adopted a systematic search in PubMed using the following MeSH terms: circRNAs, non-coding RNAs, lncRNAs, exosomal circRNAs, cancer, and cell signaling.
    Key findings: We discussed different roles of circRNAs during tumorigenesis in which circRNAs affect tumor development through activating or inactivating certain cell signaling pathways via molecular interactions using various signaling pathways. We also discussed how crosstalk between circRNAs and lncRNAs modulate tumorigenesis and provides a resource for the identification of cancer therapeutic targets.
    Significance: We here elucidated how circRNAs can modulate different cell signaling pathways and play roles in cancer. This can broaden our horizons toward introducing promising prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Context: Access to real-time data that provide accurate and timely information about the status and extent of disease spread could assist management of the COVID-19 pandemic and inform decision-making.
    Aim: To demonstrate our experience with regard to implementation of technical and architectural infrastructure for a near real-time electronic health record-based surveillance system for COVID-19 in Iran.
    Method: This COVID-19 surveillance system was developed from hospital information and electronic health record (EHR) systems available in the study hospitals in conjunction with a set of open-source solutions; and designed to integrate data from multiple resources to provide near real-time access to COVID-19 patients' data, as well as a pool of health data for analytical and decision-making purposes.
    Outcomes: Using this surveillance system, we were able to monitor confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 in our population and to automatically notify stakeholders. Based on aggregated data collected, this surveillance system was able to facilitate many activities, such as resource allocation for hospitals, including managing bed allocations, providing and distributing equipment and funding, and setting up isolation centres.
    Conclusion: Electronic health record systems and an integrated data analytics infrastructure are effective tools to enable policymakers to make better decisions, and for epidemiologists to conduct improved analyses regarding COVID-19.
    Implications: Improved quality of clinical coding for better case finding, improved quality of health information in data sources, data-sharing agreements, and increased EHR coverage in the population can empower EHR-based COVID-19 surveillance systems.

    Abstract Today, the demand for health-oriented systems to facilitate and improve treatment processes is growing. For different information systems with different structures and technologies to be able to communicate with each other, a single gateway is required. The gateway acts as an interface between information systems and unifies protocols, rules, and standards related to communication processes. Health-related systems need a unique regulator that explains data models, coding, and data exchange structures. Moreover, the gateway has control over information systems and the data transmitted between them. In this paper, we explain an integrated gateway of health information exchange named DITAS which is a bridging point between health-related systems.

    Abstract Lack of up-to-date information of hospitals beds, specifically in emergencies, is a significant problem in many large countries; The Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran (MOHME) designed and implemented a dynamic system that reports the status of beds in 2012. This system created great opportunities for national bed management, including real-time hospital admission monitoring, especially for emergency departments, ICUs and CCUs. Therefore, an additional online system was planned to be implemented for monitoring hospital admissions, including a national alert system. Prior to the design of this system, a study was done using literature study and expert opinion to investigate the advantages and features that this monitoring system was required to have. We used the MoSCoW method to prioritize the requirements of the system. This system was designed to have the following advantages, among other things: the hospitals as well as government should be able to track the patients, manage patient distribution in healthcare centers, and make policy for supplying extra beds. It should also be possible for the hospitals executive board, as well as the government, to monitor the performance of the hospitals regarding patient admissions (i.e., the rate of rejection of patients with severe conditions).
