Abstract
Introduction: Parasitic diseases could be one of the common problems of human society in any time in every place. The animals can passed this infection to human as zoonotic disease. Cats are one of the most important animals that living and eating long with human in society. Therefore feline parasitic zoonosis is threatened human health and cause death and serious disease. For the reason, the present study evaluated the current status of major canine parasitic zoonosis in this region. Materials and methods: Fifty stray cat, road accidentally, were collected from different location of Ilam city. Within the period of one year, their internal spacemen were checked for agent parasitic and their tissues proceeds for histopathological study. Results: Out of 50 stray domestic cats, 14 (28%) male and 36 (72%) were female. Ten species of internal-parasite like helminthes in majority and protozoan in minority were detected in the examined cats. Overall 48 cats (96 %) were infected with at least one of the parasites. The major parasites were as follow: Nematode (Toxocara cati 32.4%, Toxocara leonina 6.2% and Physaloptera praeputialis 4.5%), Cestoda (Dipylidium caninum 27.10%, Mesocestoides lineatus 14.2%, Taenia taeniaformis 6.2%, Joyeuxiella echinorhyncoides 8.3% and Taenia hydatigena 1.1%), and Protozoa (Isospora felis 21.2%, Haemobartonella felis 2.34%). There was no significant difference in infection rate between male and female cats. Conclusion: Our result indicates that for controlling and preventing of zoonosis disease, more attention should be given to these feline infections.

Abstract
Introduction: Depression has multifactorial characters including brain-behavioral disorders, alteration in cognitive psychomotor and emotional process. Millions of people are worldwide suffering from this illness. This disease happens in all ages of men and women. This research tries to introduce a traditional medication in comparison with common chemical anti-depressant drugs. This experiment was designed to evaluate probably the antidepressant effect of Citrullus colocynthis fruit extraction.
Materials and methods: Thirty-two male mice (Balb/c) was randomly divided to four groups (n=8 each). Animals adapted and treated to diazepam, imipramine, aqueous and hydro alcoholic extract of Citrullus colocynthis fruit. All administrations were done via intraperitoneal 0.2ml/animal. Plant material after grinding was extracted with ethanol and evaporated under reduced pressure. Tail suspension test was carried out to assay the antidepressant effect of plant extraction in animals. The test was carried on before, and as well as 30, 60 and 120 minutes after injections.
Results: Our data indicated that after intraperitoneal administration of aqueous and ethanol extract, immobility duration exhibits statistically significant increase compared to agitation phase in all times after injection(P<0.05). Ethanol extract reduced statistically agitation time in 30, 60 and 120 min after injection compared to imipramine. Both aqueous and ethanol extract elevated immobility in minute 60(P<0.5).
Conclusion: The present study suggested that Citrullus colocynthis extract could possess potential antidepressant and sedative effects which would be of therapeutic interest for using in the treatment of patients with depressive disorders. We suggest more research in this regard.

Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes is one of the usual medical problems that had an important negative effect on patient’s health. Researches demonstrate that there is a wide gap between recommended medical actions and received care by patients with diabetes. The aim of study was to assess the quality of care provided to patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 180 people with type 2 diabetes in diabetic’s clinics using convenience sampling method in Tabriz, Iran in 2011. Using a questionnaire we assessed the reported adherence to minimum recommended annual care for 23 processes indicators based on Iranian Diabetes Guidelines.
Results: The proportions of the participants who received recommended annual care for all three top clinical and all six top lifestyle indicators were 82.26% and 43.96%, respectively. For lifestyle and management indicators, reported adherence rates to guidelines were low (38.9% for medication review, 67.7% for self-management evaluation, 55% for physical activity review, and 58.3% for nutrition consultation). From the participants' perspective, most of the participants (87%) had well-controlled diabetes.
Conclusion: A substantial proportion of people with type 2 diabetes indicated receiving suboptimal care and there is a notable gap between their expectations and what they have actually received in most aspects of the provided care.

Abstract
Introduction: Dicrocoeliasis is a common disease of bile ducts and gallbladder of domestic and wild ruminants. This disease is caused by different species of dicrocoelium including Dicrocoelium dendriticum. The aim of this study was to identify pathological damages and molecular features associated with this parasite in ruminants.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 180 fresh adult D. dendriticum worms were collected from 45 infected livers of slaughtered cattle, sheep, and goats in three western provinces of Iran. After histopathological examination, a 963 bp fragment (28S rRNA [MRT1] gene) was amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The amplified fragment was digested by Trul1 restriction enzyme to evaluate through Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method.
Results: Based on histological examination, hyperplasia of mucosal glands and swelling of bile ducts of infected livers were observed. In all studied samples, a 963-bp fragment was produced by PCR. Based on PCR-RFLP, the PCR products were digested by Trul1 restriction enzyme producing four fragments (116 bp, 145 bp, 293 bp, and 409 bp) all of which were related to D. dendriticum. Sequencing of the obtained 28S rDNA fragments showed that all of them were completely similar, and comparing them with the Gene Bank sequences showed 97% to 100% similarity between homogeneous fragments. The obtained sequences were registered in the Gene Bank with the accession numbers of MT539114, MT539115, and MT539116.
Conclusion: According to the present study, D. dendriticum is the predominant parasite infecting ruminants in west of Iran.

Abstract
Introduction: Lead is one of the most important heavy metals polluting the environment and it enters the body of humans and animals through digestion and breathing and has toxic effects on different body tissues. In the present study, the protective properties of Aloe vera plant gel in the pituitary tissue following lead acetate poisoning were investigated.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups including; The control group: (normal saline, IP), lead acetate group: (20 mg/kg/day, IP), lead acetate-Aloe vera group: lead acetate (20 mg/kg/day, IP) + Aloe vera gel (400 mg/kg/day, oral) and Aloe vera group: Aloe vera gel (400 mg/kg/day, oral). After six weeks, the rats were euthanized and the pituitary glands from each animal were dissected. For the microscopic examination of tissue sections, hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed.
Results: The results of the present study showed that treatment with lead acetate caused changes such as weight loss (P < 0.05), atrophy, and hyperemia, as well as tissue changes, including a general decrease in the number of cells in the pituitary gland (P < 0.05). Administration of Aloe vera gel (400 mg/kg) improved all the microscopic complications and disorders and macroscopic changes caused by lead acetate in the pituitary tissue.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that Aloe vera played an ameliorative role in the lead acetate-mediated pituitary injury in rats.
