Introduction: Different training methods have cardioprotective effects. The aim of this study was to examine the potential protective impact of continuous and interval swimming training with weights on cardiac morphological factors and serum levels of Apelin and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 in male Wistar rats.
Methods: In this experimental study, 27 male rats divided randomly into the control (n=6), sham (n=5), interval (n=8) and endurance (n=8) groups. The endurance group swam for 12 weeks/5 days while swimming time increased incrementally. During the 12-week/4-day period, the interval group engaged in swimming exercises while gradually increasing the load and reducing the duration of rest. Apelin and Insulin like Growth Factor-1 concentration, heart weight and left ventricle weight were measured. One-way ANOVA was utilized and Tuckey-HSD test was used to point out the place of significance (α ≤ 0.05).
Results: Findings showed that total heart weight in interval and endurance training compared to the control (P= 0.02 and P= 0.02 respectively) and sham (P= 0.02 and P= 0.02, respectively) significantly increased. Furthermore, the weight of the left ventricle showed a significant increase following endurance training in comparison to both the control (P= 0.02) and the sham groups (P= 0.02). Additionally, it was found to be significantly higher than the sham group following interval training. (P= 0.01). Apelin significantly increased in interval and endurance training compared to the control (P= 0.00 and P= 002 respectively) and sham groups (P= 0.02 and P= 0.04, respectively). Moreover, insulin like growth factor-1 significantly increased in interval and endurance training compared to the control (P= 0.01 and P= 0.01, respectively).
Conclusion: It appears that a 12-week swimming training program, particularly in an interval format, can induce physiological hypertrophy in cardiac tissue and provide cardiac protective benefits through the upregulation of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 and Apelin.

Introduction: Until now, many surgical sutures have been used for pterygium surgery, but it has not yet been determined which suture thread is preferable for pterygium surgery. In this study, we compared the results of using two surgical sutures, Nylon and Vicryl.
Methods: This study was conducted as a Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital. Seventy patients who were referred and met the criteria for pterygium surgery were assigned to two groups, A and B, each consisting of 35 individuals. Group A utilized the Nylon sutures while Group B utilized the Vicryl sutures. The examinations were performed in terms of study variables according to a questionnaire pre-determined by an ophthalmologist's assistant on the 1st day, 7th day, 4th, and 8th week after operation. The collected data were entered into STATA14 software and considering the qualitative nature of most dependent variables, the collected data were analyzed using Chi-square test.
Results: According to all the obtained results, it could be concluded that a certain sutures could not be chosen especially better than other suture, because each one had its own advantages and disadvantages. But on a case-by-case basis, Vicryl suture could be recommended for patients who had come to the hospital from far away cities because it did not need to be pulled by the doctor and it created the feeling of the presence of a foreign body in the patient's eye, because it reduced the need to return to the hospital.
Conclusion: In this study, we compared vicryl and nylon sutures in pterygium surgery, and for the first time among other similar studies, we investigated the rate of knot untying of the sutures, and came to the conclusion that each of the nylon sutures and Vicryl has its advantages and disadvantages, but due to the fact that in the Vicryl thread group, the presence of a body was felt less and it did not need to be pulled, we recommended it for the patients visiting from distant cities. It is suggested to compare vicryl and silk sutures in order to find the most suitable suture for pterygoid surgery.

Introduction: Microleakage is one of the most important factors in the failure of root canal treatment. Microhardness is one of the physical properties of bioceramics that can be affected by various environmental factors such as enviromental humidity. The aim of this study was to evaluation the effect of adding water to semi-setting cement on the microhardness and microleakage of CEM cement.
Methods: 50 single-rooted teeth were selected. Teeth were cut from the CEJ region and the apical 3 mm of the root were trimmed and dentinal blocks with 5 mm height were prepared Peeso reamer size 2 was used to prepare the canal. The teeth were divided into two groups of 23 cases and two groups of 2 positive and negative controls. In the first group, CEM-cement prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions was placed in the canal. In the second group, after adding water to the semi-setting CEM cement mixture, the canal was filled with this cement. The samples were placed in 1% methylene blue for 3 days and then cut. Microleakage was recorded under a stereomicroscope. The microhardness of the samples was measured with Vickers device after mounting in acrylic resin. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS19 software and Mann-Whitney Kruskal-Wallis and one-way ANOVA tests.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in microleakage (P-Value <0.008) and microhardness (P-Value <0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, adding water to the semi-setting CEM cement not only does have a very bad clinical effect, but also may even increase sealling ability.

