Abstract
Background: Brucellosis, especially if caused by Brucella melitensis, remains one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide with more than 500,000 human cases reported annually. In Iran, brucellosis was first recognized in 1932 and control of small ruminant brucellosis began in 1963. The aim of this study is to give an overview of the National Sheep and Goat Brucellosis Control Program in Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from Iran Veterinary Organization over a period of 45 years. The national control program was based on kid and lamb vaccination and testing and slaughtering infected animals.
Results: B.melitensis biotype I in sheep, goat, and man was the predominant local infective biotype. This disease was reported in sheep, goat, cattle, horse, camel, and human. In addition, the prevalence of small ruminant brucellosis was estimated around 2.1%.
Conclusion: Prevention of brucellosis is dependent upon increasing public awareness of ranchers through health education programs and more active co-operation between health and veterinary medicine organizations as well as animal movement control in the borders.

Abstract
Background: Monitoring of facial nerve function during surgery help surgeons to preserve the nerve during parotid gland surgery. EMG is currently the standard method for monitoring, however, the rates of facial nerve paresis and paralyses are 68-18% and 3%, respectively. The disadvantages of this method are its cost and lack of access to it everywhere. Unipolar alternating electric current stimulation of the facial nerve causes contraction of the muscles and the nerves, and the damage can be avoided.
Materials and Methods: In this study, patients in the years 1388 to 1390 using monopolar electrocautery was undergoing parotidectomy and one month after surgery, the facial nerve injury were examined. During the study period, twenty patients had undergone total or superficial parotid gland resection and one excluded due to facial nerve involvement before surgery.
Results: In this study, 19 patients were studied. The mean age of patients participating in this study, 43.1 ± 13.9 years and 63.2% of them (12 cases) were female. A temporary palsy (5.4%) was observed and there was no paralysis.
Conclusion: Due to its availability and low cost, using electrocautery devices compared with standard facial nerve monitoring, EMG, is beneficial and the treatment results are also satisfactory.

Abstract
Background: Q fever is a zoonotic agent that is endemic in the many parts of the World. It has animal origin as considered as an emerging and re-emerging zoonose in many countries, including Iran. Cattle, sheep, and goats are the primary reservoirs for Q fever. Organisms are excreted in milk of infected animals. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence rate of Coxiella burentii in raw samples obtained from sheep in Bonab.
Materials and Methods: This study was carried out from Autuman 2014 to Winter 2014. Overall, 120 milk samples were collected from 100 dairy cattle breeding complexes and the diagnosis of Coxiella burnetii was confirmed by Nested-PCR method.
Results: In this study, in total, 26 samples (21.66%) were found to be positive for the presence of Coxiella burnetii.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of the bacterium, Coxiella burnetii, rapid and accurate diagnosis is of great significance. Due to high accuracy and high speed, molecular techniques are mostly effective in the diagnosis. Thus, the localization of molecular techniques in the diagnosis of Q fever is highly recommended. The results indicated that Cattle's milk could be a potential reservoir of Coxiella burnetii in Iran.

Abstract
Background: Childbirth is a stressful event that requires a mental adjustment. Optimism is one of the important determinants of psychological adjustment which is a combination of interest and positive attitude. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of optimism training during pregnancy on attitude and intentions to choose the mode of delivery in nulliparous women.
Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial , 64 primipar pregnant women with normal pregnancies, 34-30 weeks, without indication for cesarean section referring to the health centers in Mashhad in 2014 were selected and were randomly divided into two groups , A (trained) and B (no training). Optimism training during 5 session of the 60-minute, with the group participation of participants and active exercises was conducted. Data were analyzed with using the software SPSS and statistical tests including variance analysis, Fischer exact test, willcoxon, Square-Chi and paired t-test.
Results: Average attitude score towards c/s delivery in the study group, before and after training has a significant difference (p<0.001). Average attitude score towards natural childbirth was significantly higher in intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.002). Frequency of intentions to choose the mode of delivery in the study group, before and after training has a significant difference (p<0.033).
Conclusion: Reults showed that optimism training in creating a positive attitude towards natural childbirth and thus reducing the rate of elective c/s delivery is effective.

Abstract
Background: Today, overweight is a damaging agent that threats general health and mental states. So, the current research was done with the aim of specifying the relationship between personality attributes (neuroticism, psychoticism), self-efficacy in weight control with people’s weight.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive - correlational study. The sample concluded of all of students in Razi university of Kermanshah in year 2015-2016; of them 459 people were selected with stochastic random sampling method. The research tools were self-efficacy of lifestyle that effects on weight and Eisenck personality questionnaires.
Results: The results showed that there is a negative significant relationship between weight with neuroticism and psychotics (p<0.001), but there was no significant relationship between neuroticism and weight. Also, the results showed that the components of self-efficacy in weight control can predict weight of people. Based on this, overeating with impact factor equal to 0.001, diet with 0.28 and oral inhibition with -0.13 of impact factor can predict weight of people.
Conclusion: Due to the results, psycho personality and self-efficacy have roles in weight control of people.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Type 2 diabetes is one of the effective and inhibiting factors in controlling blood glucose and vascular disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and its type 1 receptor in cardiac tissue of type 2 diabetic rats following three different training methods.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 60 rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups: healthy control, diabetic control, and diabetic groups with endurance, resistance, and combined exercise training. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and exercises were performed 5 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Evaluation of the levels of gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor 1 was performed by RT-qPCR.
Findings: The results showed a significant reduction in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in diabetic control, endurance training and resistance training groups, as well as a significant increase in expression of its receptor in diabetic control group and all training groups compared to healthy control group (p <0.001). Comparisons with the diabetic control group showed that in all training groups, the vascular endothelial growth factor gene expression increased, but in the its receptor 1 it was significantly decreased (p <0.001).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that different training exercises are effective in improving angiogenesis, but combined exercises have a certain superiority compared to other exercises.
