Feyz Medical Sciences Journal Feyz 1029-7855 2008-9821 2005 9 3 Effects of garlic powder tablet on blood sugar, plasma lipids and blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia. Karim Parastouei Parastouei_k@kaums.ac.ir Shahnaz Ravanshad Habiballah Mostaphavi Esfandiyar Setoudehmaram Background: Diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension are three major risk factors that lead to the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. Historically, there has been great interest in the role of garlic in reducing cardiovascular risk factors. In this study we evaluated effects of garlic tablet in type 2 diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia. Materials and method: A clinical trial (before and after) was performed in a group of 50 type 2 diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia (including 39 women, 11 men with serum cholesterol concentration greater than or equal to 220 mg/dl) to assess the effect of garlic powder tablet on blood glucose, lipid profiles and blood pressure. Each subject received tablets containing 300 mg of garlic powder (Garcin) 3 times per day for 6 weeks. Before and after the treatment, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and lipid profiles were measured. 24 hr dietary recalls were used to evaluate nutritional status of the patients. Results: Our results indicate that 6 weeks supplementation with garlic powder tablets give rise to a significant decrease in total cholesterol (p < 0.01) and LDL-C (p < 0.001) but increase in HDL-C (p < 0.02). We observed a considerable decreased in systolic blood pressure (p < 0.03). There were no significant changes in diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, serum triglycerides and HbAıc. Also there were no significant changes in diet composition. Conclusion: 6 weeks treatment with garlic powder tablets significantly decreased total cholesterol, LDL-C, systolic blood pressure and increased HDL-C in type II diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia. Further studies are required to assess quality, efficacy and safety of this product. Garlic Type 2 diabetes Hyperlipidemia 2005 10 01 1 7 http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-132-en.pdf

The mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain are poorly understood. The present study explores behavioral characteristics of the neuropathic pain models chronic constriction injury (CCI) and spared nerve injury (SNI). Materials and Methods: Experiments were performed on four groups (n= 8) of male Sprague-Dawley rats (230-280 g). Anesthesia was initially induced with sodium pentobarbital (i.p.) at a dose of 50 mg/kg. The CCI model was made by loose ligation of the sciatic nerve. Also a lesion of two of three terminal branches of the sciatic nerve leads to a SNI model. The animals were tested for behavioral responses cold-and mechano-allodynia and heat-and mechano-hyperalgesia. The cold and mechanical stimulations in the cold- and mechano-allodynia phenomena were applied through acetone and von Frey filament respectively. Pin-prick and radiant heat were applied as thermal and mechanical stimulations in the heat- and mechano-hyperalgesia respectively. Behavioral tests were conducted on the animals prior to surgery (the day 0), and 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post-operation. Results: Our results indicate that, in comparison to the controlled group, the rats in both SNI and CCI groups reveal an obvious difference in behavioral responses. Although the SNI, compared to the CCI group were more sensitive to mechano-allodynia shortly after surgery (p<0.5) however, both groups share a similar pattern of behavior. In the heat-hyperalgesia testing, again, the animals in the CCI and SNI groups behaved differently than those in the controlled group, but no variation was evident among the test groups, themselves. Conclusion : These findings clearly show that the two neuropathic models produce abnormal pain-related disorders in the rats. A major feature of the SNI model was the very marked hypersensitivity to normally innocuous mechanical stimuli.

Considering HCC’s essential role in OHSS, in ovulation induction cycles with many follicle number and estradiol level elevation, HCC injection is not recommended. GnRH agonist was used for final oocyte maturation and ovulation stimulation in order to inhibit OHSS risk and Material and Methods: A clinical trial was performed on women in ovulation induction cycle combined with IUI that were in OHSS risk. Patients were randomized in case and control group. Case group received GnRH agonist and the control group didn't. Progesterone levelwas measured on 21st or 23rd day of period cycle and was followed for ovulation, pregnancy and OHSS. Results: 34 patients of total 70 that had suitable conditions were studied. Patients were matched for age and estradiol level. Ovulation rate in case and control group was 50% and 74/1%, respectively that was not statistically significant. There was no case of OHSS in both groups. Conclusions and Recommendations: Results have revealed that GnRH agonist injection in hyper stimulated cycles will be successful and prevent OHSS. Therefore its application is recommended. OHSS GnRH Agonist Ovulation Rat 2005 10 01 20 22 http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-125-en.pdf

