Abstract
The association of HLA and disease varies in different populations. We have
. studied the association of HLA class I in Iranian psoriatic patients, in order to
compare this association with other reports. Fifty-one Iranian patients with
psoriasis were HLA typed. The frequency of HLA antigens in patients and patient
subgroups, based on clinical patterns, age of onset, family history and provocative
factors, were compared with each other and with normal controls. The results
indicate that the disease is strongly associated with HLA-Cw6 (chi-square,
corrected P-value (Pc)≤0.0009), and negatively associated with Cw3 (Pc≤
0.00009 and Pc≤ 0.03, respectively). Psoriatic patients with early onset disease
and non-pustular psoriasis (NPP) showed a more significant association with
HLA-Cw6 (Pc≤ 0.0004 and Pc≤ 0.0003, respectively). There was no statistically
significant relationship between the presence of a positive family history and early
onset of disease.

Abstract
The purpose of the study is to show in which trimester of pregnancy is fatigue
more common among working women, and whether or not there is any
relationship between fatigue rate and educational level, income, etc.
This is a longitudinal study. From the total number of patients who came to
Zeinab University Hospital, 100 completed a demographics 50 item questionnaire
and the numerical rating scale fatigue (NRS-F) was obtained. I Of those,
only 35 patients were in their first trimester of pregnancy and qualified for the
study and filled the questionnaire again at 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
The fatigue rate was higher in the first than the two other trimesters of pregnancy
(f=126.78, p<0.001). In unwanted pregnancies with no moral support b y
the husband or other family members, the fatigue rate was not significant. There
is a relationship between fatigue rate and the education level of these women
(f=8.569, p=0.001) and income (f=10.72, p<0.001). When medical instructions
had to be given to a patient to do less work or rest at home, the fatigue rate was
significantly higher than those who did not (f=17.34, p<0.001).
In conclusion, it appears that health personel working with childbearing populations
should counsel women about significant 1st trimester fatigue so they can
prepare their work and home environments in an attempt to achieve adequate
rest.

Abstract
Background: Breakfast is the most important daily meal, but neglected more than other meals by children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention, based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to increase breakfast consumption among school children in Bandar Abbas, Iran.
Methods: In this quasi experimental study which was conducted in 2012, 88 students of four secondary schools in Bandar Abbas, south of Iran, were enrolled. Multi-stage cluster sampling was performed with random allocation of interventional and control groups. The study tool was a questionnaire which was filled by the students before and two months after the educational intervention. For data analysis, statistical tests including paired-samples t-test, independent samples t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann-Whitney test were used through SPSS v.18 software.
Results: The result of the study showed that application of TRA significantly increased scores of behavior of breakfast consumption (p<0.01). After the intervention, a significant increase was revealed in all nutrition intakes, except for fat and sugar (p<0.01).
Conclusion: The findings support application of the TRA in improving the intention and behavior of breakfast consumption. Applying this theory for designing interventions to increase breakfast eating is recommended.

Abstract
Background: GD2 synthase (GD2S) is the key enzyme required for ganglioside GD2 synthesis. It is commonly expressed in normal tissues and various cancers. Ganglioside GD2 is identified as a breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) marker that promotes tumorigenesis. As GD2S has been found to be a useful molecular marker in neuroblastoma and retinoblastoma tumors, we suggest that it can be considered as a suitable candidate for the detection of CSCs in breast cancer tissues.
Methods: Expression of GD2S was examined in 65 breast tumors compared to adjacent normal tissues, applying quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The association between GD2S expression level and patients’ clinical characteristics was also assessed.
Results: Our findings showed that GD2S mRNA expression was significantly higher in breast cancer tissues in comparison to normal adjacent tissue samples (4.92-fold change, p<0.001) in advanced grades (p<0.001) and stages (p<0.001). It was also shown that GD2S protein expression was significantly higher in breast cancer tissues in comparison to normal adjacent tissues (4.86-fold change, p=0.010) in advanced grades (p=0.010), stages (p=0.005) and larger tumor size (p=0.002).
Conclusion: The current study showed that increased expression of GD2S in advanced breast cancer potentiates it as a promising tumor marker in these patients.
