Iran and the Global Financial Crisis
No full textThe global financial crisis is set to depress oil producing economies. As the crisis is already pushing down oil prices, a firm response to the fallout of the crisis from governments and central banks is expected. Oil prices have tumbled more than 70% since their July peak and there are fears they could continue their plunge because of diminishing demand caused by the current financial meltdown. Though, the Iranian government does not seem to be greatly concerned about the ongoing global situation, although many Iranian economists believe that sanctions and the international financial crisis will soon be taking their toll on Iran’s economy by unfavorably affecting oil, trade, and trade financing. Even if the relative isolation from the world’s economy may seem to protect Iran from the negative impact of the global financial crisis to a certain extend at least for now, plunging oil prices and a massive credit deterioration suggest otherwise.Iran; Financial Crisis; Oil Revenue; Currency Exchange; Currency Crash
Iran’s Banking and Monetary Problems
No full textIran has had many self-imposed economic crises. Many of which relate to the poorly managed banking system as well as flawed monetary and fiscal policy. Inefficiency of the banking-monetary system in Iran is a well known fact. A complete overhaul of the current system should be one of the essential priorities of any economic reformation and development. The banking-monetary system of any country has a key role in its economic efficiency and strength, price stability, production, and economic growth. The main functions of a banking-monetary system are to provide fiscal resources, to prepare ground for optimal allocation of capital in the economy, to distribute the wealth in the best possible way, and to ease economic development. This is particularly important in Iran because capital markets are underdeveloped.Iran; Banking; Monetary Policy; Fiscal Policy
Metabolomics profiling of serum samples of Malaysian patients with colorectal cancer / Nurul Azmir Amir Hashim
No full textColorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in the world and in Malaysia. The gold standard for diagnosis is the use of colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy. The invasive nature of diagnostic tools and asymptomatic nature of the disease may contribute to most Malaysian patients being diagnosed at late stage with poor prognosis. Thus, there is a need for non-invasive biomarkers for CRC. Alterations in metabolite profile reflect changes in metabolism and therefore metabolomics has been used to identify the differential metabolites between CRC and healthy individuals. The aim of the study is to identify potential biomarkers and affected pathways by performing serum untargeted metabolic profiling of CRC using LCMS-QTOF. Serum samples from 50 CRC and 50 age matched healthy individuals were used. The raw data generated were analysed using software Mass profiler professional (MPP). Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models generated based on profiled data were capable of discriminating most of the normal sera from colorectal sera. The pathways analysis was done using Metaboanalyst. The biomarkers were then validated using a new set of sera from 20 CRC and 20 normal subjects. The involvement of purine metabolism and fatty acid oxidation pathways as altered pathways in CRC were validated using normal and colon cancer cell lines of different stages. Hypoxanthine/xanthine, uric acid and HPRT1 levels and xanthine oxidase activity were determined. The levels of acetylcarnitine and the rate of fatty acid oxidation were determined with and without the presence of etomoxir, an inhibitor of CPT1. In silico data analysis was done using public data GSE21510 and GSE32323 from Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO) series, web-based GEO2R with a p-value smaller than 0.01, an absolute log fold-change greater than 1 as filters. The results showed 11 metabolites were differentially expressed between CRC patients and controls (p< 0.05). The differential metabolites were hypoxanthine, tyrosine, acetyl carnitine, xanthine, uric acid, methionine, pipecolic acid, 5-oxoproline, lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine and citric acid. The use of these 11 metabolites was able to discriminate CRC and normal samples in the new samples set with 80% accuracy using random forest algorithm. These metabolites were then linked to metabolic pathways using KEGG database, and the data showed that the major pathways affected were purine metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, citric cycle, phospholipid catabolism, glutathione metabolism and lysine degradation. In-silico data mining showed alterations in gene expression in purine metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, methionine metabolism, glutathione metabolism, histone methylation and histone acetylation. Xanthine oxidase activity were low in CRC compared to normal cells (0.02 mU versus 0.09 mU respectively). The levels of hypoxanthine/xanthine and HPRT were higher in cancer than normal cells while uric acid levels were low in CRC cells. For fatty acid oxidation, the levels of acetylcarnitine were higher in CRC compared to normal cells. The levels of acetylcarnitine were reduced by 40% when cells were inhibited with etomoxir. Oxygen consumption rates showed that fatty acid oxidation was not significantly affected in CRC. In conclusion, the 11 metabolites have the potential to be used as biomarkers to detect CRC in serum of patients with high accuracy. Purine metabolism was among several pathways that were affected in CRC patients
