    Abstract Given the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), as one of the most important non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the recognition of diagnostic biomarkers and potential treatment methods is very crucial. Today gut microbiota composition and its derived metabolites modification are known as one of the recent therapeutic strategies. Studies show that Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota-derived metabolite that may be involved in the development of cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic disease and atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation and arrhythmia, and heart failure. Due to existing some disagreements in this manner, future studies are needed to obtain a definitive sight of the association between this metabolite and CVDs. TMAO may be beneficial as a prognostic marker, which represents the degree of gut microbiota dysbiosis and subsequently CVD events and also different therapies methods based on TMAO and its metabolic pathways can be the target of clinical trial on cardiovascular disease and/or its prevention.

    Abstract Background: Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO), as a gut microbiota-derived metabolite, has been associated with a number of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases.
    Objective: Considering the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), we conducted a systematic review to discuss the TMAO association with NCDs.
    Methods: A comprehensive search has been conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases up to December, 2020. The inclusion criteria were all related observational studies that surveyed the association between TMAO levels and non-communicable diseases. Interventional studies, animal experiments, reviews, case reports, letters, congress abstracts, and studies that were not published in English were excluded. Moreover, related review studies were separately discussed.
    Results: Within 2191 recorded studies, 99 cross-sectional, case-control and cohort studies met the inclusion criteria. The most common diseases associated with TMAO levels are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, kidney disease, stroke, inflammatory diseases, neurological disorders, and cancer. Elevated TMAO levels as a consequence of alteration in gut microbiota composition and dietary intake can lead to the incidence of NCDs. The high levels of TMAO can disrupt the homeostasis of glucose and lipids and induce inflammation that leads to serious NCDs.
    Conclusion: There is a dose-response relationship between TMAO levels and NCDs progression. Therefore, it can be studied as a therapeutic target or prognostic biomarker for dealing with NCDs.

    Abstract Purpose: Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) is increasing along with its predisposing factors and adverse consequences. As gut microbiota dysbiosis is established in these patients, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which alters the bacterial composition of the intestine, supposedly can help improve cardiometabolic disturbances. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the impact of FMT on the cardiometabolic parameters and gut microbiota composition of patients experiencing at least one cardiometabolic issue.
    Methods: Eligible studies were searched through the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases until December 2022. The initial search results underwent duplication removal and screening until each included study was scanned for intended data. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to evaluate the methodologic accuracy of studies and the random effects model was used for conducting the meta-analysis.
    Findings: Eighteen of the original 2414 articles from the literature search were entered into the systematic review; of these, 11 were included in the meta-analysis. Insulin showed a significant decrease by 24.7 pmol/L (weighted mean difference [WMD], -24.77; 95% CI, -48.704 to -0.848) after short-term follow-up, and HDL increased by 0.1 mmol/l(WMD, 0.106; 95% CI, 0.027 to 0.184) and 0.12 mmol/l(WMD, 0.120; 95% CI, 0.003 to 0.237) in those using a capsule deliver mode and in short-term follow-up, respectively. No significant changes were seen in other lipid profiles, blood glucose, insulin resistance, or anthropometric indices. In addition, multiple studies reported gut microbiota alterations after the intervention, including an increase in butyrate-producing species.
    Implications: Although some articles reported the beneficial effects of FMT on metabolic parameters, we failed to find a clinically significant alteration. Also, information regarding proper donors and the best method to induce FMT have not yet been sufficiently investigated, which should be considered along with means to prevent potential damages.

    Abstract Considering the importance of COVID-19 disease pandemic, emerged by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), in line with other studies to find appropriate prevention or treatment methods for this virus infection, our study objective was proposing the use of natural derived ingredients as an approach for COVID-19 disease control. Here we reviewed previous studies on natural derived nasal sprays andfound that some known natural derived ingredients have antiviral properties, so their topical use as a nasalspray is effective in reducing the symptoms of respiratory infections. Moreover, such nasal sprays also have thepotential of decreasing viral load, including titer of coronaviruses, in the nasal cavity. It seems that the use ofcarrageenan or other herbal ingredients in the nasal spray may block the SARS-CoV-2 virus from entering thelung cells of an affected person and can also prevent virus transmission to other susceptible persons. Further,noticing what we know about the novel 2019 coronavirus so far, we suggested carrageenan that has an unspecific physical antiviral activity and some other natural derived ingredients, as a choice in coping with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.

