One of the most fundamental problems of societies is the phenomenon of crimes and offenses that arises as a result of social problems such as poverty, unemployment, economic and social crises, changes in laws and social patterns, weakening of religious beliefs and in general imbalance in the social order. Committing drug crimes is also affected by social factors, so it is very important to investigate such factors and provide ways to prevent them. The purpose of this research is the criminological explanation of drug-related crimes and social factors affecting crime in Isfahan province.

This research was conducted as a survey research and its statistical population is among the prisoners of Isfahan province, 135 prisoners, both men and women, were available to fill the questionnaire. Specifically, 85 questionnaires were distributed to Isfahan Central Prison (Dastgerd) for men and 50 questionnaires were also delivered to women's prison. In order to clarify the subject of the research, after completing the questionnaires among the statistical population, information was entered and then the data was analyzed through the software, and the results of the questionnaires and hypotheses were analyzed using statistical tests of correlation and analysis of variance.

 In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.

The results showed that the majority of drug offenders in Isfahan province grew up in poor families with moderate to low economic and social status. Also, the majority of criminals had friends with a history of drug crimes, and so the majority of them lived on the outskirts of cities and villages, and their access to drugs was high.

Social factors such as poor family, bad friends and living on the outskirts of the city and easy access to drugs play an important role in the tendency of people to commit drug crimes. It is necessary with the efforts of the government (to support vulnerable families), and special attention to parents (educating them to socialize their children and proper control over their children's association with others) and the cooperation of educational and cultural officials and the mass media to prevent the occurrence of such crimes in the society.

Various studies proposed virus infection is to be a possible cause of human breast cancer. However, the data argue the association between virus and cancer are inconsistent. This study was conducted to detect whether HPV-DNA is present in tissue samples of breast cancer in Isfahan province.

Paraffin embedded formalin fixed specimens were prepared from 40 breast tumor and 20 healthy tissues in women with breast cancer from Isfahan province. After DNA extraction and amplification of beta-actin housekeeping gene for evaluation of DNA purity, all DNA samples with appropriate purity were examined for detection of DNA-HPV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using virus specific primers. Data was analyzed with Cramer test using SPSS16.0 software.

Presence of DNA-HPV 16 in 3 out of 40 cases (5.7%) and DNA-HPV18 in 8 out of 40 (20%) cases of breast cancer samples was observed and DNA-HPV18. DNA-HPV 16 and 18 were detected in none of the 20 control samples. Statistically, Cramerʹs index for HPV16 infection was 0.197 and Sig=0.077 in cancer samples, and Cramerʹs index for HPV18 infection was 0.333 and Sig=0.003 in cancer samples.

Therefore, in Isfahan province, HPV18 is meaningful associated with breast cancer in women and HPV16 is not meaningful associated with breast cancer in women. Further studies in other regions are needed to clarify the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms behind the association of HPV16, 18 infection and breast cancer

The study of the health status in different regions of Iran is a basic step toward the optimal allocation of health resources to different regions. This study tried to determine the enjoyment level and equality in the distribution of health facilities in the counties of Isfahan province during the 5th development plan of Iran.

First, the enjoyment level of Isfahan counties was determined using the TOPSIS method. Then, the distribution of health facilities was evaluated for 23 counties during 2011 - 2015. The data used in this study were obtained from the statistical yearbook of Isfahan.

The counties of Isfahan province were not homogenous in terms of enjoyment level. The overall trend of the Gini coefficient was upward during the study period. The inequality in the distribution of health facilities increased by 38% from the beginning year of the plan to the last year of the study period so that the Gini coefficient was 0.255 in the first year of the plan and 0.353 in 2015.

The increased inequality in the distribution of health facilities indicated that the welfare of less-favored counties decreased compared to more developed counties during the fifth development plan. Hence, due to the intensification of inequality, especially in the final year of the plan, compensation for these inequalities can be put on the agenda of provincial health planners.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. Although the etiology of breast carcinoma is not completely understood, exposure to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is suggested as a risk factor for breast cancer. Studies have reported since 1995 that EBV is involved in the development of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of EBV in patients with breast cancer in Isfahan province.

This study was performed using 40 paraffin-embedded tumor tissues and 40 tumor-free breast tissues from women with breast cancer in Isfahan province. After extraction of the DNA using salting-out method and the amplification of housekeeping gene beta- actin, all samples were examined for EBV DNA using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method. Data were analyzed with chi-square test using SPSS 16software.

EBV was detected by PCR in 20 out of 40 (50%) cases of breast cancer samples and 5 out of 40 (12.5%) control samples. The chi-square statistics for the analysis of EBV infection in tumor and normal samples was 0.000 indicating a significant relationship between breast cancer and EBV infection in Isfahan province.

