Background & Aims : According to the previous studies, stress enhances seizure attacks in epilepsy. But it is not clear that stress how and through which mechanisms enhance epileptic behaviors. In the present study effects of indirect Restraint Stress in pregnancy period of rats on infant epileptic behaviors have been investigated. Materials & Methods : Females rats (200±20gr) were divided in to two groups: 1-entire pregnant rats (control group), 2-under stress pregnant rats (stress group). In the stress group, in 15th day of pregnancy, rats were held immobile into the Plexiglas tube, twice a day and every time for an hour and for a period of three continuous days. Pilocarpin (150 mg/kg.s,c) was injected to infants of both groups, in 25th day after birth, to convey epileptic behaviors. Then epileptic behavior of each rat was observed and recorded by a digital camera for a period of 120 minutes. Results : Infants epileptic behaviors of stress group showed significant changes in comparison to control: mean duration of starting first neonatal epileptic behavior in infants of control was 5.35 ± 0.57 minutes which decreased to 3.21 ± 0.43 minutes in stress group (mean ± SEM, Mann-Whitney test). In addition, mean frequency of tonic-clonic attacks in infants of control group was 5 times and with a mean duration of 0.53 minute which increased to 8.2 times and 1.29 minutes, in infants of stress group, respectively. Moreover, mortality rate during attacks showed an increase of 21.4% in infants of stress group. Discussion : stress in pregnancy period enhances epileptic behaviors of infant rats but its mechanism requires further investigation. Source: Urmia Med J 2011: 22(1): 84 ISSN: 1027-3727

F Eghbalian [1] , MD AR Monsef [2] , MD Received: 9 June, 2009 Accepted: 30 Aug 2009 Abstract: Background & Aims: This study was performed to compare the effects and complications of single and double surface photo therapies. Materials & Methods: This study was done on 80 neonates. Infants in group one and two received single and double surface photo therapies, respectively. Bilirubin level was measured at the beginning of the study, 12 and 24 hours after phototherapy and at the releasing time. The complications of phototherapy such as hypocalcemia, thrombocytopenia, skin rash, and diarrhea were evaluated. Results: The mean total bilirubin level of single and double surface photo therapy groups at the beginning of therapy were 16.84±1.29 and 20.80±2.38 mg/dl, respectively and 15.00±1.38 and 16.75±2.34 mg/dl respectively after 12 hours of therapy. Serum bilirubin concentration decreased during phototherapy (p=0.000) and there were significant differences between two groups. After 24 hours of therapy the mean total bilirubin levels of single and double surface photo phototherapy group were 12.15±1.70 and 12.81±2.83 mg/dl, respectively. Serum bilirubin concentration decreased during phototherapy and there were significant differences between both groups. There was no significant difference between two groups during hospitalization and bilirubin decreased at releasing time. Skin rash was more frequent in double surface phototherapy group (p<0.05) . No other significant relation between two groups in hospitalization period was found. Conclusion: Double surface photo therapy was more effective in decreasing bilirubin after 12 and 24 hours but there was no significant difference between two groups in duration of hospitalization, bilirubin decrease at releasing time, and complications of phototherapy.

This study aimed to evaluate short stature in under five-year children in Asad Abadi Health Center in Tabriz. Materials & Methods: This cross sectional-descriptive study was carried out on under five year-old children who referred to Asadabadi Health Center . NCHS growth charts were used for evaluation of growth parameters. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. Statistical procedures used to analyze the data included chi-square test, logistic regression, and Pearson correlation . Differences between groups were considered significantly when p<0.05. Results: 1600 children with the mean age of 21 months, consisting of 50.1% males and 49.9% females were studied in a period of eight months. There was statistically a meaningful correlation between patents' and children's height positive family history was a risk factor for shortness of children. Also the correlation between index of height for age at birth and gestational age was statistically significant (P = 0.000). Conclusion: There is a significant association between parent’s height and the stunting of their children. In addition, positive family history is a risk factor for stunting of children.

HR Khalkhali [1] , MSc E Hajizadeh [2] , PhD A Ghafari Moghadam [3] , MD A Kazemnezhad [4] , PhD Morad Hajiyan [5] , MSc Received: 21 April, 2009 Accepted: 22 July, 2009 Abstract Background & Aims: Chronic Allograft Dysfunction is a major concern for graft loss in Renal Transplant Recipients. This paper investigated the waiting time and death-censored graft survival in renal transplant recipients with chronic allograft dysfunction. The association between short-term and long-term kidney function in this patients were studied. Materials & Methods: In a single-center retrospective study, 214 renal transplant recipients with chronic allograft dysfunction were investigated at Urmia University Hospitals from 1997 to 2005. Kidney function at each visit was assessed with GFR. We applied NKF and K/DOQI classification of chronic kidney disease staging system to determine stage of kidney disease in this group of patients. Kaplan-meiers survival analysis and log-rank test were used for data analysis. Results: The pure death-censored graft loss was 26.6% with the mean waiting time of 81.7 months. In overall, death-censored graft loss in Pts with stage 3 at the beginning of the study (start of chronic allograft dysfunction’s process) is faster than other Pts. Conclusion: The findings show that kidney function in the first year after transplantation is one of the main prognoses on death-censored graft loss. Therefore, care of renal transplant recipients in the first year increases long-term kidney survival.

