Introduction: Exam anxiety, if it be severe can also cause health problems for the individuals. The one of mechanisms that is involved in anxiety-related physical diseases is imbalance of antioxidants and oxidants. The aim of this study was to investigate total antioxidants and oxidants in exam anxiety condition.Methods: The present study is a before and after research that was conducted on 48 female students and performed in two stage. In each stage 4ml of blood was taken from each individual. Cortisol, total antioxidants capacity and oxidants were determined in serum. Mean markers of proteins in two stages were compared using paired t-test or Wilcoxon rank test.Correlations between parameters were examined by Pearson Correlation test. The minimal level of significance was set at P<0.05.Results: Cortisol concentrations and total oxidants levels were significantly higher during the exam period than after vacation (P<0.001). The level of total antioxidants and oxidative stress index were significantly lower during exam period compared with the post exam period (P<0.001). In exam period, there was a negative correlation between serum total antioxidant levels and cortisol concentration (r=-0.42, P<0.01). But there was no correlation between cortisol concentration and total antioxidant (r=0.275, P>0.05).Conclusion: High serum cortisol level in exams period compared with after vacation is indicated that the students has experience the anxiety during exam. The high level of total oxidants and low level of total antioxidants during the exam period compared with non-exam period denoted occurrence of oxidative stress in exam anxiety.

Background: vaccination is one of the most important effectiveness cost indexes for prevention of affliction and mortality. So this study designed and performed in order to estimating exact children vaccination coverage and determining stop or delay causes in zabol university medical of sciences on 2010.Methods: in this analytical cross-sectional study statistical society consisted of all 15-26 months children in resident families in urban and rural under coverage areas of Zabole university of medical sciences in question erring time that were examined with cluster and systematic sampling method. In aforesaid areas 630 numbers of children in the frame of 90 clusters 7per person were examined. Usable information were collected with referring to mentioned households and using of interviewing method with mothers or guardian of child and also checking children vaccination cards. The data were analyzed by using descriptive and analytical statistics and Chi-square test.Results: Results showed that from the total number of 630 cases, 595 patients (94.4%) were completely covered by vaccination. The most important causes of its stop or delay according to the child’s mother or guardian, s statement in order was related to the lack of information to the need of next vaccine doses, lack of information to the need of doing vaccination and lack and unavailable of vaccine.Conclusions: According to the research findings the conditions of children vaccination coverage was in optimum level. Defection causes of vaccination the need of holding some specific educational classes about vaccination for all mothers and recruiting required services and facilities it seems to be necessary.

Introduction: Iron overload due to excessive absorption of iron. Most activity of the erythropoiesis occurs following blood transfusions and can cause major complications in beta-thalassemia. This study aimed to investigate the levels of serum ferritin in patients with thalassemia major and adequate dosage of desferrioxamine in these patients was consumed.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in thalassemia section of Amir Al Momenin- hospital of Zabol. 117 beta- thalassemic patients were participated. They aged between 4 to 21 years. All patients followed-up monthly to check for the trend of disease and blood transfusions. The patients were treated with deferoxamine with an average dose of 25- 50 mg/kg/day. The serum ferretin was measured by ELISA method.Results: The serum ferritin level was in a desirable range in all patients, which was between 300-2000 mg/L.Conclusion: This study revealed that iron overload in thalassemic patients in Zabol was acceptable but With self-care education and the dosage can be adjusted to achieve better results.

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important causes of skin infections.The resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics is increasing every day. Studies have shown that the ethanolic and acetonic extracts of Quince seed's and silver nanoparticles can prevent the growth of S. aureus. In this study, the effect of ethanolic and aceonic extract of Quince seed's and silver nanoparticles investigated against skin burns infection due S. aureus in animal model.Methods: First, the ethanolic and acetonic extract of Quince seeds and silver nanoparticle were prepared. Then, on the shoulders of 36 male mice burn wound was created. Wheal was infected with S. aureus. The mice were divided into 6 groups of 6. And each group were treated with its special ointment (ointment of silver nanoparticles, ethanol yield acetonic extract of Quince, mupirocin, vaselin, and no treatment group, respectively). Every day until eleven day the condition of wound healing rate was measured and compared.Results: The results showed that the group treated with ethanolic and acetonic extracts of Quince seed's had the greatest impact on wound healing. And its effects better than mupirocin and silver nanoparticles reported.Conclusion: The results showed that the Quince seed's extracts can be used in healing skin infections caused by S. aureus.

