The converging technologies stimulate innovation, promote research and development in different fields and produce revolutionary progresses in medicine. These technologies enable us to create contacts between brains and machines, the growth in molecular nanotechnology, the construction of respirocytes, chromallocytes, clottocytes, nanorobotic phagocytes, and nanobots. Nanobots would enter the nucleus of a cell and extract all of the genetic material and replace it with a synthetically produced copy of the original that has been manufactured in a laboratory to contain only non-defective base-pairs. It is predicted that “the regenerative medicine”, as a megatrend, will have an enormous effect on medical technologies and clinical sciences. Regenerative medicine is an application field of converging technologies in translational medicine. It attempts to translate the results of tissue engineering to construct 3D tissues and organs. Regenerative medicine is also an exciting field for induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) and promises to bring about a paradigm shift to health care. Accumulating evidence indicates that converging technologies will offer great potentials for regenerative medicine to create innovative treatments for diseases that the traditional therapies have not been effective yet.

In fact, the science and technology corridor reflects the concept of development based on the knowledge region (the especial region for science and technology). The knowledge region is clearly a triple helix phenomenon par excellence: universities, governments and businesses combine their efforts to construct a common advantage which they would not be able to offer on their own. The future creative universities in connection with the knowledge city-regions not only will deal with innovation and entrepreneurial training but also produce a competitive, vibrant environment with high indices for quality of life and full of green technologies. In this article, we will present functional interactions of the creative universities in the triple helix, particularly the missions for the Iranian universities of medical sciences. As a theoretical model, the complex interactions of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences and Health Services with Bushehr Science and Technology Corridor will be discussed. 625 Musculoskeletal System Correlation between serum levels of uric acid with bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women Karimi Fariba g Mozhde Firooze h Darabi Hussain i Kalantar hormozi Mohammadreza j Akbarzadeh Samad k Ostovar Afshin l Assadi Majid m Vahdat Katayon n nabipour Iraj o g The Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IRAN h The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN i The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN j The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN k The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN l The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN m The Persian Gulf Nuclear Medicine Research Center, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr , IRAN n The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN o The Persian Gulf Marine Biotechnology Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1090 1099 02 10 2014 27 10 2014 Background: There is accumulation evidence regarding the protective role of higher serum uric acid in bone loss and osteoprotic fractures. This effect may arise from its antioxidant properties. The main aim of this study was to investigate serum uric acid in relation to bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women. Material and methods: A total of 382 postmenopausal women who participated in a prospective study were selected randomly from Bushehr port. Serum uric acid levels and biochemical markers including serum alkaline phosphatase were measured. Circulating levels of CrossLaps, osteocalcin and hsCRP were also measured by ELISA. Results: Uric acid levels had significant correlation with osteocalcin & alkaline phosphatase. However, no correlation could be found between uric acid and CrossLaps. The correlation between uric acid & osteocalcin (r= 0.25, P=0.0001) & alkaline phosphatase(r=0.12, P=0.019) remained after adjustment with age, BMI & hsCRP. Conclusion: Serum uric acid had a positive and significant correlation with osteoblastic born turnover markers. Hence, the role of uric acid in osteoblastic function should be investigated. 626 Musculoskeletal System The Predictive role of omentin-1, visfatin and adiponectin in osteoporosis-associated bone loss in postmenopausal women: a prospective cohort study Karimi Fariba p Aminfar Elnaz Darabi Hussain Kalantar hormozi Mohammadreza Akbarzadeh Samad Vahdat Katayon Ostovar Afshin Assadi Majid nabipour Iraj p The Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IRAN The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN The Persian Gulf Tropical Medicine Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN The Persian Gulf Nuclear Medicine Research Center, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr , IRAN The Persian Gulf Marine Biotechnology Research Center, Bushehr university of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1100 1112 01 09 2014 08 10 2014 Background: There is conflicting evidence regarding adipocytokines in relation to bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporotic fractures in women and men. Recently, we found that circulating omentin-1 levels had an inverse correlation with BMD at the lumbar spine in postmenopausal women. The main aim of this study was to investigate the predictive role of adipocytokines for bone loss and incident osteoporosis among postmenopausal women after a 5.8- year follow-up. Material and methods: A total of 382 healthy postmenopausal women who participated in a prospective cohort study were followed for 5.8 years. Omentin-1, visfatin, adiponectin, and the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were measured by highly specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. BMD was determined for the lumbar spine (L2–L4) and the proximal femur using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The femoral neck and lumbar spine bone loss at the 5.8-year follow-up were 1.0% and 3.4% per year.In logistic regression analysis, none of the studied adipocytokines predicted BMD at any skeletal sites or incident osteoporosis at the femoral neck or lumbar area after 5.8 year follow-up. However, RANKL levels predicted BMD at the lumbar spine (β=−0.19, p=0.003) and femoral neck (β=-0.341, p=0.018) after controlling for body mass index. Conclusion: Serum levels of omentin-1, visfatin and adiponectin did not predict bone loss and incident osteoporosis among postmenopausal women. 