چرا باید مقاله
بنویسیم؟
Why
we should write an article?
محسن رضائیان[1]
M. Rezaeian
دلایل بسیار زیادی برای نگارش یک مقاله وجود دارد.
اگرچه، همیشه تمامی این دلایل جنبه مثبت ندارند و این امکان وجود دارد که تعداد
بسیار اندکی از دانشمندان به دلایل منفی، اقدام به نگارش یک مقاله نمایند، تمرکز
در این سخن سردبیری تنها بر دلایل مثبتی [1] است که محرک انگیزه دانشمندان برای
نگارش یک مقاله میباشند:
1- توسعه دانش:
اگر شما یافتههای نوین حاصل از یک مطالعه پژوهشی دارید و یا به جمعبندی یافتههای
سایرین در قالب یک مطالعه مروری پرداخته و به موضوع جدیدی دست یافتهاید، اگر شما
نقطه نظر نوینی درباره یک موضوع دارید و یا اینکه نسبت به مقاله تازه منتشر شدهای،
ایرادی وارد میدانید و یا حتی در فعالیتهای روزمره خود با یک مورد یا موارد نادر
از یک بیماری و یا عارضه برخورد کردهاید، آن وقت ضرورت دارد که این یافتههای
نوین خود را به ترتیب در قالب یک مقاله پژوهشی اصیل، یک مقاله مروری، یک مقاله
نقطه نظرات شخصی، یک نامه به سردبیر، یک گزارش مورد و یا یک گزارش موارد به رشته
تحریر درآورید. بدون شک، این اقدام شما باعث توسعه دانش موجود خواهد شد.
2- حل مشکلات:
گاهی اوقات ممکن است شما با پژوهش خود، راه حل برخی از مشکلات مربوط با سلامت فرد،
خانواده، یک گروه اجتماعی و یا شغلی خاص و یا جامعه را کشف کرده باشید. آنگاه
ضروری است که برای ثبت یافتههای خود و در اختیار گذاشتن آن به سایرین به ویژه
برای کاربرد یافتههای مطالعه شما در شرایط مشابه، اقدام به نوشتن مقاله نمائید.
این قبیل تحقیقات در قالب تحقیقات مرتبط با نظام سلامت از اهمیت شایان توجهی
برخوردار میباشد.
همزمان با پوشش دادن یکی از دو دلیل اصلی فوق، نگارش
مقالات علمی میتواند به دلایل زیر نیز صورت پذیرد:
1- توسعه بخش،
سازمان و یا دانشگاه محل خدمت نویسنده: بدیهی است نگارش یک مقاله و چاپ آن در یک
مجله معتبر علمی منجر به توسعه بخش، سازمان و یا دانشگاه محل خدمت نویسندگان خواهد
گردید. این نکته نه تنها کمک خواهد کرد که سازمان یا دانشگاه محل خدمت نویسندگان
در سطح ملی و بینالمللی شناخته شده و آبروی علمی بهدست آورد، بلکه منجر به
افزایش دریافت بودجههای پژوهشی از طرف نهادهای دولتی و یا خصوصی نیز میگردد، چرا
که نشان میدهد این سازمان و یا دانشگاه دارای افراد با انگیزهای میباشد که میتوانند
پروژههای پژوهشی را تا رسیدن به نتایج مطلوب دنبال نمایند.
2- توسعه فردی:
همانند توسعه سازمان، نگارش مقالات علمی موجبات توسعه فردی نویسندگان خود را فراهم
میآورند. نگارش مقالات علمی موجب غنای کارنامه علمی نویسندگان خود را فراهم آورده
و برای آنها آبروی علمی مطلوبی را بههمراه خواهد داشت. چنین نکتهای سبب خواهد
شد که نویسندگان مقالات علمی از نظر ملی و بینالمللی مورد شناخت قرار گیرند و
نهادهای دولتی و یا خصوصی با طیب خاطر بیشتری، پروژههای پژوهشی خود را در اختیار
این محققین یا سازمانهای محل خدمت آنها قرار دهند.
بهعلاوه نگارش مقالات علمی کمک مینماید تا نویسندگان
آن بتوانند در سلسله مراتب اداری خود ارتقاء یابند. این نکته بیانگر آن است که
چطور یک دانشمند میتواند پلههای نردبان ارتقاء را بهدرستی طی نموده و در میان
همکاران خود، به مقامهای علمی بالاتری دست یابد.
همچنین، نگارش مقالات علمی خود یک روند یادگیری است.
شواهد موجود نشان میدهند که با نگارش مقالات علمی، نویسندگان تواناییهای علمی و
پژوهشی خود را ارتقاء میبخشند. آنها، نه تنها با جستجوی در منابع موجود، این
اطمینان را حاصل مینمایند که یافتههای علمی آنها قبلاً توسط فرد یا افراد دیگری
گزارش نشده است، بلکه با شناخت نقاط تاریک و یا تناقضات موجود در حوزه تخصص خود،
سعی در ارائه یافتههای نوین مینماید که این نقاط تاریک را روشن نموده و یا
تناقضات موجود را تفهیم نماید.
بنابراین، اگر دانشمندان اقدام به نگارش و چاپ مقاله در
حوزه تخصصی خود ننمایند، هیچکدام از موارد فوق محقق نمیگردد. همچنین، تمامی
موارد فوق زمانی در بهترین حالت خود محقق میگردند که مقاله چاپ شده، توسط سایر دانشمندان
در آن حوزه تخصصی مورد نقد، استفاده و استناد مثبت قرار گیرد.

