A new amount of data show that thyroid hormone influences on pituitary-testis axis. So in this study we investigated the effects of hypothyroidism induction by propiltiouracil (PTU) on serum levels of thyroid hormone, testosterone hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, body and testes weights. Materials and methods: 21 adult male rats divided into three groups. The control group received drinking water induced hypothyroidism groups that they received two doses of propylthiouracil (PTU) were, low dose treatment group, 1mg/100ml in drinking water and high dose treatment group, 10mg/100ml in drinking water, for 42 days. At the end of experiment the animals were weighed and then under anesthesia were sacrificed and serum samples were obtained. Testes gland were weighted and serum levels of hormones were measured by radioimmunoassay. Findings: results showed that PTU decreased levels of T3, T4 (P<0.001(, Testosterone (P<0.001(, body and testes weight (P<0.001) in treatment groups compared to control) effects dependent on dose (. Results did not show any changes of serum levels of LH and FSH in treatment groups. Discussion & Conclusion: This study suggests that induced hypothyroidism, by decreasing in thyroid hormones levels, decreases testosterone level, body and testes weight but does not affect serum levels of LH and FSH. Therefore, hypothyroidism influences on pituitary-testis axis via its effects on testes glands.

In this study, effective factors which could affect the fertility patterns among families with one or without child were investigated. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sect-ional study, 180 married women were recr-uited from many health centers by random simple sampling. Inclusion criteria were married women who had married at least 2 years ago and with no child as well as the married women who had only a child over 4 years old. Data collection instrument was a valid and reliable researcher-designed questionnaire (α=0.73) used to determine demographic data and to measure maternal attitudes toward childbearing. The data was analyzed by the SPSS software, version 16.0. Findings: Mean of score for attitude tow-ard childbearing was 48.29±13.64 and there was a significant direct relationship betw-een the score of attitude and age, age at the time of marriage, duration of marriage and education. Causes of disinclined to child bearing were noted by the highest perce-ntage of participants(83.3%) as increase in costs and economic pressures and by the lowest percentage of participants(8.3%) as fear of recurrent miscarriage and stillbirth. Discussion & Conclusion: Three important factors, that is, high costs and economic pressure, lack of governmental support and facilities for childbearing and the wrong attitude that having more children is a sign of poor social culture, were among the ones that had affected childbearing. Hence it is recommended that the authorities consider the factors in population policy making. affecting factors fertility single child families families without children Shahr-e-kord 2013 12 01 63 70 http://sjimu.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-1435-en.pdf

Serological monitoring of individuals rece-iving and giving the liver transplant is necessary for prevention, early diagnosis and treatment strategies and reducing the prevalence of infection. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of CMV serology in pediatric candidates for liver transplantation in Namazi Hospital of Shiraz. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional and retrospective study was carried out on the serological data collected from 98 child patients less than 18 years old who had referred to the Namazi Hospital of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and were candidates for liver transplantation during 2006-2009. The serological parameters, IgM and IgG CMV were determined by im-munoassay methods. Findings: Of 98 child patients, 58 were male and 40 were female. Their most com-mon symptoms were jaundice and ascites. The most underlying diseases leading to liver transplantation were cryptogenic cirr-hosis, duct bile atresia and tyrosinemia. Percentages of candidate children of liver transplant with positive IgM and IgG CMV were 9.92% and 3.17%, respectively and that of candidate children with negative IgM and IgG CMV were 1.7% and 7.82, respectively. The positive serology along with the high prevalence of the disease had been caused that the high risk patients (the positive donor and negative receptor gro-ups) comprised a lesser percentage of our patients because the transplant receptors with negative serology were only 7.1%. Discussion & Conclusion: The high preva-lence of positive CMV amongst candidates for liver transplantation confirmed the need for appropriate and continuous programs to prevent the side effects of the infection through early diagnosis and treatment. Th-ese measures are essential to have a positive outcome in candidate patients for liver tran-splantation. cytomegalovirus liver transplantation the prevalence of serology 2013 12 01 125 133 http://sjimu.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-1466-en.pdf

