Background and Aim: Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common causes of head and neck cancer and is one of the ten leading causes of death in the world. its prognosis is weak due to late diagnosis and varied clinical. Environmental and climatic conditions play a role in cancers; for this reason, the necessity of epidemiological studies is felt. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ten-year epidemiology of cases infected head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in birjand. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, by the method of retrospective study was performed on 111 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. demographic and histopathological data were extracted from patient records. Subsequently, the data were then analyzed using one-way Chi-square test or Fisher's alpha level of α =0.05. Results: In this study, the mean age of the patients was 60.52 ± 12.9 years and the ratio of male to female was 2.08. The most common sites of involvement were larynx (63.1%) and followed by tongue (8.1%). For smokers, laryngeal involvement was 76.7% and for non-smokers, 54.4%, which is statistically significant (P=0.04). 54.1% of patients had squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with moderately differentiation. 55% of patients were living in the city. Moderately differentiated tissue lesions among drug users they were significantly higher(P=0.02). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has become more prevalent in men, especially the elderly, in recent years. The most common site of involvement in head and neck was the larynx, and smoking significantly increased the prevalence of laryngeal lesions.

Background and Aim: The residuals of drug are belonging to emerging pollutants. Drugs and their metabolites should be removed from water resources due to potential risks and their toxicities for humans and the environment.These materials are not completely eliminated by the conventional methods of water and wastewater treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal of acetaminophen using single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes from aqueous environments. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, the effect of different parameters such as: pH, initial concentration of acetaminophen, adsorbent dose, time of touch and mixing speed were investigated in acetaminophen removal by single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The adsorption isotherms of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Rudeshkuvich and BET and pseudo-first and pseudo-second order adsorption kinetics were also investigated. Acetaminophen concentration was measured by spectrophotometer at (λ max=258 nm). Results: The result of the experiments showed that single-wall and multi-wall carbone nanotubes could be able to removal 38.59% and 28.24% of acetaminophen at time=45 min , PH=7. With increasing the dose of nanotubes, the removal percentage increased and absorption capacity decreased, Absorption process showed the highest correlation with Langmuir model and pseudo-second kinetics (R>0.99). Conclusion: The results showed that single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotube adsorbents can be used as an effective adsorbent in the removal of acetaminophen from aqueous environments along with other treatment methods.

Background and Aim: Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of Tarragon alcoholic extract on spatial learning and memory deficits, induced by chronic immobilization stress in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 60 male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups (each group of 10 rats): Control(without treatment), under stress, receiving 100 mg / kg Tarragon extract, receiving 500 mg / kg Tarragon extract, stress receiving and 100 mg / kg Tarragon extract simultaneously, and finally Stress receiving group and 500 mg / kg tarragon extract simultaneously. The rats in under stress group, 6 hours every day for 21 consecutive days they encountered with immobilized stress. Groups receiving Tarragon extract, during this period, the doses of 100 mg / kg.bw and 500 mg / kg.bw were extracted by gavage, and two groups receiving the extract and stress simultaneously, in addition to receiving Tarragon extract at the same doses they also faced stress. Spatial learning and memory of animals were evaluated by using the Morris Water Maze test. Results Immobilized stress impaired learning and memory in animals. Delay time (seconds) and distance (cm) moved to reach the hidden platform was significantly increased in the stress group compared to the control group (P <0.01 and P <0.05, respectively). Also in probe test, total elapsed time (s) and distance (cm) in target quadrant decreased significantly in stress group compare with control group (p<0.001 and p<0.05 respectively). Receiving both doses of Tarragon extract improved spatial learning and memory in under stressed rats. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that Tarragon extract prevent memory impairment and may be useful in preventing and treating of neuro-degenerative diseases due to stress.

Background and Aim: Ulcerative Colitis is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease that is common in adults. Although corticosteroids are the most effective preservative treatment for Ulcerative Colitis. However, due to the dependence of these drugs and their serious complications, the use of an immunosuppressive drug or surgery should be taken seriously. Thus the aim of the study was the evaluation of the efficiency of low doses of azathioprine (AZA) in reducing relapse and corticosteroid-dependence in Ulcerative colitis patients. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 96 patients with ulcerative colitis were followed for one year. Patients who indicated by corticosteroid therapy not able to reduce the dose of corticosteroid, at second relapse was treated with 11.5 mg/kg of (AZA). Demographic characteristics, the severity of disease at the beginning of the study and response to treatment, recurrence of the disease, and drug side effects during the study. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test in SPSS software. Results: At the beginning of the study, over 50% of patients had high symptoms of the disease. In the patients under study, 40 (41.7%) patients had corticosteroid dependence, all of them being treated with (AZA).Of the 96 patients during the one-year followup 24 patients had relapses and 72 patients did not have relapses. 97.8% of corticosteroid patients with (AZA) prescription, Corticosteroid was discontinued and only one patient did not response to AZA and was underwent surgery. Conclusion: Given the prevalence of use of corticosteroids, prescription of low doses of (AZA) can be considered as one of the effective therapies to reduce the rate of relapse of the disease and to avoid frequent use of corticosteroids.
