Introduction: Male factors are responsible for 50% of infertilities. Considering, a few studies have been investigated causes of male infertility in our country. Hence, we evaluated causes infertility in referred to urology clinic of Imam Reza hospital of Mashhad.Methods: This is a retrospective study that served on 2000 files from 2004 through 2009.based on gynecologist examination patients’ wife had no problem. Information such as age, duration of marriage, past fertility history, familiar history and examination recorded exactly in files.Results: The age of patients was 20-54. The most group of patients referred 2 years after marriage. There is 98.7% on primary infertility. 37.4% of patients diagnosed varicocele. Spermogram showed 366 men with normal spermogram, 346 azospermi and 879 with subnormal spermogram.Conclusion: The most cause of male infertility in our referred was varicocele. We suggest similar studies in other centers.

Introduction: The underlying mechanisms of neuropathic pain are poorly understood. Because of limited efficacy of opioids in this pain state, this study was designed to evaluate the influence of selective inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (Amino guanidine) alone and on combination with imipramine on sciatic nerve- ligated mice by hot-plate test.Materials and Methods: This work was accomplished on sixty four (64) male mice that were divided randomly in amino guanidine, imipramine, saline, amino guanidine-imipramine received groups (eight mice in each). All drugs were dissolved in saline and were injected intraperitoneally (i.p). Pain sensitivity was assessed on day 14 after sciatic nerve ligation, using the hot-plate test before and following drug administrations for two hours.Results: Significant sensitivity and hyperalgesia were observed following the sciatic nerve ligation, 14 days after surgery. Administration of amino guanidine (50 and 100 mg/kg, i.p) induced significant analgesia compared to control animals. Latency periods after co-administrations of aminoguanidine and imipramine increased significantly compared to imipramine-treated animals.Conclusion: Findings of this study revealed that inducible nitric oxide synthase may play an important role in the development of such sciatic nerve ligated-evoked pathological pain conditions. However, further studies with more underlying mechanisms of neuropathic pain are recommended.

Introduction: Different research indicated that the attribution styles affect on the motivational, performance and affective people reactions to the difference life events. Moreover, happiness as positive mental health index affect on the different aspects of the people life. The main aim of doing the current research was to investigate of the probably relation between attribute styles and satisfaction with life.Materials and methods: a sample of 67 voluntary participants, from one of the Electricity Company Unites, has been selected using simple random sampling, and was asked to complete the Seligman Attribution Style and Diener Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) to measure Attribution Style and Happiness, respectively.Results: The positive attribute style was shown as the dominant attribute style for the surveyed sample. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was found between satisfaction with life and attribute style.Conclusion: The results of the conducted statistical analysis indicated that relation between attribute style and satisfaction with life is statistically significant. Finally, person with positive attribute style used to show more satisfaction with life.

Introduction and Objectives: Hymenolepis nana, as an intestinal metazoan parasite is highly prevalent worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Different studies have shown that the pre-school and school children are mostly affected with this tapeworm. In order to control this intestinal parasite, the epidemiological measures of the infection require periodical evaluation in different communities. The present cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of H.nana in the primary schools of the city of Zabol in 2007-2008.Materials and Methods: A number of 619 students were randomly selected and subjected to the study from October 2007 to March 2008. Personal information were obtained using questionnaire upon informed content and stool examination were performed utilizing both direct smear method and formalin-ether concentration technique. The examinations were performed utilizing both direct smear method and formalin-ether concentration technique. The examinations were repeated every other day three times. The collected data were statistically analyzed using same tests in the SPSS software.Results: in this study, 619 students, 359 (57.9%) boys and 260 (42.3%) girls were studied. 36 case of h.nan disease found. A higher rate of infection (6.2%) was seen in boys, comparing to girls with 4.6%.The children at the second year of primary school (7.3%) found to have the highest rate of infection. And the rate of infection with h.nana was 5.8% overall the primary school children.Conclusion: The results indicated that H.nana infection is considerably distributed among school children in Zabol. Considering the importance of direct transmission and re-infection of H.nana, increasing the knowledge of parents and training of children towards the control of this parasitic infection are of significant importance.

Backgrounds and Objectives: Presence of humic acids in water resources is important because it is a precursor to disinfection by-products (DBPs) and affects human health and many treatment processes. At present study the performance of anode has been investigated for removal of humic. Acid from artificial aqueos solution.Materials and Methods: The experiments were performed in a bipolar batch reactor with four iron electrode connected in parallel (bipolar mode). Several working parameters, such as initial pH (3, 5, 7 and 8), electrical conductivity (50 V) and reaction time were studied in an attempt to achieve the highest removal capacity. Solutions of humic acid with concentration equal 20 mg/l were prepared. To follow the progress of the treatment, samples of 10 ml were taken at 15, 30, 45, 60 and 80 min interval. The pH of the initial solution was also varied to study their effects on the humic acid concentration was measured by UV absorbance at 254 nm (UV254), and TOC concentration at the optimum condition was studied.Results: Results obtained with synthetic solutions revealed that the most effective removal capacities of humic acid (92.69%) could be achieved when the pH was kept equal 5, electrical conductivity equal 3000 ms/cm. electrical potential=50 volt and reaction time equal 80 min. But for natural water samples at the same optimum condition. Removal efficiencv was low (68.8%).Conclusion: It can be concluded that the electrocoagulation process has the potential to be utilized for cost-effective removal of humic acid from aqueous environments.

Pyridoxine dependent seizure have been recognized as a rare and important cause of intractable seizure in neonates and infants. patient with this autosomal recessive disorder have recurrent seizures that are resistant to conventional anti convulsants but respond dramatically to intravenous or intermuscular administration of pyridoxine.The patient was 2 days old neonat who was refered to Amiralmomenin ali hospital because of recurrent seizures .all paraclinical studies were in normal ranges . the seizure was resistant to the conventional anti convulsant but after 100 mg of pyridoxine by intravenous injection it stopped dramatically.

Introduction: Understanding the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment would equip policy-makers with valuable information to predict and adopt proper strategies for improving organizational behavior and performance. This research intends to assess the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment among headquarter employees of zahedan university of medical Sciences.Materials and methods: A sample of 384 healthcare executives was selected randomly to participate in a cross-sectional, descriptivecorrelation research in 2007. Two distinct questionnaires were used for measuring job satisfaction and organizational commitment. These include ‘Wysocki and Kromm’ and ‘Allen & Meyer’ questionnaires. Collected date were analyzed based on spearman’s correlation and multiple regression analysis.Results: The study generated a %78.9 response rate from 303 participants. Approximately, %57.8 of the participants were satisfied with their jobs and %70.3 of them were committed to their organization The largest and smallest satisfaction scores (mean) were related to satisfaction with coworkers and wages and salaries, respectively. Similarly, the highest and lowest levels of commitment were related to affective and normative dimensions. There was a significant correlation between job satisfaction and organizational commitment (p<0.001).Conclusion: Almost half of the employees were not satisfied with their jobs and about one-third of the employees were not committed to their organization. A satisfaction-to-commitment relation, implies that job satisfaction especially satisfaction with the nature of work (work condition), coworker and salaries are antecedents of commitment to the organization. To increase job satisfaction and organizational commitment, healthcare executives must address the factors which cause increased motivating behavior and collaborative effort.
