Introduction: Nitrate and nitrite are considered as ground water pollutants in recent years due to the increasing the industrials, agricultures and as well as municipal wastewaters. The concentration of these pollutants in ground water is increasing. The aim of this study was to investigate the nitrate and nitrite concentration in Ilam Township.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was carried out on 60 drinking water wells at the various location of Ilam. 60 water samples were collected and the content of nitrate and nitrite of the samples was determined with spectrophotometer (DR-5000). The data was finally analyzed by SPSS and Arc view GIS softwares.
Findings: The findings showed that the concentration of nitrate and nitrite in 98.33% of the samples was lower than the standards and 1.67% of the samples had the ions concentration higher than the standards. The highest concentration of nitrate ions (10.5 mg/l on the basis of N) was attributed to the well studied at Haft Cheshmeh Village located in the agricultural area. The highest concentration of nitrite ions (1.19 mg/l on the basis of N) was also belonged to the well studied at Abza Village located in the agricultural area. There was no significant difference between the concentration of nitrate (p-value=0.96) and nitrite (p-value=0.71) among the various area (agricultural, industrial and urban).
Discussion & Conclusion: It was concluded that the water quality studied was now corresponded to the Iran drinking water standards. Nevertheless, the monitoring of these water resources is essential and treatment and sanitary disposal of wastewaters most be considered.

Introducion: Pneumonia is still the most common cause of human death due to infectious disease. The causative agent of pneumonia is often undetectable. Regarding the need of correct and in time treatment of patients suffering from CAP, we carried out this study to evaluate the clinical, laboratory and radiologic findings in adults suffered from acute community acquiredPneumonia.
Materials and methods: In this study we evaluated 152 patients with mean age 60.86( 19-92 ) year, with initial clinical diagnosis of Community Acquired Pneumonia)CAP (presented to the Emergency department. A check-list was completed for each patient based on their demographic informations,. Finally we compared the diagnostic value of different finding with each other. The data was collected, entered into SPSS and was analyzed by (α=0.05).
Findings: Acute bacterial CAP as a final diagnosis was confirmed in 50% of the patients under study. The most common clinical signs and symptoms were fever, cough, sputum and abnormal breath sounds on examination. Microbiologically, among 121 cases whom specimens were cultured, 20 cases were culture positive for lung pathogens. The most common germ was Staphylococcus Aureus (7 cases ), then Pneumococcus, Klebsiella ، pseudomonas and Moraxella Catarrhalis were the next. The most common radiologic pattern noted was petechial infiltration (42.8%) then lobar infiltration (9.2%) and in 23% of patients no abnormal radiologic finding was noted. In this study laboratory diagnosis had sensitivity = 22/37% and specificity = 96.05%. For radiologic diagnosis sensitivity = 100% and specificity = 89.47%, in case of CRP positive sensitivity = 90.79% and specificity = 50%.
Discussion and Conclusion: in this study CXR was the best way for the diagnosis of CAP., If this diagnostic test was inaccessible, valuable clinical signs and symptoms which were cough, sputum, fever and abnormal breath sounds in combination with. CRP and WBC count are beneficial in of CAP.

Aim: There are some reports in traditional medicine concerning the anti-inflammatory effect of Zingiber officinale. In the present study with the aim of decreasing analgesic dose of Morphine, analgesic effect of different doses of ginger hydroethanolic extract alone and associated with Morphine were evaluated by Tail-Flick in rats.
Material and Methods: Animals were divided randomly into six groups (n=6). 30min after treatment, Rats were placed into restrainer and then transferred into the Tail-Flick apparatus. Results were expressed as mean±SEM. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test. Statistical significance was considered at P<0.05.
Results: The Data have shown that the ginger extract relieved pain in tail-flick test (P˂0.001). Also this result was shown the extract combined with morphine (P˂0.05).
Conclusion: Our data show that hydroethanolic extract of ginger has an important antinociceptive effect that possibly through the intervention of the central and peripheral systems involved in pain pathways can lead to decrease pain in rats.
On the basis the results obtained in this study, it could be suggested that the ginger extract potentiates morphine increase antinociceptive effect and this means that the opioid system may be involved in the analgesic effect of this plant extract. Also due to the effects of morphine, Combination Extract and Morphine can decrease doses of Morphine, therefore can be able decrease side effect of this drug.