Accurate identification of these parasites is the first step in strategic planning for the prevention,control and treatment of the parasitic disease. The aim of this study is using PCR-RFLP technique for genotyping. Materials and methods : samples were collected from elementary tract content of 70 sheep in Isfahan and Khorasgan slaughterhouses. Identification of Trichostrongylus was determined based on morphological character and key identification after direct and flotation methods . For genotyping studies, DNA was extracted and the ITS-2 of ribosomal DNA of each species with specific primers was amplified by PCR and restricted with the endonucleases DraI, RsaI, HinfI. The profile was visualized in agarose gel under ultraviolet transillumination. Results: The eggs of most species are morphologically indistinguishable at the generic level .rDNA-ITS2 fragment size of all species were the same size about 330bp, however, there were differences among species in their PCR-RFLP patterns. The two fragments produced with RsaI in all species were the same size about 138bp,190bp. The PCR product T.probulurus with DraI remained unrestricted. Restriction with DraI produced two fragments in the PCR product of T.axei and T.colubriformis about 110bp,215bp, however, the larger of the two fragments in T.vitrinus is smaller in size than in T.axei and T.colubriformis had a size about145bp,185bp.The two fragments produced with HinfI in T.colubriformis had a size about 90bp,238bp, By contrast other Trichostrongylus remained unrestricted. Conclusion: Based of our results from genotyping studies using PCR-RFLP technique, it can be concluded that four species had been identified .This study provides a pattern to distinguish Trichostrongylus species in Isfahan region using the DraI, RsaI, HinfI restriction endonucleases.

For this reason students must study theoretical basis of imaging techniques at first, and then follow this principle in lab and finally apply them on patients. At present, in our country the second stage of this process (taking an image in lab) doesn’t take place because of some restrictions such as radiographic phantoms. This matter causes some problems. The Aim of this study was construction of teaching radiographic phantoms to train students to get radiographic image in lab. After lab training, they enter into radiology departments (real environment). Methods and material: Natural bone from anatomy department was provided and then adjusted with respect to its anatomical position in body and various radiographic positions. Simultaneously from each region a mold was prepared and bones set in correct anatomical and radiographic position into that and then it was filled with melted paraffin. After cooling the phantoms, they were taken took out and colored. Results: Investigation and comparison of results showed that instructed phantoms have very similarity with patient radiographs with regard to physical parameters such as density and contrast. Conclusion: This result showed that construction of radiographic teaching phantoms is possible in our country and according to their quality we can use them in training of students. phantom radiography and teaching 2005 10 01 44 53 http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-124-en.pdf

The sampling was done randomly in several phases. The information about kinds of diet, maternal age, maternal education, occupational status, infant sex, order of infant’s birth, the commencement time of first feeding, exclusive breast feeding period and the commencement time of supplemental diet were collected . Also the weight and height of infants were measured. Then the collected data was analyzed.Findings:  Non exclusive breast feeding was observed in 17.7% of infants and in 3.7% of them, supplemental diet had begun earlier than their 4-month age. Breast feeding period in 82.3% of infants was more than 4 months. There was a statistically significant correlation between kinds of diet and maternal age (P<0.002), occupational status (p<0.001) and the commencement time of first feeding (p<0.0005). Infant weight in exclusive breastfeeding group (N1= 288) was 7243 ±792.1 gr and in non exclusive breast feeding group (N2=62) was 6891 ±1059 gr (P<0.002). Their height was respectively 62.63± 2.9 cm and 62.25± 3.1 cm (P<0.1)Conclusion: Early beginning of breast feeding in postpartum period, paying further attention to old mothers and employed mothers have an important role in exclusive breastfeeding development and prevention of infant mortality.
