Abstract: The aim of this study is to assess the level of job satisfaction and factors

affecting job satisfaction .The main idea of the study is to survey the relationship

between job satisfaction and the influence of demographic factors.To study this

cross-sectional study we focused on 221 professionals in nursing in six educational

hospitals in zahedan city, in Iran in 2002-2003.Two survey questionnaires

consisting of 154 items judged on a 5 point Likert-type scale, each were

administered one to leaders and one for other employees in nursing. We

investigated the correlation between independent variables (age, number of years

of employment, manager's attitude, leader's characteristics, and managerial

competencies of leaders) and the dependent variable (job satisfaction – work

contentment, coworkers, administration, pay, etc) by using correlation analysis.

Method: This is a descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study performed over the

community of all educated nurses that were working in six educational hospitals of

Zahedan city in 2002-2003. The structured survey appliance distributed among

nurses included 154 questions evaluated on a five point Linkert- type scale. The

questionnaire contained information on two parts, including demographic

information and the questions related to the job satisfaction. The data collected

through questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS statistical Microsoft, the Mon＆ Tine, Kruskal-Wallis based co-efficiency were used. The data collected revealed

statistically significant indices such as benefits, participating in making decisions,

qualification, routine, chances for prosperity apart from their hospitals and their job

back –up.Results: Job satisfaction rate was 48.0± 13.0 in men and 51.5± 14.5 in

women (table 1). Of all the educated nurses (221) that took part in this research

field, 78.3% were women and the rest were men. And the nursery background was

8.5± 6.34 years and the nursery working time was 42± 1.12 hours per week. 95.9%

were B.Sci. Graduates. and 75.1% were married. Discussion & Conclusion:

Results of this study showed that the most job satisfaction has been based on

nursery human being’s accomplishment and knowledge, patient’s serving interest

and good relation with other clerks. And the least rate of job satisfaction was seen

all connected with some factors, such as lack of proper income and the job design

and also, in spite of job interests and desires and friendly atmosphere of work place

there were some fiscal problems that caused the reduction of nurses satisfaction.

acceptable and discrimination index less than 0. 3, and as well as negative

discrimination index were considered

unacceptable. If questions with distracting options were not. Selected by students

as question choice they were also

considered unacceptable. Results: Results showed that only 40% of the questions

were indexed as difficulty coefficiency

(Difficulty Index) and 36.5% questions with discrimination co- efficiency

(Discrimination Index) were

considered acceptable. Out of every four options, only 41% of the questions

attracted students' attention and rest of

the questions became three, two or even one option, and only 12% of questions

based on the above three factors

were having acceptable attributes. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate

Abstract: Oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSF) is a precancerous condition caused by

the use of areca nut in various

forms. There are few reports on areca nut use and OSF in Chabahar, south Iran. In

this descriptive, analytical and

cross-sectional study 397 users of Pan / Gutka (products contain areca nut) were

studied to survey the oral

submucosal fibrosis. The criterion of diagnosis of OSF in this study was the

limitations of mouth opening and stiff

fibrotic bands within the mucosa. Information about the amount of consumption,

kind of substance used, and

duration of consumption was mentioned in the questionnaire. Data were analyzed

and studied by, SPSS 14, c hisquare

test. Of 397 Pan (Areca nut) / Gutka consumers (391 men and 6 women), 70

participants (17.63%) men and

one woman (0.25%) were affected by OSF. The risk of OSF in Gutka consumers

(20%) was more than pan users

(17.54%). Duration, dose and frequency of consumption were significantly

associated with OSF occurrence (p<

0.05). Recent study indicated strong relationship between consumption of products

containing areca nut with OSF.