Despite advances in diagnosis and therapies, cancer is still the leading cause of death worldwide. The etiology of cancer is complex, and both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the complicated scenario. More recently, a new class of small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs (miRs or miRNAs) has been linked to several human diseases, including cancer. MicroRNAs are involved in eukaryotic gene regulation, either by translational inhibition or exonucleolytic mRNA decay, targeted through imperfect complementarity between the microRNA and the 3′_ untranslated region (3′_UTR) of the mRNA. Since their ability to potentially target many of human mRNA, it is likely that microRNAs are involved in almost every biological process, including cell cycle regulation, cell growth, apoptosis, cell differentiation and stress response. In cancer, miRNAs function as regulatory molecules, acting as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. The possibility to modulate microRNA expression both in vitro and in vivo by developing synthetic pre-microRNA molecules or anti-microRNA antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide (AMO) has suggested the intriguing and promising perspective of a possible use in therapeutic strategies.

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world and it caused by an intracellular protozoan called Toxoplasma gondii. This parasitic infection is usually asymptomatic in adults, but it become complicated if fetus infection occurred. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in Babol, northern Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study during the years 2012-2013, 175 pregnant women in the first trimester of their pregnancy participated. Two ml blood was obtained from each participant and serum was separated. Then, anti-Toxoplasma antibodies were measured using ELISA method. Participants' demographic information and the risk factors were collected by questionnaire. Anti-Toxoplasma antibodies were measured in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy for who attended to the study.
Results: The mean of age was 27.4 ± 9.5 years. 106 cases (60.6 %) had anti- Toxoplasma gondii antibodies (IgG) and 64 women (36.6 % ) had no specific antibody. The prevalence of infection was different in relation with age and location, but the difference is not statistically significant (p >0.05). Also, a statistically significant difference between prevalence of infection and other risk factors, such as abortion was not demonstrated. No case of acute Toxoplasma infection in the mother or congenital toxoplasmosis was reported.
Conclusion: This study showed that over fifty percent of Toxoplasma infection occurs in twenty-five years of age. Furthermore, it showed that 36.6% of the studied population (pregnant women) was seronegative. Therefore, Toxoplasma infection should be screened in pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy in order to perform preventative measure of congenital toxoplasmosis.

Abstract
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the important agents of many infections in hospitals and society. Increasing Staphylococcus aureus resistance to antibacterial drugs is one of the major health concerns, therefore studying antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus is very important and it has a main role in preventing creation of resistant strains.
Materials and Methods: The antibiotic resistance of 150 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from various clinical specimens was determined by disk agar diffusion (DAD) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Statistical analysis of data has performed by SPSS and Microsoft Office Excel software.
Findings: Using the DAD method, 77/33% (116/150) of the Staphylococcus aureus isolates were resistant to Methicillin and 47/33% (71/150) were resistant to oxacillin. The results indicated that primer MR3,4 was more appropriate than primer MR1,2 for the detection of mecA gene in MRSA.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study can provide guidance for physicians toward a more appropriate treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections in Iran, thereby preventing the emergence of further antibiotic resistance among Staphylococcus aureus. Our results also revealed the need for further investigations using a higher number of specimens representing a wider variety of locations to determine the antibiotic resistance patterns in our state more precisely.

Background and Objective Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as stroke, seizures, dementia, and cognitive impairment. Berberine, a natural isoquinolne alkaloid, is reported to exhibit beneficial effect in various neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Hyperglycemia through Enzymatic and non-enzymatic processes induces glucose spontaneous oxidation and by stimulating the production of active oxygen and nitrogen lead to oxidative stress. Also overproduction of ROS can cause to DNA and proteins damage and affected function of receptors, enzymes, transport proteins, and inactive antioxidant defense system enzymes or enzymes involved in the repair.
Material and Methods: In this study, the male wistar rats (n = 90) were randomly allocated into five groups: control, control berberine-treated (100 mg/kg), diabetic, berberine-treated diabetic (50, 100 mg/kg) groups. Diabetes was induced intraperinoneally STZ administration at the dose of 60mg/kg. Berberine was orally administered at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg/day one week after STZ injection for a period of 8 weeks. Blood samples were taken from the tail vein 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks after STZ injection to measure blood glucose levels. Lipid peroxidation, nitrite levels and superoxid dismutase activity were evaluated as biomarkers of oxidative stress. Data were analyzed by using Prism-5, one way ANOVA and Tukey tests.
RESULTS:
Eight weeks after diabetes induction we observed an increase in lipid peroxidation, decreased superoxide dismutase activity, and elevated nitrite levels in the hippocampus of STZ-diabetic rats relative to levels in the control brains. In contrast, chronic treatment with berberine (50 and 100 mg/kg, p.o., once daily) lowered hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and prevents the up regulation of GFAP in brain of diabetic rats.
Conclusion: the present study demonstrates treatment with berberine resulted in an obvious reduction of oxidative stress in hippocampus of STZ -induced diabetic rats

