Abstract
Nowadays the securing of children health and then the maintenance of community health is training programs about health, but before every health programs. Knowing the believes and tendency of people is necessary. The knowledge and attitude of mother regarding to supplementary food before and after the training were measured based on KAP study .( knowledge, Attitude , Practice ). The result of this study is as follows:
1-3.58% of studied mothers had good knowledge, 41.2% moderate knowledge, 55.38% weak knowledge before training and raised to 80.51% good knowledge, 19.48% moderate knowledge following training.
2- 95.56% of studied mothers had positive attitude and 4.46% negative attitude before training that raised to 100% positive attitude to supplementary food following training.
3- Statistically, there is no meaningful relationship between the knowledge of mothers regarding to supplementary food and number of child, job, but there is a relationship with the level of education.(0.025)

Abstract
Hypoglycemia is one of the most common preventable and curable metabolic disorders, especially seen in low birth weight infants. About 80% of hypoglycemic conditions are asymptomatic or the symptoms will present between the third to fifth days after birth that infants are discharged from the hospital. However even in asymptomatic cases, hypoglycemia has exposed the infant to sever defects of nervous system development which these defects depended on duration and severity of hypoglycemia will be remained as reduction of head circumference and psychomotor disorders for child especially in 3 to 5 years old. We studied 284 LBW infants that about 5.2% of them were hypoglycemic in the first 24 hours after birth. (Blood glucose was less than 30, g/dl). About 80% of cases were asymptomatic. 20% of showed were symptomatic such as hypotonia, generalixed convulsion with apena and total cyanosis. These infants were of twin pregnancy or Cesarian section. We also studied infants based on gestational age. (Preterm & IUGR) The prevalence of hypoglycemia in preterm infants was 2.3% and 6.6% in IUGR infants. There was no significant relation between the sex and incidence of hypoglycemia . The most common prevalence of hypoglycemia were seen in infants with body weight between 1500 -2000 grams.

Abstract
Introduction: Asthma is one of the most chronic long disease of childhood that caused repeated admitting in hospital & school day lost. Asthma identifies with recurrent attack of cough, dyspnea & wheezing. The goals of treatment are relief of Acute symptoms, prevention or diminish the frequency of recurrent symptoms maintain normal pulmonary functions & maintain normal activity level.
Materials and Methods: In our study, all patients with final diagnosis of asthma that hospitalized in Amir-Kabir hospital from 79.1.1 to 80.1.30 evaluated.
Results: first line drugs that used Aminophylline (62%), antibiotics 56%, corcosteriod 42%, inhaled salbutamol 14% and oral salbutamol 0.6%. others that used in the period of treatment according to prevalence are antibiotics 85% , aminophylline 74%, corticosteroid 5%, oral salbutamol 40%, adrenaline 31%, inhaled salbutamol 24% & theophylline_G 14%. Most of clinicians use aminophylline instead of beta agonist, Only 14%. patients receive inhaled salbutamol in the first line.
Conclusion: There findings reflect inappropriate therapy of asthma. It seems that little knowledge of clinicians about new medical methods, absence of new drugs and little knowledge of patients & their family of patients and their norriment about use of inhaled drug, are basic problems. That’s logical, that education of clinicians & patient their parents, explanation the mandatory of preparation of new drugs & proper device to manages can resolve their problems.

Abstract
Introduction: Children play an important role in the future of every country. In under developed countries like Iran, because of cultural and economic poverty, most children have malnutrition which will be result in physical and psychological growth disorders. In as much as zinc is one of the most important and essential elements in metabolism of different substances and human growth, this study was conducted to determine the effect of zinc supplementation on percentile weight of children with growth disorders.
Materials and Methods: In order to investigate the effect of zinc sulfate syrup on increasing the weight and percentile weight of children, a double-blind clinical trial was conducted in 70 children aging 9 to 36 months. The subjects lacked any associated disease-by laboratory testing. Thirty-five children consume zinc sulfate syrup 0.6% for three months (case group) and other consume daily placebo for the same time and dose (control group). The increase of weight percentile of children were measured in three times with the interval of one month.
Results: Our findings showed that during three months, the average amount of increasing in weight percentile was 4.5% and 3.7%, respectively. T test showed that the comparison of increasing in weight percentile between two groups was not significant
Conclusion: This investigation revealed that zinc supplementation had not any remarkable effects on increasing of weight and weight percentile of children with growth disorders.

Abstract
Introduction: Among the risk factors for coronary artery disease, less attention has been paid to physical activity, especially in children and adolescents. Various studies have shown that their level of physical activity is lower than the standard for maintaining lower health. In this study, the pattern of physical activity of children and adolescents in the central regions of Iran is examined.
Method: In this descriptive study, which is part of the first phase of the Isfahan Healthy Heart Project and was conducted in 2002, awareness of the attitude and performance of 4,000 urban and rural children and adolescents in preschool to high school in Isfahan (Isfahan, Najafabad) and Markazi (Arak city) and the parents of these students and 500 teachers and school officials have been examined about physical activity and the duration of watching TV through a questionnaire. Sampling was selected in the form of a random cluster and in proportion to the urban and rural population living in the two provinces. Data were analyzed with SPSS software and p<0.05 were considered significant.
Results: About 40 percent of middle and high school students in the two provinces practiced regular sports at school less than two hours a week. Regular morning exercise and school sports were more common in girls than boys (p<0.00001), but regular extracurricular exercise and sports team membership were more common in boys (P<0.001). More than 77 percent of parents were unaware of the importance of childhood exercise in their children's health. The average TV viewing time for children of different ages was 4 hours a day.
Conclusion: The level of physical activity of middle and high school students in the central regions of Iran is less than the desired level and the duration of watching TV is more than the recommended values.

