Introduction: Scrophularia striata which grows in Ilam province is used as a traditional medicine for treatment of diseases for years. Medical properties of this plant have not been documented yet. For this reason, a study was performed on this plant In study, the healing effects of Scrophularia striata extract was investigated on open skin wound of rabbit. Materials & Methods: All parts of the plant were collected and dried. Hydroalcoholic extract of Scrophularia striata was prepared by maceration method. 36 males and female Newzeland rabbits weighing 1.2-2.06 kg were used during the study. Method of Cross et al. was used to make full thickness wound (20x20) in left flank of the animals. They were divided into 6 groups: the first group was left without treatment, the second was treated with Eucerin, in third group Phenytoin cream 1% was used and in the other groups, different concentrations of hydroalcoholic extract of Scrophularia striata(2%, 5%, 10%w/w) in Eucerin base were administrated 2 times daily. The areas of wounds were measured daily and healing percentage during all the days was compared with one wat ANOVA and Turkey. For histopathological studies, some biopsies were taken on the 7th and the last day. Findings: In no treatment and Eucerin groups, the healing was completed in 21 days. In Phenytoin %1group, the healing time was 16 days and in Scrophularia striata groups of 2%, 5% and 10% the complete wound closure was observed in 18, 17 and 16 days respectively. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between all the treated, and control and Eucerin groups, but statistical and histological studies showed that the best healing effect was from Scrophularia striata 10% extract. However, considering histological examinations and macroscopic observations, it can be suggested that Scrophularia striata extract may stimulate collagen synthesis, faster wound contraction, angiogenesis, vessel dilatation and decrease of inflammation, bleeding and edema.

  Introduction: Gestational diabetes, the most common metabolic disorder in pregnancy, causes serious complications in mothers and their fetus . So, knowing the risk factors of gestational diabetes is very important, because through understanding these risk factors it helps to establish screening programs for susceptible mothers and also early diagnosis of disorders. Furthermore, efficient control of blood sugar protects mothers against complications and consequently their fetus. The goal of our study was to evaluate the correlation between gestational diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome.

 

  Materials &Methods: This study was a case - control research. Pregnant women admitted at Akbar Abady hospital of Tehran were studied during 1998-2005. 188 women participated in this study of whom 94 mothers were put into the case group (with gestational diabetes) and the other 94 mothers were in the control group (without gestational diabetes). Then history polycystic ovary syndrome was investigated between the two groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, descriptive statistical, t- test, fisher, x2, Mann- Whitney and Odds ratio.

 

  Findings: The results of this study showed no dissimilarities between the two groups regarding the mean of age, educational level, apgar score and gravida. But there was significant difference in history olligomenorrea, kind of delivery, mean of the new-born weight and gestational age and body mass index in the two groups. Also, the results showed significant relations between those with gestational diabetes and women without gestational diabetes with the history of polycystic ovary syndrome. (p=0/03)

 �

  Discussion & Conclusion: Considering the results of our study indicating significant relations between diabetes and history of polycystic ovary syndrome, it seems necessary to establish screening programs in women with history of polycystic ovary syndrome, while early diagnosis of gestational diabetes protects mothers and their fetus against any complications.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to compare the movement skills in students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with normal students. Children with ADHD have problems as follows: 1-wriggling 2- difficulty in exercising 3- paying no attention to orders 4- colliding with others. Thus, movement destability is such students' main disorder to be resolved. Materials & Methods:In this resrech, 30 students dignosed to suffer from ADHD according to DSM-IV and Caneres questionnairewere compared with thirty healty students in terms of movement skills using the Lincon ozertsky test. Then, the data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive statistics and t-test. Findings: The Students dignosed to have ADHD, according to the results of this research, showed a weaker performance than that of the normal students. In Gross- movement, ADHD students gained 2/28 & normal students did 1/27. In Fine-movement ADHD students recorded 2/28 & normal students did 2/23. In Balance-movement ADHD students achieved 2/38 & normal students did 3/52. Discussion & Conclusion: Students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have suffered from many problems such as learning and movement disorders. Making plans to rehabilitate such potentialities in such children can help them concentrate more on their movements and behaviors. Our research findings can be usful to families and schools.

Introduction: Leishmaniosis is a parasitic disease of man and animal with different clinical performance. WHO has suggested the disease to be investigated and supported from different points of view. The treatment of leishmaniosis is still based on using different compounds of antimonite drugs which cause variety of side-ffects. Furthermore, resistance of parasites to this type of drug is an increasing problem. This is one reason along with being an epidemic disease in Ilam for our research to be accomplished. Materials & Methods: In this study, 36 patients with their own written agreements, were divided into 3 groups, each group included 12 cases. The fist group was studied as the control part-taker receiving treatment with amphotericin B, the 2nd group were treated with local formulated drug (no 1), and the 3rd group received treatment with local made drug of more concentration (no2) under consultation of a physician. To conform the presence of amastigotes in patients, we used three different methods as follows: biopsy, culture media (NNN) and Smear. Findings: Both the local made formulated drugs with two different concentration compounds showed different positive effects on leishmaniosis wounds However, the 2nd local made drug showed better results in comparison with that of amphotricin B. Regarding the drug complications, in comparison with amphotricin B, the itching around wounds in patients who had used local made formulated drugs did not experience stresses and feelings of itching, but those patients who had used chemical drug had suffered lot of itching in the area as well as a lot of stresses during treatment. Regarding the control of the wound diameter in the patients, the local made drug proved more effective than amphotricin B. Discussion & Concusion: In compound made local drug of black and white alum, sulphate of cooper %1 and butter, there is an effective factor for controlling cutanouse leishmaniosis

Abstract Introduction: Increasing the duration of admission and labor has harmful effects on mother and fetus . Lack of maternal education and preparedness increase medical intervention and create complications for both mother and baby.Therefore,Childbirth preparation classes during pregnancy can be an appropriate solution to address these problems.
