The present study aimed to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of combined training and L-arginine supplementation on the serum levels of intercellular and vascular adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) and nitric oxide (NO) in postmenopausal hypertensive women.\u0000Method: The postmenopausal women with hypertension were assigned into four groups consisting of 12 individuals, including placebo (P), L-arginine (L), training (T), and training+Larginine (TL) groups. The combined training program (resistance-endurance) was conducted 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. The L-arginine ingestion was 6 g daily. Blood sampling was performed at the beginning and the end of 8 weeks of intervention, and the levels of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and NO were measured. The collected data were analyzed in SPPSS software (version 24), one-way ANOVA, and Tukey post hoc test.\u0000Results: The levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in the T and TL groups compared to the P and L groups significantly decreased (P<0.05). Significant increases of NO levels in the L (P=0.003), T (P<0.001), and TL (P<0.001) groups compared to the P group, and also a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were observed in all intervention groups in comparison to the P group (P<0.05).\u0000Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, L-arginine ingestion and combined training alone or combined together are effective in the reduction of blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Moreover, L-arginine was associated with amplifying combined training effectiveness in decreasing systolic blood pressure. Blood pressure reduction in the above-mentioned groups is probably exerted partly by the upregulation of NO levels","PeriodicalId":16423,"journal":{"name":"journal of north khorasan university of medical sciences","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87214385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study examines the effect of daylight on the design of therapeutic spaces to create an effective treatment environment.

The second group of studies focuses on the role of natural light in improving patients' health (mental and physical health). The third group considers the role of natural light in improving the efficiency of medical staff and the fourth group considers the role of natural light in alleviating environmental pollution.\u0000Conclusion: Review of the related literature shows that enhanced access to daylight in medical spaces is associated with reduced energy consumption, improved efficiency of health care delivery, and shortening the length of hospital stay. Optimizing medical spaces on this basis, in addition to satisfying users, will significantly reduce the cost of health care and positively impact the economic sustainability of these spaces.","PeriodicalId":16423,"journal":{"name":"journal of north khorasan university of medical sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83517109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the importance of trust, this study was conducted to investigate demographic, economic, social, and health factors affecting trust in the elderly over 60 years old. Method: This cross-sectional study was based on the data of the second phase of the Urban Health Equity and Response Tool (Urban HERAT-2) on 5,760 elderly people. The economic status of the household was measured by principal component analysis and based on the variables of living supplies and facilities. Then, demographic and socio-economic variables such as the economic score of the household, ethnicity, occupation, education, and self-reported physical and mental health were presented in the linear regression of the explanatory model of trust using STATA software. Results: Based on the findings of this study, The living supplies and facilities explained 0.58 of the variances of the economic score of the household. Furthermore, it was observed that being married, having seasonal and permanent labor jobs, and being relatively poor was associated with a decrease in trust in the elderly and the ability to read and write, good self-reported physical health, and unchanged with an increase in trust in the elderly. The variables of age, gender, retirement, ethnicity, and mental health were not related to trust in the elderly. Conclusion: The variables such as labor jobs, low education, and poor economic status affected trust in the elderly.

This study aimed to determine the effects of methamphetamine on the diameter and thickness of seminiferous tubules of adult male rats’ main gonad.\u0000Method: Twenty adult male rats weighted 200 to 220 gr were used in the current study. They were divided into study and control groups, each consisting of 10 rats. The study group received 2 mg per body weight of methamphetamine in the first three days and 5 mg in the next four days in peritoneum. The control group, on the other hand, received 0.5 ml per rat of physiologic serum in the the peritoneum. Twenty-four hours after the last injection, the rats were killed, and the main gonad was taken out of the scrotum. After tissue passage and dying with hematoxylin and eosin, the main gonad was observed with an optic microscope, and the results were analyzed using an independent t-test. A value of P<0.05 was considered to determine the level of significance between the two groups.\u0000Results: The findings showed that using methamphetamine significantly decreases the average diameter and thickness of the epithelium of seminiferous tubules of rats. It was also found that the weight of rats and gonads decreased, but it was not statistically significant.\u0000Conclusion: The results of this study show that methamphetamine is a poisonous compound for the main gonad of male rats due to the degeneration and atrophy of seminiferous tubules","PeriodicalId":16423,"journal":{"name":"journal of north khorasan university of medical sciences","volume":"35 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76011638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
