Abstract
Background: Intravenous thrombolytic therapy is still the most common treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in our country. In recent years, some cases of suboptimal results of the treatment with a special trademark (Heberkinase) have been reported. So, we decided to evaluate the patency rate of arteries involved in infarction after treatment with Heberkinase.
Materials and Methods: A total number of 110 patients admitted with AMI who received Heberkinase during the first 12 hours from beginning of symptoms and undergone Selective Coronary Angiography (SCA) during the first 20 days were enrolled in the study. TIMI flow of grade 2 or 3 and stenosis of less than 95% in the infarct-related arteries were considered as patent arteries. The findings were compared with Ejection Fraction (EF), risk factors and demographic data of the patients and also were compared with the results of previous studies.
Findings: 49% of patients received Heberkinase in the first two hours, 39% between 2 -6 hours and 19% between 6 and 12 hours after beginning of symptoms. SCA was performed in 73 patients in the first 10 days and in 37 patients between days 11 to 20 (mean =8.4±4.6 days). Mean patency rate of infarct-related artery was 55%. Patency rate had no correlation with location of AMI and the infarct-related artery.EF was significantly higher in patients with patent arteries (47% versus 42%, p=0.03).
Conclusion: The patency rate in our patients was about 15% less than the results reported by other investigators. The patency rate with Heberkinase was similar to the spontaneous patency rates reported in pre-thrombolytic era studies.

Abstract
Background: Telogen effluvium is a self-limited, non-scarring disease that shows itself as a diffuse hair loss of the scalp that usually occurs 3 months after an acute illness. Theoretically, Minoxidil solution has been suggested as a treatment for this condition. In this study, we compared the efficacy of the minoxidil and an herbal drug containing urtica diocia, chamomilla, thymus vulgaris, equisetum avenues and foeniculum vulgare for treating telogen effluvium.
Material and methods: This study was a double – blind prospective study. 24 patients with telogen effluvium were allocated randomly in two groups and were treated with minoxidil and the herbal drug. Data were analyzed statistically.
Results: The mean duration of telogen effluvium in the minoxidil group was 17 weeks and in the herbal drug group was 7 weeks. This difference was statistically significant.
Conclusion: From this study, it is condoled that this herbal drug is effective in telogen effluvium although more studies are recommended in this field.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders, early fatigue induced by static work and the same symptoms are caused by inappropriate designed tools, equipment, building and workplace. Inadequate educational furniture is taken to be the reason of severe posture problems such as low back pain, spinal disorders, fatigue, shoulder and neck pain, and disturbance circulation in legs. So ergonomic design of educational furniture should be carefully considered. Materials and Methods: The present research was a cross-sectional study. Samples included desks and chairs (n=150) chosen from reading rooms of dormitories and faculties of Isfahan university of medical sciences Isfahan- Iran. In the study 2 parameters from desk and 5 parameters from chairs were assessed using a tape-measure and a set-sqare. Data were analyzed by SPSS ver 10 software. Results: Comparing the results from the mean of measured values (for seating height, desk height and desk clearance) indicated a significant difference between them (p<0. 00). Conclusion: Findings of the study showed that existing standard in Iran about chairs and tables for educational institutions should be reviewed. Also the most important problem with chairs and desks are seating height and desk surface height respectively. These two parameters didn’t match with anthropometric dimensions of the sudents of Isfahan university of medical sciences.

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 : Healthy Life for Cardiovascular Patients(HLCP), one of the ten projects included in Isfahan Healthy Heart Program, was designed and performed based on high-risk and secondary prevention strategies and aimed to reduce cardiac recurrences, along with the risk factors, morbidity and mortality among cardiovascular patients. In this study we investigate the trend of changes of frequency of coronary patients’ medicine intake, aswell as the results of process evaluation.
Materials and Methods: Five main strategies were designed to meet the project's goals. These interventions were designed based on education, legislation, and attracting inter-division and public cooperation. Process evaluation was performed in order to determine the project's successfulness. Prior to the project, the morbidity and medicine intake among the patients were also studied. These indices were again measured during the interventions and also after the project were completed.
Results: Amongst all the interventions, educating the patients during the hospitalization period, at the time of release and also post-release educations were successful. Another success of the project in merging secondary prevention programs in the society was to attract public coordination and to establish a Non-Governmental Organization. The results also show an increase in the amount of aspirin, beta blockers, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors, and statins taken by cardiovascular patients during the project.
Conclusion: The results suggest that secondary prevention and cardiovascular patient care promotion interventions can be performed using available facilities.

