- چکیده انگلیسی: Background and Objective: Health literacy in pregnant mothers is a cognitive and social skill that shows the motivation and ability of women to properly access, understand, and use the information to maintain the health of themselves and their children. The aim of this study was to investigate health literacy during pregnancy and its relationship with prenatal care.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study on 121 pregnant women who referred to the health service centers in Fariman, Iran. Cluster-multistage random sampling method was used to select participantes in 2020. The maternal health literacy and Pregnancy (MHLAPQ) questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 software based on t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Result: The mean score of maternal health literacy was 58.7 ±37.16. There was also a significant relationship (p <0.05) between health literacy score and mother's education, household income, number of children, place of residence, pregnancy weight gain, supplementation and, dairy products. According to the Pearson correlation coefficient, health literacy significantly correlated with pregnancy outcome (p = 0.000) and birth height (p = 0.005).
Conclusion: level of health literacy in new mothers was adquated in this study. Health policy-makers should simplify the health literacy training program for pregnant and lactating women to reduce the various factors that affect their health literacy.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background and objective: Music therapy is a non- expensive, non- invasive and applicable nursing intervention that can be applied by nurses and family caregivers in different situations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of selected music on agitation behaviors of elderlies who are suffering from Alzheimer disease and residing at selected nursing homes of Tehran city.
Methods: The present study was performed in a Semi-experiential. 34 elderly individuals with Alzheimer who show agitation behaviors were selected and they were randomly divided to two groups: intervention group (n=17) and control group (n=17). The individualized music was collected on CDs based on the elderly peoples’ preferences or if they suffered from severe cognitive impairment, their families were asked to select the music. Subsequently the individualized music was played by headphone in three sessions per week, afternoon and each session lasted for 20-30 minutes during 1.5 month for intervention group. For control group, no intervention was taken and they only received routine daily care measures of nursing homes. Data was gathered in 4 times for groups: Pre Test, Post Test1 (after 9 sessions), Post Test 2(after 18 sessions) and follow up step (a month after intervention). The tools for collecting data include: demographic inventory, Cohen- Mansfield’s Agitation Inventory (1986) and Abbreviated mental test (1972). The data were analyzed by MANOVA/ANOVA test on p < 0.05 level.
Results: Before individualized music therapy, there was no significant difference on agitation behavior between intervention and control group ( p > 0.05), while after execution of intervention, significant difference was observed in all three measurement stages (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: This study supports the effect of individualized music on reduction of agitation behaviors of elderly people who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and reside in nursing homes.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Osteoporosis is determined by decreased bone strength that increases the threat of fractures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pentoxifylline (PTX) and alendronate (ALN), on the stereological parameters, and gene expression in callus of fracture in an experimental rat model of ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis (OVX). The OVX was induced in 90 female rats. Fourteen weeks later, a complete fracture on the right femur was made. Rats were divided into five groups: 1) control: no treatment; 2) sham: received daily distilled water; 3) daily 3.00 mg kg-1 ALN subcutaneously (SC); 4) daily 200 mg kg-1 PTX (SC) and 5) daily PTX (SC) + ALN (same doses). The osteoclast count was significantly lower in all treatment groups, at 21 and 56 days post-surgery, compared to the control and sham groups. The PTX significantly increased total callus volume at 21 and 56 days post-surgery, compared to the other groups. The PTX+ALN treatment significantly increased both cortical bone volume on day 21, and osteocyte and osteoblast numbers on day 56, compared to the control and sham groups. It can be concluded that PTX and ALN have antiresorptive effects, in OVX rats. Also, PTX has increased the extracellular matrix on both 21 and 56 days after surgery, compared to the other groups. PTX+ALN elevated cortical bone volume on day 21, and osteocyte and osteoblast numbers compared to the control and sham groups on day 56.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Nowadays, due to the decline in oil supplies on the one hand and raising the price of petroleum, on the other hand, countries have led to other sources of fuel and energy. The use of methods such as the production of light hydrocarbons from synthesis gas is highly regarded by the Fischer-Tropsch process, in these countries. This process is performed by heterogeneous catalysts, which consist of two parts. The first part is a catalyst support (generally porous and made of silica) and the second is an active phase, which is generally made of metal. In fact, the catalyst is the heart of Fischer -Tropsch process. In this study, iron-cobalt-cerium tri-metallic nano-catalyst based on silica was prepared by the wet impregnation method. The catalyst was tested in a fixed bed micro-reactor and a wide range of products was analyzed by GC technique. By increasing temperature, the CO conversion was increased and the efficiency of products was improved. Finally, the structure of nano-catalyst was characterized using the technique of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to realize the particle size and surface properties of the catalyst.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: In order to select a better antibiotic choice for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, this study was conducted to determine the frequency of resistance to some antipseudomonal β-lactams in P. aeruginosa isolates from patients in Tehran, Iran. In addition, the relation between presence of genes known to be responsible for resistance to β-lactams (ampC, mexC1,2,and mexC3,4 genes) and resistance phenotype among P. aeroginosa isolates was evaluated.
Methods: P. aeruginosa strains were isolated and identified by routine methods and PCR for oprL gene. Disk diffusion method was employed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern according to CLSI recommendations. PCR was used to detect the resistance genes. Results: Among 100 isolates of P. aeruginosa, 82% had ampC, 86% mexC1,2and 89% mexC3,4 genes and combinations of these genes were seen in most of isolates and only 3% of isolates had none of these genes. Resistance to mezlocillin, cefepime, ceftazidime and piperacillin/ tazobactam was seen in 46%, 41%, 36% and 29% of isolates, respectively. Significant relation (P value ≤0.05 by Chi-square or Fisher Exact test) was observed between the presence of ampC gene and resistance to all the studied β-lactams in this study. No relation was observedfor mexC genes,although many ofisolates containing these two genes were phenotypically resistant. Conclusion: This study had shown for the first time, the presence of ampC and mexC genes in significant percent of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Tehran, Iran, and relation between presence of ampC gene and resistance to β-lactams.- انتشار مقاله: 09-10-1393

