The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of regular aerobic training and hyaluronic acid on cardiac tissue Wnt signaling pathway in experimental model of knee OA. Methods and Materials: 42 male rats were divided into 6 groups (7 in each group): 1) control, 2) patient, 3) salin, 4) HA,5) exercise and 6) exercise + HA. First, OA model was induced. Then, rats performed 5 days running on the treadmill for 5 weeks in the training group. Hyaluronic acid was injected intra-articularly. After 12 to 14 hours of fasting and 72 hours after the last training session, cardiac tissue sampling was performed for β-catenin and Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3β) analysis. Expression of theβ-catenin and GSK-3βgenes in cardiac tissue were analyzed by RT-PCR. Data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, if there was a significant difference, Tukey’s post hoc test was used (P <0.05). Results: Induction of OA in rats led to a significant increase in β-catenin gene as well as a significant decrease in cardiac tissue GSK3 gene compared to healthy control group. The results also showed that regular aerobic training, hyaluronic acid injection and a combination of both treatments resulted in a decrease in the β-catenin gene and an increase in the cardiac tissue GSK3 gene compared to in the OA group rats.

Determining the cause of this disease is very important and it can be very helpful in treatment and preventive proceduers. In the present study, this cause was investigated among children referred to Birjand Nuclear Medicine Center. Methods and Matreials: This descriptive-analytical study used the information in the files of children referred to Birjand Nuclear Medical Center that all of them had initial TSH levels higher than normal (TSH≥10mU / L). For some of the children referred, their TSH levels ئreturned to normal after three years and they were in the transient hypothyroid group. After examining the rest of the children by an endocrinologist and nuclear medicine specialist, children with permanent defects were divided into two groups: thyroid dysfunction (dysgenesis) and thyroid hormone (dyshormonogenesis) and dysgenesis were divided in ectopic subgroups of Hypoplasia - Aplasia and agenesis. Patients’ information such as age, gender, family history and location were also collected.The cause of this disease was analyzed separately through patient information by Fisher statistical test. Results: By examining 80 children, 13 of them (16.25%) had their TSH levels return to normal after three years and their thyroid was transient. Among the permanent causes, ectopia with 24 girls (64.7%) and 10 boys (35.3%) had the highest frequency; moreover, hypoplasia or aplasia with 8 children had the lowest frequency. Among the children studied, the number of ectopic thyroid girls was more than boys. 52.5% of these children lived in urban areas and 48.5% of them lived in rural areas.

The aim of this study is to assess the chromosomal damage in medical radiotherapy workers and its association with effective parameters such as age, sex, duration of employment and the amount of received dose by two methods of Micronuclei and G-banding, as a biomarker for early diagnosis of cancer. Methods and Materials: In this study, chromosomal damage in 45 radiation experts (including 17 males and 28 females with a mean age of 37.1 years and mean occupational experience of 13.2 years) was examined in employees of radiotherapy sectors in Tehran (G-banding and Micronuclei). Moreover, the results of chromosomal damage were compared with 15 people, who were not consciously exposed to ionized radiation and they worked in other sectors of the hospital. Results: Most employees of radiotherapy sectors, had significantly increased frequency of cytogenetic aberrations, registered by G-banding, comparing the control group (1.22±0.71 vs. 0.91±0.7); (P<0/05). Similarly, the frequency of micronuclei (MN) in exposed personnel was significantly increased comparing the control group (P<0.05). Based on the results of both methods, there was no significant relationship between age, gender, duration of employment and occupational exposure dose with the prevalence and incidence of aberrations and MNs. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that Micronuclei and G-banding methods are appropriate for the analysis of chromosomal damage in radiation workers. The results of both methods showed considerably higher rate of chromosomal aberrations in medical radiotherapy workers than non-exposed people. Increasing the rate of single-string fracture injuries in the long term leads to the accumulation of single string fractures and failure to repair the injuries resulting in malignancy. It can be said that radiation workers are more prone to malignancy than people who have not been exposed to radiation.}, Keywords = {Chromosomal Abnormalities, Gimsa Bonding, Micro nuclei, Employees of Radiotherapy, Assessment}, volume = {16}, Number = {3}, pages = {1-12}, publisher = {AJA university of medical sciences}, url = {http://jps.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-295-en.html}, eprint = {http://jps.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-295-en.pdf}, journal = {Paramedical Sciences and Military Health}, issn = {2423-7507}, eissn = {2538-3086}, year = {2021} } @article{ author = {massoum, ghazaleh and biglari, mohaddese and amiri, fatemeh and tavakoli, sim}, title = {Survey on Audit Process of Medical Laboratories in Hamadan Province}, abstract ={Introduction: Audit is an organized and documented process in which qualified and trained auditors evaluate the laboratories using tools such as checklists.

