Abstract
Abstract Background: Insufficient uterine activity or hypotonic uterine contraction is a common reason and the cause of abnormal labor progress that can be corrected with oxytocin. Realizing this fact that undue prolongation of labor may contribute to prenatal morbidity has resulted in using oxytocin infusion in different kinds of ineffective uterine contractions. Materials and methods: In this study, one hundred pregnant women in 29 Bahman hospital participated in a quasi-experimental research and were divided randomly into 2 groups of pulsatile induction as well as continuous induction and were compared in terms of pregnancy outcomes including progress of labor, hyperstimulation, mood of delivery, third stage duration, newborn’s Apgar score, and hyperbilirobinemia. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in progress of labor, hyperstimulation rate, newborn’s Apgar score, and hyperbilirobinemia (p>0.05) however, significant differences were observed in labor duration (p=0.022), mood of delivery (p=0.008), and dose of oxytocin (p<0.0005). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, administration of oxytocin with the feedback pulsatile oxytocin system is easier and more physiologic to establish the effective uterine contraction and reduces duration of labor and cesarean section rate. Moreover, the average dose of oxytocin administered is significantly less in the pulsatile induction group.

Abstract
i Rapiddentification of atypical mycobacterium(Non-tuberculosis mycobacterium NTM) is important because of increase of these organisms infection in recent years. As phenotypic tests are time consuming and expensive, nowadays the molecular methods are widely used for rapid identification of mycobacterium spcies. The aim of this study was molecular differentiation of atypical mycobacteria using three primers in the PCR- RFLP method and evaluation of sensitivity of primers.
Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 48 atypical mycobacterium specimens separated from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients who were indentified by phenotypic tests. Drug susceptibility testing was performed by proportional method, the fragments of the 16S-23S rRNA gene spacer and hsp65 gene were amplified by PCR method. Subsequently the amplicons were digested with enzymes namely AvaII,HphI, HpaII, BstEII and HaeIII and electrophoresed on 2% agarose gel.
Results: A total of 48 isolates, 8 (16.6%) had multi-drug resistant (MDR-TB), 4 (8.3%) had susceptible and 36 (75%) had non MDR ( combined resistance). 13 (27%) were rapid growing and 73% were slow growing . By rate detection of hsp65 PCR-RFLP primer was higher than other primers.
Conclusion: hsp65 PCR- RFLP method was more specific and exact for differentiation of non tuberculosis mycobacterium(NTM).

Abstract
Background : The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between main CVD risk factors and healthy life style of housewives and working women.
Materials and Methods: The current study was a part of the Isfahan Healthy Heart Program (IHHP). Data sampling was stratified multistage sampling in the women over 20 years old. Demographic information, nutritional status as Global Dietary Index (GDI), physical activity and smoking status were recorded. Blood pressure, anthropometric indicies, total cholesterol, LDL-c and HDL-c, TG, FBS were detected. Collected data were processed by T -test, chi square and logistic regression.
Results: 5591 (92%) out of 6102, were housewives and the rest were working women.The nutritional status in working women was worse than the housewives. In contrast, the physical activity was better in working women. There were no significant differences between two groups regarding smoking. After adjusting for age, BMI, Lipid profile and blood pressure were the same in the both groups. Dyslipidemia, diabetes and obesity were not significantly different between two groups.
Conclusion: Regarding the results, a more comprehensive interventional program for healthy lifestyle and risk factors should be carried out.

Abstract
Background: Prevalence of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is increasing in the world. Because of clinical importance of ESRD and absence of significant data, we studied the epidemiology of end stage renal failure in patients under hemodialysis in Lorestan province. Material and methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out between January 2012 and January 2013 in dialysis centers of Lorestan university of medical sciences .Subject were selected by census method and data galhered using a questionnaire. At the end, collected data were analyzed by SPSS software, descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. Results: All the patients under hemodialysis were 318 cases, 182 out of them (57.2%) and 136(42.8%) were male and female respectively. The mean age of the subjects was 53.2± 16.4 years. The cause of renal failure in 38.1% of the patients were hypertension, diabetes (19.2%) and unknown factors (27.4%). As well as 5.97% of the patients infected by HCV, HBV or HIV . A significant statistical difference was observed between causes of chronic renal failure and different ages of the subjects (p=0.002). Conclusion: Augmentation of screening programs and especially, early referral of high risk subjects to nephrologists is recommended for prevention of end stage renal disease.

