Introduction: Burnout reactions are physical, psychological, or behavioral reactions that the bereaved person exhibits. The aim of this study was to determine the level of psychological factors which effectively contribute to the facilitation of the bereaving process of mothers who had lost their children to cancer. Materials and Methods: The current research was a purposive descriptive study with the statistical universe of mothers whose children had lost their lives in the battle with cancer. Out of this statistical universe, 54 people were chosen using snowball sampling. Results: The results of the study reveal that self-efficiency, unemotional coping, meaning-centered coping approach, Get counseling and psychological services, Spouse support, Social support and family support, quality of interpersonal relationships, personal characteristics (hardiness), Being involved with a child's memory, Anger at God / the world / nature, Lack of confidence in the continuation of life after death, Release by the health system, Feeling lonely, avoid, Isolation, emotional coping, speed of losing a child, Seeing children of their child's age, marital conflicts, Lack of confidence in the quality of healthcare, feel guilty, A record of dying patient care, Distortion were variables which contributed to the facilitation of the bereavement of parents whose children had died of cancer. Conclusion: In light of the results of this study, the utilization of the following variables of self-efficiency, unemotional coping, meaning-centered coping approach, quality of interpersonal relationships, personal characteristics (hardiness), emotional coping and physical symptoms to facilitate the bereaving process of those mothers who lost their children due to cancer can be suggested.

Introduction: Antibiotics, comprising a significant amount of pharmaceutical compounds, are used as human and veterinary treatments. These antibiotics come to appear as contamination soil, surface water, groundwater, and even drinking water. Advanced oxidation processes such as catalytic ozonation are effective to remove the antibiotics form water and wastewater. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of Catalytic Ozonation Process for tetracycline antibiotics removal from contaminated waters. Materials and Methods: In this design, an ozonation pilot with a volume of 200 cc was used. In each experiment, the tetracycline solution was poured into the desired concentration, the pH of the sample was adjusted with sulfuric acid and NaOH. At different times of 5 to 30 minutes and different PHs of 2 to 10 ozonation was performed at the dose of 0. 8 mg/min. Then, under these conditions, ozonation was performed in the presence of activated carbon catalyst and a sample was discharged from the pilot and analyzed (HPLC) to determine the remaining tetracycline. Results: The results showed that under optimum conditions of pH= 8 and ozone dose of 0. 8 mg / min and contact time of 30 minutes ozonation only eliminated 59% of tetracycline and in the same conditions catalytic ozonation with 0. 01 g/L carbon. The Calligonum comosum tree was able to remove 100% tetracycline in 30 minutes. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that carbon catalyzed ozonation from wood Calligonum comosum waste can be used as an advanced treatment method.

Introduction: Cardiac surgery is one of the most important surgeries performed these days. The aim of this study is to compare the brain-behavioral systems in people before and after open-heart surgery. Materials and Methods: The present research is a descriptive study with a comparative and retrospective causal method with purposeful sampling. The statistical population of the study includes 210 people, encompassing 70 people who underwent open-heart surgery, 70 volunteered for open-heart surgery and 70 other with a history of heart diseases. The information was collected in addition to the demographic questionnaire through the Gray-Wilson personality questionnaire. Then, in order to analyze the collected data, statistical models of multivariate and univariate analysis of variance were used. Results: The results showed that, patients candidate for open-heart surgery scored higher than patients who underwent surgery and the control group in behavioral activation measure. According to the findings in the behavioral inhibition component, there is a significant difference between the three groups. Patients who underwent surgery received the minimum scores in active avoidance, further people who underwent open-heart surgery received lower scores than patients who were candidate for surgery and the control group in extinction measurement. Conclusion: Therefore, due to the decrease in the performance of the behavioral activation system and the increase in the performance of the behavioral inhibition system, behavioral-activation-based interventions under the supervision of psychologists should be planned and implemented for these patients.

Introduction: Due to the effect of L-arginine analogues on inhibiting nitric oxide synthesis and exercise training as one of the non-pharmacological methods, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise training with garlic extract on changes of cerebellar tissue in rats with induced hypertension. Materials and Methods: Rats weighing 200 to 220 gr and hypertension at 10 to 12 weeks of age responding to the main symptoms of hypertension were selected. The rats will be divided into 6 treatment groups after a period of injection of L_NAME that results in hypertension. Balance and motor coordination test was performed after 8 weeks of exercise using Beam Walking Test. The treatment groups were given orally garlic and sorbide extracting. Results: In the hypertensive group, white matter and gray matter had some amount of hypertension associated with cellular distribution in the granular area. In Purkinje cells, degenerative cellular changes are observed. Endurance training group did not show any significant changes compared to control group. The endurance training group and the garlic extract retained some meningeal detachment along with some blood accumulation, and the sorbide group in the purkinje cells degenerative changes such as bold cytoplasm and unspecified nucleus are seen. In the endurance training group and sorbide in the purkinje cells are still seen with abnormal features such as dark cytoplasm and undefined nucleus. Conclusion: Hypertension causes moderate changes in the purkinje layer and mild changes in the granular layer, as well as mild hyperemia in the cerebellar tissue and the sorbide and garlic extract alone, as well as markedly reduced exercise training.