The presence of EBV gene in a significant subset of women with breast cancer in Isfahan province shows EBVcan be one of the reasons for breast cancer, but more studies are needed to demonstrate the relationship between the virus and breast cancer

Total quality management is an approach that the organizations management addresses the improvement of processes continually with the participation of all employees and satisfaction of the applicants. However, researchers suggest feasibility, assessment, and analysis of the potential for its deployment based on researches before implementing. This applied study aims to investigate the preparedness of the Red Crescent Society in Isfahan province in order to establish a total quality management by using information from managers and staff. Data collected and analyzed by using the designed questionnaire and SPSS-25 software. Findings: Six system variables were used such as group participation and team orientation, training, responsibility and service, managerial support and physical, structural, and legal factors. After analyzing the data, it is shown that the preparedness of Red Crescent Society in Isfahan province was lower than the average level in each variable. The results showed that Red Crescent Society in Isfahan province is still not ready for deploying the total quality management. Therefore, in order to implement the total quality management, priority should be given to the structural, physical, legal, and technical factors as well as the quality of services provided.

Road traffic accidents accidents in Iran due to high frequency of their victims are the second cause of mortality. Considering the burden of road traffic accidents, it is necessary to provide a proper information setting for decision makers with analysis of current data in order to prevent and control road traffic accidents. Esfahan province is considered as one of the main roads with high traffic because of its touristic attractions and also its location in the in the country main traffic roads. Esfehan has 10 percent share of total transportation in country with daily transferring of more than 40 million ton cargo and 30 thousand passengers. Therefore, Esfahan province is considered as one of the high traffic ways in which the road accidents occur increasingly. This research is accomplished to investigate the epidemiology of fatal driving accidents in Esfahan province in 2012. In this cross-sectional study, all data of deaths following Isfahan traffic accident injuries in 2012 reported by forensic medicine organization were used. All received information first were controlled and then using Stata 11 were analyzed in terms of epidemiological variables. Relations of some effective variables on accident were also evaluated by statistical tests. Raw andage standardized incidence were 24.4 and 24.3 in 100000 person, respectively. Most of the studied subjects were male (79.98%) and between the ages of 15-44. suburbanaccident rate was also calculated based on the total number of vehicle transits in suburban roads that most of them happened in 6:00 AM and September.accoring to the location of accident 50.38% of them occurred in suburban roads. Cause of death in most of the accidents head injury (48.02). there was statistically Significant relation between crash site, vehicle type and the way of accident occurrence.
The study results indicate that accidents resulting in death most occurred in low educated males, between the ages of 15-44years and in July and September. Since more than 40 % of deaths was due to head injury, preventive measures and proper planning is necessary to decrease the deaths caused by accidents and increase the road safety especially in suburban roads.

Although aging population is a positive result of development, many negative consequences may occur if policy makers are not prepared for the related changes. Therefore, the researchers decided to determine the health status indices in Isfahan elderly for future interventions.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on 4321 individuals. The subjects were selected through random stratified multistage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Iranian Elderly Lifestyle and Health Status Questionnaire with approved reliability and validity. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test in SPSS software.
Findings: In the present study, 78.5% of the subjects had a chronic disease; 62.8%, 44.1%, and 43.6% sleep disorders, hypertension, and forgetfulness, respectively. With mean scores of 143.5 and 58 in healthy lifestyle and quality of life (QOL), respectively, men had a better health status compared with women.
Chronic diseases are prevalent among the elderly. Therefore, policy makers should pay more attention to the health demands of this age group. In addition, the lifestyle and QOL scores of the elderly was higher than average; thus, more comprehensive and detailed healthy lifestyle education and health care programs can improve their QOL and health status.

Emission of pollutants caused by natural and human activities on the environment is one of the most important issues in today's society. This study was based on laboratory studies, field and review of the literature. The aim of this study to determine the concentration of heavy metals (cadmium, copper, manganese, nickel, lead and zinc) in the sediment of Zayandehrood river sediments and comparing them at different stations and various seasons from early October 2014 until late September 2015.
ICP-AES techniques were used to determine the concentrations of heavy metals by atomic absorption spectrophotometer and then the emissions of metals evaluated with statistical software and Mueller indicator. Zayanderood basin is located in 50° 2´ to 53° 24´ east longitude and 31° 12´ to 33° 42´ north latitude.
The results showed high levels of cadmium concentration in Vahid Bridge station in the summer with the amount of 0.0081 ± 0.95, milligrams per kilogram of dry weight that is higher than Canada and New York sediment quality standard.
The results showed high levels of cadmium and further concentration of global standards for electroplating industry and agricultural activities in upstream stations. High levels of manganese and lead in Chum Bridge and Varzaneh are related to agricultural activities mainly. Generally, Vahid Bridge station has more unsuitable situation than the other stations.