627 Radiology. Diagnostic Imaging Optimization of the geometry and composition of a neutron system for treatment by Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Gheisari Rohollah Firoozabadi Mohmmadmehdi Mohammadi Habib Physics Department, Faculty of Science, Persian Gulf University, Bushehr, IRAN Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Birjand University, Birjand, IRAN Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Birjand University, Birjand, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1113 1119 16 07 2013 02 11 2013 Background: In the field of the treatment by Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), an optimized neutron system was proposed. This study (simulation) was conducted to optimize the geometry and composition of neutron system and increase the epithermal neutron flux for the treatment of deep tumors is performed. Materials and Methods: A neutron system for BNCT was proposed. The system included 252Cf neutron source, neutron moderator/reflector arrangement, filter and concrete. To capture fast neutrons, different neutron filters Fe, Pb, Ni and PbF2 with various thicknesses were simulated and studied. Li (with 1 mm thick) was used for filtering of thermal neutrons. Bi with thickness of 1 cm was used to minimize the intensity of gamma rays. Monte Carlo simulation code MCNPX 2.4.0 was used for design of the neutron system and calculation of the neutron components at the output port of the system. Results: For different thicknesses of the filters, the fast neutron flux, the epithermal and thermal flux were calculated at the output port of the system. The spatial distribution of the fast neutron flux, the epithermal flux and gamma flux in human head phantom with the presence of 40 ppm of 10B were obtained. The present calculations showed that Pb filter (about 1 cm) at the output port is suitable for fast neutron capture. The thickness of Li filter was determined due to its high absorption cross-section in thermal region. Bi was used as a gamma filter by the reason of it is good for shielding gamma rays, while having high transmission epithermal neutrons. Conclusion: The epithermal neutron flux has enhanced about 38 percent at the output port of the present system, compared with recent system proposed by Ghassoun et al. At 2 cm depth inside the head phantom, the neutron flux reaches a maximum value about . At this depth, the ratio of the thermal neutron flux to the epithermal flux is about three times, that suggests such a neutron system to treat tumors in the proximity of the depth. In the presence of 10B in the brain, at 2 cm depth the neutron absorption takes place more than other areas of the brain, and consequently the thermal flux is depressed uniformly in the head phantom. Due to high LET and RBE of alpha and 7Li particles (obtained by reaction of boron-neutron), the tumor at the mentioned depth is damaged rather than the around. 628 Nervous System Study of the effect of GABAA receptore and glial inhibition on behavioral responses in CCI model of neuropathic pain in rat Sadeghi Mehi Manaheji Homa Haghparast Abbad Zaringhalam Jalal Nazemi Samad Bahari Zahra Department of physiology, School of Medicine, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN<br> Department of Neurophysiology, School of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRAN Neuroscice Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRAN<br> Department of Neurophysiology, School of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRAN Neuroscice Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRAN Neuroscice Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRAN<br> Department of Neurophysiology, School of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRAN Department of physiology, School of Medicine, Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, Sabzevar, IRAN Department of Neurophysiology, School of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1120 1134 26 05 2013 23 06 2013 Background: The mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain are complex and remain controversial. From the proposed mechanisms we can refer to loss of GABAergic inhibition and glial activation in the spinal dorsal horn. As for the discrepancies in the neuropathic pain mechanisms, in the present study, we examined whether the GABA-A receptor agonist muscimol and glial inhibitor pentoxifylline would modify behavioral tests in rats with Chronic Constriction Injury (CCI). Material and Methods: In this study male wistar rats (200-250 g) were used and for neuropathy induction, the CCI model (Bennett method, 1988) was used. In the sham group, after exposing the sciatic nerve, surgery region was closed. Pentoxifylline was administered one day before neuropathy to 14 days after CCI (30 mg/kg daily) and behavioral tests (plantar test and von frey) were performed one day before surgery and then on days 1, 4, 7 and 14 after surgery and 30 minutes after pentoxifylline adminstration .In groups that received muscimol with doses 0.5, 1 and 2 mg/kg on day 14 after CCI, behavioral tests were experienced before and 30 minutes after drug administration. Results: Behavioral assessment indicated that CCI induce symptoms of neuropathic pain but both muscimol and pentoxifylline could reduce pain behavioral responses. It seems that this reduction of muscimol (1 and 2 mg/kg) was more effective in thermal hyperalgesia than pentoxifylline, and for pentoxifylline (30 mg/kg) was more effective in mechanical allodynia than muscimol. Conclusion: present data showed that muscimol via activation of GABA-A receptors and pentoxifylline via glial inhibition reduced behavioral symptoms of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. 629 Biochemistry.