    Abstract Objectives: Diabetes and its complications, as a major health concern, are associated with morbidity and mortality around the world. One of these complications is diabetic foot ulcer. Factors such as hyperglycemia, neuropathy, vascular damage and impaired immune system can cause foot ulcers. The present review aims to study the potential effects of melatonin, the main product of pineal glands, on diabetic foot ulcers.
    Methods: A narrative review was performed using present literature in an attempt to identify the different aspects of melatonin's impact on diabetic foot ulcers by searching related keywords in electronic databases without any restriction.
    Results: This review shows that, melatonin has anti-diabetic effects. It is effective in reducing the risk of hyperglycemia, neuropathy, vascular damage and immune system impairment in diabetic patients. By reducing these complications with melatonin, correspondingly, the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers may also decrease in these patients.
    Conclusions: The results of this study indicate promising properties of melatonin while dealing with diabetic foot ulcers and their common underlying conditions, but still, it needs to be investigated more in future studies.

    Abstract Introduction: Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare multisystemic disease that is named for its constellation which can easily be mistaken for other disorders.
    Case presentation: In present study we evaluated a 39-year-old man with hypercalcemia and parathyroid hormone. He underwent two failed surgeries for parathyroid adenoma but due to the presence of other features of the syndrome, a diagnosis of POEMS syndrome was made. His symptoms were multiple peripheral neuropathies, monoclonal plasma cell proliferative disorder, multiple bony lesions alongside endocrinopathy, lymphadenopathy, extravascular volume overload, mildly hypocellular marrow with polymorphic population, trilineage hematopoiesis, and progressive maturation less than 5 % plasma cell in bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. Patient was treated with the administration of Pomalidomide and autologous stem cell transplantation after which his symptoms improved and laboratory test results normalized.
    Discussion: POEMS syndrome is a rare disorder that is challenging to diagnose due to its variable clinical presentation and similarity to other disorders. However, specific criteria can help distinguish it from other syndromes. In this case, we witness the comorbidity of Ganglioneuroma. Also, hyperglycemia with hypercalcemia and high PTH in this patient are not common endocrine disorders in POEMS syndrome which there are some possible explanations for these symptoms' presentation.
    Conclusion: Although endocrine disorders are an important part of POEMs syndrome, some characteristic of this disease is unknown, and it becomes more difficult to diagnose in early stages, that in these cases, thorough physical examinations and laboratory results may help with the early diagnosis.

    Abstract Objective: Recent evidences suggested that hypertension was associated with changes in gut microbiota composition. As intervention with probiotics might be considered as one of the approaches for modulating gut microbiota, the objective of the present study was to systematically review the meta-analyses of controlled trials (CTs) to elucidate the effects of probiotics on blood pressure.
    Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases until November 2019 to explore all the meta-analyses conducted on the CTs assessing the efficacy of probiotics in the management of blood pressure (BP). Meta-analyses performed on
    Results: From the 111 records which were identified during the literature search, 5 meta-analyses met the selection criteria. Total sample size was 2703 subjects (1009 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)), aged 12-75 years from both sexes. Results of meta-analyses have been shown a moderate effect of probiotics on BP in hypertensive adults with/without T2DM; from 3.10 to 5.04 mmHg for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and from 0.39 to 3.84 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) after 3-24 weeks consumption. These effects were greater in adults with BP ≥ 130/85, by dairy products, by Asian fermented products with multiple species and higher dose of probiotics (≥ 10
    Conclusion: It seems probiotic foods and supplements which were contained high dose multiple species of probiotic bacteria could be more effective in BP control.

    Methods: We conducted a narrative review of previous studies which were related to the risk of tetanus infection in diabetic foot patients by searching electronic databases.
    Results: It was found that usually tetanus antibody titers in diabetic patients are below the protective level and they are not appropriately vaccinated. Therefore, diabetes and lack of immunity, put diabetic foot ulcer patients more at risk of tetanus. But this problem is not given serious attention in diabetes care.
    Conclusions: Thus, it is recommended to provide specific guidelines for tetanus vaccination and prophylaxis in diabetic patients. These recommendations can play a vital role in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers complication.