The disease is more prevalent in people over 75 years and men.
According to the results obtained in this study and studies Nitrate in drinking water can cause an increased risk of gastric cancer, especially in the older people.

Unfortunately، conventional antibiotic therapies which were used for cases of food poisoning caused by Escherichia coli are costly and ineffective. This study was carried out in order to detection and investigates the antibiotic resistance pattern of Escherichia coli isolated from chicken meat distributed in Isfahan province. 220 chicken meat samples were collected from shopping centers in Isfahan province. Samples were initially cultured and genomic DNA was extracted from the typical colonies that indicate the presence of Escherichia coli and polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis and detection of genes encoding resistance to antibiotics was used. Finally، the antibiotic resistance pattern was studied using the simple disk diffusion method. Totally، 20. 45% of samples were contaminated with Escherichia coli. Bacterial isolates has the highest antibiotic resistance to gentamicin (84. 44%)، ampicilin (80%)، ciprofloxacin (77. 77%)، enrofloxacin (66. 66%) and erythromycin (22. 62%). The genes encoding resistance against gentamicin (aac(3) -IV)، sulfonamide (sul1) and ampicillin (CITM) with incidence rate of 88. 88%، 86. 66% and 84. 44% had the highest frequencies، respectively. Despite the high contamination rate of chicken meat with Escherichia coli، majority of isolates had high resistance to common antibiotics. Complete cooking of meat and avoid indiscriminate prescribing of antibiotics، preventing the occurrence of food poisoning due to resistant Escherichia coli.

The contamination of agricultural crops with heavy metals due to soil and atmospheric contamination is a potential threat for their quality and their safety. Heavy metals such as Cd and Pb have been reported for their carcinogenic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the lead and cadmium concentration in some of crops grown in Isfahan province, Iran. During two seasons (spring and summer), 80 samples of four different crops (20 samples from each crop) were randomly harvested from some of the agricultural lands of Isfahan province. After sample preparation, lead and cadmium contents were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The average concentration of Pb and Cd were different in different crops. A significant difference (p<0.05) was observed between mean concentration of lead in beetroot with onion and also cabbage whereas no significant difference was observed for lead between beetroot and lettuce (p>0.05). Means comparison showed a significant difference for cadmium between beetroot and cabbage and also beetroot and onion (p<0.001). Results showed that the concentration of Pb and Cd in most of the samples was higher than the standard limits reported by Iran (maximum tolerance of heavy metal in lettuce, cabbage, rootbeet and onion is 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, and 0.1 for lead and 0.1, 0.05, 0.05 and 0.05 UNIT for cadmium respectively) and FAO-WHO. The findings of this study indicated that although most of the sampling plants were contaminated with lead and cadmium, the estimated daily intake of each metal (EDI) showed that except lead in lettuce, other crops have EDI below the provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI) recommended by the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran. In order to better management, preventing pollution and also finding the origin of elements, analyzing heavy metals content in soil, water, and dust of this region is recommended.

Identification of lactic acid bacteria of traditional cheeses is the first step of developing new starters in order to protect from national genetical resources and to product industrial cheese with desirable texture and organoleptic characteristics same as traditional cheeses. After traditional cheeses collection (24 samples of 8 different traditional cheeses from West Azerbaijan), identification of Lactobacillus species was performed using a specific culture (MRS broth). In present study, from a total of 118 isolates of lactobacilli were determined. Lactobacillus plantarum (24%), Lactobacillus casei (20%) and Lactobacillus agillis (18%) from facultative heterofermentative Lactobacilli and Lactobacillus delbrueckii (21%), Lactobacillus helveticus (14%) and Lactobacillus salvariu s (3%) from obligative homofermentative Lactobacilli were found to be more dominant species. So for achievement to organoleptic characteristics of traditional cheeses in industrial productions, mixed starters including dominant Lactobacillus species identified in cheeses can be employed.

