Abstract
� ABSTRACT Backgroun and Aim: In acute extensive injuries of soft tissues of hand leading to exposure of vital elements such as nerves, vessels, tendons, bones and joints locoregional or distant flaps are required to cover the injured areas. The aim of the study is to introduce a new flap with better cosmetic and functional quality for the coverage of defects of the soft tissues of hand. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial. In Hazrat Fatemeh Hospital, 20 patients with extensive soft tissue injury of hands due to various crushing trauma leading to avulsion of soft tissues were entered into this study. The subjects were divided randomly into two groups, each group consisted of 10 patients. In the case group, coverage of the defects of hands were performed with distally based radial artery perforators flaps. In the control group, other routine and known flaps such as Chinese flap (6 cases) and groin flap (4 cases) were used to cover the defects. Results: The flap repair in the case group was nearly successful in all of the cases. Only 2 cases developed partial necrosis of the flaps, one of them managed conservatively and the other one was repaired by minor surgical procedures. After 6 months the flaps were soft and pliable. Grafts were required for the repair of all of the donor sites. In the control group 60% of the cases were operated in one stage, 20% in two stages and 20% in three stages. Total necrosis of flap occurred only in one case. After 6 months 60% of flaps were pliable and 40% were bulky requiring another additional debulking procedure in 50% of the bulky flaps. Skin grafts were required in 40% of the cases to repair the donor sites. Conclusion: According to this study distal radial perforators based pedicle forearm flap is a safe one-stage operation in which radial artery is preserved and offers good results in the treatment of extensive soft tissue injury of hands and can be substituted for other routine flaps.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Isolated deep burn of perineal area is rare and usually occurs in cases with extensive burn. The etiology of this kind of burn may be of thermal, chemical or electrical origin. Treatment in most cases is conservative and surgical intervention rarely required. Isolated deep burn of perineal area has been reported in some special circumstances such as falling into furnace or pots containing hot fluids and sitting on exhaust pipe of vehicles but no dysfunction of anal sphincter after formation of perineal annular scar had been detected. Our objective is to focus on particular cases of perineal burn and its complications.
Case Report: A 12 years old Afghan boy with history of previous burn of perineal area at the age of 6 months, due to falling into boiled water, referred to Tohid Hospital with chief complaint of fecal incontinence. At that time the patient had been managed conservatively for his burn. As far as the patient`s parents remember, he had been suffering from fecal incontinence since his childhood. In physical exam an annular scar around anus together with lack of sphincter tone were detected. By releasing the scar and use of skin graft, sphincter tone improved gradually.
Conclusion: In special cases of isolated perineal deep burn, conservative management may lead to scarring and dysfunction of anal sphincter with fecal incontinence, imposing physical, social and psychological impacts specially on children. Proper and timely treatment is recommended to prevent this complication.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Keratinocytes are useful for cellular transplantation studies in order to improve functional outcome in burn patients and chronic wounds. Recently they have been used for generation of iPS cells with high efficiency. In this study, we described the details on separation, culture and proliferation of human keratinocytes from foreskin samples.
Material and Method: In this experimental and qualitative study we obtained neonatal foreskin samples following newborn circumcision under sterile conditions. We used dispase enzyme to separate the epidermis from the dermis. Trypsin enzyme was used for isolation of keratinocyte cells from the epidermis layer. Isolated cells were cultured in type I human collagen-coated dishes and serum-free Epilife medium. We assessed morphological and immunocytochemical aspects of the isolated cells.
Results: Morphological and Immunocytochemical analyses revealed that isolated cells have typical keratinocyte morphology and they could express CK14 which is a specific marker of the keratinocytes. The cells were successfully sub-cultured at a split ratio of 1:2 every 4 to 5 days. After passage 10, a significant decrease in the proliferation of the human keratinocyte cells was observed. Morphologically the cells were flat and thin.
Conclusion: In this study we improved the method of isolation and cultivation of human keratinocyte from foreskin. Using this method, we isolated human keratinocytes for more than 20 times. Thus, it can be concluded that this method is reproducible in other laboratories.
Keywords: Human keratinocytes, Foreskin, Cytokeratin 14, Serum free medium.

Abstract
Background and Aim: At present, the most important factor of scientific productivity in the world is the number of scientific articles indexed in major international databases, and the number of citations given to these articles. Using scientometric methods, we evaluated scientific output of the universities in Sanandaj city including Kurdistan University, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences and Islamic Azad University of Sanandaj in a decade (from 2004 to 2013).
Materials and Methods: In this citation analysis study, data collection was carried out on the internet using Scopus citation database. Affiliation of each university was searched through search box of Scopus. We collected data for each university in relation to the following indices: "number of articles published in the last ten years", "number of citations given to the articles in the last ten years", "H- index" and "ten journals" which had published the highest number of articles. Data were analyzed by using "analyze results" part of the database.
Results: Three universities with 2049 documents and 9192 citations contributed to one percent of Iran scientific production. Kurdistan University had 1372 documents and 7969 citations, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences had 372 documents and 837 citations and Islamic Azad University of Sanandaj had 305 documents and 386 citations. H-indices for the three universities were 37, 14 and 9 respectively. Islamic Azad University of Sanandaj and Kurdistan University with 98 and 239 documents respectively in 2011 and Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences with 139 documents in 2013 had the highest growth in the number of articles. The ratio of total number of citations to the articles for three universities was 4.5, meaning that each article had received 4.5 citations. This ratio was 5.8 for Kurdistan University, 2.25 for Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences and 1.26 for Islamic Azad University of Sanandaj.
Conclusion: Although science production in the universities of Sanandaj has shown an upward trend, but it is lower than the mean national science production. Attention to the potential of researchers of Kurdistan province and revision of the research policies can increase the contribution of this province to scientific productivity of our country.

Abstract
Background and Aim: There is no consensus in the literature on the relationship between blood groups and risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). The present study was conducted to evaluated the relationship of blood groups with UTI and determine the most common bacterial cause of UTI in different blood groups.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical (cross sectional) study was conducted from 2016 to 2018 in different wards of BouAli Sina Hospital. we used convenience sequential sampling method. Characteristics and blood groups of UTI cases, and blood group of all blood donors in Qazvin Province in 2018 were recorded. Using SPSS software 25, data were analyzed by chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Of 244 patients, 57% were female and the mean age of the patients was 70.83±14.98. No significant difference was observed between UTI patients and healthy population in regard to the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups (P>0.05). There was not a significant relationship between ABO and Rh groups and type of organism (P>0.05). The most common organism responsible for UTI was E. coli in the participants with different types of blood groups. The lowest rate of UTI due to E. coli (52%) belonged to O group and the highest rate (71%) was associated with AB group.
Conclusion: In comparison with the healthy population, rate of UTI was not different among the subjects with different blood groups. It seems that these antigens play a minor role in the pathogenesis of UTI. E.coli was the most common organism responsible for UTI in the participants with all blood subgroups.
