RESUMEN
Introduction: Oral diseases are the most common diseases in the world, and among them, tooth decay is the most common problem. The aim of this study was to determine the effective factors on oral health-promoting behaviors among elementary school students of Baft based on BASNEF Model in 2015
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 200 elementary school students who were selected using multistage random sampling method. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire including 62 questions consisted of two parts: demographic information and constructs of BASNEF model [attitude, subjective norms, behavioral intention, enabling factors, and behaviors]. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16
Results: Score of oral health-promoting behaviors in 74% of the students was moderate and in 20% of the students was good. Statistically significant relationship was observed between oral health-promoting behaviors of the students and class grades [P=0.004], mother's education [P=0.004], father's education [P=0.034], and father's occupation [P=0.007]. Among the constructs of BASNEF model, enabling factors [beta =0.511] and then behavioral intentions [beta =0.426] were the strongest predicting factors of oral health behavior
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, enabling factors were the most effective constructs of oral health-promoting behaviors; therefore, oral health promoters are recommended to focus on this issue
RESUMEN
Various bone palliative therapeutic agents have been developed and widely used for bone metastasis such as [153]Sm-EDTMP. In this study, production, quality control and biodistribution studies of a newly developed therapeutic compound have been presented followed by imaging studies in wild-type rodents. [153]Sm-TTHMP was prepared starting from [153]Sm-SmCl[3], prepared by neutron activation of an enriched [152]Sm sample [purity >98%], and in-house synthesized TTHMP in 1h at 25[degree sign] C followed by stability tests, partition coefficient determination and biodistribution studies of in wild-type rodents using scarification and SPECT imaging. The radiolabled Sm complex was prepared in high radiochemical purity [>99%, ITLC] and specific activity of 278 GBq/mmol and demonstrated significant ability at 4, 25 and 37 [degree sign] C [in presence of human serum]. Initial biodistribution data showed significant bone accumulation of the tracer in 48h. [153]Sm-TTHMP can be a potential candidate for bone pain palliation therapy in skeletal metastases, although further biological studies in other mammals is still needed
