Abstract
Neissaria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent of gonorrhoeae. Culture and antibiogram for this bacteria in clinical n laboratory in not usuall. In the present research 50 gonorrhoeae isolated from 287 exodate patients 14 isolate were sensitive a and 4 isolates were intermediate and 32 out of 50 isolate were resistant to penicillin and 25 of these 32 isolate were resistant due to b-lactamase activity and 4 of thses due to chromosomal resistance. 26% of isolates also were resistant to spectinomycin but all of the isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. Only 2% of isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone. So nowdays penicillin is not indicated for therapy of gonorrhoeae. Spectinomycin is a drug must be administrated with precaution and follow up of patient is necessary. Ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin are effective drugs that we can use them for resistant strains.

Abstract
Introduction: Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a gram negative diplococci belong to family neisseriacae and is causative agent of gonorrheae. Culture and antibiograme of this bacteria is done lower than other cases and determination rate of MIC in this bacteria is inly done in reference laboratories. The goal of this study id introducing a relationship which in studied population, MIc more easily and eithout doing complex technical examinations is placed available for physicians.
Materials and Methods: In this research on 50 cases of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated from patients with gonorrhoeae antibiograme test were done and then for every antibiotic discs the zone of inhibition were measured. Then on the basis of instructions of NCCL for four antibiotics were planed to this disease (penicillin, tetracycline, spectinomycine and ceftriaxone) MIc on GC agar medium were measured and between zone of inhibition as an independent variable and MIC as a dependent variable linear regression is seen which from this line equation can understand how is the relation between MIc and zone of inhibition. It means that wether this relationship is direct or reverse?
Results: The findings show that in all antibiotics the relationship between zone of inhibition and MIc are negative (reverse) and regression coefient for first three antibiotics have (p<0.0001) and for fourth antibiotics has (p<0.001).
Conclusions: It means that with probability less than 0.0001 for penicillin, tetracycline, spectinomycine and probanility less than 0.001 for ceftriaxone can estimate the counter effect pf zone of inhibition and MIc in studied population.

Abstract
Abstract Background: Necessary to making constant revisions in the continuous education programs and updating the physicians’ knowledge in accord to the needs of society seems to be essential. The present study was conducted to conformity of continuous educational programs’ content of radiology department with needs of Continuous medical education learners, Markazi province, 2008. Materials and Methods: In this cross- sectional study, in 2008, the opinions of 40 physicians falling under continuous medical education (CME) were collected through a questionnaire on a Likert scale in more than 30 instructional topics. Before educational program performance, priorities in education were assessed and after performance, rate of coverage and requirements conformity with content was determined. Results: The most educational need was indication of chest x-Ray with mean of 4.21 and the less need was wrist MRI with mean of 2.42. After program performance, the greatest conformity of needs with educational content was indication of mammography (mean= 83.1) and wrist and shoulder MRI (mean=53.2) which was the least required. Though, there was a general correlation between need and content coverage in both areas of graph indication order and interpretation, but was not base on priority needs. There was significant relationship between physicians needs with educational needs (p<0.001). But about gender and work experience was not significant relationship. Conclusion: Lake of complete coverage of needs base on educational priority of CMS learners will seek greater attention and emphasis or scientific secretary and lecturer on needs in special educational objectives frame for accelerating of continuous education effectiveness.

Abstract
Background: The use of proper contrast agents is very effective in improving the quality of medical imaging. In this study, we dealt with the effect of high PH blackberry juice accompanied with omeprozole in reducing the upper fluid artifact in MRCP images. Methods: This single blinded before-after clinical trial was done with the enrollment of 34 patients. After receiving official agreement from the patients and applying the enrollment criteria, they were ordered to take two 20mg omeprozole capsules the night before the exam. The next day, while they had been held NPO, they were exposed to the first MRCP. After this, they drank 300cc blackberry juice and were re-examined after 15 minutes. The related checklists were printed and three radiologists independently inspected the reduction of artifact checklists and the resolution of images. Eventually, the quality of images and the mean of artifact reductions in the images before and after black berry Juice consumption were compared. Results: Reduction of artifact scores due to gastrological secretions did not show any significant differences before and after black berry juice consumption (2.97±0.37 and 2.89±0/87, respectively). Additionally, no significant changes were observed in the visibility of gall bladder, water ampoula, common hepatic duct, intrahepatic ducts and head of pancreatic duct images. There was a decrease in the common bile duct visibility (p=0.01). In the case of pancreatic duct tail and body visibility, images showed improvements (p=0.04 and 0.03, respectively). Conclusion: Blackberry juice, as a contrast agent, does not seem to have enough paramagnetic metals and does not improve the quality of MRCP.