Background and
Objective: A hidden curriculum is a side effect of an education, which are
learned but not openly intended” such as the transmission of norms, values, and
beliefs conveyed in the classroom and the social environment. It
also includes social implicit and
educational atmosphere that is not written but
is felt by all.
The aim of this study was to explain students' experiences from hidden
curriculum in university.
Materials and Methods: This is qualitative study on medical and paramedical students of Jahrom
Jniversity of Medical Sciences. Data gattering was from focus group sessions(5
group, 4-6 member) mixed with individual interview (deep semi structured
interview) on 25 students which continued to the point of data saturation. Data
were analyzed using content analysis.
Results: As a result during data analysis from 93 code, 6 thems and multiple subthemes were emerged: The value of teachers, errors management, value and
cultural conflicts, teachers' role model, social interaction and learning,
and routine tasks.
Conclusion: The results were expressed about the
dimensions of hidden curriculum may
have many challenges in different
aspects of the scientific, social and educational for students. The hidden
curriculum therfore needs attention to produce the necessary fundamental
changes in the culture of undergraduate medical education

Background and Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common causes of
chronic liver injury throughout the world. In this study, the preventive
effects of green tea extract on fatty liver disease induced by high fat diet is
assessed in the rats.
Materials
and Methods: In this experimental study, male Wistar rats were randomly divided to: Healthy control, Feeding with
high fat diet, Feeding with high fat diet plus Clofibrate treatment and Feeding with high fat diet plus Green tea extract
treatment groups. The rats treated with either high fat diet for induction of
hepatic steatosis and high fat diet plus Clofibrate or Green tea extract for
prevention of liver steatosis, at a period of 6 weeks. At the end of
experiment, Serum lipid profile, serum biomarkers of liver tissue injury and
hepatic antioxidant activity were statistically compared among the groups using
one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-tests. The biochemical findings were matched with
histopathological verifications.
Results: In the
rats fed with high-fat diet hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia were
created. In these animals,
increased serum levels of hepatocellular enzymes and significant reduction in
antioxidants as well as elevated hepatic lipid peroxidation index were
encountered (p=0.001). Extract treatment significantly reduced elevated markers
of liver tissue injury (p=0.023) and malondialdehyde (p=0.032),
and brought back the liver antioxidants (p=0.028) and the over accumulation of
serum lipids towards normal. Histopathology of the liver confirmed the changes
induced by high fat diet and the preventive effect of green tea extract.
Conclusion: Preventive
effect of green tea on fatty liver disease in the rats fed with high fat diet
is related to its antioxidant properties.

