Introduction and Objectives: Hypericum perforatum is a sprawling, leafy herb that grows in open, disturbed areas throughout much of the world’s temperate regions, such as Iran, and is used in folk medicine to treat a variety of internal and external ailments. The present study was set out to investigate the effects of Ethanol Extract of Hypericum perforatumon the experimentally induced Candidial keratitis in rabbits. Materials and Methods: The alcoholic extract of H. perforatum was prepared by 80% ethyl alcohol. After suppressing the immune system of 24 male rabbits, experimental Candida albicans keratitis was induced in the animals under local anesthesia and sterile conditions. The animals were later divided into four groups including the control or glycerin group and a nystatin and two 250 and 500μg/ml Ethanol Extract of H. perforatumgroups. Treatment continued for 21 days and after sacrificing the animals by humane methods, histopathological samples of the rabbits‟ eyes were prepared. Results: Keratitis was developed in the eyes of all rabbits a week after the yeast inoculation. In the control group in which animals received glycerin, keratitis persisted until day 21. Clinical signs of keratitis disappeared in the Nystatin and 500μg/ml Ethanol Extract of H. perforatumgroups after 14 and 21 days, respectively. The clinical signs of keratitis partially ameliorated in the animals receiving 250μg/ml Ethanol Extract of H. perforatum. Histopathological examination revealed no differences between groups receiving nystatin or 500μg/ml Ethanol Extract of H.perforatum. Conclusion: It is concluded that, H. perforatum essential oils could completely treat Candida albicans keratitis in 500 μg/ml concentrations. This extract can be used as a safe antifungal agent against Candida albicans and it is a good substitute for synthetic antifungal agents like nystatin. Keywords: Candida albicans, H. perforatum essential oils, keratitis, nystatin, rabbit.

Introduction and Objectives: Human Brucellosis is considered as one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases caused by Gram negative facultative intracellular coccobacilli of the genus Brucella. IL-127 is a pleothropic cytokine that recently is shown to play an important role in the development of innate and adaptive immunity. Considering the important role of IL-27 in the defense against Brucella, the aim of this study was to investigate the associations between the single nucleotide polymorphism of IL-27 gene variant and susceptibility/resistance to brucellosis. Materials and Methods: The study groups included 196 persons suffering from Brucella infection and the control group consisted of 82 healthy animal husbandmen from the same geographical area as the patients. IL-27 at positions (-964 A/G, 2905 T/G, 4730 T/C) were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction- restricted fragment length polymorphism. Results: The results showed that the frequency of TG genotype at position 2905 was significantly higher in controls compared with patients (p=0.0002) and the frequency of CCgenotype at position 4730 was significantly higher in patients compared with controls. Data showed that the distribution of double haplotypes ATT/AGT, GTC/GGT and ATT/GTT (positions 964, 2905 and 4730) were significantly higher in the control compared with that in the patients (P=0.00003). Conclusion: Based on the present finding, this study suggests that the heritage of TG genotype at position 2905 and CC genotype position 4730 may be considered as a genetic factor for resistance and susceptibility to brucellosis, respectively.

Introduction and Objectives: Infections by Helicobacter can cause the stimulation of sophisticated immune response in mucosal immunity. Among different lymphocytes, Th17 plays an important role in defense against H.pylori and causes inflammatory response. H.pylori may cause gastritis and peptic ulcer because of increased activation of Th17 and changes of cytokines such as IL-17A, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23 and TGF-β. To find the relationship between Th17 and IL-17A, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, TGF-β in the patients suffering from H.pylori infection with signs including gastritis, and peptic ulcer. Materials and Methods: Totally, 36 samples from patients with gastrointestinal problems were collected.The percentage of Th17 was measured by flowcytometr. Also, the levels of IL-17A, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, and TGF-β were measured by ELISA. Results: Patients were divided into three group’s Peptic ulcer, gastritis, and normalwith the age range of 17 -84 years. The percentage of Th17 in the patients with peptic ulcer and gastritis was significantlymore than the normal counterparts (p≤0.001). The serum levels of IL-17A andIL-23 in peptic ulcer and gastritis groups were significantlyhigher compared to the levels in the normal population (p=0.02) (p=0.04). Changes in levels of IL-21 and IL-22 in peptic ulcer and gastritis groups were low.TGF-β levels in peptic ulcer, and gastritis groups were found to be significantly higher than that in normal population (p≤0.01). Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, we can conclude that Th17 and the associated cytokines such as IL-21, IL-23, IL-22, IL-17A and TGF- β can play a critical role in peptic ulcer and gastritis in the individuals infected with H. pylori.

Introduction and Objectives: Influenza is a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world and influenza virus remains a constant public health threat. Hemagglutinin (HA) is one of the surface antigens of the virus, responsible for virus binding to host cell and therefore has been the primary target of neutralizing antibodies. An antibody in scFv (single chain fragment variable) format consists of variable regions of heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains, which are joined together by a flexible peptide linker and can be easily expressed in functional form in E.cloi. Single chain antibodies due to their small size and high affinity properties have several advantages in clinical practices. In this study we intended to select specific scFvs against influenza virus (H1N1) for their clinical applications. Materials and Methods: A conserved sequence of HA was used as an epitome and a phage antibody display library of scFv was applied for isolation of specific scFvs against the epitome.PANNING PROCEDURE WAS USED TO SELECT T he phage particles bearing antiepitome scoff. In this procedure a Nun immunotube was coated with the epitope and phage rescue supernatant was added. The elusion was performed with Ecoli TG1 and specific clones were selected after four rounds of panning. 20 clones were randomly selected to confirm the presence of VH-VL inserts by PCR. DNA fingerprinting was done to determine the homogeneity of isolated clones and to select specific clones against the peptide. Results: Two specific scFvs with frequencies 55% and 25% were selected against the conserved sequence of HA. Conclusion: During annual influenza epidemics, 5–15% of the worldwide population is typically infected, resulting in 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and between 250,000 to 500,000 deaths per year. Therefore, a new prophylaxy and treatment strategy is needed. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies have shown to be promising agents but because of HAMA reaction, these antibodies could not be efficient in clinic. In the current study a successful panning process was performed and two specific scFvs with frequencies 55% and 25% were selected. The neutralizing effect of these antibodies is under investigation. The anti-HA neutralizing scFvs could be used for treatment or prevention of influenza in high risk patients.

Introduction and Objectives: Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)is associated with variable gastero intestinal (GI)clinical outcomes such as atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastritic cancer.IL-22 is produced by several cells of innate immunity such as DCs, NK cells and γδT cells. IL-22 in corporation with IFN-γ induces the expression of iNOS and subsequently nitric oxide (NO) production and NO acts as an antimicrobial agent. Based on the important roles of IL-22 in immunity against Helicobacter pylori, the aim of this study was to investigate the probable relationship between IL-22 gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility/resistance to H.pylori related gastero intestinal diseases. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and thirteen H.pylori infected patients and two hundred and fifteen healthy populations were included in this study. Polymorphisms at four position of IL-22 gene (rs2227501, rs2227503, rs1026786, rs2227513) were genotyped by polymerase chain reactionrestricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results: The results showed that the frequencies of AA and AG genotypes and A allele at position rs2227513 were higher in the control than that in the gastritis patients (p=0.006 and p=0.020, respectively), also the frequencies of AT and TT genotypes and A allele at position rs2227501 were higher in control than in h.pylori patients (p=0.005 and p=0.005, respectively). Conclusion: In conclusion, our study suggested that inheritance of some genotypes and alleles can be considered as a genetic factor for resistance to h.pylori GI diseases.