Due to this ability, MSCs appear to be an attractive tool in the context of tissue engineering and cell-based therapy. Currently, bone marrow represents the main source of MSCs for both experimental and clinical studies. The purpose of this study was isolation and quantitative comparison of mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical vein. Materials and Methods: In this study, 35 samples of umbilical cord of healthy full- term newborn were studied. Results: The cells had fibroblastoid like appearance and had revealed the potential to differentiate into three linage of bone, Adipose and cartilage. Surface markers for mesenchymal nature were their demonstratives. Conclusion: Based on our findings the mesenchymal stem cells, from umbilical vein wall can be isolated, cultured and differentiated into three categories of bone, cartilage and adipose. 630 Public Health Factors affecting inter-birth in rural areas of Zarrindasht (Fars province) Zare Najaf Soltani Mojtaba Sayadi Mehrab Rajaeefard Abdolreza Department of Biostatistics, Infertility Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IRAN Department of Biostatistics, Medical School, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IRAN Department of Biostatistics, Medical School, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IRAN Department of Epidemiology, School of Health, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1143 1152 28 09 2011 30 06 2013 Background: Proper time intervals among pregnancies has a major role in family provision. Investigating the dynamism of the birth spacing, identify factors and their effects on the time interval among pregnancies and determination of optimal spacing is the utmost importance for health planners and families. The purpose was to study the abortion and stillbirth due to short inter-birth spacing, factors affecting inter-births and optimal birth spacing. Material and Methods: In 2005, a cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of 1064 women of childbearing age in Fars province by multistage random sampling. Information on reproductive history was collected by resident health workers. Variables affecting inter-births were checked by the frailty recurrent events model using S-plus 2000 and SPSS 13 software. Results: The rate of abortion or stillbirth was 1.7%, which fell with increasing interval between births and reached their lowest (1.9%) at 36-48 months. Mother's level of education, duration of breastfeeding of previous infant, maternal age at birth and father's job showed positive correlation with inter-birth. Mother's age at marriage, having a job other than household, socioeconomic status was negatively correlated with the the time interval to the next delivery. With increasing birth order, inter-birth of each delivery with regard to previous delivery increased on average by one to two months. Conclusion: The risk of abortion and stillbirth were observed more in subsequent delivery with very low or very long gap interval. 631 Microbiology and Immunology Study of ethA gene sequence in Ethionamide resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Moazemi Somaye Arjomandzadegan Mohammad Ahmadi Azam Tayebun Maryam Shojapor Mana Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Islamic Azad University of Arak, Arak, IRAN Department of microbiology, Tuberculosis and Pediatric Infectious Disease Research Center , Arak University of Medical Sciences,Arak, IRAN Tuberculosis and Pediatric Infectious Disease Research Center, Arak, Department of Molecular Genetics, Faculty of Biological Science, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, IRAN Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Islamic Azad University of Arak, Arak, IRAN Research Center of Molecular Medicine, University of Medical Sciences, Arak, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1153 1159 28 04 2013 03 09 2013 Background: Ethionamide (ETH) is a structural analog of isoniazid and secondary line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Both of Ethionamide and isoniazid target INHA protein in mycobacterium tuberculosis. This protein involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis. The purpose of this study is evaluation of sequence of ethA gene in order to detect mutations related to resistance to isoniazide in clinical mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. Material and Methods: In this study were evaluated 27 resistance and sensitive isolates to ethionamide. Because of length of this fragment (1470bp) were performed three reactions for each sample with ethA-10, ethA-8, ethA-9, ethA-4, ethA-5 and ethA-1 specific primers in PCR reaction. Results: From 27 used clinical isolates, 23 strains were resistant and 4 isolates were susceptible to ETH. Results of electrophoresis were proved proper selection of primers and PCR conditions. DNA sequencing results were determined mutations at some points of the gene in the resistant isolates to ETH, but none of susceptible strains harbored mutations. Conclusion: According to the results it was proved that any mutations in each point of ethA gene could cause resistance to Ethionamid. Rapid molecular detection of the resistance is possible only via complete sequencing of total length of this gene. 632 Biochemistry.

