The ability of distinguishng co-cultured cells facilitates evaluation of these cultures. P388D1 cells are macrophage like cells but morphologic appearance of these cells is like lymphoblasts. In evaluation of P388D1 and bone marrow cells co-culture, Different antigens on P388D1 cells surface could help to distinguish these cells from bone marrow cells. Materials and Methods : In order to prepare the antibody against P388D1 cells, rabbits were immunized by intraperitoneal and intravenous injections of these cells. After getting blood, serum immunoglobulins were precipitated in ammonium sulfate solution. Before and after each precipitation, serum protein electrophoresis was performed and protein was assayed by Bradford method. Antibodies, which had a cross reactivity with bone marrow cells were removed by several absorptions with bone marrow cells. The presence of antibodies on cell surface was detected by indirect immunoflurescence labeling technique. Complement mediated cytotoxicity of antibodies was also assayed. Results: The results indicate that this antibody solution has no detectable cross reaction with bone marrow cells, using indirect immunflurescence labeling technique, while it has positive reaction against P388D1 cells. Conclusion: By means of these antibodies we would be able to recognize or remove P388D1 cells from bone marrow cell population.

Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 60 male rats, species Sprague Dawley. Rats were divided in 6 equal groups. Each group received normal saline (0.9%) and menthol with doses of 0.9, 2.7, 9, 27 and 90 mg/kg by plastic cannula, respectively. Gastric secretion was extracted from pylorus. Gastric acidity was evaluated using titration by NaOH. Data analysis was performed by t-test, paired t-test, one way ANOVA and tukey's test. Results: Rate of gastric acid secretion was constant in rats received normal saline, while it increased in rats received peppermint essential oil. Peppermint essential oil with dose of 9 mg/kg decreased acid secretion from 100 to 61.1±3.8 percent at the beginning of prescribing. Increasing dose aggravated the efficacy of peppermint essential oil on inhibiting acid secretion. The maximum of effect was seen in dose of 27 mg/kg. The effect of peppermint essential oil was reversible and after washing stomach with normal saline, this inhibitory effect was disappeared. Conclusion: It seems that peppermint essential oil has dose-dependent and reversible inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion. So, it is recommended to patients with gastritis to decrease prescribing anti-secretory drugs.

Sayed Mohammad Matini matini_m@kaums.ac.ir HISTORY AND AIM: Considering the incidence of Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, present diagnostic tests based on Rome criteria and different pathological findings in Iran, this study.MATERIALS AND MATERIALS:This research was done clinically and paraclinically on the patients with Rome criteria more than 3 months. Firstly the suspicious patients with lactase deficiency were put aside and then FBS, ESR, BUN, CBC and stool examination for leukocytes, RBC and culture and occult blood test six times were done. The sonography of abdomen and pelvis was also conducted. The patients, then, were studied through Barium Enema with Double Contrast Method. The patients with some problems in these tests were deleted and the rest were studied through colonoscopy and several colonic biopsy. FINDINGS: Some 80 patients with IBS conditions based on Rome criteria were studied through colonoscopy and biopsy 59.5 percent of which were male and the rest female The commonest age in patients was 20-3-. Lymphocyte infiltrtion in lamina propria was reported in 96.3% and histology was normal only in 3.7% that is against the classic medical books. RESULTS: In our country (Iran), in the patients with IBS, the pathological findings in colon include lympbocytic infiltration in lamina propria, the reasons of which are:   a) Opposite to Rome criteria that implies colon pathology is normal and there is only movement disorder, lymphocytic infiltration can also be seen in patients with IBS.   b) Perhaps What we refer to as IBS in our country based on Rome criteria in medical books is part of a lymphocytic colitis.   c) Lymphocytes is lamina propria in patients with IBS is an immunological reaction to flora microbe in colon in our country.

They frequently affect total factor productivity in organization. But there is not adequate information about nursing productivity. Therefore objectives of this research are assessing nurses’ view about productivity and its effecting factors. The study conducted between the years 2003-2005 in the hospitals of Tehran university of medical sciences. Materials and Methods: We chose the grounded-theory approach for analysis of the participants' experiences and their viewpoints regarding the nurses’ productivity. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather the data. Purposeful sampling was used 26 participants were interviewed and the constant comparative analysis method was used. Results: 26 participants were consisted samples from nurses, head nurses, supervisors, matrons and nurseducators. 23% of participants were male and 77% were female with mean age of 39.8 ± 7.6 and 17 ± 7.9 years of service. Nurses defined productivity as being useful for the clients and delivering effective and high qualitative nursing care. However, they believed that their productivity is low becaues of obstacles such as staff shortness, high level of non-nursing duties, and inefficient management strategies such as dictatorial and selfish behaviors of managers. They emphasized that the manegers performance and behavior can facilitate or hinder the nurses productivity. Conclusion : Qualitative studies are apropriate for recognising the variables and the process of organizational and social conditions like productivity. nurses defined productivity as being usful for the clients and delivering effective and high qualitative nursing care. Effective management can improve productivity and enhance quality of care – essntial mission of health care organization. Qualitative studies are suggested for recognising the process behind the organizational behaviors.

It may occurs following infection, inflammation, vaccination, surgery, and malignancies or may be idiopathic. Acute symetrical flaccid ascending paralysis begins in distal part of lower exterimities and it extends toward upper exterimities during few hours to few days. Increased cerebrospinal fluid protein and decreased nerve conduction velocity helps for diagnosis. We studied children who were admitted for GBS in Shiraz during 20 years ago. Materials and Methods: It was an existing data type study. From medical files of patients, those who have diagnosed GBS were selected. Data including age, sex, season, month, duration of admission, infections, blood pressure and clinical manifestations were recorded. Results: 78 patients were studied. Mean age of patients was 6.26 ranged between 4 months and 14 years. The most of patients were in 1-5 years old age group. male to female ratio was 1.6. There was no relatio between frequency of admission and seasons. 45% had positive history of upper respiratory tract infection during the last ten days before hospitalization. In an interesting case, the disease was occurred following kala azar. 31% had cranial nerve involvement, mostly in fascial nerve. 44% had respiratory problems and 23% need to mechanical ventilator. Swallowing and sphincter dysfunction were present in 30% and 17%, respectively. Blood pressure changes, mostly hypertenstion, were seen in 9% of patients,. Recurrence and death were occurred in 4.4% and 8%, respectively. Conclusion: Guillain Barre Syndrome is a multifactorial syndrome in which infections, diseases and enviormental factors have important role in its etiology. Due to disability and even death, Further studies is recommended to find the etiology, treatment and prevention of GBS.
