    Abstract Introduction: The use of artificial intelligence (AI), which can emulate human intelligence and enhance clinical results, has grown in healthcare decision-making due to the digitalization effects and the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to determine the scope of applications of AI tools in the decision-making process in healthcare service delivery networks.
    Materials and methods: This study used a qualitative method to conduct a systematic review of the existing reviews. Review articles published between 2000 and 2024 in English-language were searched in PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and Cochrane databases. The CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) Checklist for Systematic Reviews was used to evaluate the quality of the articles. Based on the eligibility criteria, the final articles were selected and the data extraction was done independently by 2 authors. Finally, the thematic analysis approach was used to analyze the data extracted from the selected articles.
    Results: Of the 14 219 identified records, 18 review articles were eligible and included in the analysis, which covered the findings of 669 other articles. The quality assessment score of all reviewed articles was high. And, the thematic analysis of the data identified 3 main themes including clinical decision-making, organizational decision-making, and shared decision-making; which originated from 8 subthemes.
    Conclusions: This study revealed that AI tools have been applied in various aspects of healthcare decision-making. The use of AI can improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of healthcare services by providing accurate, timely, and personalized information to support decision-making. Further research is needed to explore the best practices and standards for implementing AI in healthcare decision-making.

    Abstract Background: Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. Colorectal cancer is the second most common type. Additional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be recommended. Developing new techniques is vital due to drug resistance and a lack of targeted therapies.
    Objective: In this study, the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) loaded with oncolytic Coxsackievirus A21 (CVA21) on a mouse model of CRC were investigated.
    Methods: The therapeutic potency of MSCs loaded with oncolytic CVA21 was evaluated in an experimental mouse model of colorectal cancer which received an injection CT26 cells per mouse subcutaneously. Splenocyte proliferation index, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, nitric oxide (NO) production assessment, and cytokine assay (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-β) in the splenocyte supernatant were all used to evaluate the impact of MSCs loaded with CVA21.
    Results: The results of this study showed that the treatment of a mouse model of colorectal cancer with MSCs loaded with oncolytic CVA21 could significantly suppress the tumor growth, which was accompanied by stimulation of splenocytes proliferation index, an increase of NO and LDH. Also, MSCs loaded with oncolytic CVA21 increased the secretion of IFN-γ and decreased the secretion of IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-β.
    Conclusion: The results of the current study suggest that MSCs loaded with oncolytic CVA21 therapy for the CRC mouse model may have some potential advantages. On the other hand, the results of the study showed that, in addition to activating the acquired immune system, the use of MSCs loaded with oncolytic CVA21 also stimulates the innate immune system by increasing levels of nitric oxide.

    Abstract Metronidazole (MTZ) can decrease the levels of several cytokines. This research aimed at the investigation of the anti-inflammatory impact of MTZ in COVID-19. A randomized, single-blind clinical trial for comparing the anti-inflammatory effect of MTZ in two eligible groups of adult patients with lower respiratory tract involvement due to Covid-19 treated with a standard national method with or without MTZ was performed. Inflammatory markers were measured as the primary outcome in two groups. Oxygen saturation, length of hospital stays, and mortality of patients were evaluated as secondary outcomes. Among 44 patients with lower respiratory tract due to Covid-19, 20(45.5%) were randomly allocated in group A with the current standard treatment plus the MTZ tablet for 7 days orally and 24 (54.5%) in group B with the current standard treatment.

    Abstract Introduction: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary kidney disease that can affect several organs. The clinical course of the disease varies among patients; some never become symptomatic, and others reach end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the 5th decade of their life.
    Methods: This historical cohort study was conducted on ADPKD patients to investigate kidney and patient survival rates and related risk factors in Iran. Survival analysis and risk ratio calculation were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model, Kaplan- Meier method, and log-rank test.
    Results: Among the 145 participants, 67 developed ESKD, and 20 died before the end of the study period. Developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) at the age of ≤ 40, baseline serum creatinine level (SCr) of more than 1.5 mg/dL, and cardiovascular disease increased the risk of ESKD by 4, 1.8, and 2.4 times; respectively. Patient survival analysis revealed a fourfold increase in mortality if the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declined more than 5 cc/min annually and if CKD was diagnosed at the age of ≤ 40. Vascular thrombotic events or ESKD in the course of disease increased the risk of death by approximately 6- and 7-fold, respectively. Kidney survival was 48% by the age of 60 and 28% by the age of 70. Patient survival was 86.05% at the age of 60 and 67.99% at the age of 70. Additionally, men had a significantly better renal function and survival than women.
    Conclusion: Elevated baseline SCr and cardiovascular disease can increase ESKD risk in ADPKD patients. A rapid decline in GFR, ESKD development, and vascular thrombotic events increase the risk of death, but early CKD can affect both.  DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7551.

    Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a causative agent of cervical cancer among women worldwide. Serological and molecular tests are commonly used to detect and identify HPV, but all the detection methods for HPV have some limitations. Nowadays, considerable advancements in nanosensors have enabled monitoring of hybridization procedures dynamically for HPV detection. Biosensors, as effective, quick, economical, and highly sensitive tools, can be used in the diagnosis of HPV as an alternative technique instead of other detection methods. Biosensor detection methods of HPV in use from 2000 to 2021 were investigated using several databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and the Scientific Information Database. Furthermore, a manual search of the references of the retrieved articles was performed. On analyzing the most recently developed biosensors for HPV identification, we observed that three biosensor systems, electrochemical, optical, and piezoelectric systems, are the main transducers used in the development of HPV biosensors. The aim of this review is to examine recent research on biosensors for the detection of HPV and perform a comparison with other diagnostic methods. Considering the importance of rapid HPV detection in the control of infection and development of public health measures, improvement of biosensors as an economical and quick method can be very useful in the diagnosis of HPV.

    Abstract An imbalance between regulatory T (Treg) and T-helper (Th)-17 cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert immunomodulatory properties through secreting exosomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) on the differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into  Tregs from patients with COVID-19. Exosomes were isolated from adipose tissue-derived MSCs. PBMCs were separated from the whole blood of COVID-19 patients (n=20). Treg frequency was assessed before and 48 hours after treatment of PBMCs with MSC-Exo using flow cytometry. Expression of FOXP3 and cytokine genes, and the concentration of cytokines associated with Tregs, were assessed before and after treatment with MSC-Exo. The frequency of CD4+CD25+CD127-  Tregs was significantly higher after treating PBMCs with MSC-Exo (6.695±2.528) compared to before treatment (4.981±2.068). The expressions of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, interleukin (IL)-10, and FOXP3 were significantly upregulated in MSC-Exo-treated PBMCs. The concentration of IL-10 increased significantly after treatment (994.7±543.9 pg/mL) of PBMCs with MSC-Exo compared with before treatment (563.5±408.6 pg/mL). The concentration of TGF-β was significantly higher in the supernatant of PBMCs after treatment with MSC-Exo (477.0±391.1 pg/mL) than PBMCs before treatment (257.7±226.3 pg/mL). MSC-Exo has the potential to raise anti-inflammatory responses by induction of  Tregs, potentiating its therapeutic effects in COVID-19.