Abstract
Background : Maternal diabetes can induce a number of developmental abnormalities including deformities of the face and palate and these teratogenic effects decrease by application of antioxidant drugs. In this study, the prophylactic effect of quercetin on fetal teratogenesis incidence from diabetes was evaluated.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 24 female Wistar rats were used into four groups. After intravenous injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg) and confirm of diabetes in 2 groups of rats, all rats were mated. One group of diabetic and non-diabetic rats received quercetin (75 mg/kg/ orally) in 0,7,14 and 20 days of gestation while two control groups received normal saline. Fetuses were collected at 20th day of gestation and after determination of weight and length were stained by Alizarin red - Alcian blue method and skeletal abnormalities was evaluated by stereomicroscope.
Results: Cleft palate, wavy rib and rib adhesion incidence were 38.09%, 4.86% and 14.28% range in control diabetic group but their incidence were respectively decreased 16.12%, 0% and 0% by quercetin. Also, quercetin decreased skeletal anomalies incidence including sternum, and ribs.
Conclusion: Quercetin as one antioxidant can decrease teratogenicity induced by diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background: One of the most common knee ligament injuries is anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture which is associated with limited range of motion (ROM). Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the one preoperative kinesiotherapy cycle in relieving knee pain, increasing knee strength and range of motion in patients with ACL injury.
Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 20 male male patients with ACL injury ranging in age from 17 to 29 years were divided into two intervention groups of kinesiotherapy (n = 11) and control (n = 9). The kinesiotherapy group underwent three sessions per week for 8 weeks. Pain variables, isokinetic strength of knee extensor muscles and knee joint ROM were measured by visual Analogue scale (VAS), goniometer and biodex dynamometer before and after the treatment, respectively. Data were analyzed using Student's t-test at the significant level of p <0.05.
Results: After a period of kinesiotherapy, the mean pain index, maximum quadriceps muscle torque and knee joint ROM improved in the kinesiotherapy group (P <0.05).
Conclusion: Using appropriate kinesiotherapy programs to improve the strength and knee joint ROM; can be a quick solution for athletes with ACL rupture before surgery.
Keywords: Kinesiotherapy, Knee strength, ACL injury, Knee range of motion, knee pain.

Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the well-being of different individuals and nations in terms of socioeconomic, psychological, and public health issues. Regarding the importance of predicting the peak outbreaks and incidence of COVID-19, this study aimed to predict factors that affect the incidence of COVID-19 pandemic in hospitalized patients admitted to a hospital in Khorramabad city of Iran, using a multivariate logistic regression model.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, the data from 4,425 COVID-19 patients in the first peak of the disease, who were referred to the Shohada-ye Ashayer Hospital, Khorramabad, Iran, in 2020, were examined, from whom 2,978 people had undergone COVID-19 test. Data were collected using a researcher-made checklist for variables and examination of patients’ daily records. Data analysis was performed using descriptive methods, multivariate logistic regression model, and backup vector machine method in the R software for the modeling of risk factors associated with the disease diagnosis.
Results: The highest and lowest rates of incidence were observed in the age range of 40-49 (19%) and 19-10 years (1%). The age group 60-69 years accounted for 6% of the population with a mortality rate of 25%. Based on the implemented model, the most effective symptoms associated with the incidence of COVID-19 included age, fever, decreased level of consciousness, blood oxygen level, and a history of heart disease.
Conclusion: The present study showed that identification of the effective variables of the disease led to the identification of high-risk individuals. This method can be used to prevent disease incidence and prevalence in high-risk groups and is a great help in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
