Materials and Methods: An experimental study on anesthetized tracheostomized rats was undertaken. 1.5ml/100g distension was created. In control group (10 rats) and control groups (8 rats in each group) physiological saline solution placed in gastric cavity. Aluminum chloride (25, 50, 100, 200 ?g aluminum/kg body weight) and saline solution (0.5ml total volume) was injected to experimental and control groups respectively. At 15 minutes intervals, gastric acid content was measured by titration. Results: Significant acid secretion in control group compared to the basal level was absorbed (P<0.001) while distension did not culminate acid secretion in any significant extent. Conclusion: It seems that preparations containing aluminum not only creat buffer effect in gastric cavity (As an antacid) but also it inhibits gastric acid secretion in systematic manner. 1998 10 01 1 8 http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-548-en.PDF

Feyz Medical Sciences Journal Feyz 1029-7855 2008-9821 1998 2 3 Effect of low power Helium-Neon Laser radiation on healing of minor bone deformation of rabbits Tibia Siamak Bashardoust Mohamamd Bayat Esmaeil Ebrahimi Mohammad Ali Hosseinian Firouz Azordegan Mohamamd Kamali Afsane Azari History and Objectives: Due to discrepancies on the effect of low power Helium-Neon laser on healing of bone fracture, the present study intends to investigate such effect on healing of bone deformation of rabbit tibia. Materials and Methods: An experimental study on 39 albino rabbits was carried out. They were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Under aseptic condition and using anesthesia, an incision was made on skin with deep fascia on the internal surface of tibia bone on the left side of the animal. With an electric drill (2mm), a small deformation or hole was created on this surface. The day of surgery was considered as zero day and animals were divided into 3 groups of 14, 21 and 28 days. A low power laser, 1.2 J/cm², was applied daily once every day. Animals were killed and the left tibia bone was removed. Biomechanic studies were performed on the bones. The degree of fragility was determined by using 3 point bending of the bones. The absorbed energy at the point of fracture and the extent of bone deformation and elastic stability was measured. Results: The extent of elastic stability and absorbed energy was significant in 21st and 28th day of experimental group respectively (P<0.05). Augmentation of biomechanic specificities was observed in the 3 experimental groups and differences were significant for day 14-28 and 21-28. Conclusion: Laser radiation with low power Helium-Neon with energy density of 1.2 J/cm² is performed according to the procedure in the present study increases the speed of bone healing at the site of tibia bone deformation. 1998 10 01 9 15 http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-549-en.PDF

The project was accepted in 1994, due to its merits and importance. Investigators reported only one case (0.02%). This is surprising since previous reports indicated prevalence of 2 to 40%. In light of acceptable research design, why the project was unable to find rational data? Therefore the present study is presented to introduce a research project and its critical review of its content in order to reduce difficulties in assessment of articles in journal club setting. It will also be as a guideline for fellow scientists in their critical review of scientific journals. Critical review of journals are one of the items of importance has been emphasized in university promotion protocols. 1998 10 01 43 47 http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-554-en.PDF

Materials and Methods: A clinical trial was carried out to assess the effect of surgery on 18 patients. Cytotoxic effect of NK cells were assess before and after the surgery in mononuclear suspensions by flow cytometry. The activity of NK cell was determined among healthy individuals as control. Results: Activity of NK cell increases from 24.4±12.6 percent to 37.7±22.3 before and after surgery respectively (P<0.05). Increasing the stage of the disease will reduce the activity of the NK cells (r=-0.89). However there were no significant differences before and after the surgery was observed in the same stage. There were relatively moderate correlation between age and NK cell activity (r=-0.53). Activity of NK cells was 62.5±3.5 percent in control group, which displayed significant difference (P<0.0001). Conclusion: Mastectomy may lead to increased activity of NK cells among patient suffering from breast cancer and their increased activity may produce positive therapeutic effect. 1998 10 01 55 60 http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-556-en.PDF