Background
and Objective: Studies indicated that
physical activity influences sleep
quality and inflammatory markers,
but not have been studied much the relationship between sleep quality and inflammatory markers caused
by physical activity. The aim of
the present study was to investigate the relationship between sleep quality with interleukin-1β and C - reactive protein in
active and non-active men.
Material and Methods: The present study is cross-sectional. Twenty-two healthy males aged 32-38 years
participated voluntarily in this study, and were divided into two non-active
(n=11) and active (n=11) groups. The non-active group were without sports history
and the active group had more than two years of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise history (moderate aerobic training 45 minutes/day, 3days/week). Fasting blood samples were taken from all subjects. Serum C-reactive protein and interleukin -1 beta was measured by ELISA method and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index Questionnaire
(PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality. The research data were analyzed using the independent t test, Pearson’s
correlation coefficient and Multiple
Linear Regression.
Results: IL-1β (p=0.015) and CRP (p=0.043) concentrations under the effect of physical activity in the active group compared to the
non-active group showed a significant decrease. The Sleep Quality Index score
was significantly lower in the active group compared to non-active group (p=0.021). A Significant relationship was observed between sleep
quality score, IL-1β (r=0. 571, p=0. 033) and CRP (r=0. 613, p=0. 012) concentrations in active men.
Conclusion: The present study
demonstrates that there is a significant relationship
between sleep quality
with IL-1β and
CRP levels in active men so that it may improve sleep
quality by reduction in inflammatory
markers.

Background
and Objective: Fungal pathogenesis is based on the fungal
compliance with environmental conditions and resistance to host cell defenseIn
this study, the freguency of Nosocomial Fungal Infections in hospitals are discussed.
Materials and
Methods :This
descriptive study was performed on 180 patients with suspected fungal
infections. Direct smear and culture samples were taken for mycology studies
and simultaneously Candida species were identified by diagnostic methods, such
as chromium agar and RFLP-PCR.
Results: Out of 134
cases of fungal infections, 53 cases (39.5%) of nosocomial infection and
81 cases (60.5%) of community acquired infection had been reported. The most
common nosocomial infection was in the ICU ward of Hospitals. The only major
cause of nosocomial fungal infections in this study, was genus Candida.
Conclusion: There are significant
differences in ferguency of nosocomial infection among the wards. Due to the
possibility of the fungal colonization spread and septicemia caused by fungi,
the prognosis of these infections nd
treatment of them if needed, is an important step in preventing possible risks of
these infections.

Background and
Objective: The
quality of the scientific journals is an index for scientific production of a
country. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the quality of all approved
the commission of medical journals published in Islamic Republic of Iran during
2011.
Materials
and Methods:
This study was cross-sectional and all the approved Persian and English
language medical journals published during 2011, in Islamic Republic of Iran were
studied. A checklist was completed for each of the journals. Data were analyzed
using X2, independent t test, one-way ANOVA and Fisher's exact test.
Results:
Out of 212
evaluated journals 89 (41.98%) were in English and 123 (58.02%) were in
Persian. Twenty seven English journals (38.6%) and 43 (61.4%) Persian journals had
delayed publications. Overall, 89 journals (41.9%) were considered as type 1
journals. Seventy three point seven of grade 3 journals were published in
Persian (28 journals). Most journals (176, 83%) were indexed in SID and least
(23, 10.8%) in Pubmed. Only 48 journals (22.6%) had indicated a conflict of

