Introduction: Considering that local foods in lights of their food value, raw material availability, freshness, free from chemical retentive materials and cheapness are considered as the best foods in different parts of the country. Foods are selected based on a set of motivations, thus, the aim of this study was to Investigating Local Foods Consumption and Motivations affecting local food consumption in Ilam.Material & methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study 185 subject were chosen using cluster sampling. And by questionnaires were evaluated; that questions about consumption whit reliability of 0.72, were made by the researcher and questions related to the motivation whit reliability 0.91, adjusted the questionnaire was Stpetoe et al, and its validity was confirmed by experts. Data were analyzed using correlation coefficient and logistic regression models with spss software.Findings: In this study, 2% of the sample stated that no local food consumption during the month and 57% stated that 2 to 3 times a month consume local food, in general amount consumption is extremely low. The results indicate that Motivations Healthk (p=0.001, r=0.238), Natural content (p=0.000, r=0.291), mood (p=0.001, r=0.023), convenience (p=0.001, r=0.239), Sensory appeal (p=0.012, r=0.186), price (0.000, r=0.353), familiarity (p=0.050, r=0.145) and Prestige (p=0.000, r=0.327) with consumption of local food has a significant positive relationship. Based on the results of the one variable regression analysis, these motivations have a significant effect on the consumption of local food.Discussion & Conclusion: According to low Consumption of local foods, since people have motivation certain in local foods consumption, raising public awareness through the media advertising about the benefits of eating local food is necessity undeniable.

Introduction: Studies has shown that diabetes type 1 and partly type 2 may exacerbate osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 8 weeks resistance training on Bone Mass Density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes.Materials & methods: 20 postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes were recruited from Sanandaj diabetes association, (mean age, height, weight and BMI=51±6 yr, 153.4±5 cm, 68.3±11 kg and 29.3±4 kg/m2, respectively) and then randomly divided in two groups including experimental and control. The experimental group performed resistance training for 8 weeks, three sessions per week and each session with 70% of one repetition maximum. The resistance training program consists of: bench press, leg extension, shoulder press, hamstring curl, standing two-arm curl and lat pull down. During the same period, the control group did not participate in any regular exercise training, but in terms of medication and dosage it was similar to the experimental one. Densitometry was performed to assess bone mass density (BMD) of the femur, distal forearm, and lumbar spine.Findings: After 8 weeks, there weren’t any significant changes in BMD [femoral neck (p=0.72), lumbar spine (p=0.36) and forearm bone (p=0.8)] in groups and bone sites. In addition, no significant differences were found between the two groups (p values for the femoral neck, lumbar spine and forearm were 0.18, 0.23 and 0.67, respectively).Discussion & Conclusion: These data indicate that 8 weeks resistance training did not improve Bone Mass Density in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes.

Introduction: The main concern in composting plant is leachate generation that is known to be highly polluted wastewater. Migrations of untreated leachates are potential sources of hazardous contaminants in soil, groundwater and surface water. This study was aimed to investigate the heavy metals removal efficiency from Isfahan composting leachate using the following coagulants ferrous sulfate, ferric chloride, poly ferric sulfate, alum and poly aluminum chloride.Materials & methods: This is an experimental study. Leachate samples were collected from the Isfahan composting leachate´s collection ponds. At first, leachate characteristics including COD, BOD, TSS and pH as well as the following heavy metals Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Cd were measured according to the standard methods. Jar-test experiments were carried out to examine the effects of changing coagulants' dosage (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 g/l) and pH values (4-12) on heavy metal removal. As a result, the effective dosage, optimum pH and the most convenient coagulant were identified.Findings: investigating the average of mentioned heavy metals' concentration, Zn had the highest concentration in leachate (6.2mg/l). The optimum pH for precipitation of the metals using alum, poly aluminium chloride, ferric chloride, ferrous sulfate and poly ferric sulfate was 6.5, 7, 10, 10 and 11 respectively. Optimum concentration of the mentioned coagulants was obtained 2, 1.5, 1.5, 2 and 2g/l respectively. Poly ferric sulfate with70% to 87% of heavy metals removal and 50% of COD removal had the highest efficiency. Poly aluminium chloride with 65% to 85%, Ferric chloride with 75% to 80%, ferrous sulfate with70% to 80% and finally alum with 70% to75% were the following priorities at heavy metals removal.Discussion & Conclusion: Poly ferric sulfate is the most effective coagulant to remove heavy metals from the leachate and comparing the results with the Iranian guide line for effluent discharge shows that the concentration of heavy metals in leachate did not exceed the maximum allowed values.

