Nephropathy, which is one of the main complications of diabetes, is the most common cause of irreversible renal failure. Diabetic and dialysis patients are prone to some oral dental problems, such as periodontal disease, increased plaque, gingivitis, candidiasis, dry mouth, premature loss of teeth. And mobility of teeth. Due to the high prevalence of diabetes and the increase in patients with chronic renal failure, the present study aimed to evaluate the frequency distribution of oral and dental signs and symptoms.

This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 118 diabetic patients in ESRD (End Stage Renal disease) and non-ESRD groups. The patients assessed the symptoms of pain or burning sensation in the oral mucosa and dry mouth using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Fox questionnaire, respectively. Oral symptoms, including coated tongue, mucosal ulcers, candidiasis, and dental erosion, as well as CPITN (community periodontal index of treatment needs) and DMFT (decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth), were evaluated and recorded by the researcher. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version17) using T-test, Chi-squre, ANOVA, and Mann-Whitney tests.

Mucosal pallor, mucosal pain sensation, and CPITN index were significantly higher in the non-ESRD group, as compared to those inthe group of dialysis patients with p-values reported as 0, 0, and 0.04, respectively. Age demonstrated a direct and significant correlation with DMFT and CPITN index in both groups.

Some oral manifestations are more common in kidney and dialysis patients. As illustrated by the obtained results, mucosal pallor, mucosal pain sensation, as well as periodontal problems according to CPITN index, were significantly lower in the group of dialysis patients than in the other group.

Aims: As a prevalent metabolic disease, diabetes can be followed by severe mental outcomes leading to problems affecting the daily life. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of acceptance and commitment-based intervention on illness perception and psychological capital in persons with type II diabetes.
In the controlled pretest-posttest semi-experimental study, 34 patients with type II diabetes were studied in the Diabetes Clinic of Chamran Hospital of Ferdows City in 2015. The subjects, selected via available sampling method, were randomly divided into two groups including control (n=17 persons) and experimental (n=17 persons) groups. Data was collected by short illness perception questionnaire (IPQ) and Luthans’ psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ). Eight 60-minute acceptance and commitment-base intervention sessions were weekly conducted in experimental group. Data was analyzed by SPSS 18 software using descriptive statistics and covariance analysis test.
Findings: The pretest score having been adjusted, the acceptance and commitment-based intervention significantly increases the scores of illness perception and its sub-scales (p=0.0001) except the personal control sub-scale. In addition, it significantly increases the scores of the psychological capital and its sub-scales (p=0.0001) in patients with type II diabetes.
The acceptance and commitment-based intervention can considerably improve the illness perception and the psychological capital in persons with type II diabetes.

Diabetes Melitus is a complex disease. For most people، it’s a new way of life، and it affects relationships in all areas as much as it affects eating and physical activity. If blood sugar level remains consistently higher than normal، over time it can make dameges on organs like heart، eyes، kidneys، nerves، and other parts of the body. Sometimes people with diabetes melitus don''t realize that they have the disease until they begin to have other health problems. In management of diabetes melitus، the aim is to help people to minimize the risk of developing future complications with control their blood glucose levels. Since ancient times، plants have been an exemplary source of medicine. Researches conducted in last few decades on plants mentioned in ancient literature or used traditionally for diabetes have shown anti-diabetic property of some kinde of plants. The present paper reviews 15 such plants that have shown experimental or clinical anti-diabetic activity.

Metabolic syndrome (M.S.) is a common health problem in the world. Consisting of multiple interrelated risk factors, M.S. increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by 1.5-3 times, and raises the risk for type 2 diabetes as much as 3-5 times. It affects over 26percent of adults. Patients with M.S are known to be at high risk for heart diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and find out about the relationship of this syndrome with coronary heart disease in patients who referred to the Heart Center of Hamedan University in 1387 (H.SH). A cross sectional study has been carried out on 1064 patients. We examined all the C.H.D patients (a total of 514) as well as 550 patients without CHD disease. The patients referred to the Heart Center over a period of three months. The patients with three or more of the following symptoms (IDF criteria) were considered to have Metabolic Syndrome: abdominal obesity (waist >102 cm for men; >88 cm for women),increased triglycerides (>150 mg/dl); low HDL-C (<40 mg/dl in men; <50 mg/dl in women), elevated blood pressure >=130/>=85 mmHg, and a raised fasting glucose (>=110 mg/dl). We have found significant differences between M.S. and I.H.D. The prevalence of M.S. was rated at 32.5 in patients and 21.3 in the others.. Men comprised 53.7% and women 46.3% of the patients with M.S., 13.6% of who were smokers. The findings of this study indicate that the rate of Hypertriglyceridemia was equal to or over 150 mg/dl in 39.1% of the subjects. The prevalence of M.S. in the sample of I.H.D patients was very high. Also, the correlation between M.S and other risk factors was very significant. As a matter of fact, it can be concluded that those patients with M.S. are at the high risk of being affected by cardiovascular disorders.