Abstract
Background: Considering that pre-diabetes is one of disorders that increases developing of diabetes, this study was performed to investigate the effect of L-Arginine supplementation on antioxidant enzyme activity, total antioxidant capacity, and body composition in patients with pre-diabetes.
Materials and Methods: A double-blinded randomized clinical trial was performed on 46 pre-diabetic patients. Patients in intervention (n=23) and placebo groups received 3g/day L-arginine and placebo (three 1gr L-arginine capsules), respectively for 8 weeks. Anthropometric, body composition, and dietary intake assessments, and also biochemical tests were done at baseline and end of study. Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), glutathione peroxidase enzyme and superoxide dismutase activity were measured. Paired t-test, independent t-test and ANOVA were used to analyze quantitative variables.
Results: Thirty eight patients (19 subjects in each group) completed the study. After adjusting confounding factors, no significant difference in body composition, anthropometric indices and dietary intake was observed at the end of study (p<0.05 in all factors), but a significant difference in TAC level was observed in the intervention group at the end of study (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Supplemenation with 3gr/day L-arginine for 8 weeks led to raised serum TAC level without changes in body composition in pre-diabetic patients.

Abstract
Background: The prevalence and incidence of cancer in different parts of the world have different patterns. To recognize the frequency of malignancies in different social groups according to climatic conditions is considered as the primary component of prevention programs at different levels. This study was conducted to investigate the epidemiology, survival rates and geographical epidemiology of breast cancer in Markazi province.
Materials and Methods: In this epidemiological study, needed data were obtained from cancer registration program and death registration data. The data were analyzed by using SPSS software version 16 and Winpepi and significant level was 0.05. And to draw a map to show the breast cancer incidence rate in Markazi district, Arc view software was used.
Results: Out of the 400 cases recorded during the 5-year, 8.5% died due to breast cancer. 5-year survival rate was 87% and there was a significant correlation between survival rate and age. Most records were related to the age group 49-40 years and the highest incidence rate was in Arak. The trends of incidence rate was not significant.
Conclusion: The results showed that 5-year breast cancer survival rate is more than some other places which could be due to new and improved methods of treatment and methods of screening and early detection of disease. Other aspects of the epidemiology of the disease is similar to other parts of Iran.

Abstract
Background: Thyroid nodules are common. 4-7% of adults have a palpable nodule and up to 50-70% of nodules are detected in high-resolution sonography. Thyroid nodules in women are 4 times greater than men and the rate of thyroid cancer in women is 3:1 compared to men, and is the sixth most common cancer in women. Epidemiological findings and experimental evidences show that sex hormones, especially estrogen, may have effect on this gland and its neoplasm. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between rs1256049 polymorphism in the estrogen receptor beta gene with thyroid nodular disease.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 146 Patients with nodular thyroid and 151 health individuals were referred to Amiralmomenin hospital of Arak were recruited in study. Diagnosis is based on by ultrasonography and was confirmed by an endocrinologist. Genomic DNA was extracted from EDTA treated whole blood .The genotypes were determined using tetra-amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) and analyzed by statistical methods.
Results: The frequency of CC, TC and TT genotypes in case group 136(93.2%), 10(6.8%) and 0(0%) and in the control group 139(92.1%), 12(7.9%) and 0(0%) were obtained respectively. No statistically significant association (p=0.72) was observed between nodular thyroid disease and rs1256049 polymorphism.
Conclusion: Our findings showed no significant association between rs1256049 polymorphism and nodular thyroid disease. For best deduction, it is recommended that this study be done in other populations.

Abstract
Background: Height and weight growth failure are among the most important health disorders affecting children less than two in the developing countries. Failure to treat this disorder can lead to the development of serious conditions including increased mortality and types of disability. The aim of the present study is to investigate the factors affecting the height and weight growth of children less than two years old.
Materials and Methods: This historical cohort study was conducted on a sample of 2030 children less than two in Khorramabad who were selected using stratified and cluster sampling methods. Based on household records, data related to the height and weight were recorded as quantitative variables and finally were modeled using a longitudinal marginal model, identity link functions and the R software.
Results: Based on the marginal model, the effect of such variables as child's age, child's gender and mother's educational attainment were significantly related to the child's height and weight. Moreover the child's birth order had significant relationship with only the child's height. However, the variable of exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months was no significantly related to weight and height growth of the children.
Conclusion: Given the results, it seems that monitoring the growth of the children of the illiterate mothers, specially the girls and the children with first birth orders are the most important approaches to deal with growth disorders among this population.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Lip reading is extraction of speech data from the activity of the lower part of face, particularly jaws, lips, tongue, and teeth that is a natural skill in people with hearing loss. The main purpose of lip reading is to increase the independence of people with hearing loss. Looking at the speakers facial movements significantly increase the ability to understand the spoken words, particularly in the environments where noise is present. In fact this reflects the important role of visual signals. In current study we consider the effects of education on lip reading ability by planning and instructing a lip reading program in male subjects.
Methods & Materials: Sara lip reading test 1 and 2 were used for the assessment of lip reading skills and for studying the effects of lip reading training on recognition of speech. This intervention as a semi-experimental study, was conducted on 27 male students, selected by available sampling. For data analysis, statistical analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Mcnemar was used.
Ethical Considerations: This research with the code IR.SBMU.REC.1394.144 has been approved by the ethics committee of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Results: There were significant differences between Sara lip reading test 1 scores in 2 positions (P=0.000).Lip reading test scores also showed significant differences in Sara lip reading test 2 in 2 positions (P=0.000). Also between the scores of Consonant-vowel, consonant-vowel syllables, in the position before teaching lip-reading and then ,was significant difference (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that instructing lip reading has a positive effect on lip-reading ability in people.