Abstract
Introduction: Water treatment by membrane methods such as reverse osmosis is used by people in the region that the quality of drinking water is not suitable. The low quality of water in Abadan city is resulted in the use of water treatment centers with reverse osmosis (RO) systems and distribution of water by portable tanks over the city. In this study, the microbial quality of product water supplied by the treatment centers and portable water tanks was examined.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the water treatment centers and portable water tanks over six months (summer and autumn 2012) in Abadan city. A total of 159 samples were taken and examined by the standard procedures. The parameters of E.coli, coliform, TDS, EC, pH, residual chlorine and turbidity were measured in this work.
Results: The results showed that 2% of water treatment centers and 5% of portable tanks were contaminated by E.coli microorganism. The residual chlorine and turbidity of water samples were also undesirable in the 92% and 87% of the tested samples, respectively. But, the results of the EC, TDS and PH analysis of the water samples showed that the quality of these parameters were in the range of the national and international standards.
Discussion and Conclusion: Despite more microbial contamination of water in the portable water tanks toward the water treatment centers, the statistical analysis did not show the significant difference between them (P-value>0.05). But, due to the high microbial contamination observed in the portable tanks, the adding the disinfectants into the water tanks and educating the portable tanks operators to rise of their awareness can be effective in reducing the secondary bacterial infections.

Introduction: Human vagina represents a
dynamic ecosystem dominated by certain
species of Lactobacillus. These microorganisms
restrict the growth of pathogens by
using properties of steric exclusion and
inhibitory substance production. Women
with reduced numbers of lactobacilli usually
experience serious complications including
bacterial and fungal infections.
External application of these medicines
causes appropriate growth of Lactobacillus
which consequently reduces the infections.
The aim of this research is to compare the
application of Povidone iodine and Clotrimazol
cream on vaginal infections.
The aim of this research is comparison of
treatment with Povidone-iodine and clotrimazole
on
Materials & Methods: Vaginal discharge of
women referring to Rasht’s Alzahra hospital
was transferred to lab. Samples were
plated on sabouraud dextrose agar medium
for isolation of fungi. Specific tests were
done for the study of Candida albicans.
Also, different dilution of povidone-iodine
and clotrimazole were tested on samples.
Findings: According to results of culture
medium, clotrimazole had better effect on
Candida albicans in comparison with
povidone-iodine.
Discussion & Conclusion: Due to the side
effects and unpleasant picture of povidoneiodine
usage, clotrimazole is suitable against
Candida albicans infections.

The protective effects of zinc on malathion-induced acute oxidative injury in male rats
Abstract
Introduction: Malathion is one of the most toxic organophosphorus insecticides (OPIs). OPIs may induce oxidative stress in various tissues leading to generation of free radicals and alteration in antioxidant system. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible protective effects of Antioxidant effects of zinc were evaluated against malathion-induced oxidative damage in male rat.
Materials & Methods: Rats received malathion (250 mg /kg/day, IP) and zinc (5 mg/kg/day, IP) in combination or alone. 20 male rats were equally divided in to 4 groups (5 rats each). Group I (control), while Group II was given malathion. Animals of Groups III received only zinc. Group IV was given zinc+ malathion once for acute test. After treatment, blood was isolated. Cholinestrase activity (ChE) and oxidative stress marker such as total thiol groups (TTG) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) concentration were measured. Results: Malathion reduced activity of ChE enzyme, TTG and TAC in blood. The changes in TTG and TAC, were restored by zinc.
Conclusion:d. It is concluded that oxidative damage is the mechanism of toxicity of malathion that can be recovered by zinc.

