Background and Aim: Development of medical tourism can contribute to employment boom in border areas. This study aimed to design an internationalization model for service businesses in border areas in relation to medical tourism industry. Materials and Methods: The current study was performed by using a sequential explanatory mixed method. In qualitative stage, to identify principal components for internationalization of service businesses in border areas considering medical tourism, literature review and in-depth interview were carried out and to finalize the components, Delphi method was used. In quantitative stage we used exploratory factor analysis to evaluate the extracted model. Using SPSS and Smart PLS software, we used qualitative content analysis and structural equations for data analysis. Results: For the identification of the principal components, a total of 20 in-depth interviews were performed and, for finalization of the model, 388 people were entered into the study. Seven dimensions as the model dimensions along with sub-components were extracted. The results showed that all the structural, behavioral and environmental factors were effective in the processes (amount: 0.83 and t: 45.12) and the results (amount: 0.75 and t: 10.34). Also all dimensional processes can affect the results (amount: 0.87 and t: 12.67). It can be concluded that casual accuracy relationships existing in the studied model are confirmed and it is a suitable model. Conclusion: All the structural, behavioral and environmental factors can affect the results and processes. Also all dimensional processes can affect the results. The above mentioned model was confirmed. Therefore, to internationalize medical tourism, at first, the current status of the country’s border areas should be compared to that of the model. In order to move forward for internationalization, necessary actions based on a multi-year plan should be considered.

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of taping therapy on primary dysmenorrhea severity, premenstrual syndrome and its dimensions in Sardasht University students from 2018 to 2019. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study 50 female students with moderate to severe dysmenorrhea and mild to moderate premenstrual syndrome were selected randomly and placed into control (n = 25) and intervention (n = 25) groups by blocking method. The intervention group used tape; the control group did not use anything but were attended in a free training class session. The questionnaires used in this study included demographic and menstrual characteristics questionnaire, visual analog scale questionnaire, premenstrual syndrome checklist and Moos menstrual distress questionnaire. Data obtained from these questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test, paired t-test, chi-square test and ANCOVA. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in regard to the demographic characteristics (P <0.05). The mean scores of dysmenorrhea, menstrual distress questionnaires and its dimensions except for arousal, were not significantly different between the intervention and control groups before the intervention (P <0.05). Also, there was no significant difference between the groups in relation to the total scores of dysmenorrhea, menstrual distress questionnaires and its dimensions, except for severity of dysmenorrhea after the intervention (P<0.05). Results of ANCOVA after controlling the confounding variables, showed only a significant difference between the control and intervention groups in regard to the severity of dysmenorrhea (P <0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that taping therapy can be used as an effective non-pharmacological method in the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

Background and Aim: People spent most of their time indoors. Therfore, quality of indoor air ,especially in the therapeutic settings is of particular importance. This study aimed to determine the level of pollutants in indoor and outdoor air of Tohid Hospital in Sanandaj. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study 120 indoor and outdoor air samples were collected by TES-5200 copper counterpart machine made by TES company in Taiwan. Particulate matter samples were collected from 9 wards and also 3 stations in every ward in the hospital. Also air samples were obtained from 3 selected stations outside the hospital. Samples were taken from the selected sites twice. The results were analyzed by Excel and SPSS software. Results: According to the results of this study, the highest and lowest concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5, PM4, PM7, PM10) belonged to the emergency room and the operating room, respectively. The highest level of PM1 concentration was detected in the ICU ward. There was no significant relationship between temperature and particle concentration and also between moisture and particle concentration in the wards of the hospital. In regard to particulate matter, the emergency department was the most contaminated ward and the operating room had the best condition. Conclusion: The relationship between the concentrations of particles in the outdoor and indoor air indicated the penetration of these particles from outside into the hospital building. Also, outdoor air can affect indoor air quality.

