abstract

adult neurogenesis is a process of producing nerve cells from their progenitor that occurs in some areas in the brain such as the hypothalamus. low activity in this area plays a role in neural degeneration and diseases such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and depression. ms is a neurodegenerative disease with a permanent disability that the main reason for it is axonal degeneration and neuronal death. therefore, increased neurogenesis in the hypothalamus is an appropriate treatment for this disease. transcription factor brn4 is a transcription factor of the pou3f4 gene (which encodes a member of the pou-iii class of neural transcription factors) that regulating the differentiation of striatal multipotent and precursors stem cells in the hippocampus of the adult brain. this factor also increased during the developing neural tube and the peak of neurogenesis at the time of embryo. igf-1 is a factor that upregulate brn4 by activating p13/akt signaling pathway also brn4 can regulate ctbp2 and notch2 genes that are related to neuronal differentiation. in one study in 2017, observed that after lentivirus-mediated brn4 injected to dentate gyrus of rat hippocampus, differentiation and maturation of neural stem cells significantly increased. these results suggest that overexpression of brn4 enhance neurogenesis and neural differentiation in the hippocampus. we hypothesized that overexpression of transcription factor brn4 by injection of lentivirus-mediated brn4 or increased level of igf-1 can be used as a great treatment modality in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, without injection neural stem cell. we suspect that with increase expression of brn4 in the hippocampus of patients with the score 4- 5 because of disability affects daily routine (according to scoring edss) we can see significant improvement in their daily activities and treatment process.

P 46: The Role of Kv7-Channels in the Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune CNS-disease characterized by inflammatory neurodegenerative events occurring with de- and remyelination. Recent evidence show that demyelinated neurons are less excitable than myelinated ones while at early stages of remyelination these neurons seem to be hyperexcitable. The latter is a transitory condition that, very likely, leads to impaired neuronal networ...

P 143: The Effect of Platelet Activating Factor on Inflammatory Response in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which its main characteristic is an inflammation and demyelination and subsequent, neural degeneration. Many studies have shown that inflammation causing neuronal demyelination. MS is the most common cause of chronic neurological disability in during youth which the prognosis is that can be death. Platelet activating fact...

the analysis of the role of the speech acts theory in translating and dubbing hollywood films

از محوری ترین اثراتی که یک فیلم سینمایی ایجاد می کند دیالوگ هایی است که هنرپیش گان فیلم میگویند. به زعم یک فیلم ساز, یک شیوه متأثر نمودن مخاطب از اثر منظوره نیروی گفتارهای گوینده, مثل نیروی عاطفی, ترس آور, غم انگیز, هیجان انگیز و غیره, است. این مطالعه به بررسی این مسأله مبادرت کرده است که آیا نیروی فراگفتاری هنرپیش گان به مثابه ی اعمال گفتاری در پنج فیلم هالیوودی در نسخه های دوبله شده باز تولید...

P 150: The Role of Blood Brain Barrier Restoration in the Multiple Sclerosis

Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) is a specialized non fenestrate barrier that formation by the endothelial cells and controls the transportation of the cells and molecules in to the brain. Reducing in function of BBB is one of disruptions in neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis. Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) help to the BBB to control the diapedesis of inflammatory cells & molecules in to...

P 51: The Role of T Helper 17 in Pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) which causes demyelination of the nerve fibers. The etiology of this disease is not well understood but it is believed that T helpers play a central role in MS. Numerous findings support the view that Th17 cells play an essential role in pathogenesis of MS and IL-17 secreting T (Th17) cells have a role in infla...