Introduction and Objectives: Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen presenting cells (APCs) with a vital role inimmune-responses.DCs activity is dependent on the expression of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and co-stimulatory molecules, including CD40 and CD86. Gamma-interferon (IFN-γ) is a crucial cytokine in modulation of immune system. Adenoviral vectors (AdVs) can efficiently be used in gene targeting for treatment of cancers and infectious diseases. Materials and Methods: Here, we explored the effects of induction of IFN-γ production byAdVs on DC activation. AdVswere propagated in Human Embryonic Kidney 293 (HEK293) celllinesand DCs were derived from mouse bone marrow using GM-CSF- and IL-4-enriched media. The DCs were infectedbyeither AdVs-green fluorescent protein (GFP) or AdVs-IFN-γ during a 48hr.culture. Phenotypic and functional characteristics of AdV-infected DCs were analyzed by flowcytometry assay. Results: Our results showed that AdVs-IFN-γcould significantlyinduce DCs maturation.Furthermore AdVs-IFN-γ-infected DCs were shown to be efficient inducers of T cell proliferation in allogenic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Conclusion: Thus, AdVs-IFN-γ can be considered as a potential immune stimulator to be utilized in immuno therapy of cancers and infectious diseases.

O-8 Homology Modeling and Epitope Mapping of the Neuraminidase Molecule of a Newly Emerged H7N9 Influenza Virus Using In Silico Methods PoorinMohammad N1, Ghaedizadeh Sh2, Mohabatkar H1 1

Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Advanced Sciences and Technologies, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran 2 Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran Introduction and objectives: The last two decades have witnessed many emerging viral infections. Undoubtedly, vaccination is the most effective medical tool to prevent and control these infections. However, the time-consuming and expensive assays, together with the heavy workload of vaccine design, make the process too uphill to be handled experimentally. Influenza viruses are of those viruses causing much concern among health care authorities which necessitates immediate contrivances. In silico techniques can help efficiently as an accelerant strategy to speed up the vaccine design process. Materials and Methods: Implementing special algorithms, HLA-A2 restricted Cytotoxic Tlymphocyte (CTL) epitopes were predicted. Using docking techniques, the most potent peptidic epitopes were selected on the basis of their interaction with HLA-A2 and T-cell receptor (TCR) molecules. It was assured that the 3D structure of the molecule is not yet available. Therefore, homology modeling of the protein was performed using two computational servers. After assessing the quality of generated models, the best protein model was chosen to operate the antibody epitope mapping. Results: There were 14 peptidic epitopes among of which 4were shown to have highly certifiable binding properties with HLA-A2 and TCR molecules. Furthermore, 79 residues were predicted as conformational epitopes and can be further examined experimentally to find if they can elicit neutralizing antibody response. Conclusion: Thanks to bioinformatics, the need for examining all possible epitopes will be nullified. The results proposed by this study can be beneficial in accelerating the vaccine design process.

O-9 A rapid nested PCR and fragment length polymorphism technique for differentiation of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Leptospira spp. in the condemned kidneys in Shiraz abattoir, South of Iran Taghadosi V, Hosseinzadeh S, Shekarforoush SS Department of Food Hygiene and Public Health, School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. Introduction and Objectives: Leptospira, a spirochaete of public health concern because it causes zoonotic disease. The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of Leptospira spp in Shiraz, Fars province using conventional PCR and nested PCR-RFLP assays. Materials and Methods: 71 condemned kidneys out of 450 total slaughter cattle were collected between Januarys to August 2012. The collected samples were divided into two groups; in which, 55% were belonged to white spotted kidneys and 45% were corresponded to other grossed lesions kidneys. Results: Using the nested PCR-RFLP, 21/39 (53.8 %) and 9/39 (23.07%) were respectively belong to the pathogenic and non-pathogenic species in the white spotted kidneys, whereas, 8/32 (25%) pathogenic and 5/32 (15.6%) non-pathogenic species were corresponded to other gross lesions. The nested PCR RFLP assay was also confirmed the presence of the infection caused by pathogenic strains in 2/10 (20%) of normal kidneys. The conventional PCR assay was also confirmed 11 (15.5%) out of 71 samples infected with pathogenic Leptospira. Conclusion: Our results indicate that the nested PCR-RFLP was more sensitive and therefore is an appropriate technique to confirm leptospirosis. Besides, our work was indicated that other grossed lesions rather than white spotted and also normal kidneys may play a role in transmitting the pathogenic species of Leptospira and thus increase the risk of zoonotic infection.

Histomorphometry and Stereology Research Centre, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Introduction and Objectives: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis is a self-limiting disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus leishmania which affects the skin wounds. Taurine (2aminoethan sulphonic acid; Tu) is the most abundant amino acids which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that play important roles in the process of wound healing. In this study, we investigated the effects of Tu on cutaneous leishmaniasis skin wounds and L.major promastigotes by using stereological techniques and flowcytometry. Materials and Methods: In total, 18 mice were induced with leishmaniasis wounds (with L. Major) on the base of their tails and divided into 3 groups, T1: treated with Tu injection, T2: treated with Tu gel C: no treatment. Treatments were carried out every 24 hours for 21 days. The volume densities of the collagen bundles and vessels, vessel‟s length density and diameter, and fibroblast populations were estimated by stereological methods. Flowcytometry was used in order to investigate direct Tu effect on the parasites. Results: According to stereological analysis, numerical density of fibroblast, volume density of collagen bundles, length densities of the vessels in groups T1 and T2 were significantly higher than that in group C. Fibroblast numerical density of group T1 was significantly higher than that in group T2. By the way, Tu had no direct effect on L. major parasites according to flowcytometry analysis. Conclusion: According to this study Tu showed the ability to improve the wound healing process and tissue regeneration although it had no direct anti-leishmaniasis effect.

Introduction and Objectives: The common method for detecting malaria parasite is visual inspection through a microscope. However, this method has some disadvantages: (i) it is time consuming; (ii) it requires a level of expertise. Therefore, automatic detection of this disease is very important in its prompt diagnosis and treatment, especially in the areas with insufficient expert microscopists. In this research, the images of different elements in blood are classified into two parasite and non-parasite categories by classifiers using some appropriate discriminant features. Materials and Methods: In total,400 images of blood slide infected with malaria parasites have been used in this research. Feature extraction and classification algorithms were implemented using MATLAB software. At first, red blood cells and other stained elements of blood such as parasites, white blood cells, and platelets were extracted; then, red blood cell mask was located on the stained elements to eliminate non-red cell elements. Finally, colour histogram, granulometry, gradient and flat texture features were extracted and used as classifier inputs. Here, four classifiers were used:Decision Tree, KNN, 1-NN, and QD. Results: Using the same masking and feature, KNN classifier showed the best accuracy with 91% rate of success among the above classifiers; the accuracies of other classifiers were 87%, 86%, and 88.5% for Decision Tree, QD, 1-NN, respectively. Conclusion: Proposed approach is a major step in development of software for automatic diagnosing of malaria parasites. Among the mentioned classifiers, the best performance belongs to the KNN classifier and the lowest performance is for the QD classifier.

