Users of methamphetamine might have various dental problems. Among the users of this substance, the rate of orodental disease is higher than other people.   Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the subjects consisted of 30 individuals with a history of taking methamphetamine and 30 individuals with no such history as the controls. The population of study was those who referred to oral medicine department of dental faculty of Tabriz University over a year from October 2011 since October 2012. These patients were compared about averages of DMFT, attrition, ، xerostomia ، rampant carries, and bruxism. Two-sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were applied to evaluate differences in the means using SPSS 16 (α=0.05).   Results : Based on the results, the means of DMFT, attrition, xerostomia, rampant caries and bruxism scores were higher in the case group compared to the controls.   Conclusion : Since using the medications of this group might result in a number of side effects, it is necessary that dental practitioners be familiar with the signs and symptoms and medical complications related to these medications. Dental considerations of these patients have always been associated with a number of challenges however, it is necessary that these patients be carefully monitored and the oral manifestations associated with the use of amphetamines, including rampant caries, enamel surface erosions, xerostomia, bruxism, trismus, and tooth discolorations be dealt with.     SOURCE: URMIA MED J 2014: 25(1): 11 ISSN: 1027-3727 Methamphetamine Oro-Dental manifestation Dental consideration 2014 4 01 1 11 http://umj.umsu.ac.ir/article-1-2097-en.pdf

Traditionally, symptomatic patients with renal cysts are treated with percutaneous aspiration with or without using sclerosing agent. However, the recurrence rate is high in this procedure. Thus, we assessed the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic decortication of simple renal cysts from the clinical and radiologic points of view.   Materials & Methods : From April 2004 to July 2008, twenty seven symptomatic patients with simple renal cyst treated with laparoscopic decortication, where the wall of renal cysts resected. Complex renal cysts were excluded from the study. Vang Baker criteria were used for estimation of the severity of pain before and after operation. Radiologic improvement was considered, when, there wasn't any evidence of recurrence in CT scan taken long time after surgery.   Results : Among twentyseven patients treated with laparoscopy, %92.5 of patients had symptomatic improvement and %96.2 had radiological improvement after follow up for 22 months (3-32 months).   Conclusion: According to our study, laparoscopic decortication, as a less invasive method, has a high success rate in the treatment of symptomatic renal cysts.   SOURCE: URMIA MED J 2014: 25(50): 20 ISSN: 1027-3727 Laparoscopic trans-peritoneal decortication Laparoscopic retroperitoneal decortication Symptomatic renal cysts Renal cyst 2014 4 01 44 50 http://umj.umsu.ac.ir/article-1-2101-en.pdf

In this condition, influenza vaccination is an option that seems to contribute the patients. However, there is a lack of data regarding vaccination in SLE patients in Iran that prompted us to design a study to evaluate the impact of influenza vaccine in SLE patients. Materials & Methods: Twenty-four SLE patients were selected and underwent blood sampling for autoantibody titers before receiving influenza vaccine and rechecked 12 weeks after vaccination. All patients were monitored for any vaccination complications and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI). Results: There was no significant difference in serum level of ANA (p= 0.44), Anti Ds DNA (p= 0.98), C3 (p= 0.36) and C4 (p=0.49) in patients before and 12 weeks after vaccination. Serum level of CH50 before and after vaccination was significantly different (p= 0.002).  Conclusion: Based on this research, we didn’t observe any changes in SLEDAI or vaccination complications and considering high risk of pneumonia in SLE patients, vaccination program for this population will be better and beneficial.    SOURCE: URMIA MED J 2014: 25(55): 20 ISSN: 1027-3727 Autoantibody Systemic lupus erythematosus Influenza vaccine 2014 4 01 51 55 http://umj.umsu.ac.ir/article-1-2102-en.pdf

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of arsenic on development of visual system on mouse embryos.   Materials & Methods : In this study 30 albino mice were used in controls and experimental groups (N=15). The experimental group received 40 mg/kg intraperitoneally sodium arsenic on the 8th day of gestation. On the 10th, 16th and 19th days of the gestation the pregnant mice were sacrificed and the embryos were removed from uterus. All embryos of the groups were examined macroscopically and microscopically by H;E and immunufoluorescence staining for detection of Reduced Folate Carrier 1 (RFC1).   Results : Macroscopic observations of the 16th and 19th days in the experimental group showed anophtalmia or defect in eye ball formation. Histological examination by H;E revealed that 60% of experimental embryos belonged to (E10), 60% (E16) and 33.5% (E19) showed defects in development of different layers of eye. Furthermore, the expression of retina layer RCF 1 in the experimental group decreased in compared control.   Conclusion : These results demonstrated the association between prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic and eye defects and more likely related to a defect in RFC1.   SOURCE: URMIA MED J 2014: 25(83): 20 ISSN: 1027-3727 Arsenic Mouse RFC 1 Eye 2014 4 01 76 83 http://umj.umsu.ac.ir/article-1-2106-en.pdf

Emergency transvesical uterine section was carried out to deliver twins of a 35 year old woman in 33rd gestational age diagnosed as a case of preterm labor. Inadvertent long anterior and posterior transverse bladder openings were done before entering the uterus and both fetuses were delivered through the bladder. The injury repaired immediately with suprapubic and urethral catheterization. Six months after repairment, the patient is voiding normally. To the best of our knowledge, transvesical uterine section for delivery reported very rarely. Prompt repair of such extended bladder trauma has a significant role in the restoring of the normal bladder function .  SOURCE: URMIA MED J 2014: 25(86): 20 ISSN: 1027-3727 Bladder Intraperitoneal injury Uterine section 2014 4 01 84 86 http://umj.umsu.ac.ir/article-1-2107-en.pdf