Introduction: One of the serious challenges that societies all over the world are facing is the tendency of couples to have fewer children and to delay it. It is possible thatcovid-19 pandemic, in addition to the previous reasons, attitudes and factors affecting childbearing, may make couples physically and psychologically hesitant to accept the role of parents. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the attitude and intention to childbearing age during Covid-19 pandemic in married women of reproductive age in Yazd City in year 2022.
Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2022 to June 2022 on 225 married women aged 15-40 covered by comprehensive health centers in Yazd-Iran.
The data were collected by completing the demographic information questionnaire, the Persian Version of Attitudes toward Fertility and Childbearing Scale that was approved in 2014 by Baezt et al.; obtaining a higher score indicated a more favorable attitude By answering to the open-ended questions, by self-reporting and electronically, the information related to the factors affecting the intention to have children was collected. The data were analyzed with SPSS16 software.
Results: The results showed that the attitude towards having children in the research community was not favorable (66.96 ± 10.55). Economic problems (n=184, 81.1%), Covid 19 pandemic (n=129, 56.4%) and the importance to comfort and convenience of parents (n=70, 30.8%) was considered as one of the most important factors affecting couples intention to childbearing.
Conclusion: Although the spread of communicable diseases and epidemics can affect the desire of couples to childbearing, but the economic problems and the economic consequences of the pandemic, had undeniable and greater effects on the desire of families childbearing.

Introduction: The third root of mandibular molar teeth is the most important normal anatomical variation in these teeth. Failure to recognize the presence of this root is one of the most common reasons for treatment failure in these teeth. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Radix Entomolaris in the mandibular first and second molars in the population of Yazd City using CBCT imaging.
Methods: In this study, 217 CBCT images prepared in an oral and maxillofacial radiology clinic were examined. The presence of the third root in the first and second molar teeth of the mandible was investigated according to the gender of the patients and the side of the tooth placement. Data were analyzed using SPSS16 software and Chi-Square statistical test.
Results: The prevalence of Radix Entomolaris in the present study in first molar and second molar teeth was recorded 5.1% and 1.8%, respectively. It was reported that its bilateral prevalence was 1.4%. In unilateral cases it was observed more on the right side. The occurrence of Radix Entomolaris had no statistically significant relationship with gender (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The overall frequency of Radix Entomolaris in the population of Yazd City is 6.9%. Its frequency is more likely to be unilateral, mostly in the first molar and without the influence of gender.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of the most common infections that lead to death,; incidence of tuberculosis is higher in individuals with immune system deficiency. Candidates for receiving immunosuppressive drugs should be examined for the presence of latent tuberculosis, so that if this test is positive, appropriate treatment and prophylaxis measures for tuberculosis can be carried out for them. The purpose of this study was to screen patients who are candidates for receiving immunosuppressive drugs in terms of tuberculosis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the patients who were candidates for injectable immunosuppressive drugs hospitalized in Shahid Sadoughi Hospital between 2019 to 2020. Tuberculin skin test (TST) was taken from all eligible patients by the infection control unit of the hospital. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS V16. The P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Participants were divided into three groups: healthy (TST=0-4), suspected (TST=5-9) and infected with tuberculosis (TST≥10); the frequency in the three groups was 83 (23.9%), 164 respectively. (47.3%) and 100 (28.8%). There was a significant relationship between the reason for referral to receive immunosuppressive drugs and the results of the TST test (P=0.003).
Conclusion: If the patients with rheumatology, dermatology disorders and kidney transplant candidates receive immunosuppressive drugs, they are at high risk of primary tuberculosis infection and activation of latent tuberculosis, and it is necessary for health workers to pay more attention to this issue
