Background: Tinea versicolor is a common superficial mycosis, which is caused by lipophilic yeasts, Malessezia furfur. It is a chronic and recurrent skin disease. It occurs most commonly in young post pubertal people and in hot and humid climates (north and south provinces of Iran). Objective: Comparison of effects of ketoconazole 2% shampoo (Shafa Lab) with selenium sulfide 2.5% shampoo on tinea versicolor. Patients and Methods: Two-hundred patients with tinea versicolor were divided in 2 groups, each consisted of 100patients, one group was treated with ketoconazole 2% shampoo and the other one with selenium sulfide 2.5% shampoo Results:We found out that ketoconazole 2% shampoo was more effective (89% cure rate) than selenium sulfide 2.5% shampoo(35% cure rate). Conclusion: It seems that ketoconazole 2% shampoo is more effective than selenium sulffide 2.5% shampoo in the treatment of tinea versicolor.

In order to find out the healthy (suitable) bacterial quality of the shampoos which are made by Iranian laboratories, 52 samples of shampoos were gathered at random. This study is carried out with the collaboration of the Institute of Standard and Industrial Research of IRAN.This study intends to find out the probable Pseudomonas contamination of shampoos by using the five well -known and standard methods such as: USP, MERCK, STANDARD, ISO, ENRICHED with NF BROTH and KING AGAR.These methods were evaluated for the feasibility and practicability in IRAN.We carried out a diagnostic test in CITRIMIDE AGAR medium to authenticate the methods.This study showed that MERCK method, using the Malachite - green Broth medium is the best of these methods.The advantages of the selected method are easy detectalility of Preudomonas, it is less time consuming, less material is used, simplicity of implementation and it is economical than the other methods. Therefore this method is recommended to be used as the Iranian National standard method.This study clarifies that among 52 cases (4%) of the lot. turned out to be contaminated. If the shampoos were not monitored for sanitation and environmental safety, the Pseudomonas contamination would impair the immunity of people and especially children, elderly people, the hospitalized patients and immune compromised patients because the opportunistic a Pseudomonas bacteria is resistant to most antibiotics.

Objectives: Nowadays, health and hygiene of hair and skin are very interesting factors. Curing skin diseases, its health and freshness encourage producers use natural sources in this case. Water and mud of world salty lakes are natural products which are used in this area as a kind of products which are prepared from water, mud and salts of Dead Sea and these products are used in remedy of diseases like psoriasis, skin inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema and fungal diseases. Urmia lake respect to materials and compounds is similar to Dead Sea and from this point of view is a virgin wealth for Iran. The goal of this study was formulation of a shampoo using salts of Urmia Lake and survey of its properties in regard to foaming, viscosity, pH, moisturizing, physical stability and foam stability. Methods: For this purpose, different formulations with different percentage of shampoo components such as sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), Coconut Fatty Acid, di ethanol Amide and triethanolamine, additives and Urmia Lake salts have been prepared. In each formulation, different percent of salt (as dissolved form in water) was used and quality control tests were carried out. Results: The best formulation which was obtained in this study has proper viscosity, good level of foam was (about 85 cm), lowest possible level of EDTA, proper physical stability, and 9 percent of Urmia Lake salts (as dissolved form in water). Conclusion: formulation of a shampoo using Urmia lake salts with good properties created a possibility for future studies about their probable therapeutic effects.

Water pollution due to various chemicals substance such as anionic detergents cause different disorders in aquatic animals. To study the effects of anionic detergent (shampoo) on hematology of gold fish, 140 fishes (18-20 cm) were divided to four groups. group one as control and other three groups as tests were exposed for 21 day to 5, 10 ,15 ppm of anionic detergent (groups 2,3 and 4 respectively). Sampling was conducted at day 21 and the levels of RBC, WBC, Haematocrit, Total haemoglobin, Differential count of WBC, MCV, MCH and MCHC were determined. ANOVA with multiple ranges Duncan test were used for data analysis. The amounts of RBC number, haematocrit and haemoglobin were level was significantly higher in group I than control (p<0.05). WBC level was significantly lower in group 2 than control (p<0.05).

Detergents are of the major pollutants of aquatic biological resource and environment. This investigation study the effects of anionic detergent on the blood factors of 120 farmed yearling SHAPE sturgeon, with an average weight of 2.5±6.31 gr during short-term exposure at concentrations of 0, 5, 10 and 15 mgr in 12 aquarium of 100 liter. This study was done in spring of 1391 at the International Sturgeon Research Institute of doctor Dadman. To determine the percentage of leukocytes, RBC, WBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit, 2 Ml of blood from fish tail vein was taken at hours of 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 for review the effect of exposure time. The results showed that the blood parameters of Hemoglobin, hematocrit, neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes increased with increasing detergent concentration and exposure time from 24 hours to 96 hours, but the in white blood cells and lymphocytes significantly decreased. Results showed significant difference between treatment and control (P<0.05).Therefore, to deal with fish blood contaminants are introduced into their environment changes. With increasing detergent concentration, the fish exposed to contaminants and decline of dissolved oxygen of water, fish more activity and oxygen deficiency in the blood occurs increasing of hemoglobin and decrease in safety. There for the factors of Fish blood to deal with pollutants witch introduced into their environment will change.