Molecular Systematic Laboratory, Parasitology Department, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran 2

Molecular Systematic Laboratory, Parasitology Department, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran Introduction and objectives: To assess molecular characterization, distribution, seasonal activities of sandfly species and Leishmania parasites infecting them for this Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis focus. Materials and Methods: The collections were carried out in 2009-2011using CDC traps, Sticky Papers and manual aspirator in and around the villages in Abarkouh district. Individual sandflies were characterized by PCR amplification and sequencing of fragments of their mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Leishmania parasite infections within sandflies were performed by targeting Cyt b, ITS-rDNA, k-DNA and microsatellite genes. Results: The PCR assays detected only Leishmania major (L. major). All infections (30) were found in the abundant and widespread vector Phlebotomuspapatasi (P. papatasi). Small numbers of other sandfly species were also screened for infections, but none was found. Sergentomyiasintoni and P. papatasi were the predominant members in all locations of this district and in all habitats throughout the trapping season. Only five other sandfly species were found, namely Phlebotomusansari, Phlebotomuscaucasicus, Phlebotomussergenti, SergentomyiadentataandSergentomyiamerviney. Conclusions: In the current survey, the only infections detected are of L. major in females of P. papatasi (30out of 190). The rates of infection of P. papatasi by L. major are not significantly different in comparison with other locations in Iran with no diversity of parasite strains. Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis may have emerged only recently in Abarkouh district, and the reason may well be the instability of the transmission cycles there.

Parasitology and Mycology, School of Medicine, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Introduction and objectives: For immunodiagnosis of human hydatidosis, the majority of methods have focused on antigens originating from metacestode stage. So, there is little information about diagnosis methods based on worm products. In this regards we evaluated and compared hydatid cyst fluid (HCF) and adult worm E. granulosus somatic antigens from culture media and dog intestine for diagnosis of human hydatidosis using western blotting. Materials and Methods: The somatic antigens were prepared from reared worms. More over a number of E. granulosus originating from experimentally infected dog intestine, utilized to produce somatic antigens. Both mentioned somatic antigens and hydatid cyst fluid were evaluated and compared using western blotting. In this regard, a total of 44, 31 and 30 sera samples from patient suffering from confirmed hydatidosis, other diseases and healthy controls were used, respectively. Results: Results of western blot showed that 22kDa subunits derived from cultivated adult worm antigens and 8, 16, 22 and 23 kDa subunits of HCF have the best sensitivity (81.8%) and specificity (96.7%), respectively. Agreement between results of two types mentioned subunits was 79%. Conclusion: Based on our findings, it can be concluded that adult worm antigens especially cultivated worm antigens that they are not infective to researchers have acceptable sensitivity and with the other antigens might be suitable candidate for diagnosis of human hydatidosis.

Department of Infectious Diseases, School of medicine , Hamedan University of Medical Sciences , Hamedan , Iran Introduction and objectives: The increasing incidence of pertussis among adolescents and adults in recent years is an alarming factor in transmission of the infection to non-immune infants and children. Vaccination of pregnant women immediately after delivery and before discharging from the hospital may help to protect mothers and their newborns against the disease. Decision making process regarding maternal immunization requires credible information and knowledge about seroepidemiology of the infection in pregnant women. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis antibody among admitted pregnant women in Hamedan, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 288 pregnant women who were admitted to the Fatemiyeh hospital were entered into this study. After obtaining consent from every patient, serum samples were taken from patients and were frozen until testing. Serum level of B. pertussis antibody was measured using ELISA. Level of antibody higher than 24U/ml was considered to be positive. Obtained data was analyzed using the statistical software SPSS. Results: From 288 pregnant women, 126 of them (8/43%) were in the second trimester. Serological results in 103 patients (8/35%) were positive. The mean age of mothers with positive serology was 27.5±6 years old. Thirty-five percent of patients had a valid immunization record, and 1/57% of those with no vaccination record had a positive serology. Conclusion: The level of immunity against B. pertussis in pregnant women is low. Immunization before or during pregnancy can stimulate newborn‟s immune response and gives them required protection against pertussis infection.

During the past decades, morbidity and mortality of bacterial peritonitis have been reported from many countries. Conventional antibiotic regimens are not completely effective regarding epidemiology of drug resistant bacterial strains. Concerning these facts, tracing for new antibiotics with no fear to antibiotic resistance has been considered. Natural peptides purified from plants, vertebrates, insects, and venomous animals are good candidates. In this study melittin, a peptide from honeybee venom, selected for in vivo study of antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in a mouse model. Materials and Methods: Melittin isolated from Iranian honeybee, using Reverse Phase-HPLC. In vitro bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity examined with micro-broth dilution assay and colony count. Toxicity of melittin evaluated in mouse peritoneum cavity before in vivo assay. In vivo bactericidal activity performed in peritoneal cavity of a mouse model, BL6/C57, for each bacterium in a time manner. Results: Honey bee venom is composed of twenty distinct fraction in which melittin was the major one. The growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonasaeruginosa were inhibited at 0.39, 6.25, 12.5 µg and killed at 1.56, 25, and >50 µg respectively. No toxicity was observed in abdomen cavity. The number of bacteria in test group was significantly reduced, compared to that in control group. Conclusion: Melittin specifically invade the bacteria and had significant bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect on bacterial agents of bacterial peritonitis. The results demonstrated that melittin was not toxic in abdomen cavity. According to the obtained results, melittin could hopefully be used as antibiotic for treatment of bacterial peritonitis.

Egg-white proteins exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biological activities. Many egg-white proteins possess specific properties that make these components potential ingredients of health-promoting foods. Increasing attention is being focused on physiologically active peptides derived from egg-white proteins. These peptides are hidden or inactive within the sequence of the parent protein molecule and can be liberated by special enzymatic systems. Depending on the amino acid sequence, these peptides may exert a number of different activities in vivo, including opiate-like, mineral binding, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antithrombotic, hypocholesterolemic and antihypertensive actions. Milk and dairy products, eggwhite, meat, legumes and soybean are rich sources of bioactive peptides. The aim of this study was to produce bioactive peptides from egg-white proteins using trypsin and ficin and to isolate and determine their antimicrobial property. The egg-white proteins were hydrolyzed by trypsin (0.1 mg/ml) and ficin (8 and10 mg/ml) and the hydrolysates were subjected to gel-filtration and ion- exchange chromatography to separate the peptides produced. The bioactive properties of the fractionated peptide were determined. Most of the ficin- and trypsin-produced peptides of the egg-white, which were eluted at the final stage of gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography showed the highest antimicrobial properties against E. Coli and Bacillus Cerus. Taken together, these results suggest that protease-produced peptides from egg-white might substitute antimicrobial agents with chemical origin.

