The prevalence of diabets in the world is rapidly rising. Currently over 180 million persons worldwide have diabets and this number is expected to be doubled in the year 2030. In diabets stress oxidative markrs are increased. Coenzyme Q10 as a potent antioxidant can decrease lipid peroxidation and deplete free radicals. The persent study investigated the effects of coenzyme Q10 on serum lipid profile in male Wistar rats diabetics quantitatively.
Material and Methods: Twenty one male rats (200-250 gr) were randomly used in tree groups for the experiments(7 rats per group). First group as control, second group as untreated diabetic and third group as treated diabetic with Coenzyme Q10 (15 mg/kg). Second and third groups were diabetic with injection of alloxan(120 mg/kg). After six weeks treatment their serum lipids,were measured. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Data were compared by Mann Whitney test.
Results: The results indicated that Coenzyme Q10 decreased serum triglyceride , cholesterole , LDL and VLDL in treated diabetic groups in comparision with untreated diabetic groups respectively, but serum HDL didn't increase(P<0.05).
Conclusion: Regarding the fact that Coenzyme Q10 decreases serum lipids. Our data suggest that Coenzyme Q10 has beneficial effects on diabetes induced complications.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of adding Dexamethazone (DEX)) to Clomiphene citrate (CC) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with normal dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) in induction of ovulation.
Materials and Methods: 120 infertile women with PCOS were randomly assigned into two groups. Group I: Clomiphene citrate 100 mg/day was given from day 3 to day 7 of the cycle and DEX 1 mg/day from day 3 to day 12 of the cycle. Group II: Same protocol of CC combined with placebo (Folic acid tablets) was given from day 3 to day 12 of the cycle. The main outcome was ovulation. Secondary measures included number of follicles >18 mm, pregnancy rate and ovarian follicular response were monitored by ultrasound.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between groups as regards age, duration of infertility, BMI, menstrual pattern, serum DHEAS. The mean number of follicles >18 mm were significantly higher in the DEX group than in the placebo group (p=0.059). Similarly, there were significantly higher rates of ovulation and pregnancy in the DEX group. Dexamethazone was very well tolerated as no patients complained of any side effect.
Conclusion: Induction of ovulation by adding DEX to CC in PCOS with normal DHEAS is associated with higher ovulation and pregnancy rates and seems to be an effective, cheap and simple method.

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy causing a high rate of both maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Recent reports suggest that free radical-induced endothelial cell injury might be an etiologic factor in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of antioxidants such as E and C vitamins on the prevention of preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: This clinical- trial study was conducted in the year 2009 in the clinical centers of Lorestan university of medical sciences. 160 nulliparous women with the age range of 18 to 35 without any risk factors for preeclampsia were divided into two groups. The first group received oral vitamin E 400 IU/day, and vitamin C 1000 mg/day with iron tablets during the 20th to 24th weeks of pregnancy while the control group received only iron tablets. Finally, the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequency distribution tables. Results: Incidence of preeclampsia in the control group was 17.5% and in the case group it was 5% that was statistically significant. The means of systolic pressure before and after intervention in the control group were 99.43 7.8, and 12.44 19.1 while in the case group they were 99.3 8.3 and 106.12 13.25. Diastolic pressure means before and after intervention in the control group were 62.7 13.6 and 62.7 4.7. Conclusion: As the results showed, use of antioxidants can clearly reduce the risk of preeclampsia, and can reduce the mean systolic and diastolic pressure.

Antisperm antibodies (ASA) occur in men and women and may significantly impair fertility. In this case, the testis is an immunologically privileged site where germ cell antigens are protected from autoimmune attack. However, due to disruption of the blood-testis barrier occurring from testicular injury, or as a consequence of trauma to the epididymis or vas deferens many testicular proteins get autoantigenic during immunological challenges resulting in the formation of ASA in the blood serum, seminal plasma or located on the sperm membrane. ASA have also been reported to be associated with inflammation, cryptorchidism, varicocele and surgical intervention in the genital organs. ASA may interfere with different sperm functions, which are essential for the fertilization process.This review article will help to increase our understanding of the specific mechanisms that elicit the autoimmune response to sperm and of the pathogenesis of ASA that leads to an antibody-mediated infertility.

Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin disorders and Isotretinoin has widely been used as a treatment for its severe and resistant cases in recent years. Considering the controversy over the effect of systemic Isotretinoin on reducing the plasma level of folic acid and the negative effect of this reduction on health, this study was conducted to assess the influence of systemic Isotretinoin on the plasma level of folic acid during the years 2008 and 2009 in Khorramabad city. Materials and Methods: 61 patients including 38 women and 23 men with severe or moderate acne (age mean 23.6+6 y/o) who were resistant to conventional treatments were supplemented with 0.5mg/kg/day of oral Isotretinoin for 30 days. They were instructed not to use any other drugs with an effect on folic acid level or change their diet. The serum levels of folic acid were measured at the baseline and at the end of the treatment period. The statistical analyses were carried out using the paired T-test. Results: The mean levels of folic acid were 26.75+9.42 nmol/lit and 23.6+8.42 nmol/lit at the baseline and after 30 days of Isotretinoin supplementation respectively. This showed a significant decrease in plasma folic acid level (p=0.008). Conclusion: This study revealed a significant reduction in plasma level of folic acid following a 30 day use of oral Isotretinoin in acne patients. Concerning the important role of folic acid in metabolic functions, we recommend further studies to assess the effect of longer periods of Isotretinoin treatment as well as other relevant factors on folic acid metabolism. Moreover, folic acid supplementation and simultaneous use of Isotretinoin is recommended in patients with acne.

The main goals of fluid therapy in brain edema include: maintenance of perfusion pressure, prevention of extreme osmolarity changes and hyperglycemia. In some studies, monitol has increased plasma osmolarity and decreased brain water content in dose related. Another research showed that hypertonic saline has led to decrease ICP because of its osmotic effect .Plasma Na, K are related parameters of osmolarity. This study was performed to assess serum sodium, potassium and osmolarity in head injury severities. Materials and Methods: In this prospective experimental – observational study, fity seven patients admitted to neurosurgery ICU were investigated . GCS and serum Na, K were checked at 6 am daily for 4 days. The serum osmolarity was calculated with formula(osm = 2Na + BuN/2.8 + G/18 ). The patients were divided into 3 and 4 groups based on GCS and day of hospitalization. In each 24 hours, there were GCS= 13-15 as mild, GCS =9-12 as moderate and GCS ≤ 8 as severe groups of head injury. Then the data were analyzed statistically. Results: Number of patients, from severe to mild head injury decreased during 4 days. For mean osmolarity there was significant difference between moderate, compared with mild and severe groups (p = 0/03)There was no significant difference for mean serum electrolytes among all groups. Conclusion: There were no relationship between mean serum osmolarity, electrolytes and GCS,which may indictes influence of other therapies on osmolarity,ABG condition, patients’positioning and temperature, need to mechanical ventilation, and staying blood samples in laboratory environment
