People with diabetes should continuously measure their blood glucose level. Continuous blood glucose measurement by commonly used methods is painful and difficult. On the other hand, mobile phone can be a useful tool for accessing physicians and telemedicine services more easily. The aim of this study was to provide a medical care system for mobile monitoring of diabetes. Method: This study is an applied study and the proposed system includes a non-invasive sensor for measuring blood glucose using the near-infrared spectroscopy and an Android application. To evaluate the system, experiments were performed on glucose solution and on the body. In these experiments, both the transmittance and the reflectance modes were examined. Results: It was observed that with increasing glucose concentrations, the output voltage of sensor increased in the transmittance mode and decreased in reflectance mode. When testing on the body, the mean error rate was 34.14 in the transmittance mode and 35.9 in the reflectance mode. The results indicated that by combining transmittance and reflectance modes, better results were obtained. In this case, the mean percentage of error was 8.27 and RMSE was 52.18mg/dl. Conclusion: Finally, it can be inferred that near-infrared spectroscopy can be used in the future as an alternative for invasive methods in measuring blood glucose levels. There is also the possibility of providing remote medical services to diabetics using mobile phones.     Telemedicine Blood Glucose Near-infrared Spectroscopy Android Application Diabetes 2019 3 01 469 480 http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-276-en.pdf

In this study, we aimed to investigate the miR-200 family (miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-141, and miR-429) and their target genes using bioinformatics prediction tools in order to propose potential diagnostic biomarkers for prostate cancer. Method: In this theoretical study, based on bioinformatics study of micro RNA, the DIANA TOLLS-mirPath v.3 database was used to search the target genes of the miR-200 family in the signaling pathways known in prostate cancer pathogenesis. Then, we confirmed the suggested genes by the online predictive tools such as MiRWalk, Targetscan and RNAhybrid. Finally, the functional role of target genes was investigated on the DAIVID bioinformatics database. Results: According to the results of this study, the E2F3 gene is the target of all family members of miR-200, BCL2 is the common target of miR-200b / miR-200c / miR-429 and CCNE2 is the common target of miR-200a / miR-141 subsets. Also, miR-200c and miR-429 can modulate the pathogenesis of prostate cancer by targeting CDKN1B and KRAS genes, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that members of the miR-200 family targeting the genes involved in important biological processes and molecular pathways of prostate cancer pathogenesis are likely to be effective diagnostic biomarkers in future experimental studies.   Prostate cancer miR-200 family Bioinformatics 2019 3 01 495 506 http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-313-en.pdf
