Abstract
Background : Hymen examination has divers individual, family, social and legal effects. Thus epidemiology of hymen for physicians and obstetricians is important.
Materials and Methods: In an analytical cross-sectional study of women referred to women's forensic medical examination part of Shiraz from 2008 to 2009 were examined.
Results: A total of 823 samples with a mean age of 21.78±2.98 years and 16-20 years old were the most frequent age group among the cases. 53.58% of hymens were dilated circular and 46.17% of them were non dilated circular and 2 had no hole.From view point of anatomical type, 86.99% were in dilated circular hymens with smooth edges and the most frequent time of defloration of 80.33% of the cases was 3 weeks before examination. A significant relationship was observed between age and health status of the hymen. Also the relationship between age and time of defloration was significant.
Conclusion: There is a variety in anatomical shape of hymen ,and distinguishing normal findings from abnormal findings in the examination of hymen is a matter of importance.

Abstract
Background : Performance of hospital managers need to be evaluated based on suitable criteria to get better performance. Unfortunately no formal and systematical performance assessment system has been used to evaluate managers. The aim of this study is to determine the concrete and suitable hospital managers, performance assessment using experts, views.
Materials and Methods: This study was a qualitative research with thematic analysis method. By using semi structured questionnaire with 2 health system experts interview was conducted and 20 experts participated in focus group discussion. After each interview and group discussion withdrawals were checked with participants. The initial interviews were analyzed by two faculty members and then were combined.
Results: 7 main themes about necessary criteria for hospital managers, performance assessment were obtained from experts, views. These themes are: skills related to planning, organization and staff performance management, leadership, information management, clinical governance and performance indicators.
Conclusion: All participants in the study had a history of hospital management therefore their comments will be an effective step in identifying the criteria for making hospital managers, performance assessment tool. In addition to Professionals, perspectives and studies done in other countries, in order to design this kind of tools, it is necessary to adjust the obtained findings according to the local hospital conditions.

Abstract
Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) contributes to susceptibility to many different kinds of diseases. The aim of this study was genotypic analysis of ApoE in the Lur population for the first time.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 100 unrelated healthy Lur individuals were ApoE polymorphisms typed by polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Finally, the allele and genotype frequency of ApoE polymorphisms in the Lur population was compared with the Iranian population.
Results: Six ApoE genotypes and all of the ApoE polymorphisms were observed in the Lur population. genotype with the frequency of 48% was the most frequent genotype in the Lur population. Also, the most common allele in the Lur population was .
Conclusion: The results indicate that the frequency of ApoE polymorphisms has total similar features reported in the Iranian population, but it is still unique by increasing or decreasing some frequencies in the Lur population.
