the developed countries has been identified by the screening questionnaires and standard clinical interviews at a high level, but the epidemiological studies of psychiatric disorders in our country are brief and their numbers are few. Planning for providing essential mental health services to the people requires us to be knowledgeable about the present status of psychiatric disorders in the society. The objective of this research was to carry out the epidemiological study of the psychiatric disorders in the individuals 18 years and above in urban and rural areas of Kohgilouieh & BoyerAhmad province. Materials&Methods: 337 individuals selected through randomized clustered and systematic sampling methods from among the existing families of Kohgilouieh & BoyerAhmad province and the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (SADS) questionnaires completed by the clinical psychologist. The diagnosis of the disorders was based on DSM-IV classification criteria. Results: The results of the study showed that the prevalence of psychiatric disorder

ABSTRACT: Introduction & Objective: Considering the importance of nutrition in early years and mother’s prominent role ,the objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of nutritional education to mothers on 12-30 months toddlers food pattern. Materials & Methods: In this quasi-exprimental study subjects were consisted of 242 mothers with their 12-30 months toddlers who were referring to health-care centers in Tehran, Iran, in 2006. After defining the number of the samples, allocation of each health-care center was done by PPS1 method and then sequentially distributed into two groups, intervention and control. Data collection was done in two stages: at the beginning of the study and one month after intervention by three tools 1)questionnaire 2)scale 3)tape meter. During three months, mothers who participated in nutrition education program completed the FFQ. The researcher gave adequate comments to intervention group by face to face teaching. Data analysing was done by chi-squre, paired t.test & analysis of variance of repeated measures. Results: Before intervention, condition of food score was 6.859 and Z score was 2.789. After intervention, the conditionof food score was 7.983 and Z score was found to be 1.722. Before the intervention, in both groups, meat, fat, and sugar consumption was higher than normal ranges. After the intervention, fruit and vegetable consumption was increased. Before intervention, the condition of food questionnaire score was in middle range in two groups while the condition in intervention group was increased after intervention. Conclusion: Z score before intervention in two groups shows overwieght, but after the intervention lossing of wieght was seen.

Background & aim: Surgery and adjuvant therapies lead to body image problems and psychological distress in young women with breast cancer. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship of body image with psychological distress in women with breast cancer. Methods: This correlation study was carried out on 294 women with breast cancer at Imam Reza Hospital of Kermanshah, Iran, in 2011. The selection of the participants was based on purposive sampling. The Body image was assessed by BIS. The Psychological distress was assessed by DASS-21. The collected data was analyzed by Pearson correlation and Independent sample test. Results: Results showed that body image had a significant positive relationship with psychological distress (P < 0.001). Furthermore, younger women had greater trouble about body image and experienced greater psychological distress compared to elder women. Conclusion: This study showed that dissatisfaction about body image accompanied psychological distress. Also, younger women experience greater difficulties about body image and psychological distress. Therefore, suitable psychological interventions are recommended.

Background & aim: Nandrolone decanoate is one of the most drug Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS). On the other hand, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) induce secretion of testosterone and increased androgen production. The main aim of this study investigated the effects of mentioned hormone on destructive effects of drug AAS in cells and tissues of male reproductive system.

Methods: In the present laboratory-experimental study, male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups of three. Treated groups received 10 mg/kg/weekly of Nandrolone (Nd) for eight weeks, hormone group (H) rats received 500 IU weekly (IM or intra muscular)  of hCG for 8 weeks, Nandrolone plus hCG group (Nd – H) received Nandrolone solvent or peanut oil as a vehicle or sham (Sh) and Control (CO) without any injection. Sperm parameters such as motility, count and morphology were evaluated after 8 weeks by light microscopic. In addition, percentage of sperm viability was prepared using Eosin-nigrosin. Moreover, testes, Epydidim tail, prostate and seminal vesicle were weighted by laboratory scales. Statistical analysis was carried out by one-way ANOVA.

Results: The percentage of progressive motile sperm was decreased in Nd and Nd - H groups in comparison to the control and sham groups. The percentage of normal sperm morphology was not significantly decreased in treated groups compared to the control and sham groups. In addition, the results of sperm morphology indicated that a high percentage of abnormal sperm morphology (Tailless and Coil) was seen in the Nd experimental group. Additionally, the viability percentage was significantly decreased in the Nd group in comparison to the other groups. The testes weight was significantly decreased in the Nd group compared to the control and sham groups.

Conclusion: The hCG had positive effects on the destructive effects of Nandrolone on sperm parameters of adult rats and decreased negative effects of Nandrolone.

Background & aim: The use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the treatment of burns is a controversial issue. Many specialists start antibiotic treatment after the patient is admitted to prevent infection, while in most cases, antibiotic use is not necessary. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between the use of antibiotic prophylaxis on mortality, infection and drug resistance in burn patients without sepsis symptoms admitted to Amir al-Momenin Burn Injury Hospital.

Methods: The present analytical-cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020-2021 at Amir al-Momenin Burn Injury Hospital, Shiraz, Iran. 2982 patients were included in the study. Patients' information, results of bacterial culture and antibiotic resistance of isolated isolates were extracted from burn patients' registry system and health information system. Descriptive statistics and the collected data were presented in tabular form. Quantitative data were summarized as mean and standard deviation and qualitative data as frequency and percentage graphs. Statistical analysis was analyzed for the association of results using paired t-test and chi-square. The level of statistical significance in all tests was considered P≤0.05.

Results: Antibiotic resistance in hospitalized patients with prophylaxis treatment was 54.30%. The rate of mortality and re-hospitalization of patients in patients with no antibiotic prophylaxis was zero; In addition, the blood, liver and kidney factors of the patients were within the normal range. There was no significant difference between platelet levels, alkaline phosphatase serum level, alanine aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen level and its ratio to creatinine (P≥0.05) on the first day of hospitalization and at the time of discharge. On the other hand, there was a significant difference between the levels of white blood cells, neutrophils and albumin (P<0.001) in the first three days of hospitalization and the time of discharge.

Conclusion: The use of prophylactic antibiotics had no effect in the treatment of burn diseases without infection, and in order to reduce microbial resistance, it is better to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics in burn areas.
