Abstract
Introduction: Chemical weapons , which their history dates back to the first world war , refer to any factor that has direct toxic effects on human being , animals and plants. Iraqi regime used chemical weapons and various poisons during the imposed war against Iran of which mustard and nervous gases are examples that their effects are seen in victims even after passing many years.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross – sectional study was carried out in2001-2002 to evaluate skin manifestations in 95 chemically wounded combatants of Lorestan province whom were exposed to the chemical weapons during the war .Data was collected by clinical examination and information recorded in a questionnaire.
Findings: All of the studied cases with mean age of 39.26 years old had skin manifestations among which the most common symptoms were itching , burning ,dry skin , scaling. From view point of lesions, the most common signs were erythema (81%) , excoriation (87.9%) and pruritic papules (49.5%).
Final diagnosis in 78% of the patients was chronic dermatitis and in 7.7% of them was seborrhoeic dermatitis and in 8.8% both chronic and seborrhoeic dermatitis were observed .During exposure to chemical gases only 37.9% of these combatants had used special masks and 40% had properly worn special clothes to protect themselves which covered their body completely , but rest of them had either used protection instruments improperly or had not used them at all. Most of the lesions were in trunk , lower extremities , abdomen , head and neck .78% of the cases had multiple lesions
Conclusion: Regarding the results of this study all of the chemical wounded combatants of Lorestan province suffer from different degrees of skin lesions , although more than half of them were not aware of kind and nature of the chemical gases , but it is suggested to do further studies on long-term effects of these chemical gases.

Abstract
Background: With regard to the importance of attachment in developing separation anxiety, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of attachment based intervention via video feedback on decreasing negative representations and separation anxiety problems in preschool children. Materials and Method: The research method was semi experimental with pretest-posttest and follow up. For this, 21 mother-child dyads (11 dyads in experimental and 10 dyads in control group) were selected from 2 child counseling centers based on including criteria. The experimental group received 8 to 10 individual attachment based intervention sessions and the control group received the other relation based intervention for comparison of their effectiveness. The participants were assessed using maternal behavior Q-SORT, MacArthur story stems and child psychopathological symptoms inventory in pretest, post-test and 3 months interval follow up. Results: The findings revealed the effectiveness of attachment-based intervention on increasing maternal sensitivity, decreasing negative representations of child and also separation anxiety symptoms in children of experimental group. The mean scores of experimental group in comparison to witness group have significantly decreased in all variables. Conclusion: Considering this results, it seems attachment-based intervention could increas maternal sensitivity and this change with decreasing negative representation of child via recovering interactions have a positive effect on decreasing separation anxiety problems of children.

Abstract
Background: Postpartum depression is the most common psychological complication after childbirth. The mother-infant relationship and its challenges are one of the most critical risk factors of postpartum depression. Given the importance of attachment theory in explaining the mother-infant relationship, the present study aimed to identify the components related to mother-infant relationship in order to prevent postpartum depression.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, based on the qualitative method and inductive content analysis approach, individual interviews were conducted with four groups of pregnant mothers (n=6), mothers with infants (n=5), pediatricians (n=3), and psychologists (n=3). The data were coded and extracted. During the second stage, the relevant literature in the field of attachment was reviewed using desk research, whereby the components were extracted. Finally, based on the findings of these two stages, themes related to the mother-infant relationship were identified.
Results: The most important overlapping themes obtained from the two stages of the study included attachment to the fetus, anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, child care, reception of support, and the impact of the relationship with parents which were identified as the main themes related with the mother-infant relationship.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of mother-infant relationship as a postpartum depression risk factor, the present study strived to identify the main components of this relationship from the perspective of research literature, along with a qualitative study, to identify the real needs of mothers to be used as a basis for subsequent interventions.

Abstract
Background: Physical activity with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects can play a critical role in the health of individuals. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the impact of resistance training and curcumin consumption on inflammatory indicators and oxidative stress in obese men.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted based on a quasi-experimental design. The studied population consists of obese men aged 38-43 years. The sample size was estimated to be 40 individuals, who were randomly assigned to four groups of 10 using a random number table. The training program lasted for eight weeks, with three sessions per week. An 80 mg curcumin supplement was administered. Blood samples were collected before and after the final session. Data analysis involved one-way analysis of variance, paired t-test, and Tukey's post hoc test at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The amount of catalase enzyme in resistance training groups (P=0.012), curcumin supplement (P=0.032), and resistance training group with curcumin consumption (P<0.001) were associated with a significant increase. Nonetheless, it was not significant in the control group (P=0.991). Furthermore, the levels of malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the experimental groups displayed a significant decrease (P<0.05), whereas these changes were not significant in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, it can be stated that the consumption of curcumin may be effective in suppressing the inflammation caused by obesity. This is due to its potent antioxidant effects and its combination with resistance training.