This study was aimed to determine the efficacy of adding magnesium sulfate to ropivacaine 0.25% in transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block under ultrasound guidance on analgesia after open appendectomy. Methods and Materials: This double-blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 50 patients undergoing an open appendectomy. Transverse abdominis plane block under ultrasound guidance was performed immediately after surgery and before extubation in all patients. Magnesium sulfate (250 mg) and normal saline (0.5 ml) were added to the anesthetic drug ropivacaine 0.25% in the intervention group (RM) and control group (RN) respectively. Data collection tools included a demographic information questionnaire and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Patients were assessed in terms of pain intensity and their need for opioids at PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) in the hours of 6, 12 and 24 after surgery. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 16. Results: There were no significant differences in the mean pain score in none of the time periods after surgery as well as the need for opioids in the two groups (P-value> 0.05).

Therefore, the current study tried to provide useful information for surgical team about the role of ABCPs in contamination of sterile surfaces in the operating room (OR); moreover, this study provided strategies to deal with it. Methods and Materials: The present research was a descriptive study performed by review method. Data were collected by searching various databases including Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar search engine. Results: Surgical wound contamination (SWC) and SSI prevention depends on minimization of ABCPs. Hence, maintaining clear air in the OR by using the efficient ventilation systems, limiting traffic and opening doors and using of non-woven fabric instead of cotton fabric can maintain low ABCPs in the OR environment and they reduce the chances of infections by ABCPs transmission. Discussion and Conclusion: Everyone on the surgical team is responsible for establishing and maintaining a sterile field by using sterile techniques to prevent SWC and SSI. The results of this review suggests that OR staff should be educated about routes of sterile field contamination by ABCPs to be able to prevent risk of SWC and incidence of SSI.}, Keywords = {Surgical Site Infection, Airborne Particles, Bacterial Contamination, Operating Room, Operating Room Nursing}, volume = {16}, Number = {4}, pages = {52-64}, publisher = {AJA university of medical sciences}, url = {http://jps.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-300-en.html}, eprint = {http://jps.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-300-en.pdf}, journal = {Paramedical Sciences and Military Health}, issn = {2423-7507}, eissn = {2538-3086}, year = {2021} } @article{ author = {Riahy, Simi}, title = {Review of Musculoskeletal Injuries Resulting from Military Training, Risk Factors and Prevention Strategies, Narrative Review study}, abstract ={Introduction: Physical fitness is one of the most effective factors in optimal military missions’ performance. Doing exercises to increase fitness is associated with musculoskeletal injuries, which besides reducing the quality of performed tasks, it costs a lot for the health care system. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and type of musculoskeletal injuries due to military training education and its risk factors. Finally it provides suitable solutions to reduce them. Methods and Materials: This narrative review study has been performed by searching military, injury prevention, and skeletal muscle keywords in various databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct databases, Google Scholar search engine and Persian articles. Results: The findings indicate a high prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries during military training. The most common injuries are overuse, stress fracture, muscle strain and sprains, especially in the lower extremities. The prevalence, type and area of injuries are different due to differences in the type of military task. For example, Stress fracture and overuse and infantry Stress fracture are common in the Marines. In general, injury risk factors are divided into intrinsic and extrinsic types. Internal risk factors include age, sex, physical activity and fitness, body mass index, fatigue, and body structure. Extrinsic risk factors include heavy loads carriage, footwear, running surface, type of exercise, malnutrition and insomnia. Many solutions have been recommended to reduce these risk factors. For example, designing exercise according to the level of fitness and physical structure of soldiers, using new training methods that are associated with less damage, adequate nutrition and rest, training of instructor and medical staff and optimization military equipment such as footwear and backpacks. Discussion and Conclusion: It seems that successful modifying of these risk factors can be effective in reducing injury and improving military training.}, Keywords = {Injuries, prevention, Musculoskeletal, Military Training}, volume = {16}, Number = {4}, pages = {65-78}, publisher = {AJA university of medical sciences}, url = {http://jps.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-287-en.html}, eprint = {http://jps.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-287-en.pdf}, journal = {Paramedical Sciences and Military Health}, issn = {2423-7507}, eissn = {2538-3086}, year = {2021} }
