    Abstract Breast cancer is the second cause of death in the world. Ionising radiation is a potent mutagen that can cause DNA damage, chromosomes breakage, and cell death. In the present study, radiotherapy and nanoparticle-antibodies (ABs) have been combined to enhance the efficacy of cancer cell treatment. Silver nanoparticles (SNP) were synthesised, coated with anti-HER2, and then characterised with different techniques such as X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. SKBR3 cells were irradiated with cobalt-60 in the presence of nanoparticle-AB as the drug. Cell viability was measured using the diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, and the cellular status was assessed by Raman spectroscopy. Irradiation considerably decreased cell viability proportionate to the dose increase and post-irradiation time. The surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy increased the signal in the presence of SNP. Increasing the dose to 2 Gy increased the irradiation resistance, and higher dose increases (4 and 6 Gy) enhanced the irradiation sensitivity. Moreover, the cellular changes induced by irradiation in the presence of the drug were stable after 48 h. The authors results introduced the combination of the drug with radiation as an effective treatment for cancer and Raman spectroscopy as a suitable tool to diagnose effective irradiation doses.

    Abstract Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart diseases (CHD) in children. Various surgical procedures including palliative shunts and TOF total correction (TFTC) were done with some complications, of which, the most common is pulmonary valve regurgitation (PR). Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor which reduces pulmonary vascular resistance, and improves right ventricular function and vascular endothelium, and may have some beneficial effects after TFTC.
    Methods: We studied 18 patients with TOF and PR, with some impaired right ventricular function after TFTC. Tadalafil tablets at a dose of 1 mg per kg (maximum 40 mg) per day as a single dose was administered orally for 8 weeks. In all patients, before and after taking tadalafil, functional class assessment, electrocardiography (ECG) changes, some echocardiographic and endothelial function parameters [flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid artery], and exercise test were determined.
    Results: The patient's mean age was 10.11 ± 4.03 years, and the mean age of operation was 2.52 ± 1.12 years. The effect of tadalafil on different echocardiographic parameters and also on tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) and PR severity and gradient was not significant. Moreover, it had no effects on QRS duration. Tadalafil had a significant effect on improving FMD and exercise test (P = 0.01). The effect of tadalafil on echocardiographic parameters, carotid artery IMT, and ECG parameters was not significant (P > 0.05). Tadalafil was tolerated well, and the most common side effects were headache and myalgia.
    Conclusion: This study showed that tadalafil is a safe and well-tolerated drug. It might improve exercise performance, endothelial function, and functional class, and possibly could allow patients a longer period of well-being and could possibly delay the need for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR).

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the combination effect of resveratrol and methoxyamine on radiosensitivity of iododeoxyuridine in spheroid culture of U87MG glioblastoma cell line using colony formation and alkaline comet assays. Spheroids on day-20 with 350 µm diameters were treated with 20 µM resveratrol and/or 6 mM methoxyamine and/or 1 µM iododeoxyuridine for one volume doubling time (67 h), and then irradiated with 2 Gy gamma-radiation ((60)Co) in different groups. After treatment, viability of the cells, colony forming ability and DNA damages were obtained by blue dye exclusion, colony formation and alkaline comet assay, respectively. Our results showed that methoxyamine and resveratrol could significantly reduce colony number and induce the DNA damages of glioblastoma spheroid cells treated with iododeoxyuridine in combination with gamma-rays. Therefore, methoxyamine as base excision repair inhibitor and resveratrol as hypoxia inducible factor 1-alpha inhibitor in combination with iododeoxyuridine as radiosensitizer enhanced the radiosensitization of glioblastoma spheroid cells.

    Abstract Introduction: Operating rooms in hospitals are facilitated with different types of electronic systems, which produce electromagnetic waves. High intensities of magnetic waves may have harmful effects on biological environments. This study aims to evaluate the electromagnetic field intensity at different parts of operating rooms at the first stage and estimate the occupational exposure to operating room personnel at the next phase.
    Materials and methods: At this cross-sectional study, the magnetic field intensity was evaluated using teslameter at several parts of operating rooms, during operating procedures, while electrical instruments were working. Background electromagnetic field intensity was measured when all the electrical systems were idle. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. The results were compared with ICNIRP standards.
    Results: The maximum intensity of magnetic field was measured around high-voltage systems at the distance of 50 cm in the personnel's standing area at DCR and PCNL operating procedures were 5.9 and 5.6, respectively. The number of on-mode electrical systems was inconsistent with the intensity of electromagnetic fields at the standing area of operating room personnel's. The intensity of magnetic fields around high-voltage systems, which was about 46.75 mG at the distance of 10 cm, was the highest among measured electromagnetic fields.
    Conclusions: The highest magnetic field intensity measured in this study was related to high-voltage systems and is lower than advised intensity by ICNIRP for occupational exposure. Based on this study, it can be concluded that there are no considerable risks of electromagnetic exposure for operating room personnels.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of whole-body vibration and ambient lighting, as well as their combined effect on human discomfort, heart rate, and reaction time in laboratory conditions.
    Methods: 44 men were recruited with an average age of 25.4 ± 1.9 years. Each participant was subjected to 12 experimental steps, each step lasting five minutes for four different vibration accelerations in X, Y, and Z axes at a fixed frequency; three different lighting intensities of 50, 500, and 1000 lx were also considered. At each step, a visual computerized reaction test was taken from subjects and their heart rate recorded by pulse oximeter. In addition, the discomfort rate of subjects was measured using Borg scale.
    Results: Increasing vibration acceleration significantly increased the discomfort rate and heart beat but not the reaction time. Lack of lighting caused more discomfort in the subjects, but there was no significant correlation between lighting intensity with heart rate and reaction time. The results also showed that the combined effect of vibration and lighting had no significant effect on any of the discomfort, heart rate, and reaction time variables.
    Conclusions: Whole-body vibration is an important factor in the development of human subjective and physiological reactions compared to lighting. Therefore, consideration of the level of vibration to which an individual is exposed in workplaces subject to vibration plays an important role in reducing the level of human discomfort, but its interaction with ambient lighting does not have a significant effect on human subjective and physiological responses.
