در سخنان سردبیری شمارههای پیشین درباره شیوههای گوناگون انتشار، مطالبی به رشته تحریر در آمده است [4-1]. در یکی از این سخنان، به موضوع انتشار همزمان یک مقاله در بیش از یک نشریه اشاره شد. بر اساس موازین اخلاق انتشار، نویسندگان از انجام چنین عملی به شدت نهی میشوند، چون انجام این عمل مصداق زیر پا گذاشتن اصول اخلاقی در انتشار یافتههای علمی میباشد [5].
با این وجود، در این سخن سردبیری به موقعیت مشخصی اشاره خواهد شد که در آن، یک مقاله مشابه میتواند به طور همزمان و یا با فاصله کوتاه در بیش از یک نشریه چاپ گردد. این موقعیت که به آن انتشار مشترک اطلاق میگردد، زمانی رخ میدهد که سردبیران چند مجله گوناگون تصمیم میگیرند که به جهت اهمیت موضوع، یک مقاله مشابه را در نشریات خود چاپ نمایند. مثال بارز این شیوهی انتشار، به بیانیههایی اختصاص دارد که چهارچوب گزارش مقالات علمی را تدوین نمودهاند [6].
برای نمونه میتوان به بیانیه کانسورتStatement) (CONSORT که چهارچوب گزارش کارآزماییهای بالینی را در بر گرفته است [7] و یا بیانیه پریزما (PRISMA Statement)که چهارچوب گزارش مقالات مروری نظاممند و فراتحلیلها را پوشش میدهد [8]، اشاره نمود. نظر به اهمیت این بیانیهها و ضرورت کاربرد آنها، مجلات گوناگون میتوانند به طور همزمان و یا با فاصله کوتاهی از یکدیگر، این مقالات را منتشر نمایند. توجه به این نکته ضروری است از آنجایی که این مقالات به طور جداگانه در پایگاههای اطلاعاتی و موتورهای جستجوی نمایه میشوند، باید حاوی جملهای باشند که انتشار همزمان آنها را توضیح داده باشد [9].

Background and Objectives: Adipokines as lipid-secreted proteins play an important role in controlling the metabolism of the body. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of ERRα (Estrogen-related receptor alpha) inhibition on the serum levels of Chemerin, Nesfatin-1 ,and Apelin after 4 weeks of endurance training in male Wistar rats.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 adult male Wistar rats were used. The animals were randomly divided into four equal groups including the control, control+XCT790, endurance training, and endurance training+XCT790. XCT790, as an ERRα inhibitor, was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 0.48 mg /kg of body weight. The training groups performed running endurance training for four weeks (five sessions per week). At the start of the training, the speed was 15 meters per minute and the time was 20 minutes, and gradually increased to 27 meters per minute for 50 minutes. The ELIZA technique was utilized for measuring the serum levels of Apelin, Chemerin ,and Nesfatin-1. One-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey post hoc test was used for between groups comparisons.
Results: Serum levels of Apelin (P=0.168) and Chemerin (P=0.397) in the endurance training group had no significant difference compared to the control group. Serum levels of Nesfatin-1in the endurance training group showed a significant increase compared to the control group (P=0.001). Also, Apelin serum levels (P=0.033) in the control+XCT790 group significantly decreased compared to the control group, but the serum levels of Nesfatin-1 showed a significant increase (P= 0.001), while there was no significant difference in the serum levels of Chemerin compared to the control group (P= 0.718).
Conclusion: The results suggest that Nesfatin-1is a factor that can be changed by the endurance training, and it can probably play a compensatory role in energy homeostasis disorders, but Chemerin does not change with ERRα inhibition.