Abstract: Regular physical activity is one of the factors that act positively on

health. Nowadays, with highly

developed multimedia technologies,such as computers and computer games attract

children and teens, as a result

children tend to have less physical activity. According to the WHO report one of

the ten leading causes of death and

disability in the world, is sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity. Given

the use of television, computers,

computer games and the physical activities of children and their parents were

studied. This cross-sectional,

descriptive,and analytical study was conducted on 120 elementary school students

and their parents, in 2012 , in

Zahedan city, Iran. Information by using a questionnaire about demographic, and

children and their parents’

physical activity and children time spent on watching television and using

computers, was collected. The results of

this study showed that only 43.7 students had regular physical activity, and

meanwhile, only 42.7% of fathers and

24.5% mothers had physical activity. In children the average time of watching

television per day was 2.5 hours, and

mean time of computer use during a day was 1 hour. Consistent with many studies,

this study showed that a

significant percentage (56.3%) of children aged 7-12 years had no regular exercise

program, On average children

engaged 2.5 hours in watching television and 1 hour using computers a day..In a

similar study it has been reported

students spent about 3 hours watching television a day( 14 ). In another study It has

been reported that average time

engaged by students in watching television and computer games a day and night

was 9 hours ( 15 ). This is because,

based on research it was found about 15% of adolescents in different regions of

Iran , due to physical inactivity are

affected by overweight and obesity . If such lifestyle continues in future obesity

will be a major health problem in

teens and high treatment costs will be imposed on individuals and society in this

area. In the absence of proper

planning problems will be increased in the future. [Javid Dehghan Haghighi,

ABSTRACT

Background: Teucrium polium is an analgesic, antidiabetic and antilipeidemic

herbal medicament. The aim

of this survey was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract T. polium on liver

enzymes linked to liver

dysfunction, serum lipids and glucose, in diabetic male rats. Methods: A total of

20 Sprague-Dawly male rats

became diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). the

animals were divided randomly

into two groups. Experimental group was fed Teucrium polium (50 mg/kg) for a

month but control group was

received the same volume of distilled water. Liver enzymes, biochemical

parameters (cholesterol, triglyceride,

low density lipoprotein, alanine transaminase, aspartae transaminase) and glucose

were measured by kinetic

(Enzymatic) and colorimetric methods. Data obtained were analyzed and mean

values were compared by

paired student's t-test. The results were expressed as mean ± SD. Significant

differences were set at P<0.05.

Results: Our results showed that in test group, serum glucose values decreased

significantly (P<0.05), but

cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein, alanine transaminase and aspartae

transaminase increased

significantly after use of T. polium (P<0.05). This parameters value did not show

any changes in control

group. Conclusion: Although the aqueous extract of Teucrium polium has strong

hypoglycemic properties in

experimental animals, but because of some hepatotoxic effects, it is not suitable to

use it in human as an

antidiabetic agent. Iran. Biomed. J. 11 (1): 65-68, 2007

Compliance of Medical Studies Published in International Journals with Community Health Needs in 2008. Abstract: Research is to investigate and understand the facts and a plan for discovering the unknown truth. Research can be known as a logical process that its purpose is to explore the relationships between phenomena which will result in human growth and excellence. Scientific productions and publishing them in scientific journals is one of the major indices of research and science production in the world. Considering the role of journals which have provided proper conditions for production and transfer of knowledge, it is possible to determine the direction of scientific research of medical researchers by reviewing the content of articles published in the health field. The aim of the present study is to determine the compliance of medical research topics with the issues which are known as the major causes of mortality in the world. Methods: In this survey study, the publishing status of pa`pers has been investigated to

determine the scientific direction of medical researchers in a year. Ten leading causes of death worldwide announced by the World Health Organization in 2008 were selected. Keywords of mortality factors were determined, then entered in the Mesh medical subject headings and the proposed words were determined. Then, the new keywords were searched in the Pubmed database. The obtained data was entered into the SPSS V.15 software and were analyzed using the chi-square test at a significant level of P<0.05. The results showed that the researchers in the field of human health have not considered the issue of mortality as the main priority in their researches. The direction of their studied shows another orientation. Universities were also negligent to achieve their mission which is the resolving of the health problems of people. University-affiliated publications also were not active to reflect the results of scientific research of their faculty members. So that the results of medical researches of faculty members, have mainly been published in the university-nonaffiliated journals Conclusion: A material incentive is one of the important factors which influence the discrepancies between the studied issues and the community health care needs. The role of scientific journals and their custodians in determining the research priorities is very important. Besides health researches, financial support will help developing the medical sciences. But, these developments should be taking into account the health care needs of people. Otherwise, this notion is found in the community that physicians have been away from their original mission and the sacred medical profession achieved commercialization