Materials and Methods: Mono-arthritis was induced by CFA and inflammatory symptoms (hyperalgesia and edema) were assessed on 0, 3, 7, 14th and 21st days of study. Anti-IL10 was administered during the 21 days of study in different experimental groups. mOR expression were detected by western blotting on 0, 3,7, 14th and 21st days of study. Data was analyzed by SPSS statistical software version 19 with using one way ANOVA (post hoc Tokey's). Results: Our results showed that anti-IL10 administration in AA group (Adjuvant Arthritis) caused an increase in the paw volume and hyperalgesia until 21st of study. Our study stated that there were no significant differences in spinal mOR expression between AA and AA+anti-IL10rats. Conclusion: Our study confirmed that anti-IL10administration caused to hyperalgesia and edema during AA inflammation. Also these findings suggested that mOR expression increased in chronic phase of AA inflammation, however an increase in the level of spinal mu opioid receptor (mOR) expression during AA inflammation is not mediated directly via the effect of serum IL-10. 635 Biochemistry.

This research was aimed to evaluate relationship between the endometrial thickness with serum estradiol and progesterone levels in patients visited in Ob&Gyn clinic of Shahid Sadoughi hospital. Material and Methods: Enrolled in the study were 440 patients visited in Ob&Gyn clinic of Shahid Sadoughi hospital between Jan. 2011 to Sep. 2012. Only patients with regular menstrual cycle were included in study. Patients with myoma, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps or other uterine anomaly, those who smoked, women with BMI greater than 30 and who were taking medications that could affect endometrial thickness were excluded. Endometrial thickness one day before and 5-7 days after ovulation was measured by using trans-vaginal ultrasonography. Also, serum estradiol and progesterone levels were measured in 5-7 days after ovulation. Data analysis was done through SPSS version 16 with using descriptive statistics and ANOVA. Results: The mean age of patients was 27.37±4.44. Endometrial thicknesses were 9.80±0.80 and 10.13±1. one day before and 5-7 days after ovulution, respectively. 5% of patients had thin endometrium (<7 mm) in two measurements. Serum estradiol and progesterone levels were respectively 169.88±17.64 pg/ml and 7.32±6.93 mg/ml. There were no significant association between endometrial thickness and age, and also endometrial thickness and progesterone level. The same relation between endometrial thickness and estradiol serum level was observed only in age group of <20 years. (P=0.000) Conclusion: The results showed that serum stradiol and progesterone levels can not be the determinants of endometrial thickness in women. 639 Public Health Evaluation of physical, chemical and microbial quality of distribution network drinkingwater in Bushehr, Iran Shabankareh fard Elham Hayati Roqayeh Dobaradaran Sina Department of Environmental Health Engineering, Faculty of Health, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN Department of Environmental Health Engineering, Faculty of Health, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, IRAN Systems Environmental Health, Oil, Gas and Energy Research Center, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN<br> The Persian Gulf Marine Biotechnology Research Center, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN<br> Department of Environmental Health Engineering, Faculty of Health, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1223 1235 20 06 2014 26 08 2014 Background: The physical, chemical and microbial properties of water are the criteria to consider it as drinking water quality.