Background and Aim: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in the world. Timely use of appropriate diagnostic methods in the early stages of this cancer can reduce its consequences and mortality. Materials and Methods: 287 women with breast mass referring to the Breast Cancer Research Center affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran (Iran) participated in this cross-sectional study. Demographic data, clinical manifestations and drug history were recorded. Clinical examinations were carried out by a qualified physician. Finally, the correspondence between the data obtained from the clinical examinations with the pathologic results was evaluated. Results: 287 women with breast cancer (age range: 22-84 year old) participated in the study. Mean and standard deviation (SD) of participants’ age was 47.71±11.62. Based on pathology results 64 subjects (22.30%) had benign and 223 (77.70%) had malignant lesions. 37 subjects (12.89%) had benign and 250 (87.11%) had malignant lesions on the basis of the clinical breast examination (CBE). Sensitivity and specificity of CBE were 98.21% and 51.56%, and also, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were 87.6% and 89.19% respectively. Younger women were less likely to have malignant breast mass compared to older women. Moreover, a significant difference was found between unemployed and employed women as well as between menopausal and non-menopausal women. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that clinical examination by skilled physicians can still be an important, highly sensitive and reliable method for diagnosis of breast cancer, especially in the patients who had breastfed their infants for more than 24 to 72 months, and menopausal women or patients with more than 3 pregnancies.

Background and Aim: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is one of the most common bacterial causes of diarrhea worldwide. One of the most important ETEC colonization factors is B subunit of the heat labile enterotoxin, which forms the connecting part of the toxin. In the present study, egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) against recombinant LTB protein was produced and its protective effect was evalutated in the animal model. Material and methods: Hens were injected intramuscularly with 100 μg of recombinant LTB protein. Antibody titers of the sera were estimated and the eggs were collected. IgYs were purified from egg yolk and the antibody titers were subsequently estimated by ELISA method. Effecacy of different concentrations of IgY against the effect of LT toxin on Y1 cells was also studied. In order to investigate the effect of IgY-treated bacteria on intestinal epithelial cells we used standard Ileal loop technique. Results: Induction of protein expression led to the production of recombinant LTB with molecular weight of about 14 kDa. Concentration of purified protein was 4.5mg/ml. Immunization of the hens induced serum antibody rise. IgY against LTB was purified from egg yolk at a concentration of 12mg/ml. 125 μg per ml of IgY against LTB prevented the effects of heat labile enterotoxin on Y1. In the Ileal loop test, 1.5 mg / ml of IgY neutralized the toxin effect of LTB on the intestine. Accumulation of fluid in the test loops decreased by 74.8% compared to that in the untreated control loops. Conclusion: The results obtained indicated that specific egg yolk immunoglobulin was effective against recombinant LTB protein and can be used as a preventive antibody to inhibit the heat labile enterotoxin function of ETEC bacteria.
背景与目的:产肠毒素大肠杆菌是世界范围内引起腹泻的最常见细菌之一。ETEC最重要的定殖因子之一是热不稳定肠毒素的B亚基,它构成了毒素的连接部分。本研究制备了抗重组LTB蛋白的卵黄免疫球蛋白(IgY),并在动物模型上评价了其保护作用。材料与方法:将重组LTB蛋白100 μg肌肉注射给鸡。测定血清抗体滴度,采集虫卵。从蛋黄中纯化IgYs,用ELISA法测定抗体滴度。研究了不同浓度IgY对LT毒素对Y1细胞的影响。为了研究igy处理的细菌对肠上皮细胞的影响,我们采用标准回肠环技术。结果:通过诱导蛋白表达,获得分子量约为14 kDa的重组LTB。纯化蛋白浓度为4.5mg/ml。免疫后蛋鸡血清抗体升高。从蛋黄中纯化抗LTB IgY,浓度为12mg/ml。125 μg / ml IgY抗LTB可抑制热不稳定肠毒素对Y1的影响。回肠环试验中,1.5 mg / ml IgY可中和LTB对肠道的毒素作用。与未经处理的控制回路相比,测试回路中的液体积聚减少了74.8%。结论:卵黄特异性免疫球蛋白对重组LTB蛋白有抑制作用,可作为抑制ETEC菌热不稳定肠毒素功能的预防性抗体。
