Background and Objective: Finding an effective
way to improve body composition and muscular strength with resistance training,
has engaged researchers.
Previous studies have shown that proper nutrition is one of these ways. The
purpose of this study is to review the effect of resistance training accompanied
by nutritional education on the body composition and muscular strength in
non-athlete male students.
Materials and
Methods: This study was a
clinical trial, which was done on a population of 32 non-athletes college
students which randomly divided into four groups, Education - Resistance
training (RT), Resistance
training, Education and control. The instruments for data collection were a
nutritional questionnaire, record of all the foods for three days and
measurement of some of the anthropometric indices. This study lasted for 6-
weeks with educational
intervention and the resulting data analyzed by paired t-test, one-way analysis
of variance and TUKEY multiple comparisons test.
Results: The results showed that subjects'
weight in Education- RT and resistance training groups has significant
increase. Fat changes in three groups of Education- RT, Resistance training and
Education showed a important decrease and BMI, maximum muscular strength and muscular hypertrophy
in Education- RT and Resistance training groups showed a consequential increase
(p<0.05).
Conclusion: This study showed that doing resistance
training along with nutritional education brings about greater improvement in
body composition and muscular strength.

Background and Objective: Birth weight is the most
important indicator of infant’s health and this critical index is directly
related to mother's health. Hence, knowledge of maternal diseases could be
considered as an effective factor in maintaining infant ideal weight.
Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between maternal
diseases and birth weight.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was
conducted on Rafsanjan-Niknafs maternity in 2011-2012. The inclusion criteria were
being Iranian, live births, gestational age of 22 weeks and above and birth weight of >500 g. Data were
collected by questionnaires and analyzed by statistical tests including independent
t-test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, one-way ANOVA and multiple linear
regression.
Results: In given sample, 4193 mothers
were healthy (83.6%) and 825 mothers had underlying diseases (16.4%). The average
and standard deviation of age in healthy and sick mothers were 27.37 ± 5.14 and 29.99 ±
5.59 years old, respectively (p<0.001). There was a significant difference
between mother’s diseases and birth weight, as infant weight gain of healthy
mothers was 89 (2.2%), of diabetics 25 (5.8%), of the hypertensive 10 (4.4%),
and of mothers who had more than one disease 4 (5.8%) (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of
weight disorders in Rafsanjan and the impact of mother’s diseases on this
important health index, it is necessary to identify and provide special control
care for mothers during pregnancy.

Background and
Objective: Performance of resin composites depend on their polymerization rate. Minimum curing time to achieve desired polymerization rate is
40 seconds. P60 resin composite manufacturer has claimed reduced curing time as one of the
advantages of this resin composite. Since increasing the lifetime of light curing unit and reducing the treatment period is important in pediatric dentistry, however the aim of this study
was to compare the polymerization rate of P60 resin composite with 20 and 40 seconds intervals by Halogen and LED curing units.
Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 40 disks from resin composite were provided with 5-mm
diameter and 2-mm
thickness. The samples were randomly divided into four groups each containing ten disks. The
specimens of the first and second groups were cured for 20 and 40 seconds by
Halogen units, respectively. Also, the third and fourth groups were cured by
LED for 20 and 40 seconds, respectively. Polymerization rate was evaluated by
spectroscopy device. Data were analyzed using two way ANOVA
(α=0.05).
Results: Two-way ANOVA test showed that regardless of the type of device, the polymerization rate was significantly higher at 40 seconds compared to 20 seconds. Also, the polymerization rate by Halogen units was meaningfully higher than the LED
units. Nevertheless, in both units, the rate of polymerization was acceptable at 20 seconds duration.
Conclusion: Considering the limitations of a laboratory study, it seems
that regardless of the type of light curing unit, 20
seconds is enough to cure P60 resin composite.

