Abstract
Background: The Bardet Biedl syndrome is a heterogenous and autosomal recessive disorder. Primary features are: retinitis pigmentosa, obesity, polydactyly, mental retardation, renal abnormalities and hypogonadism. Renal failure is the major cause of death in homozygote patients, with chronic glomerolopathy that cause chronic renal disease. Secondary features are: speech disorder delay, developmental delay, polyuria, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The diagnosis of Bardet- Biedl syndrome is established by clinical findings. Twelve genes are known to be associated with Bardet Biedl syndromes: BBS1, BBS2… BBS12.
Case presentation: In this article we report a four and half year old boy that have Bardet Biedl syndrome as a result of a consanguine marriage (third degree).
Conclusion: A monogenic syndrome such as Bardet Biedl has a lot of symptoms. These symptoms are out put of a mutation in locus of a recessive allel. Therefore people like to marry consanguinly have to do genetic counseling before marriage. Because analysis of family history will reduced the risk of such syndromes.

Abstract
Background: Epidermolysis Bolusa is a great challenge for all anesthesiologists. In this disease even indirect touch and pressure can cause boluses or wounds on skin and membranes of body.
Case report: In this paper we introduce two Epidermolysis Bolusa patients who were brought to the operation room for the amnion graft of finger fusion.
Conclusion: For anesthetic management of these patients, when surgery does not need muscle relaxation and mechanical ventilation, Ketamine is recommended for the prevention of airway manipulation.

Abstract
Background : Metacognitive beliefs interact with emotional disorders and this matter can be used in educational programs and psychological interventions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and anxiety and depression.
Materials and Methods: In this correlation study, at first, 140 persons were chosen with cluster sampling method. They completed 3 questionnaires including Cartwright-Hatton and Wells metacognition questionnaire, Cattell Anxiety questionnaire and Beck depression questionnaire. Then we used multiple regression, in order to analyze 117 persons' data ( 84 males, 33 females), who had average age 31.6 with standard deviation 6.8.
Results: The results indicated that there is a positive relationship between metacognitive beliefs anxiety and depression. Metacognitive beliefs, correlation coefficient with anxiety was 0.59 and 0.67 with depression. Two metacognitive belief's components, cognitive competence and uncontrollability, can predict 40% of anxiety variance and 50% of depression variance. Moreover, belief's component about uncontrollability and belief about cognitive competence have positive relations with trait anxiety and belief's component about uncontrollability has positive relation with state anxiety.
Conclusion: The results of this study, like other previous researches, show that paying attention to metacognitive beliefs in educational programs and psychological interventions can be effective in prevention, decrease and treatment of emotional disorders.

Abstract
Background: Q fever is a widespread zoonotic disease that is caused by obligate intracellular bacteria, Coxiella burnetii. Raw milk or dairy products that are produced from unpasteurized milk may contain virulent Coxiella burnetii. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of C. burnetii in raw and unpasteurized cow bulk tank milk samples of traditional domestic dairy products vendors in Khorramabad, Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this cross - sectional study a total of 120 raw and unpasteurized cow bulk tank milk samples in traditional domestic dairy products vendors were collected from October 2015 to November 2015 and tested for C. burnetii used a nested PCR assay.
Results: In this survey, 9 out of 120 (7.5%) raw and unpasteurized cow bulk tank milk samples were found PCR positive for C. burnetii.
Conclusion: The Results of this study indicate that raw and unpasteurized cow bulk tank milk samples in traditional domestic dairy products vendors are an important source of C. burnetii infection in Khorramabad.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes may be associated with an imbalance between the protective effects of antioxidants and increased production of free radicals. Oxidative stress also appears to contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. In this study the effect of endurance exercise with cinnamon bark extract on antioxidant activity levels and cardiac index in streptozotocin- (STZ) induced DM in male rats were investigated.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 50 male Wistar rats weight: 200-232 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=10): 1. Healthy control (CO), 2. Diabetic control (CD), 3. Diabetic + cinnamon extract treatment (D+CZ), 4. Diabetic + exercise training (D+EX), 5. Diabetic + cinnamon extract treatment + exercise training (D+EX+CZ). In D+EX+CZ group, the animals practiced endurance training for 8 weeks after becoming diabetic, and at the same times each rat has received 200 mg/kg cinnamon hydro alcoholic extract by gavage daily for 8 weeks.
Results: Exercise training in D+EX and D+EX+CZ significantly prevented the decrease in heart weight compared to DC and D+CZ groups. The activity of the antioxidant enzyme (catalase) in the D+EX+CZ group increased significantly compared to the control group. Superoxide dismutase also increased significantly in all groups compared to the control group. Also, the activity of GPX enzyme (glutathione peroxidase) in D+EX+CZ and D+CZ groups showed a significant increase compared to the control group.
Conclusion: The increased GPX, CAT and SOD activity and prevented the decrease in heart weight induced by combined intervention of cinnamon extract and endurance training may attenuate oxidative stress in diabetic rats

Abstract
Background: Cancer remains the second leading cause of death globally, with more than half of cancer cases occurring in developing countries. For cancer prevention and control, we need to determine the burden of cancer and its changes according to diverse factors, such as age and gender. It is mandatory to expand the cancer registration system and supervise its functions carefully. The information obtained from Lorestan Cancer Registry will be utilized for therapeutic, research, and academic purposes.
Materials and Methods: The residents of Lorestan province from 2014-2017 were regarded as the target population. The registered cancer cases in pathology centers, medical records, imaging centers, and death registration centers were considered the incident cases. Crude and age-standardized incidence rates were calculated using the standard population of the World Health Organization. We used the population census of 2010 and 2015 for calculations. The data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 26). The significance level was set at 0.05.
Results: In this study, the rate of cancer in Lorestan was higher in men (103.37 per 100,000) than that in women (83.30 per 100,000). The most common registered cancers in Lorestan were stomach, breast, and skin. Within the study period time, the highest median age scores (in years) were recorded as 74, 69, and 66 for prostate, esophagus, and stomach cancers, while the lowest median age scores were reported as 45, 43, and 48 for the brain, thyroid , and breast cancers, respectively.
Conclusion: The incidence of colorectal and lung cancer is on the rise in Lorestan province, which needs more investigation. It is necessary to review the administration of the cancer registration program to ensure that the contribution of data collection resources is reasonable and within the expected range. The incidence rate of some cancers in Borujerd was higher than that in the entire province, which requires etiological studies.

Abstract
Background: A high-fat diet can cause obesity and endanger health. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high-fat diet, continuous moderate-intensity training, and high-intensity intermittent training on the gene expression levels of PLIN2 and ATGL in the twin muscles of male Wistar rats.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n=8): 1- control group with a standard diet (ND) 2- control group with a high-fat diet (HFD) 3- high-fat diet and continuous aerobic training with Moderate intensity (HFD+MICT) 4- high-fat diet and intermittent aerobic training (HFD+HIIT). For one training group, eight weeks of moderate-intensity continuous aerobic training (MICT), and for the other group, eight weeks of high-intensity intermittent aerobic training (HIIT) were performed on the treadmill. Then, 48 hours after the last training session, the twin muscle tissue was isolated to check the expression of PLIN2 and ATGL genes. Gene expression analysis was done by Real-time PCR technique. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's post-hoc test were used to analyze the collected data.
Results: After eight weeks of training, the level of PLIN2 gene expression in the two training groups was significantly lower than in the HDF group, and the level of ATGL gene expression was significantly higher in both groups than in the HDF group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: It was shown that two exercises had a modulating effect on the expression of genes that are effective in the process of autophagy and the formation of fat cells.
