Suaeda aegyptica (S. aegyptica) species belong to the Chenepodiaceae family، the second largest family in the world of plants kingdom. It is indigenous to arid and semi-arid regions of the world and salty coastal zones Persian Gulf of Iran. It is an annual succulent halophyte plant which is characterized by producing oily seeds، high growth rate and large number of biomass. The aim of this study was analysis and determination of oil and fatty acids concentration in the S. aegyptica seed.

The seeds of S. aegyptica were collected form coastal zones of Persian Gulf in Bushehr province، washed and dried. The fatty acids content of the dried seeds were extracted in n-hexane solvent by soxhellet apparatus. The residue of n-hexane in oily phase was evaporated by rotary evaporator and remaining oil was collected for fatty acids analysis. In the presence of potassium hydroxide and BF3 by refluxing for 30 minutes، the methyl ester derivative of fatty acids were produced. Then the resulted derivatives were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC-FID).

The seeds of S. aegyptica contains eight fatty acids as: Pelargonic (C9)، Capric (C10)، Undecylic (C11)، Tridecylic (C13)، Myristic (C14)، Palmitic (C16)، Stearic (C18)، Linoleic (18:2) and Linolenic (18:3). Average oil content in seeds 014/0 ± 87 / percent.

The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids was higher than the saturated ones. Linoleic and Palmitic acids are major unsaturated and saturated fatty acids of S. aegyptica seed respectively.

In disasters، large number of causalities rash into the hospitals in order to get health facilities. So، hospitals are the reference point for delivering the health services in all levels for helping to the most percent of injured people. Aim of study was to assess hospital disaster preparedness of Bushehr province. Maretial and

This was a cross-sectional descriptive study which has been done in all Bushehr province hospitals. In order to collect data، we used 210 questions checklist with 10 different aims; each aim had consisted of 6 different domains (equipment، working stuff، physical space، structure، protocols and functional chart). The checklists were completed by direct observation and evaluation of equipment، programs and documents based on their domains with different people.

The hospital preparedness in traffic base was very poor with mean number of 19/04±16/10 evaluation of security; education and management domain with mean number 35/29±26/52، 38/65±19/46، 36/36±24/05، respectively were poor. In logistics، workforce، communications، excused transportation and addition to the hospitals with the mean number of 53/26±26/31، 49/65±27/61، 45/53±18/29، 43/33±19/72، and 40/47±20/37 were estimated as average. The most number was belonged to the emergency with the mean number of 53/80±19/18.

The Bushehr province hospitals have not enough preparation against unexpected disasters and cannot be a good supporter for disaster happening، and in the occasions of happenings so many serious problems will occur. It will be suggested that the hospital managers should pay more attention to the unexpected disasters.