Background
and Objective: Despite
advantages of exercise, most students in various countries do not exercise
adequately. Transtheoretical model has been identified as a comprehensive model
for behavior change and self-efficacy is regarded as a fundamental structure of this
model. Hence, in this study, physical exercise among paramedical students of
Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences based on stages of changes model and
the association with self-efficacy have been evaluated.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study,
284 paramedical students of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences
participated. In order to gather information a questionnaire consisting of demographic data, exercise
behavior and physical activity, exercise behavior level and self-efficacy was
used. To examine the association between variables, Mann-Whitney U test,
Kruskal-Wallis H Test and Spearman's correlation coefficient (rs)
were performed.
Results: On the whole, 81 males (28.5%)
and 203 females (71.5%) with the mean age of 20.23±2.30 years participated.
From 284 cases, 72 ones (25.3%) were in precontemplation stage, 80 (28.2%) in
contemplation, 51 (18%) in preparation stage, 39 (13.7%) in action stage, 15
(5.3%) in maintenance stage, 20 (7.0%) in advanced stage and 7 ones (2.5%)were
unknown. There were found significant association between self-efficacy and
variables of stages of change (p<0.001) and exercise behavior (p<0.001).
Conclusion:
According to
this study, self-efficacy plays an important role in exercise behavior. The
association among student self-efficacy and the stages of exercise behavior
change indicates an increase in student’s self-efficacy with progress of stage
of behavior changes. These results suggest a mutual association between
self-efficacy and physical activity.

Background and
Objective: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most
prevalent metabolic diseases
and causes testicular damage by rising
oxidative stress. Using antioxidants reduces oxidative stress and the
amount of testicular damage. In
this study, the
effect of garlic extract on markers of oxidative
stress in diabetic rats testes has
been studied.
Materials
and Methods: In
this experimental study, 24 male Wistar rats
were randomly divided into three groups:
Control, Diabetic and Diabetic with
garlic extract. Control and diabetic
groups received distilled water (1ml/100g BW) and diabetic with garlic
extract received garlic extract (1ml/100g BW,equivalent to 400 mg/100 g BW) for 6
weeks. Diabete was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin at a dosage of 60 mg/kg BW. After 6 weeks, the
right testis removed and activity of oxidative stress enzymes including
malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were
studied.
Results:
Treatment of diabetic rats with garlic extract significantly
reduced blood glucose levels (p<0.001). Also during diabete, the
level of MDA enzymes activity was increased and the level of SOD and CAT enzymes activity decreased in the testes. Treatment with the garlic extract significantly improved these parameters (p<0.001).
Conclusion:
The results of this study confirm the antioxidant role of garlic
extract on improving the testicular damage caused by diabete.

Background
and Objectives: Patients
play a major role in controlling and treatment of hypertension. Therefore, to
be aware of different aspects of this disease is very important for these
patients. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Hygienic Belief
Model (HBM) on the health education of patients with hypertension.
Materials and Methods: This study was an educational trial. Two hundred
hypertensive patients attending health centers in Bam city, were selected to
participate in this study (100 in intervention group and 100 in control group).
The educational intervention was conducted during three 60-minute sessions.
Data were collected by a validity and reliability questionnaire containing(64
questions) before educational intervention and three months after it. Data was
analysed by chi-square, Fisher's exact, paired t-test and independent t-test.
Results: After intervention, knowledge
scores increased in the intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.001).
Perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits and barriers,
cues in order to action, and self-efficacy significantly increased in the
intervention group compared to the control one (p<0.001). But, there was no addition
or significant difference in the control group. Also systolic and diastolic
blood pressures significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to
the control one (p<0.05).
Conclusion: HBM was effective in educating
hypertensive patients. Therefore, it is proposed to apply the HBM in training
hypertensive patients as well as traditional training methods.

Background and
Objective: It has been used medicinal herbs
for treatment of different abnormalities in traditional medication. One of
these herbal medicine used in Iranian traditional medicine is Satureja
that many biological studies conducted
for determination of its pharmacological properties. Due to many reports around
the effect of above-mentioned herb on gastrointestinal system, this present
study was designed to find out the effects of Satureja essence on mechanical
activity of the isolated rat’s ileum.
Materials and Methods: In this study, by using an physiograph
device, the spasmolytic property of Satureja essence with concentration of 25, 50, 100 & 200 ng/ml
were recorded on ileum isotonic contraction induced by acetylcholine10-4 M.
Results: Our findings showed that
Satureja essence with concentration of
less than 100 ng/ ml has no effect on acetylcholine 10-4 M induced contraction in rat’s ileum but the
higher concentration of essense reduced acetylcholine-induced contraction which is statistically significant p<0.05.
These effects as compared to positive control of carvacrol is not significant.
Conclusion: Satureja essence significantly
reduced acetylcholine (10-4 M) induced contraction therefore this
essence may be useful for reduction of small intestine disorders.