Physical and chemical analyses were done according to standard methods. Multiple tube fermentation method was used to determine fecal and total coliform bacteria and spread plate method was used to measure heterotrophic bacteria. Results: The mean values of measured parameters were as follow: electrical conductivity 1155.5 µs/cm, turbidity 0.27 NTU, pH 7.12, alkalinity 171.5, total hardness 458.96, calcium hardness 390.96, magnesium hardness 68 mg/L as CaCO3, calcium 156.38, magnesium 16.95, residual chlorine 0.61, chloride 83.26, TDS 577.7, iron 0.115, fluoride 0.48, phosphate 0.059, nitrate 3.08, nitrite 0.003 and sulphate 728.38 mg/L. Total coliform (0), fecal coliform (0) MPN/100 ml and HPC 309.8 CFU/mL. Except TDS and sulphate, all cited results met the national and EPA standards. Conclusion: Quality of water from distribution network in Bushehr was not problematical from health point of view. However, high TDS and sulphate content may increase diarrhea risk in consumer as well as corrosive effect of water. 640 Public Health Application of the basic constructs of social cognitive theory for predicting mental health in student of Bushehr University Medical Sciences 2012-13 Jamali Makyea Noroozi Azita Tahmasebi Rahim Department of Health, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN Department of Health, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN Department of Health promotion, The Persian Gulf Marine Biotechnology Research Center, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN<br> Department of Health, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, IRAN 1 1 2015 17 6 1236 1251 11 05 2013 23 06 2013 Background: mental health is one of the health assessment topics in different communities which plays an important role in ensuring the dynamism and efficiency, especially in the students. Thus, the aim of this study is to application of basic constructs of social cognitive theory for predicting mental health in student of Bushehr University Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This cross– sectional study was conducted with using a systematic random sampling method in 428 students of Bushehr University Medical Sciences in 2012-13. Information was collected by using five standard questionnaires including academic self efficacy, academic stress, multidimensional social support, student outcome expectancy and Quality of life (SF-36) scales. After data collection, all data was analyzed by SPSS statistical software with using Pearson correlation coefficient test and multiple linear regressions. Results: In this study, mental health had a significant correlation with social support (P =0.000, r=0.37), academic stress (P= 0.000, r= -0.45) and academic self-efficacy (P =0.000 , r =0. 24). In the liner regression model, predictor factors of mental health were faculty type and curriculum counseling and noncurriculum counseling evaluation variables and self efficacy (P=0.031, B= 1.49), academic stress (P=0.000, B=- 4.35), and social support constructs (P=0.000, B =4.77). Also, gender, mother's education and father's job had indirect effects to mental health through social support and acceptance quota and curriculum counseling evaluation had indirect effects to mental health through self efficacy. Conclusion: Utilization of strategies to increase self- efficacy, creating social support environment and also stress reduction particularly with organization of curriculum and non-curriculum counseling sessions can promote mental health in students. 641 General Medicine.

Although, education and management for a logical continuation of breast feeding is crucial. The present study compared the effectiveness of multimedia and routine educations on exclusive breast feeding in children less than six months of exclusive breast feeding was done. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 169 Gravid 1 women covered by health care systems were chosen via random sampling casually in the control and case groups (77 and 92 individuals, respectively). The intervention group completed 32 weeks of gestation to 6 months after delivery through the implementation of multimedia training programs about breast feeding (slide, educational videos, lecturing and pamphlets) were used for training and advice. While the control group was taught by conventional health centers (providing user instruction). Information required by valid and reliable questionnaires were collected. The data collected by SPSS 11.5 software using descriptive statistics (mean, SD)and analytical statistics (mann Whitney and χ2) were analyzed. In all cases p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The results showed in no significant differences between the two groups in terms of duration of exclusive breast feeding in follow up visits. But in the intervention group, breast feeding difficulties such as insufficient milk, filled milky, wrong position and breast problems such as breast sore and mastitis were significantly reduced compared to the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Education provided by health centers in Bushehr as well as multimedia training on exclusive breast feeding was effective however, multimedia education in reducing common problems of breast feeding educationis preferred which is better for health centers to train more emphasis on correction position for breast feeding.