Kansaci, M. Chelonei, introduced as atypical mycobacterium (NTM)) in Shiraz TB reference laboratory, besides Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), these bacteria have been either cultured from respiratory and other secretions samples. Recently it has been proved that these groups of AFB are more important in immunocompromised patients. Newly role of these NTM is important in pulmonary and other organ failer diseases. In certain parts of the world, as much as 20% of newly diagnosed mycobacterial pulmonary disease, softtissue and disseminated disease is caused by these organisms. Differentiation of atypical Mycobacteria from MTBC is essential for appropriate treatment choice. Materials and Methods: In this study, biochemical tests included niacin and nitrate reduction was performed for positive culture samples after observing colonies growth rate and their ability in pigment producing. Colonies were negative for nitrate and niacin test were confirmed by non detection of IS6110 gen (specific gen for MTBC detection) by molecular methods. Results: Among 190 positive culture cases on Lowenstein-Jenson media, 14 cases were known as atypical Mycobacterium according to the faster growth rate and abilityof producing pigments. Among these 14 colonies, all were negative for IS6110 either which confirmed NTM pattern. Conclusions: In our study results, showed that 14 (7.3 %( of imunocompromised patients are infected with atypical mycobacteria. According to the importance of the NTM strains detection, highly recommended to stablish more tests for identification and differentiation of NTM strains.

Introduction and Objectives: Nosocomial infections are the major cause of morbidity and mortality. These infections usually occur after 3 days of hospitalization in patients whom the infection was not present or incubating at the time of admission.Urinary tract infection is by far the most common nosocomial infection due to using of bladder catheters. It is detected by positive urine culture with 105 bacteria per ml of urine. In this study, 703 inpatients and outpatients who were admitted to Shahid Faghihi Shiraz hospital were studied from 2012 to 2013. Materials and Methods: Clinical characteristics were extracted from hospital records. Urinary tract pathogens were isolated from urine samples of patients and diagnosed by conventional microbiology methods. Then the antibiotics sensitivity of bacteria was determined by disk diffusion agar technique. Finally, collected data and information were analyzed statistically by SPSS in terms of age, sex, location of infection, type of bacteria and drug sensitivity. Results: UTI incidence was 27.5% in the 50-70 age group and 26% in 20-40 age group. 55.6% of hospitalized patients and 44.4% of outpatients represented UTI prevalence. 65.9% of females and 34.1% of males were infected by UTI. E.coli in 72.8% of outpatients and Enterococcus in 26.3% of inpatients was isolated. Isolated E.coli was resistant approximately 99% to amoxicillin and tetracycline, whereas detected Enterococcus was resistant 100% to tetracycline and nalidixic acid. Conclusions: This study shows that urinary tract infections are sex dependent and are seen in females significantly more than in males. Likewise, UTI is more likely to be seen in the age of sexual activity and in late middle age with the onset of weakness in immune system. According to this study, E.coli is more common in outpatients; however Enterococcus is prevalent in hospitalized patients. E.coli becomes resistant to amoxicillin and tetracycline, whilst Enterococcus becomes resistant to tetracycline and nalidixic acid.

Introduction and Objectives: Wound infection is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections. Skin lesions are defined as tiny microscopic scratches to the widest abdominal and pelvic abscesses. Bacterial resistance in this type of infections can lead to lots of difficulties and impose financial burden to public health.This study has been done based on presenting current pattern of isolated bacteria and their drug resistant. Materials and Methods: Pathogens were isolated from 200 patients and diagnosed by conventional microbiology methods. Then the antibiotics sensitivity of bacteria was determined by disk diffusion agar technique. Finally, collected data and information were analyzed statistically by SPSS in terms of age, sex, site of infection, type of bacteria and antibiotic resistance. Results: In this study, the prevalence of males and females was 54.9% and 45.1% respectively. The highest incidence of wound infection was in 20-40 and 50-70 age groups. 89.4% of hospitalized patients and 10.6% of outpatients represented wound infection frequency. The most common microorganism was Staphylococcus aureus among both inpatients and outpatients. It is worth noting that S. aureus isolated from patients was resistant 100% to a wide range of antibiotics. Conclusions: In this research, wound infections are detected more in men compared to women, probably because of social activities. Moreover, these infections are prevalent in the age group who have considerable social activities and among people that their immune systems are gradually becoming weaker. Wound infections in hospitalized patients are higher than outpatients owing to high incidence of nosocomial infection associated with ulcers. The most common isolated pathogen is S.aureus with high drug resistance to the most of antibiotics.

Introduction and Objectives: Recombinant fusion proteins have become an important class of molecules in numerous fields of biotechnology including protein engineering and purification, drug targeting and delivery, and immunology . In this method two or more toxins or fragments of selected antigens could be fused and applied for immunization as multifunctional antigens with double antigenic capacity. Materials and methods : In this study , the antigenic regions of beta and epsilon toxins of Clostridium perfringens were identified by bioinformatics tools. The specific primers were designed for each fragment according to NCBI gene Bank. The PCR products ( antigenic fragments) were purified and inserted into cloning vector. The fragments were ligated together using a special linker (designed by bioinformatics tools), the fusion fragments were inserted into the vector. The recombinant vector was transformed into E.coli and the positive clones were selected using blue-white screening method. The Clones were confirmed by PCR and plasmid digestion. A positive clone was inoculated in LB medium and expression was induced using IPTG and Lactose. The presence of the recombinant fusion protein was evaluated by immunological methods. Results : The correct size of the fusion fragment ( 1290 bp ) was seen after PCR and enzymatic digestion, showing that the fusion and cloning of fragments were done successfully. The results of immunological tests showed that the recombinant fusion protein reacts with both normal anti toxins‟ antibodies. Conclusion: This type of fusion protein could be used as an antigen with double capacity and can elicit an immune response against both toxins. This technique also decreases cost of production and can be used to deal with health problems such as botulism , brucellosis, viral infections etc.

Introduction and Objectives: Patient‟s safety has emerged as an important health care issue because of the consequences of iatrogenic injuries especially in patient burn and neonatal intensive care unit. At present, aggressive antibiotic therapy is the only choice for management of infections; therefore, novel alternative methods such as antibody therapy for prevention are essential. In this study, we examined a method for producing recombinant protein with high antigenicity based on bioinformatics and molecular biology methods. Materials and methods: For this purpose, the antigenic regions with high antigenicity were analyzed by using appropriate bioinformatics algorithm and protein secondary structure. Primers were designed to amplify these regions. The amplified fragments were inserted into appropriate vector and transformed into E.coli. The Positive clones were selected by blue-white screening and were verified by PCR. The recombinant proteins were expressed by E. coli and their antigenic characteristics were evaluated by immunogenicity methods. This method was used for identification of antigenicity regions of Clostridium novyi alpha toxin. Results: According to the immunogenicity tests, the recombinant protein with the selected antigenic fragments showed more immunogenicity compared to natural whole protein. Conclusion: Combination of different methods can result in production of a good protein with low molecular weight and high antigenic properties. This method can be used for prevention of various pathogenic infections such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aereus, Escherichia coli, Actinobacter, Klebsiella pneumonia, Coagulase- negative staphylococci etc. instead of antibiotic therapy.

