Abstract
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Iron overload is the most important complication in patients with thalassemia major. This study was aimed to identify the effects of a standard exercise on body iron indices in the patients with thalassemia major and in normal subjects in Sanandaj during 1999.
MATERIALS & METHODS: This was a quasi-experimental study. The subjects were 32 patients with thalassemia major and 30 normal persons. The range of age in the both groups was 8-20 years. They were exercised by treadmill. Blood samples were obtained before exercise, immediatly after and 48 hours following the exercise. Then, serum iron, ferritin and TIBC were measured in all samples.
RESULTS: In both groups, the body iron indices showed significant changes in both samples following exercise as comparing to pre-exercise values. These changes were identical in both sex. In both groups, serum iron and ferritin decreased and serum TIBC increased immediatly following aerobic exercise. However, all of them significanlty increased 48 hours after exercise as comparing to pre-exercise valuses.
CONCLUSIONS: Regarding our study, regular exercise may be useful in the patients with thalassemia major if further studies confirm the effects of exercise (particularly in multiple courses) in decreasing iron overload. Further evaluation about iron deficiency anemia in athletes (specialy in heavy sports) is also recommended.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background and Aim: Paederus dermatitis is a blistering disorder of skin caused by a small insect called paederus transmitted by displaced beetles of order Coleoptera. There are limited studies on classical treatment of this disease.
The aim of this study was to compare therapeutic effects of atorvastatin with placebo in the treatment of paederus dermatitis.
Materials and Methods: This was a randomized double-blind clinical trial and was carried out in the hospital and clinics of Sari and Neka cities for 6 months. Experimental group (15 patients) received atorvasatin and control group (15 patients) received placebo. All the patients were examined at the first, seventh and fourteenth days after treatment. Data were recorded in a questionnaire for every patient. Complete recovery and failure of treatment were compared in both groups. Data were introduced into SPSS software and analyzed by means of X2 test.
Results: A total of 15 patients were treated, 10 patients from Sari and 5 from Neka cities. Most of the patients were between 26-45 years of age. Most of patients were married all of them educated, and were civil servants or had private jobs. Full recovery rate of the patients was 93.33% in the second visit (seventh day). The rest of the patients recovered in the third visit (fourteenth day). 30.43 % of the patients had lesions on the neck, and size of the lesions was between 6-10 cm2 in 42.85% of cases. There was a significant difference in recovery rate between experimental and placebo groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion: In this study, all patients were recovered completely within 14 days, whereas only 13.3 percent were recovered in control group.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background and Aim: Dermatitis caused by paederous insect is considered a public health problem in many parts of the northern, and some of the southern areas of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical triamcinolone on the treatment of linear dermatitis in animal model.
Materials and Methods: 20 male guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) were divided into treatment and control groups (N=10). Animals had free access to food and water and were kept at 25ºC and 50% humidity. Paederus beetles caught from the city of Neka, transferred to the School of Public Health in Tehran. Guinea pigs developed linear dermatitis on contact with peaderus beetles. Triamcinolone ointment (0.1%) was applied on the skin of the pigs for 14 days after shaving their hair. The recovery rate was assessed on the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh and fourteenth days after drug administration in the treatment and control groups. The control group used placebo without alcohol base.
Results: The mean weight of the guinea pigs was 700±10 gr. At the end of the ninth day all the guinea pigs in the treatment group improved while 10% of the guinea pigs in the control group showed improvement (P>0.05). There were no serious medical complications during and one month after the treatment course.
Conclusion: This study showed that triamcinolone had significant beneficial effects on the treatment of linear paederus dermatitis in animal models and it can be considered as an effective drug for the treatment of this dermatitis in human models in the future studies.

Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the most important indicators in scientific output in the world is the number of articles indexed in international and reliable indices. Many scientific institutions perform statistical analysis on countries, institutions and individuals. An Institution of Scientific Information (ISI) indexes the scientific information of most of international scientific journals. Using information on Web of Science we can evaluate scientific output of countries, universities and individuals and compare them with one another. The aim of this study was to assess the status of scientific output of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences according to scientometric indicators until the end of 2011and compare it with those of other universities within the same rank, in Iran.
Materials and Methods: By use of basic search in Web of Science and choosing SCIـEXPANDED index from 1993 to 2011 different affiliated addresses indexed in WOS for Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences combined by using OR operator, then data were collected and analyzed.
