Background and Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most prevalent liver disease in the world. Life style modification particularly physical activity is the most important treatment strategy. The purpose of the present study was to examine effect of resistance training and high intensity interval training on fatty liver biochemical indices, insulin resistance and liver fat.
Subjects and Methods: A total 22 with nonalcoholic fatty liver men enrolled and randomized to resistance training or high intensity interval training. The resistance training group performed six multi joint exercises at 65-70 % 1RM. Interval training group performed 6-12 × 60 s intervals at 80-85 % HRmax, each interval separated with 2 min active rest. Both training groups performed training three times per week. The plasma concentration of liver amino transferase enzymes, lipid profile, insulin resistance index and liver fat measured pre- and 72-h after the last training session. The paired sample T test and independent sample T test used for analysis of changes within group and between group differences, respectively.
Results: The plasma ALT concentration significantly decreased in resistance (P= 0.046) and interval (P= 0.011) training groups. The fasting insulin and insulin resistance index in both groups (P≤ 0.001). The liver fat decreased in both groups. The lipid profile significantly improved in both groups. No significant differences observed between groups in any parameter.
Conclusion: It seems that both resistance and interval training are appropriate training strategy for non-alcoholic fatty liver patent and can improve plasma ALT, lipid profile, insulin resistance and liver fat.

Background and Objective: Stuttering is a disorder in fluency of speech and is affected by different factors. According to effects of linguistic, cultural and social factors on severity of stuttering, by identifying the situations and conditions that influenced the stutterers more than others, we can identify effects of situations, control, and use them in generalization stage of treatment. The aim of the present research was exploring of the relationship between anxiety-causing special speech situations and severity of stuttering by Subjective Screening of Stuttering (SSS) in 12-35 y old persons.
Subjects and Method: The present research was a cross-sectional study involving 30 subjects aged 12-35 year who were referred to the speech therapy clinics in Isfahan. The severity of stuttering was assessed by the percentage of stuttered syllables and situations of anxiety were investigated by SSS.
Result: The overall results of the present study showed that the differences between the severities of stuttering in 3 situations of Subjective Screening of Stuttering, were not significant, but in the dual comparison between the situations, significant differences between the severity of stuttering in speaking with close friend and empower person were significant.
Conclusion: According to the results of current study, speaking with empower person was more difficult than the other situations and can influence the severity of stuttering, avoidance and control of speech.

Background and Objective: The impacted tooth is trapped tooth by an obstruction on the budding path. The existence of impacted mandibular third molar leads to increase of in the caries in the distal neck of second molar due to the contact of third molar. Subjects and Methods: This study was analytical cross-sectional study conducted from May 2014 to March 2015 among 50 patients with mandibular third molar impaction. Panoramic X-rays and Bitewing radiograph was taken to determine the impaction types and the presence or absence of the second molar caries. Chi-square test was used to investigate the relationship between the mandibular third molar impaction and mandibular second molar distal surface caries. Data were analysis by SPSS software version 18. PResults: The most common type of dental impaction was the mesioangular (34%). Distoangular and horizontal was (24%) while the vertical impaction was (18%). The degree of impaction in class II (80%) and for class III (20%) were recorded. According to the classification of Pell and Gregory, classes B was classified as the most prevalent impaction, and class A was the lowest. The prevalence of caries was reported in 52% cases. 38.48% cases of caries belonged to mesioangular impaction form which was significantly higher than other types (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our study showed that the angle of impaction (mesioangular and horizontal) and the class II had significant correlation with caries.