Introduction: Traditionally, the natural ingredients have been used for faster healing of wounds. In this study, the effects of topical application of propolis and aloe vera were studied on the healing of open skin wounds in male rats.Materials & methods: 32 male Wistar rats (300 - 350 g) were randomly divided into control and 3 experimental groups. After anesthesia, under sterile conditions round full-thickness wound with a diameter of 2.5 cm were created above the thigh of animals. In experimental groups, treatment of wound was performed with usage of ointment containing approximately 1gram of propolis or aloe vera or both of them, two times per day and continued for 20 days. During this period, the rate of wound healing was assessed by measuring the levels of wound in all groups. Also at the last day, under deep anesthesia, 1 mL of urine samples were taken from the bladder of all animals and its hydroxyproline concentration were measured. Data were analyzed using SPSS software with ANOVA and Dunnett test.Findings: Wound healing percentage showed no significant difference between control and experimental groups on 2 to 9 days, but in the 10 to 20 days interval, the treatment groups showed significant differences compared to control (P<0.01).Discussion & Conclusion: The topical use of aloe vera or propolis accelerates healing of full thickness skin wounds and their combination is more effective.

Introduction: Currently, the use of electromagnetic waves in medicine, especially in diagnostic devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has increased and many of its biological effects have been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the adverse effects of 1.5 T MRI on fertility and reproductive parameters of male mice.Materials & methods: Forty NMRI adult male mice were randomly divided into two groups of control and experimental. The mice in the experimental group were exposed to MRI at 1.5T for 36 minutes once a week for a period of 3 weeks. Then, in the 1st day and 35th day after the final exposure, 10 mice were used for IVF and 10 mice for In vivo studies. MRI effects on testis weight, the duration of pregnancy, the number of newborns, sperm count, and fertility were evaluated. The obtained data were analyzed by using ANOVA and Tukey’s tests.Findings: According to the present study, one day after MRI exposure, testis weight, sperm count, and the number of born children were significantly decreased in the experimental group (P 0.05).Discussion & Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it seems that although the MRI at 1.5T has adverse effects on fertility and reproductive parameters of the adult male mice, these side-effects are reversible.

Introduction: More than 60% of the office staff in developing countries complain about physical discomfort that many of the discomforts associated with musculoskeletal disorders. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among developing countries, according to the type and duration of work with computers, between 15 to 70% has been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate musculoskeletal disorders in computer users and determination of correlation between the results of CMDQ, RULA and ROSA methods.Materials & methods: Participants were 71 office users that were selected using systematic random sampling. The method used in this correlation study was using CMDQ questionnaire and evaluation of those methods.Findings: According to the final results of the RULA 46% of participants were in risk level 3 and 4 (ergonomic intervention) and results of the ROSA 21% as low risk, 48% as medium risk and 31% were at high risk. Also there is a significant relationship between the risk level of two method results (p<0.05).Discussion & Conclusion: Two evaluation methods have a high correlation to estimated risk levels of musculoskeletal disorders and they can be used as an alternative method to assessment of ergonomic risk of office environments.

Introduction: Low dose treatment with aspirin could result in endometrial improvement, decrease of abortion and consequently, an increase in uterine receptivity. Although many studies have been conducted on the effect of low dose of aspirin on the endometrium, there has not been any report on the effect of prescribing low dose of aspirin on the vascular density of endometrium. Thus, it was essential to conduct a study on this subject.Materials & methods: 15 female NMRI mice were used in this study. They were divided into three groups: control, sham and experimental groups. At first, in all groups, pseudo-pregnancy was induced and then the sham group received an injection of sterile water. The experimental group received low-dose of aspirin (7.5mg/kg) twice a day. Ovarian hormone levels were measured after 4.5 days of pseudo-pregnancy. Then the animals were sacrificed and the uterine horns were sampled for measurement of vascular density at implantation period. Finally, our results were statistically analyzed.Findings: Vascular density in the endometrium between two groups (control-experimental and sham-experimental) showed a statistically significant difference (P£0.05).Discussion & Conclusion: Low-dose of aspirin seems to lead in changes of vascular density in the endometrium that may be effective on the embryo implantation.