V Zarrabi [1] , MD R Saloti [2] , MD Received: 18 Feb, 2009 Accepted: 22 July, 2009 Abstract Background & Aims: Renal stone is a common disease in GU system. Differential diagnoses of this problem are appendicitis, ectopic pregnancy, torsion of ovarian cyst which are important to be differentiated from each other. Sonography is a procedure for diagnosis of stone but it cannot diagnose all of the ureteral stones. Ureteral stone produces obstruction leads to increased pressure in ureter and kidney. Increasing pressure in kidney decreases compliance of this organ and manifests as an increase in renal vein resistance. In this study we aimed to calculate renal compliance in obstructed and non-obstructed kidney. Materials & Methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study we did Doppler on 33 patients with acute renal obstruction and calculated venous compliance and arterial resistive index (RI) in normal and obstructed kidney and reported the results by mean and percent. Results: The compliance in normal kidney was about 0.56 and in obstructed kidney was 0.34 so the compliance was lower in obstructed kidney. Arterial RI in obstructed kidney was above 0.63. This was below 0.62 in normal kidney. These two RIs are very near to each other though using arterial RI in comparison with using venous compliance seems to have less accuracy. Conclusion: This study showed that using renal compliance which decreases in obstruction is a suitable way for detection of obstruction.

The aim of this study was to determine the rate of polymorphisms of IFN-γ +874 and IL-10 -1082 in the normal population. Materials & Methods: 109 normal individuals were included in the study and genomic description was carried out using ASO-PCR method. Results: Allelic frequency of alleles A and T for IFN-γ +874 were 50.92% and 49.08% respectively, and the highest genotype frequency was for the genotype A/T (54.13%). Allelic frequency of A and G for IL-10 -1082 also were 50.92% and 49.08% respectively, and genotype A/G had the highest rate among different genotypes of IL-10 -1082 (96.33%). Conclusion: The alleles A and T of IFN-γ gene (+874) were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, while it was not the case for A and G alleles of IL-10 gene (-1082).

GR Najafi [1] , DVSc S Salami [2] , Ph.D A Karimi [3] , MSc Received: 10 June, 2009 Accepted: 1 Sep, 2009 Abstract Backgrounds & Aims : Diazinon as nonsystemic organophosphate insecticide is commonly used as an agent to protect fruits and vegetables. This study sought to investigate the effects of Diazinon on histological structure of the testis and fertility of the rats. Materials & Methods: Thirty five male adult rats were randomly divided into two groups: control and test. 70 mg Diazinon/kg body weight were administrated orally, once a day for 60 days. Seven micrometer tissues -thick sections of formalin fixed paraffin embedded testis- were stained using method of Weigret-Iron. Diameter of seminiferous tubules, thickness of the seminiferous epithelium, and thickness of the capsule of testis were measured . Result: Irregular shape and atrophy in seminifrous tubules were noted in treated rats between the 10th to 60th days. Disjunction and remarkable edema in interstitial connective tissue were also observed in seminiferous tubules and germinal epithelium cells. Diameter of seminiferous tubules and thickness of seminiferous epithelium were significantly decreased. Giant cell was evident in some of the seminiferous tubules by the 24th day of the study. Conclusion: The data suggest that diazinon can cause considerable atrophy in histological structure of the testis thus, morphological changes can lead to functional deficiency in males.

MB Zienaly [1] , MD MM Aghdashi [2] , MD AR Afshar [3] , MD S Masoodi [4] , MSc Received: 29 Sep, 2009 Accepted: 15 Oct, 2009 Abstract Although there are numerous studies about the effects of music on patient's recovery, less evidence is available about the effects of music on the physicians and hospital staff. It is generally believed that silence and tranquility should prevail in operating rooms and any extra noise is regarded as a distraction and can interfere with verbal communication among personnel. Do the harmonic and pleasant sounds have the same effect5? In their latest study published in Injury, Ulmann, et al indicated that tranquility in operating room does not mean strict silence and even the sound of music can help to bring about the intended tranquility in operating room6. In order to evaluate the influence of music on surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses working in the operating room, a questionnaire was designed and 300 copies were distributed among the doctors and nurses at five different hospitals in Urmia. The collected data were analyzed 70.2% of participants believed that light music improves verbal communication between personnel and 90.3% of responders claimed that music in the operating room improves their concentration. Anesthesiologists and older personnel had a tendency for low volume music. The obtained data revealed that music in low volume could improve verbal communication and concentrating ability of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other personnel working in operating rooms. An interventional study can be designed to reassess the results obtained from this questionnaire-based study.
