Any defect or delay in lens development leads to impaired in visual system functions. The aim of this study was to evaluate any changes in embryos, lenses whose mothers were treated with Letrozol during pregnancy. Methods: In this experimental study, twenty pregnant rats (wistar) were divided into four groups (three experimental and one control groups). The control group was treated with tap water and the experimental groups were treated with tap water containing Letrozole in doses 0.01, 0.02 or 0.04 mg/kgbw respectively. Rats were treated from day 10 and on day 16 of pregnancy, the embryos were removed by Caesarean. In addition, morphological and histological studies were done by H;E staining in the eyes. Results: In experimental groups treated with Letrozole in doses 1%,2% mg/kg, the diameter of the lens were reduced in compare to control group but in experimental group which received Letrozol in dose0.04 mg/kgbw no lenses was formed. The results were evaluated by one way ANOVA and LSD post hoc. Conclusion: This study showed that using letrozole during pregnancy may lead to birth visual system defects, especially in lenses.

In nature, the triggering virus is found in vertical and horizontal cycles between the tick vectors and different species of domestic and wild vertebrates which are circulated and maintained. The purpose of this study was to determine the viral infection were collected from livestock ticks in the Marvdasht, Iran. Methods: In this cross sectional study, samples were randomly selected from 6 villages near marvdasht. A total of two hundred ticks (hard and soft) from sheep, goats and cattle were collected and the related information was recorded. Ticks were sent to the laboratory under appropriate conditions of humidity and temperature. They were identified to species level using valid entomological keys. The identified ticks were transferred to the National Reference Laboratory for Arboviruses. The Ticks infections were analyzed by Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) to detect CCHF virus genome. Results: The results indicated that viral genotypes were present in at least 9 samples (4.5%) of the studied tick population. The infected ticks belonged to Hyalomma marginatum‚ Hyalomma anatolicum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Conclusion: Due to confirming the cycle of the virus, it can be mentioned that CCHF has recently emerged as an important public health problem in this region and systematic performance monitoring and control programs to reduce the livestock population, distribution, inform and educate high-risk occupations of vectors is required.

Lallemantia iberica in traditional medicine has been used for the treatment of inflammation and neurological diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect(s) of ethanol extracts of Lallemantia iberica in male rats. Methods: In the present experimental study, 42 adult male rats were divided into 7 groups: control, treated with the Lallemantia iberica at doses of (80, 100 and 300 mg/kg, i.p. morphine (1mg/kg, i.p.), aspirin (1mg/kg, i.p.), and naloxone (1 mg/kg, i.p.) with dose of 300 mg/kg. The analgesic effects of HRC were assessed with writhing, tail-flick and formalin tests. The data were compared by One-way ANOVA test. Results: Lallemantia iberica leaf extract significantly inhibited the number of contractions induced by acetic acid. All doses of HRC showed antinociceptive activity in the tail flick model. In formalin test, the highest effect was observed at dose of 300 mg/kg (P<0.01). Administration of naloxone inhibited the antinociceptive effect of Lallemantia iberica Leaf Extract I. Conclusion: The obtained data suggested that the analgesic effects of methanolic extract of Lallemantia iberica may be mediated via both peripheral and central mechanisms. The presence of flavonoids might be responsible for the antinociceptive activity of this plant.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Bupleurum exelatum (B. exalatum) extracts on rat liver. Material and method: This experimental study was conducted at Yasouj University of Medical Sciences in 2013 on 50 healthy adult male Wistar rats. Animals were randomly divided into five equal groups: the normal group (receiving, olive oil), control and experiment groups receiving different dose of carbon tetrachloride and olive oil. The experiment group was given daily doses of 75, 150 and 300 mg per Kg of B. exalatum extract by gavage respectively. After two months, the liver enzymes, total protein, albumin and bilirubin in animal’s sera were measured. Data were analyzed by the SPSS software, using ANOVA and tuky-test. Result: The toxicant significantly (P < 0.05) increased the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, TB, DB, and decrease the level of TP and ALB. Oral administration of B. exalatum extracts showed a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in all the elevated serum and significant increase (P < 0.05) in TP and ALB levels at all usage doses. These results indicate the maximum recovery was observed in 300 mg/kg/day. The histopathological changes i.e. fatty changes, necrosis etc were partly or fully prevented in animals treated with the extracts. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the extract of B. exalatum possessed hepatoprotective activity, which could be linked to their phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity this therefore requires further in-depth studies.

The aim of this study was to assess the HIV/AIDS health literacy in Yasuj and its related factors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a 21-item valid and reliable questionnaire was used. Our sample included 250 individuals aged 15- 49 years that selected by two-stage cluster sampling method and completed the questionnaire. Results: Average of health literacy scores of participants was 10.30 ± 3.36 and only 16.4 percent of them had adequate HIV/AIDS literacy. In modified regression model, there was a significant association between education (B= 0.40, p<0.001), being governmental staff (B=1.54, p=0.02), and low economic status (B= - 0.52, p=0.02) with HIV/AIDS literacy scores. Conclusions: Most of the individuals in this study had not enough HIV/AIDS literacy level. It seems that lack of access to information and services relevant to the HIV/AIDS complexity and disproportion of information with audience and inappropriate form of presenting health messages, cause low health literacy.

Diagnosis of arterial oxygen saturation in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) can be used to assess and manage their effecacy. The purpose of this study was to compare pulse oximetry and cardiac catheterizations in treatment manage of children with congenital heart disease. Methods: In the present cross sectional study, 110 patients with cyanic and non syani heart disease were studied undergoing right and left heart catheterization by pulse oximetry of index finger and simultaneously, oxygen saturation was measured by cardiac catheterization. Data were analyzed with SPSS software by using Pearson correlation and linear regression. Results: A significant correlation was seen between arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry and arterial oxygen saturation (p<0.0001) as well as heart rate, electrocardiogram and pulse oximetry (p<0.0001) respectively. Furthermore, the presence of cyanosis (p=0.001), digital clubbing of the fingers ((p=0.001), low oxygen saturation in the superior vena cava and right atrium (p=0.002) can reduce the accuracy of pulse oximetry for detection of arterial oxygen saturation. The mean right atrial pressure can effect on accuracy of pulse oximetry to detect heartbeat (p=0.034). Maximum sensitivity and specificity for detection of pulse oximetry oxygen saturation was 88 % and 88 heart rate per minute. Conclusion: Pulse oximetric is a useful tool for estimating the arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and is a non-invasive method in comparison with cardiac catheterization.