Introduction: During patients’ hemodialysis Circle, the amount of heavy metals in feed water to dialysis instrument and the patient’s blood are changed. The present study aims at evaluating the trend of lead, cadmium, chromium and zinc concentration in feed water to reverse osmosis, dialysis instrument and blood of hemodialysis patients in 7 hospitals of Kermanshah.Materials & methods: A total of 42 samples of feed water, 42 samples of reverse osmosis systems permeate and 42 samples of hemodialysis instrument permeate were collected from 7 hospitals in Kermanshah. The collected samples were analyzed and the concentration of lead, chromium, cadmium and zinc were determined by using ICP (DV-Optima2100 model) according to a standard method. Furthermore, statistical analysis was carried out by using one-sample t-test to compare mean quality of feed water of dialysis instrument with AAMI and EPH standards. In addition, ANOVA test was used for comparing the results of three sample groups.Findings: The obtained results indicated that the mean concentration of lead, cadmium, chromium and zinc in feed water of reverse osmosis system (drinking water), were 18.53 ± 8.25, 0.706 ± 0.42, 86.06 ± 5.56, 112.67 ± 63.56pbb, respectively. Also, quantity of these constituents in the feed and permeate of electrolysis device was 18.81±5.32, 0.719±0.53, 84.25±2.46, 43.39±19.4pbb and 12.5±6.32, 1.39±0.87, 66.15±13.54, 60.38±22.39pbb, respectively. Due to obtained results, the removal efficiency of zinc and chromium by reverse osmosis system in dialysis instrument were 61.5 and 2.1%, respectively, while it was not effective in removing lead and cadmium metals.Discussion & Conclusion: Increasing the level of lead and cadmium in permeate water of the reverse osmosis system rather than the feed water indicated that the reverse osmosis membrane function is out of service; as a result, it is required to be washed or replaced. Decreasing both lead and chromium metals in permeate solution of the dialysis instrument revealed the addition of the amount of those two hazardous metals to the blood of hemodialysis patients, which could be related to reverse osmosis membrane deficiency and high concentration of metals in its water permeate.

Introduction: Studies have shown that pain, nausea and vomiting after abdominoplasty are the most common complications that lead to accumulation of hematoma, delay in discharge and more postoperative drug usage. Researchers use numerous medications, including corticosteroids to reduce these complications to the minimum possible extent. The present study aims at investigating the effects of intravenous Dexamethasone on post abdominoplasty pain, nausea and vomiting.Materials & methods: This controlled clinical study was conducted on 44 patients who were candidates for abdominoplasty surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, namely intervention and control ones. The intervention group received 8 mg intravenous Dexamethasone and the control group received nothing. The patients underwent identical anesthesia and surgery. After every 6 hours, pain and nausea were assessed by pain measurement scale and vomiting was analyzed through a questionnaire for 24 hours. Finally, the data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA test and proportion test was used to compare qualitative variables.Findings: the average of postoperative pain and nausea immediately after the surgery, after 6, 12, 18, 24 hours were significantly different in the intervention group than in the control one (P=0.03). However, there was no vomiting in both of the groups.Discussion & Conclusion: the results of the study indicated that Dexamethasone can reduce the postoperative pain and nausea after abdominoplasty surgery. However, due to the absence of vomiting in the two groups, there were no clear effects on vomiting.

Introduction: None-glucose substrates such as ketone bodies and lactate play an important role in sustaining the brain energy need in diabetes and obesity states. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance training on lactate transports gene expression in the brain of healthy and diabetic rats.Materials & methods: Thirty five eight-weeks-old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups; control (n=7), trained (n=8), diabetic control (n=10), and trained diabetic (n=10). Diabetes was induced by the intraperitonealinjection of streptozotocin, and 8weeks ofendurance training was applied on trained groups. Relative gene expression of MCT1, MCT2 and MCT4 expression in the cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellumwere measured by Real-time PCR, and gene expression was quantifiedby 2-ΔΔCT method. The differences of variables between groups were tested using Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post-hoc testwere used to determine wherever significant differences occurred.Findings: Diabetes induction increased MCT1 gene expression in the cortex (1.91-fold) and MCT2 in the cortex (1.98 - fold), hippocampus (1.7-fold), and cerebellum (2.52 - fold) in the diabetic control as compared to the control group. There was a significant difference regarding MCT1 gene expression between the diabetic control and the trained diabetic (P<0.05). MCT2 gene expression in the cortex (P<0.05) and cerebellum (P<0.05) were significantly different between the diabetic control and the trained diabetic.Discussion & Conclusion: The results of this study showedthat diabetes and exercise-induced changes in the lactate transporters gene expression were occurred in order to protection of the brain lactate uptake.