Background
and Objective: Since past
time, herbal plants have been used for the treatment of different abnormalities
such as gastrointestinal disorders. One of these herbs which used
in Iranian traditional medicine is Trachyspermum ammi. There are many
biological studies conducted for the determination of its pharmacological properties. The
present study was designed to find out the effects of methanolic fraction
derived from Trachyspermum ammi essense on mechanical activity of the
isolated rat’s ileum.
Materials and Methods: In this laboratory study, for evaluation of
spasmolythic property of fraction,
different doses of the solution were added to organ bath after acetylcholine
with concentration of 10-4 molar (M) and for assesment of
antispasmodic effect of fraction, different doses of the solution were added to
the organ bath before acetylcholine with concentration of 10-9 upto
10-2 M, then isotonic contraction of ileum were recorded through an isolated tissue chamber in an organ bath
by using isotonic transducer and oscillographic device. The results were
compared with thymol as a positive control.
Results: Our findings showed that different concentration of
metanolic fraction of Trachyspermum ammi 0.002, 0.005 & 0.01% on acetylcholine 10-4 M induced contraction in rat’s ileum resulted
in reduced contraction by the essense from concentration of 0.002% and higher.
So that the concentration of 0.002% was
reduced to 59.8% (P< 0.05) and concentration of 0.01% was reduced to
77.5% (P< 0.01). in addition thymol in concentration of 10-5
M & 10-4 M as compared with metanolic fraction of 0.002, 0.005
; 0.01% had no significant effect on
acetylcholine induced contraction.
Conclusion: Methanolic fraction derived from Trachyspermum
ammi essense has spasmolythic
and antispasmodic property.

Background and
Objective: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the main causes of
mortality in different human communities. Factor V Leiden, MTHFR C677T
polymorphism and PLA2 polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa
are important inheritance risk factors of VTE. As limited data of homozygous
factors exists, the aim of the study was to investigate the association between
homozygous polymorphisms and VTE in Shahrekord.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study,
EDTA venous blood was taken from 72 patients with venous thromboembolism
referred to Shahrekord Hajar Hospital, and 306 age and sex matched healthy
volunteers. Genotyping of factor V Leiden, MTHFR C677T and PLA2
polymorphisms was done by PCR-RFLP. Statistical analysis was done using
descriptive statistics and χ2 test.
Results: There was a significant difference between patients and
controls in the number of homozygous polymorphisms with the frequency of
16.77% and 4.90%, respectively (P=0.004).
Homozygous FVL was more prevalent in patients than controls, but the difference
was not significant. A significant difference was observed in the frequency of
homozygous MTHFR C677T and PLA2 polymorphisms between the patients
and controls (P=0.03 and P=0.001, respectively). The difference was not
significant in the frequency of heterozygous polymorphisms except for PLA2.
Conclusion: The results of the study show the association between
homozygous MTHFR and PLA2 thrombophilia polymorphisms and VTE in Shahrekord.
Acquired risk factors may need to be controlled in homozygous carriers of these
polymorphisms. Homozygous VTE carriers may need to be managed differently than
other patients.

Background and Objective: Today researchers consider
sports as one of the methods of reinforcing psychological parameters
development. The purpose of the present study was to compare
psychological well-being in the athlete and non-athlete (ordinary) students.
Materials and Methods: This was
a cross sectional study and the statistical population included all high school
students of Miyandoab city during 2012-2013 educational year. The statistical
sample of the research included 100 athlete student and 100 non-athlete student
who were selected through multistage cluster sampling. The participants
answered Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scale (with 0.68 reliability). Data
were analyzed using independent two sample t-test and multivariate analysis of
variance (MANOVA).
Results: Results of t-test revealed
that psychological well-being of the athlete students (81.86±14.89) was significantly higher
than non-athlete students (76.13±9.22) (p<0.001). Results of
multivariate analysis of variances indicated that positive relationship with
others and purpose in life of athlete students (13.82±3.89 and
14.97±3.43,
respectively) were significantly
higher than non-athlete students (11.74±2.73 and 12.50±2.80 respectively) (p<0.001), while there
was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of
self-acceptance, environmental mastery, personal growth and autonomy (p>0.05).
Conclusions: The results revealed that
athlete students were in better position with regard to psychological
well-being, positive relationship with others and purpose in life
than non-athlete students.