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
Mental health problems are common among adolescents. Proper screening and rehabilitation could improve adolescents’ function at the present time and in the future. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and the associated familial factors among high school students.
Materials and Methods
The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 630 high school students (315 boys and 315 girls) aged 13-17 years in Jahrom, Iran. The participants were selected using random cluster sampling. The data were collected using the self-report version of strength and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ), and were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software, version 16.0.
Results: The results showed that 22.38% of the students had total difficulty (14.9% of boys, and 29.8% of girls). The highest prevalence was related to peer relationship problems (23%) followed by conduct problems (18.1%), hyperactivity (11.1%), pro-social behaviors (6.3%), and emotional problems (5.7%). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that female gender (odds ratio [OR]: 2.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.68-3.66) increased the odds; while grade 9 (OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.32-0.83), and number of siblings (OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.78-0.99) decreased the odds of mental health problems (p<0.05).
Conclusion
According to the results, the prevalence of behavioral disorders was relatively high among the students. The number of sibling, being girl and being in nine grade significantly contributed to the prevalence of behavioral disorders. In order to reduce these disorders, familial intervention and educational programs are recommended to be designed and implemented to prevent and treat behavioral disorders among students.- انتشار مقاله: 20-10-1396

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
Recognition of head lice prevalence and related risk factors contributing in spreading the disease is a step forward to the control of this important health problem. This survey was done to determine prevalence and risk factors associated with head louse (Pediculus Humanus Capitis) in Central Iran.
Materials and Methods
In this descriptive–analytic study, a total of 38,237 suspected cases of head lice infestation that were referred to public health centers in Qom province during 2016 were studied. Data collection was done using standard check list that was conducted and approved by the Health Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran and physical examination of the hairsby visual inspections of scalp and hair for the presence of adult lice, nymphs, and eggs (nits) in all of suspected cases. For data analysis, Chi-square and Multiple Logistic Regression Tests were utilized.
Results
A total of 11,223 (29.35%) out of 38,237 suspected cases of all ages were found to have pediculosis. According to the multivariable logistic regression analysis, a significant relationship was observed between Pediculus capitis infestation and each of these factors: educational grade, family size, family income, having previous history of P. capitis infestation, number of combing per day(P<0.05). Head lice infestation was detected in 33.45% (7,182/21,469) of females and 24.09% (4,041/16,768) of males.
Conclusion
High prevalence of P. capitis among people of all ages, especially in students who reside in Qom province was attributable to inadequate access to health educators, health facilities, inattention to personal health, and other related factors.- انتشار مقاله: 17-02-1396

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Tobacco and hookah smoking is a worldwide problem among adolescents. The present study aimed to determine familial and social factors in predicting the tobacco and hookah smoking among high school students in Jahrom, South of Iran.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted for assessing the factors affecting hookah and cigarette smoking among high school students during January to April 2015. The participants were 630 high school students (girls=315 and boys=315). The self-administered questionnaire containingstudents’ demographics, parent education, family sizes, tobacco using, tobacco using of the family, hookah smoking, and hookah smoking in the family was used. Multiple logistic regression (MLR) models using the Enter method were fitted to assess the factors that increased or decreased the risk of smoking.
Results: The risk of cigarette smoking was increased with: cigarette smoking by sister (s) or brother (s) (36.8 [95% confidence interval(CI) (1.28-105)]; P=0.03), hookah smoking by mother (6.64 [95%CI (1.28-34.2)]; P=0.02), hookah smoking by father (OR: 5.33 [95%CI:1.88-15.07; P=0.02 ]), hookah smoking by mother (OR: 29.53 [95%CI:10.26-85.01, P<0.001]), hookah smoking by sister (s) or brother (s) (OR: 31.6 [95%CI: 10.71-93.3, P<0.001]), and not consult with parents (4.38 [95%CI (1.48-12.9)]; P=0.007), were significantly related to hookah smoking (P<0.05).
Conclusion
In current study, the prevalence rate of hookah smoking is notable among bothmale (3.8%) and female (1.6%) sexes. Despite the protective role of family in the substance use studies, in the case of hookah smoking, the family provides an opportunity for adolescence to experience hookah smoking.- انتشار مقاله: 02-12-1395