Introduction: Anthropometric parameters of neonates at birth are using as powerful health indicators for assessment of neonate health status. The controlling for effective socio-demographic and biological factors are helpful in public health. This study analyzes anthropometric parameters of neonates at birth and some effective demographic factors in urban and rural health care centers of Sistan region, Iran.Materials & methods: This cross sectional survey among 1712 neonates was conducted in three cities of Zabol, Zahak and Hirmand in Sistan region, Iran. Inclusion criteria were at term (37-42 weeks gestation) and non-pathological pregnancies. Anthropometric parameters of neonates at birth were measured. Finally the influences of demographic factors were analyzed. By using SPSS version 18 and t-test and Pearson correlation test, data were analyzed.Findings: The percentage of low birth weight neonates was 9.3% of all live neonates. Male and urban neonates with low birth weight were significantly less than female and rural neonates. There were significantly higher neonatal birth anthropometric parameters other than weight at birth, in male and urban neonates.Discussion & Conclusion: Our studies have shown that prevalence of neonates with low birth weight in Sistan region was more than other regions of Iran. We can improve neonatal birth anthropometric parameters by developing health, educational, economical and nutritional helping programs.

Introduction: Uterine pathology is the cause of infertility in 15% of infertile couples. Abnormalities of uterine cavity decrease fertility rate in patients who are undergoing IVF. Treatment of these abnormalities will improve fertility rate in these patients. Diagnostic evaluations of uterine cavity in infertile women are hystrerosalpingography and hysteroscopy. This study compared uterine findings in hysterosalpingography versus hysteroscopic in infertile patients.Materials & methods: In this prospective descriptive epidemiological study, hysteroscopy uterine findings of 100 consecutive infertile women who referred to IVF unit of Imam Khomeini hospital in Ahvaz city compared with their hysterosalpingographic findings. These patients were candidate for hysteroscopy after hysterosalpingography. Analysis of findings was done by SPSS 16.0 and Windpipe 1.45. The concordance rate between two methods was assessed by kappa statistic.Findings: In this study, the results of uterine findings of HSG with hysteroscopy was compared. There was a sensitivity70%, specifity60%, false negative30%, false positive40%, positive predictive value80.3%, and negative predictive value46.2%. The agreement rate of the two methods was determined using kappa statistic which was 65%. (P-value < 0.005) our study showed that hysteroscopy increases 40% diagnostic power than HSG in uterine findings. (LR=1.4)Discussion & Conclusion: Hysteroscopy is better than HSG from the point view of assessing uterine cavity lesions even when HSG was normal, the diagnostic power was increase 40%. Hysteroscopy can be easily performed, and with respect to the fact that HSG has lower sensitivity and higher false negative rate than hysteroscopy, we suggest that hysteroscopy should be the part of assessing infertile couples.

The data were analyzed with using MANOVA way and pursuance test LSD.Finding: Data analysis revealed a significant difference between patients with schizophrenia and bipolar and normal groups are used in terms of executive function, Emotional intelligence and emotion regulation and pursuance test LSD revealed that executive function component is more in patients with schizophrenia Disorder than patients with bipolar and normal groups. Emotional intelligence and emotion regulation is more normal group than schizophrenia and bipolar group.Discussion & Conclusion: While considering the limitations, discussion and implications of the results are also presented.

Introduction: The pathological changes associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) produce changes in uniformity of the neural networks of brain white matter that result in more perceptible changes on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Increase in mean diffusivity (MD) and reduction in fractional anisotropy (FA) on DTI seen in MS patients may be due to the degradation of membrane or other cell structures. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathological changes made in the brains of MS patients using the DTI technique.Materials & methods: This study was performed on 15 patients with multiple sclerosis. To investigate the location of plaques and normal appearing white matter (NAWM) some routine protocols for the brain, including T2-FLAIR and T2, were taken and to normalize the images of DTI, the T1 MPRAGE protocol was applied. After image processing using SPM, FSL, and MedINRIA software, the data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test.Findings: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the mean of MD (mean=4.3±1.01) and FA (mean=0.24±0.05) values in MS plaques and the mean of MD (mean=2.1±1.1) and FA (mean=0.55±0.56) values in the normal white matter (NWM) tissue of the control group (P=0.00001). Comparing the data obtained from the NAWM tissue with expanded disability status scale (EDSS) of patients showed that patients with higher EDSS show higher MD values (P=0.004) and lower FA values than patients with lower EDSS (P=0.001).Discussion & Conclusion: This study showed that factors of MD and FA in DTI technique can provide valuable information as imaging biomarkers about the MS plaques.