Background and Objective: Tooth whitening has become a popular treatment in esthtic dentistry. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare 4 different methods of bleaching including home bleaching, in-office bleaching, combination of these techniques and laser on the amount of color change in the natural teeth.
Materials and Methods: A total of 50 intact human premolers teeth of matched size were prepared and divided into 5 groups of 10 teeth. Group 1: home bleaching using 15% carbamide peroxide (CP); Group 2: In-office bleaching using 40% hydrogen peroxide; Group 3: combination of first and second methods; Group4: 40% hydrogen peroxide combined with 2 sections of 30 s of diode laser; Group 5: control (without treatment). Tooth color measurements were performed according to the CIELab system using spectrophotometer before treatment procedure and 1 week after.
Results: Comparing the different treatments showed that home bleaching and combination methods were significantly more effective (P<0.05), and the mean total ΔE was 9.80±2.02 and 9.94±1.96 respectively. This value for in-office bleaching treatment was 5.35±0.72. There was no significant difference in ΔE value between laser (4.14±1.82) and control (3.03±1.41) groups by the end of treatment (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The results suggested that the use of diode laser in not a suitable bleaching technique and did not improve the color changes. In addition, in-office bleaching did not provide effective tooth whitening. However, home bleaching and combination methods are more effective bleaching techniques.

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are a group of subunit vaccines, which due to a stronger protective immunogenicity, are distinguished from soluble recombinant antigens. Like native viruses, virus-like particles can be both enveloped and non-enveloped. They are formed from the expression of one or more viral structural proteins in a heterologous system. Depending on the complexity of the VLP, the proteins can be produced in prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression systems, or in certain cases, they can be manufactured and assembled in the cell-free conditions. Virus-like particles can be produced in a range of cell culture systems, including mammalian cell lines, insect cells, yeast, plant cells and cell-free conditions. To date, a wide range of VLP-based vaccine candidates against viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal pathogens, as well as non-infectious diseases, have been produced in various expression systems. Some of VLPs have entered clinical development and few of them have licensed and commercialized.

Background and Objective:Although cleft palate is the most common cause of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD), other disorders can also cause hypernasality and/or nasal emission. Velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) is one of the VPD. VPI is usually associated with a cleft palate but it can occur without a cleft palate. Congenital myopathy (CM) is a muscular disorder that recognizes early onset of the disease, muscle weakness, hypotonia and delayed motor development. Yet do not specify the effect of VPI due to CM, on speech. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of VPI as one of the main clinical manifestations in a patient with a congenital myopathy. Case presentation: The patient was a four years old female. There was no family history of cleft palate or lip. The only complaint of the family was unclear speech and her hypernasality. After perceptual assessment and diagnosis of severe hypernasality, endoscopy was performed. Endoscopy showed that in the absence of structural abnormalities, soft palate and pharynx walls were moveless. there was a medium gap too. Discussion: Patient speech errors in high-pressure consonants, were severe hypernasality, posterior-nasal fricative and nasal emission. These errors are special features of cleft palate, but in device evaluation, she had no obvious or even submucosal cleft palate. With reference to the neurologist, specify the VPI symptoms, resulting from congenital myopathy. The report emphasizes the need to suspect to a neuromuscular disease when a VPI is diagnosed and there is no evidence of an upper abdominal ulcer and abdominal endoscopic cleft.

Background and Objective: Preeclampsia is a multiple system disorder characterized by blood pressure and protein deficiency in the second half of pregnancy. Several factors, such as genetic and environmental factors, are involved in the onset of this disorder. Considering the results from a survey conducted and the possibility of increased risk of thyroid disorders in mothers with preeclampsia, this study evaluated the level of thyroid dysfunction in patients with preeclampsia. Subjects and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study which was conducted on 79 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and 79 healthy pregnant women admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz. Sampling was performed using a sequential non-probability sampling method. At the end of the study, data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and percentage) and analytical statistics (independent T-test) or its nonparametric equivalent methods. Results: The mean age of the patient group was 28.4 ± 6.5 y and in the healthy group was 29.3 ±6 y. The mean of gestational age in the patient group was 258.8 ± 22.3 y and 254.5 ± 22.7 y in the healthy group. Analysis shows that there was no significant difference between the levels of thyroid hormones in both groups. Statistical analysis showed patients with normal pregnancy and pre-eclampsia had significantly higher anti-TPO than healthy group (P<0.001). Conclusion: According to these results, the incidence of preeclampsia can exacerbate the level of thyroid disorders, but this does not seem to be statistically significant. Therefore, mothers who are at risk for preeclampsia should be monitored for thyroid function and should be treated appropriately if necessary, to prevent the exacerbation of this dangerous condition.
