In these women، the production and secretion of estrogen hormone is not done properly. Such a situation causes irregular or interrupted periods، disturbances in the ovulation process and occurrence of menopausal symptoms. Premature ovarian failure makes it difficult for women to get pregnant، so more research in this field is necessary.
 Conclusion: The results showed that one of the recommended ways to repair and regenerate the failing ovarian tissue was the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The positive effects of PRP were dependent on the high concentration of growth factors in the alpha granules of platelets. The results of this review article showed that the use of platelet-rich plasma in restoring ovarian function could be considered as a treatment method in these patients.

 Methods: In this experimental study, 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: 1) Control, 2) Training and 3) Training + Testosterone. Rats in groups 2 and 3 performed resistance training five sessions a week for eight weeks. Moreover, group 3 received 20 mg/kg of testosterone enanthate intramuscularly three days a week. The activity levels of Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were measured by spectrophotometric method and the gene expression of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were measured by Real Time PCR method. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 software. To analyze the findings, To analyze the findings, one-way analysis of variance was used (P≥0.05).
 Results: Resistance training caused a significant decrease in GPx activity (P=0.001) compared to the control group. IL-6 gene expression in the training + testosterone group was significantly more than the training group (P=0.04) and the control group (P=0.001). Training + testosterone caused a significant increase in TNF-α gene expression compared to the training group (P=0.02) and the control group (P=0.008). Furthermore, the level of GPx activity in the training + testosterone group was significantly lower than the control group (P=0.001), but no significant difference was observed in the training + testosterone groups and the training group (P=0.93).
 Conclusion: It seems that testosterone abuse along with intense resistance training is associated with a decrease in the function of the antioxidant system and increase in inflammatory markers in the kidney tissue.","PeriodicalId":17084,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134960129","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}

Self-Injury plays an important role in the treatment, prognosis and risk of suicide, which highlights the need for an appropriate tool to assess the nature and psychological functions of NSSI. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Ottawa Self-Injury inventory (OSI) in hospitalized patients.
 Methods: The present study was a psychometric study based on analytical method. The research has been performed on 310 patients with non-suicidal self-injury who have been referred to Nekoei-Hedayati Hospital in Qom City. Sample group completed Persian version of the Ottawa Self-Injury inventory. Data were analyzed using SPSS-16 and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR).
 Results: The results showed that content validity index in this study was more than 0.75 and content validity ratio for validity of questions was more than 0.79. The impact score of all items (Except for the tenth question) was higher than 1.5 that confirmed the face validity of inventory. The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated 0.71. Another result of this study was that 52% of patients reported at least one addictive characteristic.