Abstract
Background: Medicinal smoke has been in natural health products by many nations all over the worlds. Dung's smoke called "Anbar Nasara" is one of the most used medicinal smokes in Iranian traditional medicine. Anber Nasara has been administered as inhalation in the treatment of viral or bacterial infections as well as for tumors and cysts in vaginal diseases in women. Its cytotoxic effects have been proposed in these studies. Materials and Methods: Dung's of female donkey have been collected from Shahreza, Isfahan province in summer 2011. The samples were burned in a specially designed apparatus and its smoke was collected in n-hexane solvent over ice-cold water. Solvent was evaporated in the air and dried residue was dissolved in DMSO and diluted in RPMI So that the final concentrations of 0.4, 0.3, 0.25, 0.2, 0.125, 0.1, 0.0625, 0.0312 mg/ml were obtained for MTT assay as a cytotoxic evaluation method against two cancer cells (KB and Hela) and a normal one (L929). After 48h incubation percent cell survival and IC50 values were obtained using ELISA plate reader at 540nm. Results: Results showed that dung's smoke were cytotoxic in tested concentrations against cancer cell lines in a dose dependent manner. The IC50 was calculated ≥ 0.2 mg/ml. Conclusion: Dung's smoke consists of too many constituents and its cytotoxic effect may belong to one or complexes of constituents. More researches are under way to clarify these aspects of the study.

Abstract
Background : The purpose of this study was to recognize the performance of the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and triceps muscles of the disabled male world and paralympic championsby the EMG.
Materials and Methods: The electrical activity of the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and triceps muscles of 24 disabled Iranian male world and paralympic throwers in sitting and standing positions was recorded by a surface electromyographic device. To determine the significant differences of the sitting and standing classes, the statistics techniques of the One Way ANOVA and the independent t- test at the 0.05 sinificant level were administered to the recorded data.
Results: The activity (amplitude) of pectoralis major and anterior deltoid muscles of the participants differed significantly in the sitting classes. Also, the activity of triceps muscles in the standing classes and that of pectoralis major muscles of the sitting and standing classes while the amplitude of triceps muscles of sitting classes, pectoralis major and anterior deltoid muscles of the standing classes, and anterior deltoid and triceps muscles of both sitting and standing classes was not significantly different. (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The means of all the variables in the sitting classes were more than those in the standing classes. The highest amplitude belonged to the anterior deltoid, pectoralis major and triceps muscles of the sitting classes, respectively. This is due to the disabled throwers’ paralysis in the sitting position compared with that of the throwers in standing positions. The comparison of the amplitude recorded by surface electromyography of the disabled throwers’ muscles in all classes showed that the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and triceps muscles have major roles in the disabled male world and paralympic champions’ throwing events.

Abstract
Background: Exercise and nutrition are two basic foundations in the control of increased levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in diabetes disease. The aim of the present study was to review the interactional effects of endurance training and aloe vera gel on ALT and AST levels in diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods: Forty five diabetic rats were selected and divided into 5 groups of 9 rats (1) first week control, (2) sixth week control, (3) endurance training, (4) aloe vera, (5) endurance training with aloe vera. Also for review of the effects of diabetes induction on ALT and AST, 18 rats were divided into two groups of (6) first week control, and (7) sixth week control. Groups 3 and 5 ran on treadmills for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week and 20 minutes per session. Groups 4 and 5 received 100 mg/kg aloe vera gel. For statistical analysis of the data one way ANOVA and tukey post hoc tests (p≤0.05) were used.
Results: Diabetes induction has a significant effect on the increase of ALT (p=0.04): endurance training together with aloe vera gel has a significant effect on the reduction of ALT and AST levels (p=0.001); endurance training with aloe vera gel, together with endurance training and aloe vera gel consumption has more effect on reduction of ALT (p=0.001). Endurance exercise together with Aloe vera gel has a greater effect on AST reduction than endurance training alone (P = 0.04).
Conclusion: 6 weeks of endurance training and aloe vera gel have interactional effects on the improvement of ALT and AST levels in diabetic rats.