Introduction: Lung cancer is one of the main
causes of death among cancers worldwide.
Since the most of current treatments for
cancer are inefficient and have several side
effects, finding an effective and alternative
treatment has a great importance. To this
end, medicinal plants have gained a special
significance in recent years. The aim of this
study was to examine the inhibitory effects
of hydro-alcoholic extract of Thymbra spicata
on the growth of lung cancer cell line
SK-Mes-1.
Materials & Methods: After cultivation of
SK-MES-1 cells, these cells were treated
with the several doses of hydro-alcoholic
extract of Thymbra spicata for 24, 48, 72
hours to quantify IC50 value. After treatment,
MTT was performed. Furthermore, to
evaluate DNA fragmentation, DNA was
extracted 24 hours after treatment and
electrophoresis was done on agarose 1%.
Findings: The results of MTT indicated that
this extract has a dose-dependent cytotoxic
effect on SSK-MES-1 cells. IC50 of this
extract was determined as 110 microgram/
ml for SK-MES-1 cells. MTT results at
48 and 72 hours had a no significant difference
with 24 hours. Also, treatment with
this extract had no any effect on DNA fragmentation.
Discussion & Conclusion: Results of this
study indicated that hydro-alcoholic extract
of Thymbra spicata could inhibit the growth
of lung cancer cell SK-MES-1 through direct
cytotoxic effects. Further studies are suggested
to be conducted on cell growth pathways
to determine the molecular mechanisms
of this inhibitory effect.

Nowadays, excessive use of antibiotics in
the treatment of human and animal diseases
has caused bacteria’s multidrug resistant
rise against antibiotics. Additionally, new
antibiotics’ consumption involves new
resistant genes that can shortly spread
among other bacteria and need new
antibiotics for its control and this requires
spending millions of dollar.Methicillin -
resistant staphylococcus is one of the mos
invasive bacteria that quickly become
resistant to the new generation of
antibiotics. Bacteriophages are viruses that
infect and replicate inside bacteria and
finally lyse the host cells. Phage entry into
the host bacterial cell requires a specific
receptor. Phages are not able to identify
other cells especially eukaryotic cells.

Introduction: E. coli is one of the most frequent causes of nosocomial infection .Antimicrobial resistance leads to failure in treatment of hospital infections caused by E. coli. Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBLs) is one of the causes antibiotic resistance in this bacteria. The enzymes are predominantly plasmid mediated and are derived from TEM and SHV type enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of blaTEM genes in ESBL-producing E. coli strains isolated from admitted patients in six hospitals in Rasht, Iran. Materials and Methods: All 160 clinical samples have been taken from various samples of hospitalized patients after diagnosis of E. coli, antibiotic resistance was surveyed by Kirby-Bauer method. For resistant isolates, double disk phenotypic confirmatory test was carried out in order to diagnosis ESBL-producing strains. Then from ESBL-producing strains, DNA extracted And blaTEM genes were detected using PCR. Finding :Among 160 clinical isolates of E. coli which were collected, the maximum resistance to Amoxicillin has been observed in all strains, and all were susceptible to Imipenem, and 51.9% of strains were ESBL positive, that 27 strains (32.5%) of blaTEM genes were observed using PCR. Discussion ;Conclusions :In this study, more than 50% were detected as ESBL-producing strains, which More than half of the isolates were blaTEM positive. Comparing these results with other studies in this field shows a direct relations between development of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics and genes transfer such as bla TEM.