Abstract

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder. Although the etiology of PMS is not clear,

to relieve from this syndrome different methods are recommended. One of them is use of

medicinal herbs. This study was carried out to evaluate effects of ginger on severity of symptoms

of PMS. This study was a clinical trial, double-blinded work, and participants were randomly

allocated to intervention (n = 35) and control (n = 35) groups. To determine persons suffering

from PMS, participants completed daily record scale questionnaire for two consecutive cycles.

After identification, each participant received two ginger capsules daily from seven days before

menstruation to three days after menstruation for three cycles and they recorded severity of the

symptoms by daily record scale questionnaire. Data before intervention were compared with date

1, 2, and 3 months after intervention. Before intervention, there were no significant differences

between the mean scores of PMS symptoms in the two groups, but after 1, 2, and 3 months of

treatment, there was a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.0001). Based on the

results of this study, maybe ginger is effective in the reduction of severity of mood and physical

and behavioral symptoms of PMS and we suggest ginger as treatment for PMS

Abstract: Protozoan Toxoplasma gondi is an important cause of serious infections spreading among the human

population and domestic animals in the world and the chronic phase in animals is after asymptomaticsyndromes.

What's disease, acute infection, asymptomatic? In allcases of acute infection due to the persistence of parasite cysts

observed, the disease is caused by the reactivation of cysts. Married women exposed to the disease could predispose

them to disease, This study aimed at determining the level of IgG antibodies at the time of their marriage counseling

has been done in Zahedan. During this descriptive – analytical study, 280 women referring to the Razmjoo

moghaddam central laboratory of Zahedan from February 2009- to December 2009 were measured for IgG by

ELISA method. Then blood samples were taken from them and the level of blood IgG antibody was measured by

ELISA method and the results with obtained IgM measurement and their relationship with demographic issues,

including those of residence, education level, were noted. Home cat care and pet at home, and how the meat is

cooked were surveyed.28.2% of patients with type IgG antibodies were having significant positive correlation with

the maintenance of home cats and how the meat was cooked. In other words, women who kept cats in their home

and had half-cooked or raw meat to eat, showed increased positive antibody. The results of these studies indicated

that a high percentage of susceptible women of childbearing in Zahedan city, were without a note of antibodies

against Toxoplasma and thus they are susceptible to infection. Thus in order to prevent infection of susceptible

pregnant women and prevent problems that may arise during pregnancy, awareness and control of pathogens

associated with disease, education and health care practice, are recommended.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of death among children worldwide. This study was conducted to evaluate the antibiotic resistance patterns and seroepidemiology of invasive S. pneumoniae isolates in children of Zahedan. Invasive isolates of S. pneumoniae were obtained from normal sterile sites (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, joint aspirate, peritoneal fluid and pericardial fluid) of pediatric patients (aged ≤14 years) from 3 large hospitals in Zahedan, Iran. The serotyping was carried out by latex agglutination test and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of penicillin, as well as other commonly used antibiotics were determined by broth dilution method. During February 2008 to November 2010, a total of 1265 children with suspected invasive bacterial disease were recruited, of whom 75 (5.9%) were identified to have S. pneumoniae as the causative agent of invasive disease. The leading serotypes were 23F, 6B, 3, 19F and 14 (70.7% of all isolates). Intermediate- and high-level resistance, were observed in 37.3 and 45.4% of isolates respectively. Resistance was also demonstrated against erythromycin (90.7%), cotrimoxazole (80.0%), tetracycline (66.6%), cefuroxime (62.7%), imipenem (17.3%) and amoxicillin/clavulanate (9.2%). All the isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and levofloxacin. Multiple drug resistance was observed mostly in types 19F, 23F, 6B and 14. The application of heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) covered 68.0% of all IPD cases, 42.7% of the penicillin-nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae (PNSSP), and 48.0% of the multiple drug resistant (MDR) isolates. The highest PNSSP prevalence and highest PCV7 coverage were in children aged <2