Results: Total number of records indexed in WOS till the end of 2011 was 157. Maximum and minimum number of records were 111 (71.5%) for original articles and 1 (0.5%) for letter respectively. Maximum number of scientific output belonged to public, environmental and occupational health with 35 (22.87%), tropical medicine with 24 (15.68%), general and internal medicine with 21 (13.75%), pharmacology with 12 (7.19%), and multidisciplinary chemistry with 10 (6.53%) records. Each of the other subjects had less than 10 records. Canada had maximum international collaboration with 7 records and Egypt, Philippines, Thailand, each with one record had minimum international collaboration. Maximum national collaboration was related to Tehran University of Medical Sciences with 29 records and Tarbeyat Modaress University with 13 records. 157 records of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences had been published in 89 journals, among them 23 journals, published maximum number of articles (54%). Only 5 journals were Iranian. Total number of citations was 300 and a median citation per article was 1/91. Average article for every academic member was 1/01.
Conclusion: Scientific output of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences has been on the rise. Increase in citations is indicative of improvement of the quality of the articles in this university.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background and Aim: HTLV-I is the etiological cause of adult T-lymphocytic leukemia (ATL) and a chronic degenerative neurologic disorder, called tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP). HTLV infection can be transmitted through different ways: from mother to child or fetus, sexual intercourse, transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, and sharing contaminated syringe needles. As the presence of these infections in high risk groups can be an approximate indicator of their prevalence in the society and blood donors, in this study was tried to find prevalence of HTLV in HIV positive or negative intravenous drug users (IVDU patients with major thalassemia, and hemodialysis patients, in Sanandaj.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 351 cases: 130 HIV positive and 110 HIV negative intravenous drug users (IVDU), 46 cases of major thalassemia, and 65 hemodialysis patients. All participants completed written informed consent forms. After obtaining blood samples and serum separation, all specimens were kept in freezer at -20oC up to the time of analysis. Serum samples were screened for measurement of the titers of HTLV I&II antibodies by Dia-Pro ELISA kits, manufactured in Italy. Positive and suspicious reactions were reanalyzed. For confirmation of positive and suspicious reactions, samples with one positive reaction were examined by use of western blot kid (HTLV blot 2.4, manufactured by MP Diagnostics in Switzerland). Data were entered into SPSS 16 software and the prevalence rates of these viruses were obtained by using frequency distribution table.
Results: The results of this study showed that one HIV positive, one HIV negative patient and another patient with major thalassemia were HTLV I positive (0.85%). None of the hemodialysis patients had antibody against HTLV type 1. We did not find any antibody against HTLV type 2 in our study.
Conclusions: The prevalence rate of HTLV (types 1 and 2) among these high risk groups was not high in Sanandaj. This may reflect its low prevalence in general population and in blood donors. However, it is necessary to take preventive measures to reduce its spread. To assess the exact prevalence rate we recommend screening of all donated blood samples and general population.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The exact mechanisms of morphine dependence and withdrawal syndrome remain unclear. Many studies have been performed to find agents with minimal dependency side effects for prevention of withdrawal symptoms. Cinnamomum is a herbal medicine that has been used for respiratory disorders, digestive problems, arthritis, dysmenorrhea, and sore throat. Cinnamomum has been used as an alternative traditional treatment for sedative agents in China and India. This study aimed at investigating the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of cinnamomum on morphine withdrawal symptoms in the male rats.
Material and Methods: Adult mal Wistar rats weighting 225 -275 g were randomly selected and divided into 5 groups (8 rats per group). In order to induce dependency, additive doses of morphine were injected subcutaneously for 13 days. On the day 13, 30 minutes after the last dose of morphine, control group received saline ip (1 ml/kg: control) and 3 treatment groups received hydroalcoholic extracts of Cinnamomum (50, 100, 200 mg/kg respectively) intraperitoneally. Thirty minutes later,all groups received naloxone injection (4 mg/kg, ip) and withdrawal symptoms including: jumping, rearing, genital grooming, abdominal writhing, and wet dog shake were recorded for 60 minutes.
Results: Our results showed that hydroalcoholic extract of Cinnamomum at doses of 50, 100and 200 mg/kg decreased genital grooming. In addition,all doses of the extract of Cinnamomum decreased the total withdrawal scores signficantly.
Conclusion: Hydroalcoholic extract of Cinnamomum was effective in reducing the symptoms of morphine withdrawal.
Keywords: Hydroalcoholic Extract of Cinnamomum, Morphine, Withdrawal symptoms.
