[Effect of eight weeks aerobic trainingon serum lipid and lipoprotein levels in women]

Cardiovascular diseases are the most significant factors leading to death. This study was done to determine the effect of eight weeks aerobic training on level serum lipid and lipoprotein in non athletic women. This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 30 non athletic women. Subjects were devided into control and experimental groups through gained Vo[2]max. HDL-c, total cholesterol [TC], LDL-c, VLDL-c, RF [TC/HCL] and subdermal fat percent were evaluted perior and after training for eight weeks as follow: three session in each weeks with one hour aerobic training in each session. Data analyzed using SPSS-14 and independent and dependent T student tests. The significant reduction of RF, TC and percent of subdermal fat were observed in experimental group after training in comparison with prieor phase [P<0.05]. Significant reduction of RF, LDL-C, TC and subdermal fat were observed in experimental group in comparison with contols after training [P<0.05]. The increase of HDL-c and reduction of TG and VLDL-c were observed in experimental group compared to control but these differences were not significant. This study showed that aerobic training reduce total cholesterol, LDL-c, RF and percent of subdermal fat in non athletic women

[Investigating the relationship between workaholic and dimensions of general health in the employees of an organization in Isfahan]

Investigating the relationship between workaholic and dimensions of general health [Depression, Anxiety and sleep disorders, psychosomatic disorders and disability in social relationship]. Participants in the study were 100 employees who completed the General Health Questionnaire [GHQ] and Work Addiction Risk Test [WART]. For analyzing the data, Pearson and Canonical correlations and stepwise regression were used. Findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between workaholic and three of four dimensions of general health, namely anxiety and sleep disorders, depression and psychosomatic disorder [p<0.01] but there was no significant relation between Social react disorder. In addition findings showed that increases in workaholics predicted general health decrease. The current study shows that work can be a reason of diseases if employees get addicted to it. Thus organizations should pay more attention to this fact that working hard in work place, is not always beneficial for individuals and organization both. So managers have to consider ways to prevent these dangerous consequences which can be harmful for their employee's health

[ power of predicting perceived parenting styles and demographic variables on girl student's loneliness feeling]

Loneliness feeling is an unpleasant status, negative emotional response and perceived dissatisfaction with one's social relationships. This distressing and unpleasant experience can be lead to cognitive, emotional and behavioral maladjustments in adolescent stage. There is some evidence that parenting styles are related to social competences of children and adolescents. According to this, some pervious researchers focus on parenting styles [authoritative, authoritarian and permissive] for predicting loneliness feeling in young people. On the other hand, based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological approach, some research has shown that family contexts [socioeconomic status, family education and child sex] are important for understanding social development and loneliness feeling. Based on interactional model, the present study tries to clarify the power of different dimensions of perceived parenting styles and demographic variables in predicting of loneliness feeling for girl student adolescents. Method of present study was correlational and stepwise multiple regression model. Using multi-stage sampling, the sample volume estimated [n=416], according to Krejcie and Morgan formula. Three questioners, Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire, Differential loneliness scale and demographics were used for gathering of data. results based on stepwise multiple regressions revealed that three stage, were the most significant for predicting of dependent variable [loneliness feeling]. In the first stage, connection dimension of authoritative parenting style [warms and support] was strongly correlated with criterion variable[R=0.534, R[2]=0.385, F=0.000]. In the second stage, two components [connection and autonomy] of authoritative parenting style could predict significantly loneliness feeling [R=0.556, R[2]=0.39, F=0.000]. Finally, in the third stage, three variables [connection, autonomy and socioeconomic status] were the most for prediction of independent variable[R=0.563, R[2]=0.317, F=0.000]. According to the results, authoritative parenting style, especially connection and autonomy dimensions; and socioeconomic status can decrease loneliness feeling in girl students. These implications should be considered by mental health organizations, parents and clinical consulters

investigation on supportive resources and coping styles with stressors in university students

Students' life as a new situation may predispose many stressors for them. Social norms, new friends and living far from family and new expectation of them, are factors that distort their adjustment and make them using many coping styles such as problem-centered and emotional-centered for new adaptation. Meanwhile, there are many supportive systems as family, friends and significant others that help them in coping. The present article tries to study the perceived stress, coping styles and supportive resources in students. Present research is a survey one. Using multi-stage sampling, the sample volume estimated about 340 according to krejcie and Morgan formula. Three questionnaires were used for data gathering; Sarafino daily hassles questionnaire, Moss and Belings coping styles questionnaire and multidimensional perceived social support. Results showed no significant relationship between stress and problem-centered coping but significant with emotional-centered style [P<0/05]. Moreover there were no difference between males and females in problem-centered style but significance in emotional centered [P<0/05] and there were significant relationship between stress with total social support and family support [P<0/05] and with significant others [P<0/01]. Sex differences in social support was significant at [P<0/05] and in significant others support [P<0/01]. There was no relationship in other variables. According to results, and vital role of coping styles with stress for making psychosocial adaptation of people, it is necessary for families as the first educational center to have more supporting role in teaching coping styles for better adaptation of their children

Correlation between HLA system and primary vesicoureteral reflux

The polygenic mode for inheritance of Vesicoureteral Reflux [VUR] is a debutable issue. Our study is aimed to investigate the correlation between HLA system and VUR. Materials: The study included thirty patients with VUR and sixty patients from kidney donors as control group. Initially the HLA formulas of each patient were detected according to racial-geographical distribution as well as common and specific antigens. Then, the Relative Risk [RR] for the class I antigens of the HLA system was calculated and the X2 statistical test was performed for the antigens with RR>1 to establish a significant association between HLA system and VUR. Result: Increased frequency of the genes HLA-A9, HLA-B44 were characterized by statistical analysis [RR>1, X2>3.84]. Therefore, the significant correlation was found between VUR and HLA system [P<0.05]. There are significant correlation between VUR and HLA-A9 and HLA-B44. However, more study is necessary so that these genes may become markers for VUR