Background and Objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by progressive memory loss and subsequent dementia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the synergist effect of folic acid and vitamin B12 on spatial memory in adult male rat Alzheimer's disease.
Material and methods: In this experimental study, 49 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 groups: (7 rats in each group): control(intact), NBM lesion group, which received electrically- induced lesion (0.5 m A, 3s) in NBM, sham group ( the electrode was impaled in to the NBM with no lesion), NBM lesion + folic acid 5mg/kg, NBM lesion+ vitamin B12 5mg/kg, NBM lesion+ folic acid- vitamin B12, NBM lesion + saline. Acquisition and retention testing was done by using an eight-radial arm maze, in which the patterns of arm entries were recorded in each group for calculating working memory errors, reference memory error ,and latency. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the control and lesion groups in the parameters of the reference memory error, working memory error ,and elapsed time (P˂0.05). The administration of folic acid and vitamin B12alone did not have any significant effect on spatial memory parameters compared with the lesion group. Co-administration folic acid- vitamin B12 resulted in a reduction in the reference and working memory errors and the time spent in the eight-arm radial laser maze.
Conclusion: According to the results, the NMB lesion resulted in a reduction in spatial memory and co-administration of folic acid and vitamin B12 resulted in improved spatial memory.

Background and Objectives: Water and wastewater resources contamination, caused by the wastewater discharged from industries, is considered a major threat to human and environment health. Catechol is one of the usual phenolic compounds in wastewater of various industries such as oil and petrochemicals, plastics, resins, and etc, which is highly toxic and resistant to degradation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the intermediate compounds and mineralization of catechol in oxidation process with ozone.
Material and Methods: This study was a laboratory research which investigated the effect of variables such as solution pH (2-10), reaction time (0-60 min), initial concentration of catechol (50-1000 mg/l),and radical scavenger on the efficiency of ozonation process. The residual concentration of catechol was measured by HPLC at 275 nm. Also mineralization and degradation of catechol were determined by TOC (Total Organic Carbon) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) tests. Intermediate compounds of ozonation process were measured by GC/MS and were presented as tables and graphs.
Results: Optimum pH for ozonation process was 10. The maximum process efficiency at pH 10 and the contact time of 60 min was 96.20%. Kinetics of catechol degradation followed the first order model. The TOC and COD removal after the contact time of 60 minutes were determined about 78% and 84.4%, respectively. Radical scavenger of tert-butanol (1gr) and sulfate (1gr) reduced the removal efficiency of catechol 12.61% and 0.13%, respectively.
Conclusion: The results showed that the removal of catechol in the optimum condition such as alkaline pH has better efficiency due to the production of hydroxyl radicals. As a result, it seems ozonation process is an effective method for degradation and mineralization of catechol from industrial wastewater.

Background and Objectives: Considering the alarming spread of resistance to classic antimicrobial agents, innovative therapeutic approaches to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens, like the compounds derived from plants and nanoparticles, seems necessary. This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial effect of biosynthetic silver nanoparticles using Glycyrrhiza glabra and Mentha piperata plants on some tooth decay bacteria.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out in the Chemistry and Microbiology Laboratories of the Basic Sciences Faculty of Neishabour Islamic Azad University, in 2016. Silver nanoparticles were produced in biological method using aqueous extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra and Mentha piperata. Nanoparticles were studied by using spectrometry techniques and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). To predict the antibacterial effect of nanoparticles, from each of the extracts at 3.12, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml concentrations, 100 μL was used for broth micro dilution test . Comparison of the mean results of two types of nanoparticles was done using One-way ANOVA statistical test.
Results: UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis and the peak at 430 nm indicated the biosynthesis of the nanoparticles in the extract, and the photo of SEM determined the shape of the nanoparticles spherical and the average size was set at about 55 nm. In reviewing the antimicrobial effect of biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles, the nanoparticles had a good antibacterial activity against the bacteria under study. MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) values for biosynthetic nanoparticles with Glycyrrhiza glabra extract against Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces viscosus ,and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were 1.6, 6.25 ,and 50 μg / ml (p≤0.05), and MIC for biosynthetic nanoparticles with Mentha piperata extract against these bacteria were determined to be 12.5, 12.5 ,and 200 μg / ml, respectively (p≤0.05)
Conclusion: Due to their antioxidant properties and many secondary compounds, the plants extracts play the role of regeneration and stabilization of nanoparticles. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized well with the aqueous extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra and Mentha piperata plants, and the synthesized nanoparticles showed a good antibacterial activity against the bacteria that contributed to the decay of the tooth.