This disease is common in humans and beasts and is clinically divided into dermal, visceral and dermal-mucous categories. Dermal Leishmaniasis is a sanitary problem in the world, especially in tropical and semi-tropical countries .The wounds of produced by the disease is cured in a year but scars remain on body which causes a damage on face beauty ,feet and the other parts of the body which in fact makes some troubles for patients.The disease is also a sanitary problem in Iran and this study has been done to determine the status of epidemiological dermal Leishmaniasis in Shush. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study in which the researchers collected information on 361patients (200 males and 161 females) suffering fromCL during the years 2010 to 2012. The informationincluded: age, sex, number and place of scars,patient‟s residence and diagnosis date of the disease in each patient.Also,the data were analyzed by SPSS 18, software. Results: In this study, 200 subjects (54.6%) were male and 161 subjects (44%) werefemale. Also, 53%of the patients were in age group of 0-10 which had the high percentage in the study. In addition, 36% of Leishmaniasis scars were observed in hands; 22.1% in face and 16.9%in feet. It must be said that 42.1% of the patients suffer from 1 scar; 22.7% from 2 scars, 14.2% from 3 scars. The highest percentage of the disease were observed month DAY (19.9%) and Azar (18.8).Also, the highest rate of the disease were in the year 1389(49.7%), 1390 (27.3%) and 1389(21.6%) respectively. The abundance of the disease is 34.7% in city and 65.3 in villages. Asthe highest percentage of CL has seen in the age group of 0-10, it can be concluded that Sush is an endemic focus of CL in the south west of Iran. Conclusion: In spite of making progress in the level of science, technology and hygiene, the abundance of CutaneousLeishmaniasis has been increased in Shush. Because of high level of Leishmaniasis cases in the villages, health care systems must be improved and increased in these regions. Also,the number of health care centers must be increased in this regard.

Introduction and objectives: Visceral leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in many parts of Iran and infected dogs constitute the main domestic reservoirs that play a key role in transmission to humans. The objective of this study was to assess the seroprevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) by enzyme linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA) in southeast region of Iran. Materials and Methods: This survey was carried out from 2009 to 2011 in Kerman, Bam and Baft districts in Kerman province and Zabol in Sistan - Baluchestan province. Blood samples were taken from 201 dogs after complete clinical examination. Following hematological evaluation; collected sera were tested by indirect ELISA method for the presence of anti Leishmania infantum antibodies. Results: Overall, seroprevalence was 15.4%, including 6.4%, 3.5%, 3% and 2.4% in Bam, Zabol, Baft and Kerman, respectively. However, seroprevalence of disease was not significantly related to age, gender, presence of clinical signs and hematological disorders. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, CVL is endemic in southeastern Iran. Delayed diagnosis and euthanasia of potentially infectious animals may occur with an increased transmission risk to sand flies and subsequently to humans. Implementation of potent screening tests with high validity is essential for rapid detection and successful dog elimination programs in endemic parts of Iran.

Introduction and objectives: Nowadays, bacteria‟s resistance especially E.coli against existing drugs has been increasing. One of the ways in which bacteria including E.coli acquire resistant against beta-lactams such as carbapanems, is through producing beta-lactamases. Some examples of these enzymes are MBL, AmpC and KPC. Contamination with these bacteria increases the therapeutic costs and mortality. Since prescribing Carbapanem is the last chance for curing, so, it is critical to identify and screen them. Therefore, the aim of this study was phenotypic and molecular survey of carbapanem resistant among E.coli strains isolated from patients of IMAM KHOMAINI, SINA and MOTEHARI hospitals. Materials and Methods: 120 E.coli strains were collected from patients of mentioned hospitals during March 1390 to June 1392. All the strains were confirmed based on the standard methods of microbiology. Their sensitivity against common antibiotics was measured with disk diffusion and microdilution broth methods. The capability of MBL production was investigated with DDST .The AmpC evaluation was done by ceftazidim+clavulanic acid/bronic acid ( Rosco Company, Denmark) .The presence of KPC was surveyed by Modified Hodge Test methods, respectively. E.coli ATCC25922 was used as control, simultaneously .Also, the capability of IMP,KPC production were investigated with PCR method. Results: Only one resistance strain to carbapanems was obtained from 120 collected E.coli isolates. This strain is resistance to Meropenem and Ertapenem and intermediate to Imipenem. By microdilution broth method the MIC for Imipenem and Meropenem was 8,64 µg/ml respectively. Moreover, it was screened as MBL producer by using both Meropenem and Imipenem/ Imipenem EDTA after 5mm difference in resistant zone diameter .It was detected as AmpC negative after bronic acid screening .The KPC negative was identified after Hodge Test. The presence of KPC and IMP were negative after PCR method. Conclusions: Fortunately, the number of resistance strains to Carbapanems is so low (0.8%) in Tehran‟s hospitals. However, doing antibiogram test is suggested before any antibiotic prescription to prevent bacterial resistance. Keywords: E.Coli, PCR, IMP, KPC, AmpC, MBL

Introduction and Objectives: High levels of multidrug resistance are normally associated with mobile genetic elements that encode specific resistance genes. The integron is an important genetic element of antimicrobial drug resistant. Its gene sequences contribute to spreading antimicrobial resistance alleles by lateral gene transfer of gene cassettes. Materials and Methods: The antibiogram tests were done by antibiotic discs consist of Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Ceftriaxone, Clindamycin, Azithromycin, Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline, Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazol. All isolates were screened for detection of class 1&2 integrons by the universal primers. Result:As total 20 number of H. influenza20 isolates were resistant to Amoxicillin, Clindamycin, Chloramphenicol and Tetracycline, 9 isolates to Ciprofloxacin and Ceftriaxone and 2 isolates to Azithromycin. Also 20 isolates were sensitive to Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazol. In spite of the positive results of phenotypically, class 1&2 integrons were detected in no isolates. Conclusions: Sometimes gene cassettes don‟t express on integrons. Also some isolates that have resistance phenotype but they don‟t have its gene cassette on the integron. In these cases, other factors and genetic elements, except integrons, are responsible for antibiotic resistance. The results of the present study confirm this point.Pay attention to the past researches, there is high prevalence of class 1 integrons and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole resistance. In this study all of isolates were sensitive to Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazol. It can be a good reason for lack of class 1 integrons justification. Also, it can be a confirmer for geographical heterogeneity, because isolates of this study have been native and they have different genetic base.

Introduction and Objectives: Biofilm production ability has been recognized as a virulence factor in Staphylococci nosocomial infections. The present study aimed at the determination of the biofilmforming ability of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from clinical specimens and correlation between their isolation sources. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on a total of 134 MRSA isolates which were collected from patients hospitalized in two teaching hospitals (Namazi and Faghihi hospitals) in Shiraz during 2012-2013. Samples were processed and identified as MRSA isolates by using the standard microbiological procedures. Biofilm production characterized phenotypically by cultivation of the isolates on Congo red agar (CRA) plates. The biofilm-producer isolates appeared as black colonies, while the non- producing isolates remind red. Results: Of 134 MRSA isolates, biofilm production was observed in 47% (n=63) of them. Of 63 isolates 36 were strongly or moderately positive for biofilm formation and 27 isolates were weakly biofilm positive. Biofilm production was detected mostly among isolates of endotracheal tube (ETT) 100% (6/6), blood 58.8% (10/17), sputum 46.9% (23/49), urine 46.6% (7/15) and wound 37.5% (6/16) samples. Strong biofilm production was mostly prevalent in the isolates that were belonged to ETT (n=6), blood (n=4), wound (n=4) and urine (n=3) samples.