Introduction: Beta-thalassemia is the most common genetic disease in the world. More than 3 million people are carriers of thalassemia in Iran. High frequency of consanguineous marriage could lead to high incidence of the disease in Iran. A large proportion of the health budget is devoted to the treatment of thalassemia. Thalassemia control and prevention program began in 1376. This study wants to evaluate the program in Ilam.Materials & methods: In this retrospective study, data of thalassemia carrier couples were extracted from the documents used in the national program for prevention and control of thalassemia in beginning year to 1392 and analyzed using Excel and SPSS software.Findings: A total of 55, 031 couples were screened in premarital counseling centers of Ilam University of Medical Sciences.264 couples were determined to be final suspect with frequency of 0.5%. Twenty three new affected were identified in the cities of Ilam University of Medical Sciences in the period 1376-1392. After genetic counseling, 58 couples were discouraged from marriage.Disscusion & Conclusion: Cancellation rate of the marriage has an increasing trend in the first year of the program to 1383. But, from 1383 and later the trend is decreased. Extent of genetic services in the country, including the possibility of prenatal diagnosis and therapeutic abortion could be a reason for the decreased rate of dissuading from the marriage. Genetic services have not been applied in Ilam yet.

But the relationship between the knowledge, attitude and practice of students about IDA and other demographic variables was not statistically significant (p>0.05).Discussion & Conclusion: According to the result of this study and the importance of IDA and its consequential effect on learning and educational failure, performing the educational program about IDA for this group of students seems necessary.

Introduction: Stigma of mental illness leads to the burden of disease in patients. Due to the stigma of mental illness and the life and behavior, to date, little research has been done in this area; the aim of the present study was conducted stigma and its role in the area of patient care in health system.Materials & methods: In order to find sources of stigma associated with mental illness and health systems, the databases of the National Digital Library of Medicine (Elsevier, psychinfo, Nursing index, Proquest, Scopus, Google scholar) and Persian databases including Irandoc, Iran Medex, Magiran and SID used. A total of 120 articles were obtained, among which 48 articles were selected for review.Findings: Results of the study showed that the risk factors and stigma in health care system, according to the review, including the impact of culture, lack of knowledge of health providers with experience in these patients than in patients with poor vision, lack of proper treatment, lack of empathy, communication inappropriate, not taking into account the rights of patients, lack of respect for the privacy of patients.Discussion & Conclusions: Considering the impact and consequences of stigma in healthcare, nursing managers have to deal with it and reduce the stigma of psychiatric illness in the community focus.

Introduction: Vaspin and Chemerin are the newest hormones secreted from adipose tissues that are responsible for various biological functions, particularly regulating adipose tissues. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of along session of aerobic exercise with different intensities on plasma levels of Vaspin and Chemerin in Female Sprague Dawley Rats.Materials & methods: Sixty 2-month-old female Sprague Dawley Rats with the average weight of 210 g were purchased. In order to measure the pre-test dependent variables of the study (vaspin and chemerin), blood samples were taken from 15 rats. The rest of the 45 rats were divided into three groups (each group containing 15 rats, the first group with the speed of 12 meters per minute, the second 14m/m and the third 16m/m) and in a session lasting 45 minutes, they were exercised on a special treadmill for rat. The results of the study in each stage {among the 3 training groups, in terms of time (pretest - posttest), the interaction (group´time)} were analyzed via factor analysis of variance.Findings: The results showed that there was a significant difference among vaspin plasma levels of the three groups (P=0.05) but there was no significant difference in chemerin levels (P=0.63). A significant difference was also observed between pretest– posttest vaspin and chemerin plasma levels (P=0.0001). There was a significant difference among Vaspin levels of the interaction as well (P=0.05), while no significant difference was observed in chemerin levels (P=0.53).Discussion & Conclusion: Regarding the results and findings of the present study, it can be stated that Adipocytokine response to exercise (in a single session) is not the same and the secretion of each hormone occurs in a certain threshold (of intensity and duration) of physical activity.
