Substituting olive oil instead of other edible ones may protect people against chronic diseases.

Vitamin D is a steroidal hormone which is necessary for human bones’ growth and development especially in young women during their pregnancy. Its deficiency is one of the main factors in metabolic bones diseases. The aim of this study was investigate level of serum 25-OH Vitamin D in the young women in Neyshabur. This cross sectional study was performed from February 2014 to January 2015 in 841 young women in the range of 15 to 40 years old who had been referred by city physicians to ACECR (Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research). Serum 25-OH Vitamin D level was evaluated by Chemiluminescence method. Vitamin D deficiency (less than 10 ng/ml) was 57.31 percent in young women. Vitamin D insufficiency (10 to 30 ng/ml) was also 30.55 percent. It was also more deficient in winter 63.27 percent, comparing to summer 50.38 percent. The lowest amount of Vitamin D was seen in the group of 15 to 20 years old. The enough amount of Vitamin D should be considered in women before pregnancy by regard to deficiency of 57.31 percent. So it must be inseparable part of pre-pregnancy tests.

Introduction and Diabetes is a common endocrine disorder associated with a variety of diseases such as, stroke, kidney failure and liver cirrhosis. Berberis vulgaris (B. vulgaris) root extract contains various alkaloids that are considered as antioxidants. The aim of this study was to examine serum glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in diabetic rats treated with hydro-alcoholic extract of wild berberis. In this experimental study, 40 male wistar rats were randomly divided to four groups of healthy control, diabetic control, and two diabetic groups treated with root extract of wild type berberis vulgaris (150 and 300 mg/kg body weight). Type 1 diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin 42 mg/kg. After 30 days, blood samples were collected from heart and serum glucose, serum MDA, and HbA1c levels were determined by commercial kits. Serum glucose, HbA1c, MDA levels were significantly higher in diabetic rats compared to the normal control rats. Oral administration of barberry extract significantly decreased those parameters compared to the untreated diabetic rats. Berberis vulgaris root extract has hypoglycemic effect and attenuates lipid peroxidation in diabetic rats.

Introduction and According to the finding of last decade researches that emotional experiences play a central role in cardiovascular diseases, researchers have been interested in effect of emotion regulation. The purpose of this study was comparing of cognitive emotion regulation factors in cardiovascular patients and normal subjects. Participants in total were 90 in 3 groups of coronary heart diseases patients, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) recipients and normal subjects. They completed the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ). Multivariate analysis of variance was used for data analysis. The finding showed that the mean of adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in normal subjects are higher and the mean of maladaptive strategies are lower than subjects with coronary heart disease and ICD recipients. Psychological preventive interventions with emphasis on cognitive emotion regulation strategies can be useful.

Introduction and Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) belongs to Lumiaceae family and contains different properties and compounds. With emergence of Vancomycin resistance Staphylococcus aureus, it has been confirmed as a global issue. The aim of this study is the survey of methanolic extract of rosemary leaves on Vancomycin -resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from patients of Imam Reza hospital of Mashhad. 150 bacterial samples have collected from Imam Reza hospital of Mashhad at the beginning of 2013 November. One of them was being resistance to Vancomycin antibiotic by Disk Diffusion and MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration). Extracting from Rosemary was performed by Maceration method. The MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) and MBC (Minimum Bactericidal concentration) has evaluated by reference method of Microdilution Broth. The result of this study demonstrated that the MIC and MBC for Methanolic extract of Rosemary on Vancomycin -resistant Staphylococcus aureus were 0.156×103 and 0.312×103 mg/ml respectively. Bacterial resisting to antibiotics implies necessity of using of new compounds with antibacterial property. The methanolic extract of rosemary can inhibit the growth of Vancomycin resistance Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore it can be used as clinical purposes.

Introduction and Today, with the advances in science, technology and industry the life-style of people has been changed. As we can see customs, traditions and indigenous cultures are faded in nutrition and food behaviors. In addition, in many of communities the use of fast foods has prevalent. Teenagers are interested in and almost one-third of them consume fast foods daily. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of the education based on theory of planned behavior in consumption of fast foods in high school girls’ students of Sabzevar city in 2014. Method of this study, was a quasi-experimental with two experimental)N = 25(and control)N = 25(groups consisted of 50 high school students (third grade) in 2014. The questionnaire based on structures of planned behavior theory was used. According to preliminary results, educational content developed and presented in the experimental group. After 3 months training program, data were collected and analyzed by using SPSS v.14 software. According to the results, 82.2% of the students used fast food at least twice a month. Knowledge, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control predicted 56.50% of behavioral intention and 20.32% of the behavior. Moreover, attitude was the most significant predictor of behavioral intention (beta = 0.274). Results showed that students do not have enough experience. Reducing the consumption of processed foods in this group, can be provide by knowledge of healthy nutrition and appropriate educational interventions.

Introduction and This study aimed to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and job stress and its associated factors associated in EMS personnel of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Cross-sectional study was that a total of 150 emergency personnel affiliated to Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 150 questionnaires were completed and returned. Data collection questionnaires were researcher made job satisfaction and HSE job stress. Content validity was confirmed by expert consultant and the reliability coefficient were calculated by the test-retest method in %10 of cases (N = 15) at 2-wk intervals. Total cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.85 and for dimensions it was 0.8 to 0.91. In data analysis SPSS v.21 software and descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and correlation coefficient) and inferential statistics (ANOVA, Fisher’s exact test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient) were used in significant level of (P < 0.05). According to the results the most level of job satisfaction was related to workplace conditions and the lowest was in the relationship with one’s life and job security. Analysis of variance showed significant differences between job satisfaction and job stress and its related factors, there is meaningful relationship (P < 0.05). Also there was a significant relationship between job satisfaction among emergency personnel and some individual characteristics such as age and working experience (P < 0.05). Job satisfaction of EMS personnel is a vital factor in health and immune system that causes to improvement of performance, quality of healthcare and patient satisfaction and reduction of costs.

Introduction and One of the most important causes for maternal death in developing countries is the third stage bleeding. The main aim of this study is to compare the effect of milking umbilical cord with diluted oxytocin and normal saline injections in the umbilical cord vein, on labor third stage duration and bleeding. The randomized control trial was done on 168 parturient mothers in Ahvaz hospitals. In the first group (N = 56) the umbilical cord blood was milked toward the placenta, the mothers in second group (N = 44) and third group (N = 32) were received 20 IU oxytocin and 30 ml saline normal in umbilical cord vein, respectively. Finally the forth or control group (N = 36) were received infusion of 20 IU oxytocin in 1000 ml serum ringer as the routine postpartum care. Then collected data was analyzed in SPSS v.16 by statistical tests, paired t-test, and ANOVA (CI = 95%). Mean duration of third stage of labor was significantly different between groups (P = 0.02), but all three manipulated groups did not have any significantly difference whereas, the difference was between control and manipulated groups. The effect of milking the umbilical vein toward placenta, is similar to the other manipulations in third stage duration. Mean hemoglobin concentration was not importantly different between the groups. Milking the umbilical cord blood toward placenta could reduce the duration of labor third stage the same as the others (diluted oxytocin and saline normal in umbilical vein). While this new method is easier and more available.
