Introduction: The present study was conducted to evaluate the association of SOFA score after heart surgery with prognosis of patients. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 100 patients admitted to the intensive care unit by convenience sampling method. All grades of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score range are 0 to 24. Patients with higher score have higher mortality rate. The checklist parameters for each patient were assessed on a daily basis and the status of six vital organs of the body (heart, blood, liver, kidney, respiration, central nervous system) was examined and recorded on check list. Patients’,hospital and ICU staying times were recorded too. Results: The results of the evaluation of the performance of the SOFA scoring system showed,the best cut point for the SOFA 11. 5 (sensitivity 96. 3% and 88%) was obtained. Rock 0. 985 was 0. 985 with a confidence interval of 0. 963 and 1. 00, indicating high and significant accuracy and accuracy of the SOFA scoring system in predicting mortality. The results showed that the score of the sofa scoring system have high and appropriate mortality predicting calibration value (x 2 =0. 934, P=0. 999). Conclusion: SOFA scoring system has high accuracy, high sensitivity and specificity in predicting mortality after cardiac surgery in ICU.

Introduction: The development of motor skills and basic skills in childhood and adolescence and subsequently adolescence and adulthood affect the growth and development of all aspects of development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dynamic yard on motor development of children aged 8 to 12 years. Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest design with control group. 30 healthy 8 to 11 year old male students who were studying in Kermanshah in the academic year of 1998-99 were selected voluntarily and randomly divided into two groups of control and experimental. First, pre-tests were performed for both groups. The third edition of Ulrich (2016) was used to assess motor skills. The experimental group participated in the standard training program for 8 weeks and 5 days per week, and the control group performed only daily activities. At the end of the intervention, post-test was performed for both groups. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance at the error level of 0. 05 with SPSS-19 software. Results: The results of covariance analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups in the post-test of large motor skills and the experimental group performed better than the control group in all variables. Conclusion: It seems that in healthy 8 to 12 year old boys, using the dynamic yard program can significantly improve their motor development.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of defense styles in the relationship between dark personality traits and distress tolerance in married clients seeking divorce. Methods: The study method was correlation based on structural equations. The present study population was divorce applicants who had referred to Tehran family counseling clinics in 1400. Using the available sampling method, 260 people were selected and answered the standard questionnaires. Data collection tools were Simmons & Gahr (2005) Distress Tolerance Scale, Johnson & Webster (2010) Dark Personality Traits Scale, and Andrews et al. (1993) Defense Styles Scale. Data analysis using structural equation modeling method showed that the main path coefficient between dark personality traits with distress tolerance in the model is significant (P <0. 01). Results: The coefficient of the main path between the three defensive styles with distress tolerance in the model is significant (P <0. 05). Also, the coefficient of the main path between dark personality traits with immature defense style is positive and with negative defense style is negative in the model (P <0. 01). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that defense styles mediate the relationship between the two variables of dark personality traits and distress tolerance. Psychotherapy techniques can be used to intervene in personality problems and modify defense styles in pre-divorce counseling, and by increasing the tolerance of distress, to maintain the structure and health of the family.

Introduction: Fatty liver disease is the most important reason for chronic liver diseases, from simple fatty liver to advanced stages such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. In this study, the effect of moderate intensity endurance exercise and probiotic consumption on MMP 9 gene expression in an animal model of steatosis was investigated. Method: This study is an experimental study of laboratory type. 32 male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups of 8: healthy group, fatty liver group, fatty liver + probiotic group, fatty liver + probiotic group + moderate intensity endurance exercise and were tested for 8 weeks. Endurance training was done for 8 weeks, 5 days a week, at 18-28 meters per minute. The statistical calculation of this study was done using the one-way analysis of variance test and, in case of a significant difference, the Bonferroni post hoc test to determine the location of the difference between groups was done with SPSS 25 software. Results: Endurance training and probiotic consumption have a significant difference on the expression of the MMP-9 gene in the animal model of fatty liver (P=0. 000) and decrease the expression of MMP-9. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it seems that endurance training along with probiotic consumption can make patients with fatty liver resistant to the damage caused by this disease.