Discussion: The current study which used CRA as a simple and rapid method for the diagnosis of biofilm formation in S. aureus hospital isolates showed a remarkable rate of biofilm forming isolates. Biofilm formation may lead to the increased risk of nosocomial infections including endocarditis, meningitis, wound infections with the less sensitivity to antimicrobial agents.

Introduction and objectives: High-level resistance to ciprofloxacin among Enterococcus faecalis (E.f) isolates, makes difficulties for treatment of enterococcal infections. The targets of ciprofloxacin are DNA gyrase that includes GyrA and GyrB and topoisomerase IV that containsParC and ParEsubunits. Alterations in these subunits, lead to resistance. In this study, determination of gyrA, gyrB, parC and parEresistance genes among ciprofloxacin resistant E.f isolates from clinical specimens is performed. Materials and Methods: Among 384 clinical specimens, species of50isolates were determined by standard biochemical methods. Antibiotic susceptibility test with disk diffusion and MIC determination with microdilution method wereperformed and finally determination of resistance genes were done by PCR method. Results :All strains showed the high-level ranges of MICs from 16 to 512μg/ml .7,13,13,13,1,3 strains respectively had MICs of 16,32,64,128,256,512 μg/ml. All of the isolates continedparC, 98% gyrA and gyrB and 80% parE genes. With any MIC values, gyrA, gyrB and parC were found and in the case of parE, 80% have the gene and 20% were without gene that this difference in genotypes had no significant effect on MICs. Conclusion: Investigation of MICs and determination of resistance genes with PCRmethod, has a significant impact on control and treatment.Since almost all strains regardless of their MICs, have gyrA,gyrB, parC and difference in parE genotype, also had no significant effect on MICs,use of the genotyping method such as Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis is recommended.

MBL producing P.aeruginosa were detected by E.test (imipenem/imipenem+EDTA≥8µm confirmed MBL production) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers for blaIMP1, blaVIM1and blaNDM. All tests were performed according to CLSI protocols. Results: Out of the100 P.aeruginosa isolates, 61% were resistant to imipenem. Among 61 imipenem resistant P.aeruginosa strains, 31(50.8%) were found to be metallo-bata-lactamase producers by MBL Etest. PCR confirmed the occurrence of sixteen (51.6%) P.aeruginosa producing blaIMP1 gene. blaVIM1 and blaNDM producing strains were not seen in this study.Out of MBL producing P.aeruginosa, 38.7% were isolated from urine and 35.48% from burn unit. All MBL producing isolates were multi drug resistant. The MBL (+) P.aeruginosa strains were more resistant to SXT and ceftazidim (93.55%), cefepim (90.33%) and cefotaxim (80.65%). Conclusion: Our findings shows the high frequency of MBLs producing P.aeruginosa, so screening of imipenem resistant P.aeruginosa isolates for MBLs production is necessary to prevent further spread of infection by P.aeruginosa.

P-438 Association between mexB Gene and antibiotic resistance pattern in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Hekmat doost M, Salehi M Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Biological Science, North Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran Introduction and Objectives: Bacterial infections are one of the main causes of death, especially in developing countries. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is a serious problem in immunosuppressed patients and resistance to antimicrobial agents makes treatment more difficult; thus, fatality rates in these patients are high. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, seven RND type pumps have been described to date, although the major efflux determinant of intrinsic multidrug resistance and the best studied of these pumps in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is MexABO-prM. MexAB-OprM exports many clinically-relevant antimicrobials, including fluoroquinolones, β-lactams, tetracyclines, macrolides and other substrates, such as dyes, detergents, biocides, homoserine lactones and organic solvents. The development of methods for the early detection and quantification of drug transport across the bacterial cell wall is a tool essential to understand and overcome this type of drug resistance mechanism. Materials and Methods: In this study, 104 multidrug resistant (MDR) strains, from different clinical sources, were isolated and identified through 16S rRNA sequencing and biochemical testing; and achieved a resistance pattern in 12 antibiotic discs through disk diffusion method and in 4 antibiotic through microdilution broth method. Presence of mexB gene was investigated using Colony PCR method. MexAB-OprM protein was extracted and its expression investigated by SDS-PAGE. Results: The disk diffusion assay results were as the following: Ciprofloxain 68% ,Norfloxain 71%, Gentamicin 62%, Amikacin 54%, Tetracycline 66%, Imipenem 42%, Piperacillin 54%, Carbenicillin 73%, Ceftazidime 65%, Cefepim 94%, Ceftriaxone 76% and cephalothin 69%. The microdilution broth method showed the following: Ceftazidime 64%, Imipenem 32%, Ciprofloxacin 65%, and Gentamicin 57%. PCR products demonstrate the presence of mexB in 28 strains from 104 clinical isolates. SDS-PAGE revealed the expression of the MexAB-OprM in 82% (23/28). Results showed that, mexB positive strains were significantly higher in antibiotic resistant in comparison with mexB negative strains (p1 day in 96% for our center and 78% for European hospitals. Conclusion: In medical wards, the high percentage of antimicrobials use and combination therapy could be targets for quality improvement in our center. In surgical wards, potential targets identified for antimicrobial stewardship initiatives include high rate of combination therapy and prolonged duration of surgical prophylaxis in or center.

P-446 In silico selection of the best immunogenic region of Acineto bacter baumannii FepA as a vaccine candidate Bazmara H, Rasooli I Shahed University, Tehran-Iran Introduction and Objectives: Acineto bacter baumannii is a rapidly emerging nosocomial pathogen causing infections with high mortality rates due to inadequate available treatment and remarkable capacity to acquire antimicrobial resistance. Ferric siderophore complexes are produced by most bacteria to acquire iron, a vital element. These complexes are transported across the outer membrane by receptor proteins commonly known as FepA (ferric enterobactin protein).Antibiotics directed against these proteins associated with iron uptake exert a bacteriostatic or bactericidal effect against A.baumannii in vitro, by blocking sidrophore mediated iron uptake pathology.Identification and characterization of B-cell epitopes in target antigens is one of the key steps in epitope-driven vaccine design. Computational techniques offer a fast, scalable, and cost-effective approach for predicting B-cell epitopes. Attempt should be made to discover peptides that could mimic protein epitopes and possess the same immunogenicity as the whole protein. In the present study we exploited bioinformatic tools to select the appropriate region as effective B cell epitpes. Materials and Methods: In the present study, in silico study amino acid sequence of FepA protein was extracted from NCBI database. Three-dimensional structure was predicted by homology modeling and threading methods. In silico Linear and conformational epitopes for all proteins were determined via several software. Tope rated epitopes proposed with each software were determined. Results: The best immunogenic region of this protein include most number of epitopes with high scores of immunogenicity introduced with most of software was selected. Conclusion: The selected region that is consensus with various software as the best immunogenic region can be used as an epitope vaccine. This peptide can induce protective immunity in the host andit is not necessary to use whole protein as a vaccine. Keywords: Acineto bacter baumannii, FepA, B-cell epitopes, immunogenic region

