Abstract
Introduction: Normal growth of children is an index of their health. So growth monitoring is a routine service provided in most health care systems. This study has been performed in order to assess the effectiveness of growth monitoring regarding incidence of failure to thrive (FTT) and head circumference.
Materials and methods: There was a historical cohort study in which the children who were 12 -14 months old at the time of study under the coverage of health service of Aboozar health center, Tehran medical university, were evaluated. We used linear, logistic and Cox modeling for detecting statistical association of the distinguished variables.
Results: There was no significant association between number of growth monitoring visits and the size of head circumference (linear model). In addition to, there was a significant association between the number of growth monitoring visits and incidence of FTT (logistic model).
Conclusion: According to our data, it seems that growth monitoring has a preventing role in growth of failure to thrive children. |

Abstract
Abstract Background: Over 2 billion world people suffer from iron deficiency. Teenager girls are one of vulnerable groups in this area. Health education with various methods is a suitable tool for motivating and modifying incorrect function. The purpose of this research was determining the effect of health education program base on PRECEDE Model for controlling iron- deficiency anemia. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental and two-phase study was done on 72 students placed into case and control groups in 2007-8. Intervention was done in three sections with 45 minutes and 3 months after educational intervention was followed. Questionnaire base on PRECEDE Model parts and blood lab exams (Hb, Hct, Feritin) were data gathering tool. Data were analyzed by pair T- test, independent T- test, Mann- Whitney and Chi- square tests. Results: The mean score of knowledge (p<0.001) and attitude (p<0.001) (Predisposing factors), Using educational resources, taking place educational class and participating in educational programs (Enabling factors), encourage family and teachers (Reinforcing factors) and iron deficiency anemia preventive behaviors had a significant increase in the case group after the educational intervention. Conclusion: Above results indicate positive effect of educational intervention program base on PRECEDE Model and main components (Predisposing, Enabling, Reinforcing factors) in improving of iron deficiency anemia preventive behaviors in the study population.

Abstract
Background: Nowadays, mothers have ceased to breastfeed due to several factors and resort to bottle-feeding or other forms of complementary feeding for their children. This results in physical and emotional problems for children, and socio-economic harms in communities. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of BASNEF model based education on successful breastfeeding in pregnant mothers referring to health centers in Arak. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out with the participation of 88 pregnant women. The participants were randomly allocated to interuention and control groups. Instructions were given in four sessions on the basis of BASNEF model and behavioral objectives. Eventually, the collected data were analyzed by using statistical tests. Results: Mean scores of knowledge, attitude, enabling factors and subjective norms in the inerurntion group before and after education showed a significant difference in comparison with control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Model-based education has positive impacts on behavior improvements. Thus, in health programs instead of applying traditional instructions, appying planned education programs based on health education models that have measurable and reliable effects is suggested.

Abstract
Background: The consumption of hydrogenated vegetable oils, rich sources of both saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids, is one of the most important risk factors for cardio-vascular diseases(CVD). The aim of this randomized semi-experimental control study was to modify the consumption habits of vegetable oils among families under the cover of health centers of Khomeini city. Materials and Methods: 136 adult women living in Khomein and Mohallat were randomly allocated to case and control groups. Data gathering instrument was a questionnaire based on PRECEDE framework. The educational intervention was weekly conducted in three 60-90 minute sessions based on the PRECEDE framework constructs for two months. Results: Mean scores of predisposing (knowledge and attitude), reinforcing, and enabling factors showed a significant difference in the case group in comparison to the control group(p<0.05). Also, hydrogenated vegetable oils consumption in case group decreased from 72% to 63% , whereas liquid vegetable oils consumption increased from 28% to 37%(p<0.05). Conclusion: Planning and implementation of an educational intervention program based on PRECEDE framework can be effective in reduction of hydrogenated vegetable oils consumption.

Abstract
Background: The rhizome of Iris songarica Scherenk has been prescribed as anodyne in Persian traditional medicine system. However, its effects have never been investigated experimentally. Thus, the present study was designed to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of alcoholic extract of Iris songarica Scherenk rhizome in mice.
Material and Methods: In this experimental study, adult male balb/c mice were used. 40 animals were allocated into five equal groups (control, morphine 5mg/kg, the extracts at doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg.kg) and tested for antinociceptive evaluation via using hot-plate in 30,60 and 120 minutes after the investigations. Also, the other 36 mice were divided into six equal groups (no-inflammation control, inflammation model, dexamethasone 4 mg/kg and the extracts at doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg.kg) and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity in xylene induced inflammation model. All the investigations were done via intraperitoneal injection. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests in SPSS.
Results: Compared to the control group, the extract at the all doses could increase latency time in hot plate test at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after investigation (p<0.05).This potential was comparable to morphine in the high doses or long time. In addition, the extracts at the all doses exhibited high anti-inflammatory activity which was comparable to dexamethasone (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results of present study clearly showed that Iris songarica Scherenk rhizome has antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities in mice.