Abstract
Introduction: Good nutrition is important for growth and development of children. Regarding the fact that most of brain growth is done in first years of life, the importance of a good nutrition at this time can not be denied. In our country there is a high incidence of growth failure. Todat the complementary nutrition teaching is being performed by primary care provider and physicians are less active in this important field. In this study we investigated the effect of complementary nutrition teaching by physicians on weight of children with growth failure.
Materials and Methods: This study is a before and after clinical trial. In this study 100 children between 6-24 months old with growth failure and no disease as the result for failure were investigated. Their mothers were educated about complementary nutrition by physicians. Then children,s weight was assessed every month for three months. Results were comparisoned with the data from three months before education.
Results: In this study 45% of children were male. The mean of age was 11.38 months. There was a meaningful difference between the difference of mean weight in the end of the without teaching period and its firast (-0.49) and the difference between the mean weight in the end of the teaching period and its first (1276 gr) (p<0.001). The difference of z score at the first of teaching period (1.25) in comparison with the without teaching period (0.04) was meaningfully increased.
Conclusion: In general mothers complementary nutrition teaching by physician had an effective role in resolving childrens growth failure and improving their weight gain. We recommend that when physicians are confronted with children with growth failure it is better to perform complementary nutrition education as a priority instead of performing paraclinic studies.

Abstract
Introduction: Studies have shown that there is a relationship between metabolic syndrome and coronary heart disease. Hypertension is a common risk factor of both cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome phenotypes in patients with hypertension in Isfahan and Markazi provinces in center areas of Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was implemented in Isfahan and Markazi provinces in year 2001. Sampling method was random-clustering. 12514 people from both sexes who were above 19 years old were considered which based on ATP III, 1936 person of them had metabolic syndrome. Based on the definition, these people were those who at least had three of the following factors abnormally: HTN, FBS, TG, HDL and WC. Also hypertension was considered for all groups. Data was analyzed using Chi square test and Odds ratio. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 0.6% to 7.5% in central areas of Iran. The most prevalent of metabolic syndrome was in hypertensive women with high TG and WC and the least prevalent was in hypertensive men with these two phenotypes: 1-high FBS and WC, and 2-high FBS and low HDL (p<0.05). Overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome in hypertensive people in the most of urban population was more than rural population. Conclusion: Results showed that hypertension is associated with different metabolic syndromes, especially in women with central obesity and dyslipidemia which necessitates more attention in preventing and treatment of the disease in this high risk group.

Abstract
Introduction: The vast majority of children with febrile seizure have a normal long term out come, but their parents are always worrying about recurrent febrile seizure. With attention to controversy in treatment a precise knowledge of the short and long term side effect is an important prerequisite for assessing the various treatment strategies. In this study we evaluated the efficacy of intermittent Diazepam and continuous Phenobarbital for the prophylaxis of recurrence of febrile seizure. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study 100 children with febrile seizure treated with intermittent Diazepam were compared with 100 children with febrile seizure treated with continuous Phenobarbital. Diazepam (1 mg/kg/d) was administered orally every eight hours during all febrile illness and Phenobarbital (3-5 mg/kg/d) was administered daily. Data were analyzed by chi-square and t-test. Results: During a mean follow up of 19 months, recurrence rates in the two groups were similar (14%). 74% of children receiving Phenobarbital had side effects versus 26% receiving Diazepam. (p=0.00001). Mean of fever in year was 3.2 ± 1.4 in Phenobarbital group and 3.0 ± 1.1 in which had no significant difference. Conclusion: Oral Diazepam, given only when fever is present, is safe and reduces the risk of recurrent febrile seizure.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Ziehl Nelson staining, fluorescent and also culture are the standard methods for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. In this study, the performance of conventional cultivation methods was compared with Flash PCR.
Materials and Methods: A total of 56 sputum samples from patients with suspected tuberculosis in Tuberculosis Center of Arak city were collected and Ziehl–Neelsen and culture in Löwenstein–Jensen medium were accomplished. Moreover, DNA from all of the 56 sputum samples was extracted by Chelex100 method. Molecular evaluation was accomplished by Flash PCR kit containing probes and primers for gene amplification IS6110. Positive and negative controls together with samples were used in a MTC410 apparatus for amplification. FD-12 apparatus was used to evaluate the results. In addition, electrophoresis on agarose was used for confirmation of the results.
Findings: From 56 sputum samples of suspected TB patients, 20 samples were positive and 36 samples were negative on microscopic evaluation and culture methods. FLASH-PCR molecular analysis showed that all of 20 positive samples were positive in molecular methods, too. On the other hand, three of sputum samples that were negative by culture and staining were positive in FLASH-PCR method. One of these 3 patients, received Isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol antibiotic by responsible medicine. All results were confirmed using conventional electrophoresis.
Conclusion: In some negative samples, possibly because of the small number of bacteria in sample or a defect in the sampling, the Flash PCR may due good advantages. Therefore, due to the low cost, this method is recommended for routine use.