Iintroduction: Because of entering organic material and mud, lakes and reservoirs are naturally subject to change. Entrance of macro nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), inorganic and organic material into reservoirs and lakes, leading to the changes in the quality of water. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the parameters of water quality assessment was conducted in 2012 in Chahnimeh of Zabol.Methods: In this cross sectional study that was performed for eight months, from early April to October 2012, on water reservoir of number 3 Chahnimeh of Zabol city. At present study every 15 days, samples were collected from the bottom of the reservoir using Nansen bottle and then temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, heavy metals, phosphorus and coli form bacteria levels were measured in the laboratory according to standard procedures. Also, SDT parameter was measured by secci disk. Data analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive and analytical statistics by one sample t test, and p£0.05 was considered as significant.Results: The mean concentrations of nitrate, phosphate, COD and dissolved oxygen concentration were 11.17, 0.02, 21.13 and 8.7 mg/L, respectively. Average total dissolved solids, sulfate, nitrate and total hardness, were 450.43, 138.41, 11.17, 199.40 mg /l, respectively. Average total of coli form and E.coli bacteria were 27.5 and 1.1, and a significant relationship were observed between water chemistry values for all parameters (p£0.05).Conclusion: According to the results, all parameters were within the standard of compliance for drinking. The estimation of reservoir water showed water quality management plan for the protected Chahnimeh NO: 3 requires further.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women 35-50 years old.More than 500, 000 deaths annually in the world, the disease occurs. More than 500, 000 deaths annually worldwide occur in this disease and the incidence of breast cancer in Iranian women is about 7000 cases per year. Due to the lack of knowledge about etiology of breast cancer, it is necessary the early detection of disease by mammography and it is essential for survivalas of patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of mammography use among women over 35 years of HBM (health belief model).Methods: This cross-sectional study is a descriptive-analytic study that was conducted on 320 employed women. The information collected by the questionnaire Champion and code them, analyzed using statistical tests: T-test and Logistic regression.Results: The results of the study showed that there are significant differences in average scores on perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived barrier and self efficacy between the group that did mammography (27%) and the group that did not mammography.The logistic regression analysis showed that perceived benefits and barriers are significantly predictors of mammography.Conclusion: The results show that perceived benefits and barriers to mammography behavior are predictors. Mammographic screening of women at the time of conception is higher than the benefits of mammography behavior and has lower perceived barriers.

Introduction: Although thermal injury sustained during pregnancy is not frequent, however, there are certain medical problems for the mother and the unborn baby. Presents special management problems for both the gravid woman and her unborn child. Burn can exhaust mother who are under stress of pregnancy.method: Because of lack of available data about pregnant in burn center of Imam Reza Hospital, in an 18-month period, these patients were evaluated (2011-2012). Pregnancy was established by use of ultrasonography and urine gravindex test. All pregnant women who were admitted to the burn unit, gynecological examination and ultrasound examination was carried out on a periodic basis. Burn treatment was similar to non-pregnant patients.Result: 17 pregnant patients have been treated with burns over a period of 1.5 years. There were 1260 patients admitted in both men and women. From this, 548 patients were admitted to the women section. Flame burns were the most common, and the average of hospital stay was 34 days in pregnant. Burns percent was between15 to 100. In any case, there was no need for cesarean section to save the baby. No need to terminate the pregnancy to save the mother and the fetus. Finally mother of 3 and 5 fetuses died. In all instances, the the fetus died of severe burns over 70 percent.Conclusion: The difference in the incidence of pregnancy among burns our series of reports on medical topics there. Undiagnosed cases are probably related to pregnancy. Recommends all women of childbearing age, pregnancy test should be done routinely. Since more than 70 percent of all deaths in burn rate was 3. It seems that the death of the mother and fetus has been affected by severe burns.
