Background & Aim: Aerobic activities and herbal supplements are used as a methods to control and reduce many diseases caused by oxidative stress, including lung diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic training and coriander seed supplementation on some indicators of oxidative stress and ATP levels in lung tissue of male rats poisoned with hydrogen peroxide. Methods: 42 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 groups: control, poisoning, poisoning+ 5 mg/kg coriander extract (supplement 1), poisoning+ 10 mg/kg coriander extract (supplement 2), poisoning + exercise, poisoning+ Exercise+ Supplement 1, Poisoning+ Exercise+ Supplement 2. Interventions included 8 weeks (5 training sessions per week) running on a treadmill for 60 minutes and injecting coriander seed extract at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg over two weeks. Tissue concentrations of ATP, MDA and PAB indices were evaluated using special kits and the data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance at a significance level of 0. 05. Results: Eight weeks of aerobic training significantly increased the concentration of ATP and significantly decreased the concentration of pulmonary PAB (P<0. 05),While it had no significant effect on MDA index (P> 0. 05). On the other hand, only 10 mg/kg of coriander extract caused a significant increase in ATP concentration and a significant decrease in PAB in lung tissue (P<0. 05). The interaction of aerobic exercise with doses of coriander seed extract also caused a significant increase in ATP concentration and a significant decrease in MDA and PAB concentration (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Despite the effect of interventions in modulating the effect of poisoning of some indicators, the greatest effect was observed during the interaction of aerobic exercise and high doses of coriander extract.

Introduction: Changes in gene expression and protein expression of the spinal-blood <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem> play an important role in the transmission and development of neuro-inflammatory responses. In order to increase the knowledge related to the role of environmental interventions affecting the tight junction and adhesive proteins of this <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem>, this study investigated the effect of four weeks of resistance training and date pollen/testosterone extract on gene expression and protein expression of occludin and cadherin in male rats. Methods: In an experimental design, 30 male Wistar rats randomly divided into 6 groups: Control,Resistance training,DPP extract,Testosterone,DPP extract+ resistance training,Testosterone+ resistance training. The amount of 100 mg/kg date pollen extract was fed to mice by gavage for 4 weeks. Also, synthetic testosterone with a dose of 2 mg/kg was used subcutaneously as a positive control. Resistance training consisted of a four-week increasing training period on a 50-step ladder with 8 to 12 repetitions per session. After the intervention, gene expression was measured by RT-PCR method and protein expression was measured by western blot method. Results: Four weeks of resistance training caused a significant increase in occludin gene expression (P=0. 010) and cadherin (P=0. 015),While it had no significant effect on the protein expression of occludin (P=0. 404) and cadherin (P=0. 647). Also, the gene expression level of two proteins increased significantly under the influence of date pollen extract and testosterone (P<0. 05). On the other hand, the protein synthesis rate of occludin (P=0. 016) and cadherin (P=0. 012) was increased only in the group receiving synthetic testosterone. Despite the fact that the highest level of gene expression of two proteins was observed when the interventions were combined simultaneously, there was no statistically significant difference between their synergistic effects (P=0. 059). However, the highest expression of occludin and cadherin protein occurred when resistance training was combined with testosterone supplementation (P<0. 05). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that DPP extract is superior to other interventions for increasing the gene expression of occludin and cadherin proteins of the <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">blood-spinalem> <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem> and testosterone for increasing the expression of these proteins. The combination of these interventions with the double promotion of the signaling process of gene and protein expression will maintain the integrity and reduce the permeability of the <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">blood-spinalem> cord <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem> in healthy male animal samples.

Introduction: Considering the importance of using indexing tools such as thesauri and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) in storage and retrieval of medical information, this study was performed with the aim to determine the compliance rate of keywords of articles published in an English-language journal Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Journal of Paramedical Sciences, with the MeSH.Methods: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study using applied method. The data gathering tool was a researcher-made checklist. In total, 1143 keywords extracted from 269 articles published in 24 issues of the journal; those keywords were compared with MeSH, and were classified in three groups: exact match, partial match and no match.Results: During the investigated years, on average, 277 keywords (24.2%) were exact matches, 409 keywords (35.8%) were partial matches, and the 457 keywords (40.0%) were not match with the terms contained in the MeSH. keywords in match or match with the entry term categories formed the largest portion of partial match keywords.Conclusion: The results show that the authors of this journal do not have sufficient knowledge on correct keyword selection with use of the MeSH, and it is necessary for them to be trained in the correct way. In addition, the editorial board of this English-language Iranian journal in the paramedical field should request authors to adjust their keywords based on the MeSH during article selection.

Introduction: There is no definite acceptible method for cranioplasty among neurosergens, yet. We examined Mersilene Mesh for cranioplasty and evaluate its efficacy.Methods: Forty traumatic patients with cranial depressed fracture were studied. They were divided two group randomly. Interventional group was treated by Madrilène Mesh. Cranial fractured bones were sutured to each other with silk. Patients were followed in 1, 3, 6 and 12 month continually. Results: Only two patients in interventional group and seven patients in control group had some looseness in cranial bone after 9 months follow up (P<0.05). There was no evidence of infection, graft rejection and wound dehisence in two groups.Discussion: It seems that Mersilene mesh use in cranioplasty is effective and useful.

Copper <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem> a new method, with <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem> and mortality efficacies, has been evaluated against C. lencoranea on orange, mahali variety in comparison to other registered molluscicides (Metaldehyde and Carbaryl baits) and weeding control + plaguing treatment. The complete randomized block design was set up, with four replications and each replicate consist of three orange trees in each parts. This study conducted in east and west parts of Mazandaran province during 2004. Treatments were initiated in middle of October with Max. Snails activity. Mortality of C. lencoranea has been obtained through Henderson-Tilton method with sampling interval of one day before and 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days after the treatments. Mortality recorded by counting alive snails on 4 shoots infested by snails according selection and marking. Analysis of variance done on mean of mortality recorded in each sampling interval and with help of SAS method grouping as well as sustainable effected of those treatments were compared. The results of snail mortalities in all treatments in citrus orchards were found significant at level of 5% (p<0.05). Effects of different treatments found maximum in 7th day of the sampling and mortality rate increased with extent of interval period. Combined analysis done on data of both places and laboratory indicated that, copper <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem> caused higher mortality effect on snail with longer persistence in comparison of other treatments investigated and placed in group a. Mean of snail control in Sari region (54.32%) was observed higher than Tonekabon (50.01%) region. In total, we can suggest that, copper <em style="font-style:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">barrierem> can consider in control of C. lencoranea in tall varieties of citrus in Mazandaran province and other infested citrus region by this snail pest too.

Nowadays, the impact of water scarcity is felt more than ever due to population growth, environmental changes, and increased industrial as well as agricultural developments.  Thus, it is imperative to harvest water from every available source such as fog. The process of harvesting water from fog which is a cost-effective method has attracted the attention of many researchers trying to increase the efficiency of this method in various ways. In this research, a practical test system is presented to investigate the influence of the mesh and the mesh retaining module on the rate of fog harvesting. 6 sets of modules and meshes were exposed to the fog flow and after taking the results, the most effective factor between the meshes and the module was determined. All factors affecting fog harvesting were kept constant during the test, and only the effects of the mesh and module were examined. Teflon yarns mesh which increased the fog harvesting by 23 to 77%, was chosen as the best mesh, while the Modular Funnel-Large Fog Collector module which increased the rate of fog collection by 7 to 9 times was considered as the best module. This unique effectiveness should be attributed to the aerodynamic property of the MF-LFC module, which uses the rate of fog flow effectively in order to increase water harvesting.
