Volume 13, Issue 3 (12-2011)
Abstract
Background : Heated meat products such as sausage are one of the most adherents in Iran. So it needs to be controlled and detected its fault for food security. The aim of the study was to determine the amount of Hydroxyproline in sausages produced by manufactures located in khorramabad. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out on 30 samples of sausages produced by Golbahar manufacture in Khorramabad city, 2009 summer. Samples were collected from one production line based on sampling principals, and were transferred to laboratory on proper condition. Amount of Hydroxyproline was measured by spectrophotometery method. Collagen and collagen nitrogen were calculated by formula. Data were entered to SPSS software and were analyzed by one way t test. Results: Mean and standard deviation of Hydroxyproline was 0.017 and 0.009 g/ 100, respectively. This amount was less than standard amount in Iran. Collagen and collagen nitrogen were 0.13±0.07 and 0.02±0.01 g/100, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, the amount of Hydroxyproline, collagen and collagen nitrogen of sausages produced by Golbahar manufacture were less than Iranian standard amounts. So fault probability in this product may be low.

Abstract

Background : Studies have shown, about 20 to 80 percent of hemodialysis patients have sleep problems that can lead to reduction of their quality of life. With regard to high number of hemodialysis patients in the present age, promoting the level of their health issues are deemed important. In this regared, the purpose of this research was to determine the effect of foot massage on night sleeping in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: This experimental clinical trial design, was conducted on 80 hemodialysis patients, admitted to the hemodialysis wards of Shahid Rahimi and Shohada hospitals of Khorramabad city in 2014. Data gathering was done by Pittsburg questionnaire and Sleep Log, by which the sleep condition of the subjects was assessed before and after the night of massage therapy. The treatment was Stroke Foot Massage, carried out during dialysis for 10 minutes, three times a week, for four consecutive weeks. Results: Changes in the Pittsburg questionnaire score indicated that, using foot massage can improve sleep quality of hemodialysis patients and sleep hours increased and generally sleep condition was progressively improving each week than the week before (p<0/001). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, foot massage has a favorable impact on sleep quality in hemodialysis patients undergoing hemodialysis and can be applied and trained as a useful method to improve sleep quality of patients in hemodialysis wards.


The effect of massage therapy on restless leg syndrome
Rahim Mirnasuri, Sahar Sabzevari,
Volume 17, Issue 4 (2-2016)
Abstract

Background: Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a kind of mal-movement which is identified by too much movement of the feet during rest. Although a host of scientific resources have pointed to the significant effect of massage on this disease, no well-designed study to date has explored the efficiency of massage on the RLS.

Materials and methods: This study adopted a quasi-experimental design with pre-and post-test. Two groups served as the participants of the study. Experimental group received treatment, while control group received no intervention. Both groups were pre- and post-tested. The participants were 300 male and female students (at higher education centers of Lorestan province), whose age ranged from 18 to 30 years. Also, their height ranged from 155-1990, while their weight was 55-85 kg. A researcher-made questionnaire, including multiple-choice questions associated with RLS which show gravity of the mal-movement on a four-point Likert scale from very weak to very strong. T-test was used for data analysis.

Results: The results of the study  showed that a period of massage therapy had a significant effect on tingling therapy on the foot, the foot throbbing, burning feet, the sudden jump feet, sleep the sleep quality

Conclusion: The current study revealed that performing a massage-therapy protocol have a significant effect on reducing the symptoms of RLS.


The Effect of Virginiamycin, Medicinal Plants Powder, Alone and in Combination on Parameters of Blood Biochemistry, Microbial Population and Intestinal Morphology in Laying Hens
Mohammad Ariana, Hamed Beiranvand,
Volume 22, Issue 2 (8-2020)
Abstract
Background: Microbial resistance is one of the major problems leading to the spread of illness and death in the worldwide. Virginiamycin is one of those antibiotics that have been approved for use in the poultry, but in recent years, attention has been paid to replacing these compounds with natural additives such as powder and extracts of medicinal herbs, in livestock nutrition and poultry.
Materials and Methods: In this experiment, 125 hens of white Leghorn chicken (Hay-line) were used at age 64 weeks. Hens were divided into five groups with five replicate cages containing five hens each for each group. In this study, the effects of garlic and sage powder in the diet of laying hens, alone or in combination, with an emphasis on antimicrobial properties, were evaluated in comparison with antibiotic Virginiamycin, and the effect of these compounds on some biochemical parameters, blood and histomorphology of the intestine were investigated. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 5 replications with 5 observations in each replication
Results: The results showed that different experimental treatments, including garlic powder, sage or their mixture, also Virginiamycin resulted in a significant increase in villi height (P<0.05) and villi height to crypt depth ratio (P<0.05), while the effect of sage powder and Virginiamycin on crypt depth was not significant. Furthermore, the addition of different experimental treatments significantly altered the intestinal microflora, and except for Lactobacillus that decreased significantly, the reduction in the number of germs including E. coli, Salmonella and total bacteria was significant.
Conclusion: It seems that a large part of the antimicrobial properties of these compounds in this study can be due to the ability of herbs active compounds or essential oils that are capable of eliminating bacteria due to the instability of membranes, including mitochondria membrane and imbalance in the membrane integrity of bacteria, and possibly reduce the damage to intestinal erythrocytes, also reduced the cellular requirements for the proliferation of new cells in the intestine. So that, the use of experimental treatments led to  higher villi height and less crypt depth.