Introduction: hospital as a firm has got a both income and cost. on other hand, health cost will take a great share of family expenditure. So, the hospitals are obliged to apply and use cost-benefit analysis to increase efficiency and productivity accordingly, these institution managers, have to be aware of hospital cost function.
Material and methods: this research try to estimate the regression function of hospital cost based on econometrics method with the help of 14 main index which will affect hospital cost in 8 governmental hospitals of Ilam province during 2003-2013. It worth to mention that Translog function specification has been applied in the estimation.
Findings: The results indicates that relative cost of Ilam hospital relates to labor -capital price and quantity of production positively during 200/-2013. Besides, since the coefficient are meaningful at a: .05 , so it shows that variables like the emergency rooms, equipments ,buildings ,bedridden time, releasing and mortality rates has reciprocal effect on hospital cost. 10 percent increase in quality of services leads to 34 percent increase in hospital cost.
Discussion and Result: Since there is a direct relationship between quality of services, relative cost of labor and investment and hospital cost so, in order to decrease the hospital cost, one of the following two effective factors including labor force or investment should be decreased. labor force includes the number of nurses, And investment includes equipments, building, and so forth. production decrease has a direct relationship with decrease in number of visited, bedridden, and released patients, and decrease in none of them is acceptable. so the labor relative price decrease can be considered as the best solution for decrease in hospital relative cost which is obtainable via change in condition of labor engagement in hospitals, application of the lowest wage rule, and annual wage increase .

Introduction: The prevalence of urinary tract infection in women is more observed rather than in man and mostly half of women have experienced it in their lifetime. On one hand, understanding the regional prevalence of pathogens and antibiotic resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics is effective to proper selection of antibiotics and infection control. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of urinary tract infections, bacterial factors and antibiotic resistance.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive - cross sectional study was conducted on urine samples from 765 women referred to the Dezful Razi laboratory in 2012. Cultivation, isolation and identification of bacteria were performed using standard bacteriological methods, then the antibiotic resistance in bacteria E.coli was studied using antibiogram tests through agar disk diffusion by Kirby-Bauer method.
Findings: The number of 765 samples studied, 160 (20.91%) were reported positive. Escherichia coli with 106 cases (66.25%), Klebsiella 33 cases (20.63%), and Staphylococcus six cases (4.38%) were identified as urinary tract infections. Most Escherichia coli resistance was to ampicillin (96.55%) and the least resistance was to nitrofurantoin (11.12%).
Discussion ;Conclusion: Escherichia Coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infection that is highly resistant to ampicillin. The resistance can be observed in the case of antibiotics that are used more. The emergence of a new antibiotic resistance is an issue that should be taken seriously.

Cognitive emotion regulation strategies in processing suicidal thoughts
Abstract
Background: Suicide as a major issue is considered in teens and young, because have been reported the second or fourth most common cause of death in this age group. This study examined coping-emotional in suicidal thoughts and attempts.
Method: The research of multi-stage cluster sampling to select the sample was used. All students at would be Khurazmi population. The sample size was 250(n = 101 male students and 149 female students). Instruments included the short form of emotional and cognitive regulation questionnaire and suicidal ideas Questionnaire. The data is performed in order to analyze the results of stepwise, regression is used.
Results: Results show the high correlation of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the idea of suicide ideation. Also compatible strategies for coping with suicidal ideas were correlates and according to awareness of their emotion, this correlation varies.
Conclusions: The findings of this study show that none of the emotional strategies singly anticipate suicidal ideation. But the individual understanding and control of emotions, can predict suicidal ideas. Thus, training programs, educational and emotional healing must pay attention to recognize cognitive emotion to the prevention of suicidal ideas.

Meteorological data was taken from aerology directorate of Ilam province and for tracking of dust storms, satellite pictures were applied. Findings: Mean ±SD of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1, during collection data, were 146.6±139. 3, 29.7 ± 25.3 and 10±5.7μg/m3 respectively. The mean proportion of PM2.5/PM10, PM1/PM10 and PM1/PM2.5 were 0.231, 0.108 and 0. 418 during study period and 0.191, 0.052 and 0.269 during dust storm days respectively. The concentration of PM10 was more than standard fair weather during 83 days and AQI index values indicated dangerous conditions in 5 days, during year of the study. According to our findings, Iraq country particularly Nainava and Al- Anbar provinces were the main sources of dust storms of Ilam province. Discussion & Conclusion: This study indicates the dust storm events situation in Ilam city and its negative impact on air quality, which can have harmful effects on population health. Therefore it is necessary to determine of dust storm effect on health and ways to deal with it are more studies done. Dust storms also create an increase in PM2.5-10 particles resulting in a reduction of PM2.5/PM10 proportion. The results of this study can be used by health policy makers for design of preventive issues however, international or regionnal cooperation are needed for any interventional action against this harmful condition.