This study aimed to determine the rel-ationship between nostalgia for the family and compatibility among students living in the dormitories of Shahr-e-kord University of Medical Sciences. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive study, all students admitted to Shahr-e-kord University of Medical Sciences during 2008 were included. The nostalgia for family and compatibility data were provided through validated homesickness questionnaires. The questionnaires were completed by the fres-hman students in a timetable manner. The data were analyzed by ANOVA, t-indep-endent and Spearman tests using SPSS vol.16 software. Findings: Totally, 121 students were incl-uded in the study in which 63.6% was fem-ale and 36.4% were male. The average sco-re of nostalgia for the family in females was 54.50±13.99, significantly higher than in males (41.78±15.49, P≤0.001). But the mean score of compatibility was not diffe-rent between the two groups (P≥0.05). Also, there was a significant correlation between mean score of nostalgia and compatibility. With increasing nostalgia for family, the compatibility was also being decreased. Discussion & Conclusion: Results of the present study, in cases the nostalgia for the family was higher, compatibility with uni-versity were more difficult. It seems that the family awareness may be useful in the prevention of negative behaviors. In this way, families could foster the sense of ind-ependency, to create the conditions in which their children to overcome the prob-lems related to nostalgia for family. nostalgic family compatibility dormitory students 2013 12 01 160 166 http://sjimu.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-1481-en.pdf

The present study aimed to determine family physicians' attitude and practice toward prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Methods: A descriptive analytical study of 67 family physicians working in urban and rural health centers of Ilam University of Medical Sciences was conducted. A validated questionnaire completed by GPs in three months interval was used for data collection. Findings: From physicians contributing to the project, 55 completed questionnaires (response rate 78%). They knew important risk factors for CVD but had different attitudes toward efficacy of treatment. Majority of physicians (75.8%) had regularly ordered cholesterol measurement as part of their initial assessment for patients. When patients have an initial satisfactory cholesterol level, (26)47.3% re-measured it annually, (2)3.6% after 2 years, and (27)49.1% every 5 years. Urban physicians compared to rural physicians, were more likely to believe the effectiveness of relationship with patients to influencing preventive practices (OR = 3.59, CI95%: 1.57 to 10.99, P= 0.008). Conclusions: Despite of common attitudes about risk factors of CVDs, family physicians had different views on effectiveness of those methods. Family physicians' practice was different about the goals for treatment of hypertension, LDL and TG. Variations that were observed in family physicians' attitudes and practice could influence intervention strategies.

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of physical and mental disorders in elderly people in Ilam.Materials & Methods: In a cross-sectional study, using cluster sampling a sample of 1012 participants from Ilam province was recruited. Data was collected with using a questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS version 17 and parametric and non-parametric tests.Findings: The mean body mass index, was 25.72  4.48 kg/m2, of them, more than half (55.2 %) were either overweight or obese. The most prevalent physical and mental disorders were history of arthritis72.8%)), blood pressure (53.0%), vision problem (49.8%), history of infectious disease (43.9%), sleep disorder (40.1%), heart disease(36.1%), urinary disorders (30.6%), history of mental illness(24.6%), respiratory disorders (22.5%), diabetes (14.8%) and stroke (12.6%) respectively. Falling from height with 18% was the most important accident in our study sample.Discussion & Conclusion: Physical problems in elderly people of Ilam province are moderately similar to other reports across the country. The main difference was due to low socioeconomic status resulting from lower income in these areas.

The len-gth of muscle fibers provides an area for joint range of motion that is concerned with Pilates exercises developed by Jos-eph Pila-tes. These exercises include stre-ngthing and stretching motionsand incre-ase breathing. Materials & Methods: This research inten-ded to investigate effects of Pilates on so-me indices of body composition and flexi-bility in non-athleticwomen 25-35 years old. The women and exercise protocol we-re as follow: 15 case women (mean of age, weight and height was 30.9 years, 59.93 kg and 165cm, respectively) underwent 8 we-eks of Pilates exercise and 10 control wo-men (mean of age, weight and height was 31.3 years, 59.63 kg and 162.3 cm, respectively)did not perfor-mPilates exer-cise. K-S test was usedto determine the normal distribution of data. Covariance test was used to determine the effect of the dependent variables. The effect of cova-riate variables was adjusted using simple linear regression. Finding: Pilates exercises demonstrated a significant effect on BF % in non-athletic women (f=19.7, P=0.001). However, pila-tes exercises had no significant effect on WHR in non-athletic women (f=3.96, P=0.06). A pilates training course had a significant effect on BMI % in non-athletic women (f=4.54, P= 0.044). Also, a course of pilates training had a significant effect on flexibility in non-athletic women (f=11.5, P=0.03). Discussion & Conclusion: The results showed that Pilates exercises has a posi-tive influence on flexibility, BF% and BMI % but has no significant effect on WHR.