Introduction and Objectives: Over the last three decades, monoclonal antibodies became powerful therapeutic and diagnostic tools. Fully human mAbs show minimum immunogenic reaction. Therefore, scientists have developed different techniques such as phage display to make mAbs. The first step for this is to construct antibody genes library, and the next step is screening antibody with high affinity to target antigen. The purpose of this study was to construct an Immune antibody library from a vaccinated donor against tetanus toxin. Materials and Methods: A whole blood was drawn from the donor who was vaccinated against tetanus toxoid. PBMC was isolated by using focal. After RNA extraction, two multiplex overlap extension RT-PCR reactions were performed to amplify VH and VL regions and linking them as a ScFv antibody. The amplicons were inserted in T-vector and transformed to E.coli DH5α strain. Recombinant Plasmids were extracted and sequenced. Results: A cDNA quality was confirmed using housekeeping RT-PCR by HPRT primers. In following, transformation was applied. Positive clones were selected based on growth on LB agar and the blue/white selection method. After plasmid extraction and DNA sequencing, the sequences were aligned using BLAST at NCBI. The results showed acceptable similarity among antibody gene library nucleotide sequences and the antibody genes were deposited in this database. Conclusion: In this study, the human antibody library was constructed and confirmed using DNA sequencing and alignment the sequences. The next step is screening the library to find an antibody specific for tetanus toxin. Keywords: phage display, antibody, tetanus toxin

The main aim of the present study was to develop a vaccination strategy based on recombinant flagellin type A (r-fla-A) against P. aeruginosa in the burn wound sepsis model. Materials and Methods: After preparation of type A r-flagellin, a specific polyclonal IgG was produced in rabbit. After immediate post-burn and post-challenge, mortality rate was screened in the mice treated with anti r-fla-A IgG, and inbred mice were also immunized with r-fla-A in separate groups. Finally, vaccinated mice were burned and challenged. The functional activity of anti r-flagellin antisera was determined by opsonophagocytic killing test. To evaluate the humeral immune response, sera were analyzed by ELISA for its total and IgG isotypes antibody. Results: In vivo administration of r-fla-A afforded a remarkable improvement in the survival of mice challenged with homologous strain (PAK) in the burn wound infection (83.3% vs. 0% in control).Antibodies generated against r-fla-A and anti r-fla-A IgG achieved 25% and 33.3% survival following challenge with heterologous strain (PAO1), respectively. The anti r-fla-A IgG provided a significant improvement in survival of mice infected by PAK strain from 16.6% to 75%.Anti r-flagellin antibody promoted phagocytosis of the homologous strain and decreased the killing of heterologous strain (53.1% and 17.4% respectively vs. 3.7% in the control group). Flagellin also induced a high level humoral immune response in the immunized mice via IgG1production. Conclusion: We concluded that immunization with r-fla-A and anti r-fla-A would protect burn edmice against lethal P. aeruginosa challenge.

The high-risk HPVs include HPV16, 18, 31, 45 and 58 which are of particular importance, since they have been highly associated with over 80% of all cervical cancers. HPV capsid proteins, including L1 and L2 proteins, were shown to generate neutralizing antibodies against HPV particles in immunized cases. In this study, using silico analysis we designed a universal vaccine for human papilloma viruses. Materials and Methods: At first, HPV protein sequences of high-risk serotypes (for L1 and L2) were obtained from NCBI databank. After alignment, different L1 and L2 sequences were tested by hybrid prediction method for epitopes that have immunogenicity for T cell and potency for attachment to HLA-A*02:01 (A2) and H2-Kd. Selected epitopes were attached to each other in different patterns and evaluated for best status of proteasome cleavage sites. Also, Codon optimization was done for compatibility of the designed vaccine with different expression systems. Results: Result of Hybrid method and also selection among 5 high risk serotype sequences that overlap between HLA-A*02:01 allele & H2-Kd ; HPV16 L1 28-37 (SLWLPSEATV) , L2 114123 (FIDAGAPTPV), HPV18 L1 44-53 (HYIILFLRNV), L2 225-234 (RLYSRAYQQV); HPV31 L1 390-398 (TYIHSMNPA), L2 221-230 (GLYSKATQQV); HPV45 L1 420-428 (YIHSMNSSI), L2 226-234 (LYSRANQQV); HPV 58 L1 28-37 (SVWRPSEATV) L2 325-334 (YQDLSPIQPV). At least 8 fusion peptides that had best patterns of proteasome cleavage sites in construct were chosen. Conclusion: It seems that designing of a rational universal vaccine that immunologically covers HPV16, 18, 31, 45 and 58 strains is feasible in order to develop a cervical cancer prophylactic universal vaccine.

Introduction and objectives: Cancer of the uterine cervix is an important cause of death in women worldwide. Methylation at position 5 of cytosine in DNA is an important event in epigenetic changes of cells, the methylation being linked to the control of gene functions. The DNA methylation can be analyzed by bisulfite genomic sequencing. DNA methylation contributes to the chromatin conformation that represses transcription of human papilloma virus type16 (HPV-16), which is prevalent in the etiology of cervical carcinoma. Because dysregulated genes frequently show abnormal patterns of DNA methylation, we hypothesized that comprehensive mapping of the HPV methylomes in cervical samples at different type of low risk and high-risk would reveal patterns of DNA Methylation. Materials and Methods: Inthisstudy Methprimer and Methyl Primer Express v1.0 software was used to design primers for the promoter region of the types 11, 16, 18 and HeLa cell as a positive control. Methylation status of E6 Promoter of high-risk and low risk HPV was analyzed by BSP and by bisulfite-modified DNA sequencing. Results: PCR products were run on agarose gel and the related bands were observed. The PCR product was cloned and confirmed by sequencing. It was observed that methylation of the promoter is different in high-risk and low risk HPV. Conclusion: Based on the results methylation status of high-risk and low risk HPV-E6 Promoter are different and probably reveals a significant correlation between HPV-induced cervical carcinogenesis.

Introduction and Objectives: High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the causative agent of several cancers. In this study, the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV infection among Iranian patients with breast cancer (BC) were determined. The study group consisted of postoperative tissues from patients diagnosed with breast cancer. 150 formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded tissue blocks from 150 breast cancer samples were analyzed. Verification of each cancer reported in a relative was sought through the pathology reports of the hospital records. The prevalence of HPV by Multiplex PCR in breast cancer was evaluated. Materials and Methods: DNA extracted by the simple boiling method yielded higher proportionsof successful gene amplifications (99 %) for b-actin gene. Results: Prevalence of HPV infection was 34.6 % in the archival breast cancer samples. HPV DNA typing identified 52 infections: 21 (40.38%) HPV 16, 15 (28.84%) HPV 18, 8 (15.38%) HPV 11, 4 (7.69%) HPV 31, 2 (3.84%) HPV 33 and 2 (3.84%) HPV35. In this study HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35 were considered high risk. Overall, MY09/11 consensus PCR failed to detect 44 (55.69%) of all HPV infections and interestingly, the predominant genotype detected in all cancers was the oncogenic variant HPV16/18 and about 34% of women aged 24 to 54 were infected with at least one type of HPV. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that DNA derived from archival tissues archived for less than 8 years couldbe used successfully for HPV genotyping by multiplex PCR. The results indicate a likely causal role for high-risk HPV in BC, and also offer the possibility of primary prevention of BC by vaccination against HPV in Iran.

