Materials & Methods: In the study we dealt with microbial pollution of used liquid soaps in five hospitals of Ilam city in 2010. The samples were taken by sterile tubes containing physiology serum, after this they were cultivated on Differential and base the cultures. After 18-24 hours, the initials cultures were studied for the prtent of bacteria. In order to differential separation we used usual microbiology methods. Findings: In the study in respect of microbial pollution nearly 95% of samples were positive and 38.1% negative and 2.4% unknown. The most microbial pollution in all samples was for Pseud-omonas(22.6%) and the least was Klebsi-ella(8.3%). In different units of hospitals, there was a significant difference among the units(P=0.002), and also there was a significant among different hospitals and types of microbes(P=0.002). Discussion & Conclusion: It seems that the application of guidelines for how to use soaps and the conditions of hand washing has an important role in reduction of contamination, and with attention to the contamination of main reservoir, it is essential that contamination discussion of provided soaps in factory to be addressed certainly and in the case of having quality control problem, we do more attention on production lines. cosonominal infection micr-obial contamination liquid soap hospital Ilam 2012 11 01 1 7 http://sjimu.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-773-en.pdf

These compounds can lead to allergic reactions and even cancer disease in the body. According to the afore mentioned effects and the wide range of the applica-tion of these compounds in confectionary products, we sought to compare the consu-mption of food dyes in confectionary products in the city of Qom from 2007 to 2009. Materials & Methods: Confectionary products were randomly sampled from confectionary manufacturers in the city of Qom. 342 samples in 2007, 291 samples in 2008 and 398 samples in 2009 were analy-zed and investigated. The color analyzing included the defatted samples, purification and extraction of color compounds, chrom-atography, and determining the kind of the color. Finding: Based on the findings of the study among the samples, 28.6 % of them in 2007, 28.9% in 2008 and 28.1% in 2009 contained impermissable colors. Discussion & Conclusion: The Results showed that a significant amount of the confectionary products are unsafe for consumption, annually. The high cost, instability and low nutritional value of natural colors are the reasons for the excessive use of the impermissible colors. But according to the results of this study it is seemed that most of people are not aware about the toxic effects of these colors and this may be the main reasons for the repea-ted use of these materials in confectionary products.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of yoga exercises on spinal flexibility, pain and functional disability in women with chronic lumbar disk herniation. Materials & Methods: This double-blind randomized controlled trial was performed in Zahedanin 2010. Twenty-eight patients with chronic lumbar disk herniation were randomly assigned to either a Yoga (n=14) or a general exercises group (n=14). Before and after intervention, we assessed pain through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Depression with Beck Depression Invent-ory II (BDI-II), lumbar lordosis with flexi-ble ruler, range of lumbar flexion using Modified Schober test, and disability with The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The treatment program was 16 sessions of exer-cise which lasted 8 weeks and was perfor-med twice per week.Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-test in SPSS Version 17 software. Findings: The mean pain was decreased from 6.7±1.1 to 3.4±1.4 in the yoga group and from 6.5±0.9 to 3.7±0.9 in the general group (P<0.0001). The mean disability, depression andlordosis were decreased and range of lumbar flexion was increased in both groups (P0.05). Discussion & Conclusion: The results showed that both yoga and general exerc-ises decreases pain, disability, depression and angle of lumbar lordosis and increases range of lumbar flexion in women with chronic lumbar disk herniation.

Non immune pregnant women may at risk to be infected with the parasite. The par-asite can be transmitted via placenta and causes adverse effects in fetus. The main objective of the present work was to study sero-epidemiology of Toxopla-sma infection in pregnant women refer-red to Al Zahra hospital in Tabriz. Materials & Methods: Totally 300 blood samples were collected from 18-35 years pregnant women referred to Al-Zahra hospital in Tabriz during one year. The sera were tested for IgG and IgM titration with ELISA kits. In addition, demographic cha-racteristics of the women were obtained through appropriate questionnaires. Findings: Positive IgG and IgM titers were identified in the sera of 26.33% and 0.33% of the pregnant women, res-pectively. The higher frequency of positive titers was associated with older age. In addition, 97.46% of the women with positive titer had a history of contact with cats. Discussion & Conclusion: Regarding the prevalence rate of 73.33% in non-imm-une pregnant women in Tabriz, the preventive measurements in nutrition and contact with cats should be cons-idered by the women. We recommend the sera of the pregnant women should be monitored for Toxoplasma infection at least once a year, particularly during the first trimesters of pregnancy. toxoplasma gondii IgG IgM pregnant women Tabriz 2012 11 01 55 62 http://sjimu.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-780-en.pdf
