Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 903 families from different cities of Ilam were selected through multistage cluster sampling. The families were selected from each city separately and each head of family was interviewed. The instruments for data collection included general and economic questionnaires and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Results: The participants of the study had an average age of 32.67±9.45and an average general health of 28.48±12.1. There was a negative and meaningful correlation between monthly income and social contribution disturbance (p<0.05, r = -0.1) and a direct and meaningful correlation between monthly income and general health (p<0.05, r = 0.1). According to the results of Logistic Regression Model, desired general health for married people was 1.98 times more than single individuals, 0.46 times more for males than females, and for groups with medium or poor economic conditions it was 0.84and 0.82times more than those with good economic conditions Conclusion: In order to improve people's mental health, it is recommended that health care officials take this matter for granted more than ever through the implementation of programs such as life skills training, stress resistance skills training, and helping individuals to be able to adapt themselves to their life environment.}, Keywords = {General Health, Economic Factors, General Health Questionnaire, Ilam}, volume = {2}, Number = {1}, pages = {1-8}, publisher = {ilam university of medical sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-65-en.html}, eprint = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-65-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Basic Research in Medical Sciences}, issn = {2383-0506}, eissn = {2383-0972}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Maleki, Farajolah and Azizian, Mitra and Shohani, Masoumeh and Amraei, Mansour}, title = {Investigating the prevalence of FXIIIVal34Leu polymorphism in the thalassemic patients of Ilam City}, abstract ={Introduction: The coagulation factor 13 has a fundamental role in homeostasis, protective effects on thrombosis, and some other associated diseases. Due to increasing the chronic coagulability of major thalassemic patients, this study was conducted with aim determining the prevalence of Val34LeuFXIII polymorphism in the thalassemic patients. Materials and methods: The present case-control study was conducted on 100 patients with major thalassemia with a gender ratio of 50 females and 50 males as case and 100 healthy persons as control with a gender combination of 50 males and 50 females that were selected with the referral order on the different days. DNA extraction and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were conducted. The genotypes of this polymorphism were identified by RFLP technique and Cfo1 restrictive enzyme. The analysis of data was conducted by SPSS 11.5 software, chi-square, and logistic regression statistical tests. P<0.05 was considered as a significant level. Results: The prevalence of FXIIIVal34Leu polymorphism was achieved 18% that its 83% and 17% were related, respectively, to the heterozygote genotype (Val/Leu) and homozygote genotype (Leu/Leu). 82% of these patients also had the genotype of wild type (Val/Val) among which 66.7% and 33.3 % of mutants were, male and female. 26% of them had Val34Leu polymorphism in the control group that 73% and 27% of them were, respectively, heterozygotic and homozygotic.

A number of evidence suggests a possible role of midkine (MDK) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and methods: We studied MDK and AFP in patients with HCC or in healthy controls. MDK and AFP was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and chemiluminescent immunoassay, respectively in 30 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma and 30 normal subjects Results: MDK and AFP were found in high levels in the serum of patients initially diagnosed with HCC (18 ± 9.8 pg/ml and 492.01 ± 298.89 pg/ml) compared with healthy subjects (4.29 ± 2.10 pg/ml and 3.13 ± 1.27 pg/ml), respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between mean levels of MDK and AFP in HCC (P < 0.05).

Adolescents health status has a critical role in their learning ability and their performance. The present study aimed to determine the predictive factors for general health status in Iranian high school students in 2014. Materials and methods: In a cross-sectional study evaluated the predictive factors for general health status among 381 high school students in Ilam, west of Iran in 2014. The samples were selected by a multi-stage sampling method. Data was collected by a two-part questionnaire. The first part of the questionnaire was included the personal characteristics. Second part of the questionnaire was General Health Questionnaire- 28 (GHQ-28). SPSS software Package 16 was used to analyze the data. Results: Overall 236 (61.9%) students put into the health status and 145 (38.1%) of all have disorders in one or more dimensions of their general health status. The univariate logistic regression analysis shows that the gender, mother´s occupation, father education and school grade are the main predictive factors of general health status. With the multivariate logistic regression analysis school grade was considered as independent predictive variable for students’ health status (OR = 0.761, P= 0.016). Conclusion: There are several risk factors for students’ general health disorder. It seems that gender, mother´s occupation, father education and school grade are some suitable independent predictive factors for students’ general health disorder. It is concluded that high school students at risk of health disorder could be diagnosed using some predictive analysis models allowing timely interventions to be performed.}, Keywords = {GHQ-28, Predictive factors, Multivariate logistic regression analysis, Unvariate logistic regression analysis}, volume = {2}, Number = {1}, pages = {20-25}, publisher = {ilam university of medical sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-94-en.html}, eprint = {http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-94-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Basic Research in Medical Sciences}, issn = {2383-0506}, eissn = {2383-0972}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Mazhariazad, Fereshteh and Roozbeh, Nasibeh}, title = {Evaluation of lifestyle and effective factors on public health in the students of Islamic Azad University of Bandar Abbas Province}, abstract ={Introduction: Certainly, personal health or social health issues are the most important aspects of human life.

However, estrogen plays an essential role during development of the female reproductive system. Anastrozole is used as both ovulation stimulating and an anticancer drug. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Anastrozole on follicular development and differentiation in mice. Materials and methods: In the present study, 30 adult female and 15 adult male mice were used. Then, two female mice (at their sterous cycle) were kept with one male mouse in a cage for mating. After observing the vaginal plug (considered as first day of pregnancy) female mice were divided into two groups of control and experimental. In the experimental group, on the 14th day of pregnancy the mice received anastrozole (50 mg/Kg, i.p. injection). After delivery 16 pups were selected in each group. Then 2, 4 and 7 day pups were studies for primordial, primary and growing follicles number. Results: According to the morphometric studies, in the 2 day pup, the breakdown was not complete in treatment group. However, the number of primordial, primary and growing follicles of 4 and 7 day pups were not significantly difference in the control and experimental groups. Conclusion: According to the studies, estrogen is necessary for follicular breakdown and maternal anastrozole can reduce the primordial follicles.