years. Antibiotic resistance was common among invasive isolates of S. pneumoniae in Zahedan. The present study suggests that the introduction of anti-pneumococcal conjugate vaccines into immunization programme would likely lead to a significant reduction of IPD- associated morbidity among children in Zahedan.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Most women experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) at their reproductive

age. PMS is a combination of psychological, physical and behavioral changes that interfere with familial

communication and social activities. OBJECTIVES: Different methods have been suggested for treating

PMS and one of them is herbal medicine. This study was done to evaluate the effects of curcumin on

severity of PMS symptoms. METHODS: This research was a clinical trial, double-blinded study. After

having identified persons suffering from PMS, participants were randomly allocated to placebo (n=35)

and curcumin (n=35) groups. Then each participant received two capsules daily for seven days before

menstruation and for three days after menstruation for three successive cycles and they recorded

severity of the symptoms by daily record questionnaire. RESULTS: The baseline level of PMS symptoms

of before intervention did not differ between groups. While after three consecutive cycles treatment

with curcumin, total severity of PMS score had reduced from 102.06±39.64 to 42.47±16.37 (mean

change: 59.59; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 46.19-72.99) and in Placebo, total severity of PMS score

changed from 106.06±44.12 to 91.60±43.56 (mean change: 14.45; 95% CI: 2.69 to 26.22). Furthermore,

difference between mean changes was significant (mean difference: 45.14; 95% CI: 6.10-14.98).

CONCLUSIONS: Our results for the first time showed a potential advantageous effect of curcumin in

attenuating severity of PMS symptoms, which were probably mediated by modulation of

neurotransmitters and anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin.

Assessment of Radioactivity in Plants Socialite Water

S.A. Hosseini and M. Jayapalan

ABSTRACT

Water, soil and plants sources are concentrators of radioactivity

and constitute a good indicator for radioactive contamination in

the arid environment. There were few data for radioactivity in

arid, semi-natural ecosystem. Radioactivity of soil, water and

plant in the eastern arid border of Iran was unknown. This has

been measured in sources of plant, soil and water as samples for

assessment of radioactivity. The results showed that the mean

radioactivity in plant is 772±95 Bq per kg dry plant, in soil is

268±50 Bq per kg dry soil and in water is 216±31 Bq per liter

waste. Therefore, radioactivity concentration of ionizing radiation

in plants is more than water and soil sources in eastern arid

border of Iran, Sistan and Blouchestan province.

Correspondence ABSTRACT Background: Academic staff in the University is engaged in education and research activities, and in

upgrading process each of two issues should be considered. In this study impact of faculty promotion which is result of research

activities of faculty on level of student learning and eventually, its effects are reflected in basic science comprehensive exams of

Medical students in zahedan. Methodology: This study is a cross-sectional study, carried out to check the faculty promotion impact

due to research activities on GPA (Grade point average), standard score, classification and rating of each group, ranking of different

groups of school of Medicine in zahedan. Results: Available results of GPA, standard score, classification and ratings of all subjects

except one or two showed negative correlation co-efficiency at a level of p<o.o5 with faculty promotion, respectively in these nineteen

terms. Discussion: Faculty Research Activities had no any impact on basic science exam results of many groups. Conclusion: According

to these results it appears the present criteria of faculty Research Activities has no any positive influence on student's education. To

put in nut shell, we can say that these findings suggest that research and educational activities at present are not aligned, but they are

moving in two different directions.
