Relationship between general health and economic factors in Ilam Province 2 2 Introduction: Public health is a life quality concerning a person's emotional, mental, moral states and biological fitness that helps him to be able to adapt to the surrounding environment and do sufficient amount of physical, mental, and social work. 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. 1 8 2014/12/5 1393/9/14 2015/02/14 1393/11/25 Ali Sayehmiri Ali Sayehmiri 1.

Investigating the prevalence of FXIIIVal34Leu polymorphism in the thalassemic patients of Ilam City 2 2 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. Conclusion: So far, the prevalence of FXIIIA Val34Leu polymorphism has not been reported in patients with Major thalassemia. A significant relationship wasn’t seen in this study between the prevalence of FXIIIVal34Leu polymorphism in the thalassemic patients compared with the control group. 9 14 2014/12/52015/03/16 1393/12/25 2015/02/142015/04/7 1394/1/18 Farajolah Maleki Farajolah Maleki Ilam University of Medical Sciences.

Status of serum alpha feto-protein (AFP) and midkine (MDK) levels in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma 2 2 Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sixth common cancers worldwide and predominant in Asia and Africa. 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). Combination of MDK and AFP improved the sensitivity of HCC diagnosis or predicting future HCC development. Conclusion: MDK along with AFP could be considered a promising tumor marker for HCC. In particular, the diagnostic value of the test is significantly increased when combined with AFP. 15 19 2014/12/52015/03/162014/05/6 1393/2/16 2015/02/142015/04/72015/03/16 1393/12/25 Syed Haque Syed Haque BIOCHEMIST sshaq2002@yahoo.co.in Md Tanweeruddin Md Tanweeruddin bandana@gmail.com Bandana Kumari Bandana Kumari Amod Kumar Amod Kumar rekha@gmail.com Santosh Kumar Santosh Kumar uady@yahoo.com Amrendra Kumar Amrendra Kumar asharan@gmail.com Avinash Kumar Avinash Kumar tanveer@gmail.com Amitesh Kumar Amitesh Kumar santosh@gmail.com Subhashchandra Jha Subhashchandra Jha pawan@gmail.com Ali Muzaffar Ali Muzaffar sshaq2002@yahoo.co.in AFP HCC MDK ## ##

Predictive factors for general health status in Iranian high school students an unvariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis 2 2 Introduction: Adolescents are the important portions of the Iranian population. 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. 20 25 2014/12/52015/03/162014/05/62015/03/7 1393/12/16 2015/02/142015/04/72015/03/162015/03/15 1393/12/24 Ataollah Hashemian Ataollah Hashemian Ilam University of Medical Sciences direkvand-a@medilam.ac.ir Ashraf Direkvand-Moghadam Ashraf Direkvand-Moghadam direkvand-a@medilam.ac.ir Ali Delpisheh Ali Delpisheh direkvand-a@medilam.ac.ir Azadeh Direkvand-Moghadam Azadeh Direkvand-Moghadam direkvand-a@medilam.ac.ir GHQ-28 Predictive factors Multivariate logistic regression analysis Unvariate logistic regression analysis ## ##

Removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions using modified clay 2 2 Introduction: Discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. In this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTMA-Mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB). Materials and Methods: The influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, adsorbate concentration and ion strength in batch system was evaluated. HDTMA-Mt was also characterized by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results: Fitting the experimental data to different kinetics and isotherm models including pseudo-first order kinetic, pseudo-second order kinetic, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms showed that the experimental data is well descripted by pseudo-second order kinetic (R2=1) and Freundlich (R2>99) models. The optimum contact time for the sorption was achieved at 60 min and changing in pH values had insignificant effects on the sorption. Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated that HDTMA-Mt can be successfully applied for the removal of MB from aqueous solutions. The modified Mt, due to high accessibility, low cost and non-toxicity, can be considered to replace with other high cost adsorbents 32 41 2014/12/52015/03/162014/05/62015/03/72013/12/72015/04/24 1394/2/4 2015/02/142015/04/72015/03/162015/03/152014/07/202015/04/25 1394/2/5 Mehdi Jourvand Mehdi Jourvand mjurvand@yahoo.com Ghodratollah Shams Khorramabadi Ghodratollah Shams Khorramabadi Shams khoramabadi@yahoo.com Yusef Omidi Khaniabadi Yusef Omidi Khaniabadi yusef_omidi@yahoo.com Hatam Godini Hatam Godini godini_h@yahoo.com Heshmatollah Nourmoradi Heshmatollah Nourmoradi Ilam_nourmoradi@yahoo.com Modified Clay Methylene Blue Adsorption Aqueous Solution ## ##

Effect of maternal anastrozole treatment on ovarian follicle development in neonatal mouse: A morphologic study 2 2 Introduction: The origin of neonatal oocyte development is unknown. 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. However, maternal anastrozole and estrogen depression couldn’t effect on the histology of ovarian follicle in neonatal mouse. 42 48 2014/12/52015/03/162014/05/62015/03/72013/12/72015/04/242015/03/2 1393/12/11 2015/02/142015/04/72015/03/162015/03/152014/07/202015/04/252015/03/16 1393/12/25 Kobra Afsordeh Kobra Afsordeh Department of Medical Sciences, Tonekabon Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tonekabon, Iran.

Microwave assisted digestion coupled with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry for determining element concentrations in halophytes 2 2 Introduction: This study was carried out to determine elements (Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, B, Al, Si, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Ag and P) in the Suaeda vermiculata (S. vermiculata) and Suaeda aegyptiaca (S. aegyptiaca) in three different regions of Southern Iran using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after microwave-assisted acid digestion. Materials and methods: The present study was carried out the common halophytes, S. vermiculata and S. aegyptiaca in three different region of Dashti in Busher province, Iran, in early summer, 2013. S. vermiculata and S. aegyptiaca are native to the south, southern- east and Persian Gulf coastal and are recognized as Tahma and Kakol in Bushehr province. After drying at 95°C for 1 h to a constant weight, the samples were separated and weighed individually. The dried samples were homogenized and grounded using a mortar. Results: A new, simple and highly sensitive method was proposed for determination some elements in halophytes by ICP-OES. The limit of detection (LOD) was below 10 ngkg−1,and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were below 5%.The recoveries of all the elements were in the range of 88% to 108%, and the linear correlation coefﬁcients (R) were 0.99. Conclusion: Advantages of this method were low limit of detection (LOD), the relative standard deviations (RSD), recoveries of all the vitamins were in the range of 88% - 108%, and the linear correlation coefﬁcients (R) 0.99. Finally to the best of our knowledge there are no published research studies about determination of some element concentrations in halophytes and the proposed ICP-OES method has been successfully applied for determining element concentrations in halophytes. 49 56 2014/12/52015/03/162014/05/62015/03/72013/12/72015/04/242015/03/22015/03/31 1394/1/11 2015/02/142015/04/72015/03/162015/03/152014/07/202015/04/252015/03/162015/04/11 1394/1/22 Narges Chamkouri Narges Chamkouri Masoud Torabpour Masoud Torabpour Farokh Ghafarizadeh Farokh Ghafarizadeh Suaeda vermiculata Suaeda aegyptiaca Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) Microwave digestion ## ##