P-466 A survey on Epstein- Barr virus infection in patients with leukemia/ lymphoma and anemia Dehghani Samani A, Dehghani Samani A, Mahzoonieh M.R Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Shahrekord University, Shahrekord, 115, Chahar Mahal & Bakhtiyari, Iran. Introduction and Objectives: The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a gamma herpes virus which causes infectious mononucleosis and has been associated with a variety of neoplasms including endemic Burkitt's lymphoma, undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin's disease, some T-cell lymphomas, polymorphic B cell lymphomas and a typical B-cell lymphoproliferation in immunosuppressed individuals. EBV was first reported as the etiological agent of Burkitt‟s lymphoma in 1964. Although EBV is linked to a number of different types of tumors, the association between this virus and T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia has not been previously explored. EBV has also been linked to T-cell lymphomas, Hodgkin‟s lymphoma, and etc. The aim of this study is showing the relationship between infection by EBV and occurrence of leukemia/ lymphoma and anemia in patients. Materials and Methods: Totally, 100 Whole blood samples were taken from three groups of referred persons to Seyyed A Shohada Hospital in Isfahan, central Iran. 33 Samples from patients with anemia, 33 Samples from patients with lymphoma and 34 Samples from healthy persons without anemia and lymphoma. Then sera were extracted. In next step, DNAs were extracted and then primer with the chain 5´GCAGGGCTCGCAAAGTATAG3´ used for PCR analysis. PCR was performed by heating at 95 ◦C for 5min and subsequently for 40 cycles, each cycle including 95 ◦C for 1min, 56 ◦C for 1 min, and 72 ◦C for 2 min, followed by further incubation at 72 ◦C for 10 min, in a PTC-100 programmable thermal cycler. 50 micro liters aliquots of PCR products were loaded then assayed by electrophoresis on a 2.0% ME-agarose gel and visualized by ethidium bromide. Then gel imaged by gel-doc. Results: After the electrophoresis and imaging, sharp bands with 760 pb were formed in 3 samples that reported as EBV positive samples after the sequencing of 50 micro liters of PCR products. One person with anemia and two persons with lymphoma were EBV positive. There were no significant relationships between the infection by EBV andoccurrence of anemia and also between EBV and occurrence of lymphoma. Conclusion: We advise that in next research on EBV and occurrence of leukemia/ lymphoma and anemia in patients, researchers focus on other factors that have more effect on occurrence of leukemia/ lymphoma and anemia, because there were no significant relationships between the infection by EBV andoccurrence of anemia and also between EBV and occurrence of lymphoma in our study and also in the same studies about this relationship in Iran.

Introduction and Objective: Following hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, spontaneous viral clearance occurs in 10-40% of individuals, generally within the initial 6 months. In HCV infection an inappropriate ratio of cytokine may determine different outcomes of the infection. Certain polymorphisms in the regulatory regions may affect cytokine production; therefore, we aim to determine the effect of IFN-γ gene at +2109A/G loci on HCV infection; Chronic infection versus spontaneous clearance. Materials and Methods: Totally, 200 patients with chronic hepatic C and 48 individuals who spontaneously clear the infection were included in this study. The presence of chronic HCV infection and/or spontaneously clearance of infection in participants were confirmed using ELISA and quantitative RT-PCR techniques. Genomic DNA of the participant was extracted using salting out method. IFN-γ gene polymorphism was carried out using PCR-RLFP method on genomic DNA. Results: The frequency of GG genotype (p=0.0001, OR=0.18, CI: 0.07-0.45) and allele (p=0.0001, OR=0.2.73 CI: 0.1.54-4.83) of IFN-γ gene at +2109 loci were significantly different between individuals with chronic infection and those who spontaneously clear the infection. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that individuals with GG genotype at +2109 loci of IFN-γ gene may spontaneously clear HCV infection more frequently than those with AA genotype.

Introduction and Objective: MDCK cells were found to be suitable for influenza virus production but their inability to grow in suspension burdens the process of scale up and hence their production capability. St6galnac5 is Golgi type II trans membrane glycosyl transfers that is identified as having an important role in cellular adhesion. These enzymes catalyze transfer of sialic acid from CMP-Neu5Ac to the glycan moiety of glycol conjugate on the cell surface. This isolated gene will be able to convert anchorage-dependent MDCK cell to anchorage- independent cells. Materials and Methods: Total RNA was extracted from cancer cell line. cDNA was obtained and used as a template in PCR. RT-PCR was carried out for amplifying specific sequences of siat7e gene by designed specific primers.PCR productswere confirmed by enzyme digestion. Then, it was cloned into pGEMTEasy vector then the recombinants were selected and analysis. Results: The extracted plasmids was sequenced and aligned with different siat7e sequences. The results revealed about more than 99% identity with sequences that are presented in Genbank. Conclusion: This gene encodes a protein that is responsible for the synthesis of disialoganglioside that is involved in cell adhesion. Recent studies show this protein acts as a mediator (decrease cell adhesion) in

Thus, screening of the disease and quantification of HCV load is important for appropriate pre and post transplantation antiviral therapy and future HCV treatment strategies development. This study was conducted to compare molecular and serological methods for detection of Hepatitis C virus and to determine the HCV RNA level among transplant patients referring to Namazi hospital, between Sep 2011 and Jan 2013. Materials and Methods: A total of 101 transplant recipients who were suspected to HCV infection referred to Prof. Alborzi clinical microbiology research center for HCV diagnosis, in this period. From each individual,5 ml peripheral blood sample was collected and the plasma was separated.Anti-HCV antibodies detection was performed on the samples using a commercial chromatographic immunoassay kit. Moreover, viral RNA was extracted from all the samples and TaqMan one-step RT-PCR assay was done for detection and quantification of HCV nucleic acid, applying a commercial kit. Finally, the results were statistically analyzed and compared between different sex, age (≤40 yrs and >40 yrs), and graft recipient groups. Results:Of the 101 individuals (59 (58.4%) men and 42 (41.6%) women), 44 (43.6%), 55 (54.5%), and 2 (2%) were the recipient candidates of liver, kidney and bone marrow, respectively. Patients’ ages ranged from 5 to 74 (mean ± standard deviation: 46.53 ± 13.73 years). From those, 47 (46.5%) were positive for anti-HCV antibodies and 34 (33.7%) for RNA with a significant difference (p < 0.05). Out of the seropositive patients, 15 patients were RNA negative. HCV RNA was detected in the absence of anti-HCV antibodies,in two kidney transplant patients with the regular hemodialysis history. RNA copy number ranged from 4.6×103 to 3.11×107 copies/ml; Median 2.92×106 copies/ml, with no statistical differences in all groups. Conclusion:Although the serological tests are valuable for HCV detection and screening among the population, some limitations still exist. Thus, to make an accurate HCV diagnosis and pursuing effective pre and post transplantation treatment, HCV RNA detection and quantification seems to be vital in this group.