The purpose of this study is detecting short-term survival of all hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction in Isfahan and Najaf Abad based on sex. The data of all patients who were hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction between 1378 to 1387 in Isfahan and Najaf Abad were collected by trained nurses of the surveillance department in a research center. Using these information and Cox proportional hazard method, Kaplan-Meier method and log Rank test, the survival by sex in different subgroups of patients, was determined and compared between two sexes. Short-term 28 days survival following the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction is 90.9%. A significant difference was seen between overall women and men survival (Respectively, 86.7% vs. 92.5% p<0.001). It decreases significantly with increasing age and increases with thrombolytic use. The survival rate of acute myocardial infarction in Iranian women is less than men. Physicians should pay more attention to the treatment and care of patients at higher risk of mortality, especially women and older patients.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is one of the commonest agents that cause congenital malformation such as mental retardation and deafness. Seroprevalence of HCMV varies in different populations and age groups. This study tried to determine the seroprevalence and contributory factors of CMV in order to develop successful strategies for HCMV diseases prevention. We examined 595 serum samples from different age groups for the presence of IgG antibodies against HCMV by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Overall, 586 out of 595 cases were seropositive for HCMV-IgG while 9 cases were seronegative. Educational level, sex, marital status, and place of residence were not associated with CMV seropositivity. Our results indicated that in Isfahan, Similar to other developing countries, most patients are infected during puberty and not through sexual intercourse. Therefore, frequent audiological assessments and urine samples to evaluate CMV in case of defect in hearing ability are mandatory. We also recommend transmission of eradicated blood for immunocompromised patient and immature neonates.

In recent years, applied climatology is using climate data in order to achieve industrial, economic and scientific goals. Climate effects on medical fields are also very important. The purpose of this research was to recognize the relation between some climate elements such as temperature, rain and height with the most prevalent diseases in the Province of Isfahan, Iran. Statistical data regarding the number of the deceased due to different diseases during 2002-2007 was collected from the report provided by the Climatology Organization and the Ministry of Health in 2007. The data was analyzed by regression equations. Disease distribution and climate elements maps were prepared by ArcGIS software. A direct relation was found between number of deaths and temperature. In fact, an increase in temperature would lead to higher death rates caused by different diseases. In addition, negative inverse relations were observed between death rates and rain and height, i.e. fewer people died in higher and rainier parts of the Province of Isfahan. In general, it is indicated that number of deaths increases as we move from west to east throughout the province.

• Cardiovascular disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world and it is expected to be the main cause of death by 2020. The aim of this study was providing geographical distribution map of the rate of death caused by cardiovascular diseases in the cities of Isfahan province, Iran, during 2005 to 2009.• The rate of all the deaths in Isfahan province within 2005 to 2009 was provided. The collected data was used to find out the rate of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases and preparing geographical distribution maps. Then, by putting down the death rates for different sexes (men and women), the geographical distribution map for deaths with regards to cardiovascular diseases was drawn.• Death rates due to cardiovascular problems were higher in main and central cities of the province. Death rate was higher in men than women.• The observed model main and central cities is probably due to unsuitable diet, lack of motion, using new technologies and environmental pollutions including existence of some elements due to environmental pollutants such as industries, transportations of vehicles and air pollution, which are more prevalent in the main cities of the province. Also, due to existence of medical university centers and more health facilities in the main cities of the province, such as Isfahan, Najafabad, Borkhar and Maymeh, the registration system for deaths and diagnosing the causes of deaths are more accurate than other cities and towns of the province. The difference between two sexes could be due to in heritage, male hormones, some social factors, increasing fat around abdomen in men, exciting or even offensive behaviors in men, ignoring weight increase in men as compared to women and smoking.

Infections due to Herpes simlex virus type 2 (HSV-2) often causes genital herpes in men and women, infant herpes and nonsupporative meningitis. These diseases are caused in relation to HIV infection, and might be transfected from mother to baby.In this study the prevalence of HSV-2 was determined for the first time by PCR method in clinical samples collected from Isfahan and Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari provinces. One hundred HSV-2 infected sera with high titer of IgG and IgM were collected from suspected patients. In total 82 samples from Isfahan province and 18 samples from Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari province were collected. Viral DNA was extracted and PCR was performed by using specific primers for gD gene of HSV-2. The positive results of HSV-PCR and the 1013 bp segment of HSV-2 gD gene was detected in 8 of 100 (8%) of serum samples. In Isfahan province 6.09 % and in Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari province 16.66 % were positive for HSV-2. The results of this study demonstrated the prevalence of HSV-2 in studied region similar to other regions of the world. Besides, PCR method is presented as a useful procedure for detection of HSV-2 in infected sera.

Although lifestyle changes have led to changes in the epidemiology of Hepatitis A infection in different countries, there is no special guideline for its prevention. The latter is because of the lack of information about the prevalence of this infection. Hence, in this study the anti-HAV seroprevalence was determined in Isfahan province, Iran. In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2005, a number of 816 subjects aged over 6 years who were selected by multi stage random cluster sampling from urban and rural areas of Isfahan province were studied. Demographic data and blood samples were collected and anti-HAV antibodies were measured by ELISA method. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis and p
