One of the enzymes that is produced by Gram negative bacteria is Extended spectrum-β-lactamases (ESBLs) which was first described in the 1980s. This study aims at identifying three common genes (blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX-M) in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients in Arak, Iran.

A total number of 112 isolates were selected during 2012-2013. To identify phenotypic specifications, Combination Disk Method based on CLSI guidelines. The ESBL’s genotype was analyzed by multiplex PCR and DNA sequencing.

Among 10 examined antibiotics, the most resistant and susceptible antibiotics were ampicillin and imipenem, respectively. The phenotypic determination of ESBL showed that 46.42% of isolates produced ESBL. The molecular survey of genes showed that 35.89% had CTX-M, 5.12% had both CTX-M and TEM and 2.56% had TEM, SHV, CTX-M.

According to the findings, the high prevalence (73.07%) of ESBL producing K. pneumoniae was observed with a new pattern of blaCTX-M distribution differed from other countries.

Studies have shown antibacterial activity of anise and on the other hand, Listeria monocytogenes, one Gram-positive pathogen is responsible for listeriosis. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effect of subcutaneous administration of anise essential oil and oral administration of its aqueous extract and also comparison of their effects in BALB/c mice infected with listeriosis.

Two units, by using insulin syringe, of Listeria monocytogenes prepared in 0.5 McFarland standard was intraperitoneally administrated to mice and agglutination test was done to ensure before anise administration. BALB/c mice (n=50) infected with listeriosis received anise aqueous extract (AAE) (5 g/100 g drink water) and 1-unit anise essential oil (AEO) by using insulin syringe was subcutaneously administrated to other mice (n=50) for 1 week. Other mice (n=24) were considered as control.

Results showed that AAE and AEO could improve mice contaminated with listeriosis, although mice treated with AAE were efficiently cured than those who received AEO (37 vs. 12).

On the basis of the results, it can be recommended that the use of AAE for treatment of listeriosis is tenable.

Many studies have been conducted regarding employees' motivation, their job satisfaction and organizational success. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lifeguards' needs and their job satisfaction based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

This field study was a correlational research in which the study sample included all lifeguards who worked in Tehran swimming pools. Based on Krejcie and Morgan table, 306 participants entered the study. Of all distributed questionnaires, 238 questionnaires were returned. In order to collect data, Needs Evaluation Questionnaire (NEQ) and Job Descriptive Index (JDI) were used. For data analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient used (p≤0.05).

Findings revealed significant relationship between elementary level needs accommodation and job satisfaction of Lifeguard. It also showed that female lifesaving job satisfaction was in a higher level than male lifesaving job satisfaction. (p≤0.05).

It can be concluded that, increasing staff satisfaction in all private organizations in order to achieve efficiency and sport promotion is necessary. Managers of organizations have to try to find the ways to increase lifeguards job satisfaction in order to gain more efficiency.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease which induces increase in lipid profile. The present research aimed to review the lipid lowering effects of coriandrum sativum extract and endurance training in diabetic rats.

Thirty two diabetic rats were selected and divided into four groups of eight rats (1) coriandrum sativum extract, (2) endurance training, (3) endurance training with coriandrum sativum extract and (4) control. Rats of groups 2 and 3 ran on treadmill four weeks, five sessions per week and 60 minutes per session; also, rats of groups 1 and 3 received four weeks 100 mg/kg coriandrum sativum extract daily. For statistical analysis of data were used K- S and two way ANOVA tests (p≤0.05).

Endurance training has significant effect on reduction of LDL, VLDL, TG and Cho of diabetic rats (p≤0.05); Coriandrum sativum has significant effect on reduction of LDL, VLDL, TG and Cho of diabetic rats (p≤0.05); also endurance training with coriandrum sativum has interactional effect on the reduction of LDL, VLDL, TG and Cho and increase of HDL of diabetic rats (p≤0.05).

It appears that endurance training increases the lipid lowering effects of coriandrum sativum in diabetic rats.

The aim of this study was to investigate the muscle damage markers and growth mediator responses to concurrent training with different endurance and resistance training order in healthy males.

Thirty-nine healthy male were randomly assigned into three equal homogeneous groups; endurance-resistance training (ER), resistance- endurance concurrent training (RE) and control (C). The training group’s subjects performed eight weeks 3sessions per week concurrent training sessions in the same intensity and duration but different by endurance and resistance exercise orders. Tow incremental exhaustive treadmill tests was performed before training and 72 h after the last training session. Blood samples for the measurement of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 were collected at baseline and immediately after the tow exhaustive treadmill tests.

The response of CK, LDH, IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 to the first and second incremental exhaustive treadmill test showed significant increases in both exercise orders when compared to baseline values (p<0.05). Also, comparison of pre and post-training responses showed a significant decrease in CK and LDH in both exercise order and a significant increase in IGFBP-3 and IGF-1 only in the RE exercise order (P<0.05). However, the present study results didn’t show any significant difference between the ER and RE groups.

According to the results, there were significant decreases in muscle damage markers after both types of concurrent training. However, higher growth mediator’s responses were seen when resistance exercise precedes endurance exercise.

Public sport as a low-cost and fun but effective tool can be part of the daily life plan of the people that can function for the general public in terms of individual and social characteristics, and, in particular, contribute significantly to the promotion of physical, psychological and social health of the youth.

In this causal-comparative study, experts in the field of public sport and health were consulted. 30 public sport and health activists including coaches and staff of the sports board as well as university professors and 10 professors of physical education and health were selected through interviews. Then, the data obtained were analyzed by Lambda method and the design of matrix tables for paired comparisons of final weights of barriers and sub-barriers, using the AHP method and the ranking of barriers and sub-barriers by ANP method at the level of p

Among the proposed solutions for management barriers, the decision to approve the plan by the deputies was the first priority for the Ministry of Health and Treatment to create sports spaces. Among the solutions presented for social-cultural barriers, the agreement to exchange media coverage of women's sports activities and increase knowledge and awareness were first and foremost for women and men. Also, parents' justification of positive effects of exercise and health on improving mental performance for personal-familial barriers was given the priority.

New lifestyle is one of the most important causes of increased prevalence of diabetes due to inappropriate nutrition, consecutive stress, and lack of physical activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high- fiber diet and aerobic exercise on fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and BMI in diabetic overweight women. 41 overweight females with type 2 diabetes (aged between 40- 60) were selected to participate in the study. Patients were randomly divided into four groups including (control, high-fiber diet, aerobic exercise, and high-fiber diet+ aerobic exercise). The high fiber diet group consumed 25-30 gr fiber daily during 12 weeks. The aerobic exercise intensity was 60% of maximum heart rate, and each session took 20- 45 minutes (every two weeks 5 minutes was added). High-fiber diet + exercise group did the aerobic exercises, in addition to receiving 25-30 gr fiber in a day. The control group had no regular exercise activities or a special diet. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) samples were taken before and after the test. Data was analysed by Mann-Whitney U-test and Covariance analysis tests. The results of the study showed a significant reduction in HbA1c in the exercise group and in the high- fiber diet + exercise group compared to the control group (p=0.001). There were no significant differences in fasting blood glucose in the experimental groups compared to the control group (p=0.482). BMI changes were significantly higher in both control, and high- fiber diet + exercise groups (p=0.050). The findings of the present study showed that aerobic exercise can solely or combined with a high-fiber diet relieve the chronic symptoms of diabetes. Also, BMI could have a significant decrease due to exercise and high-fiber diet. As a result, it seems that a regular exercise program and a high-fiber diet can be a part of prevention and treatment of diabetes.

present study aimed to investigate the effect of type of food on growth hormone concentrations in response to physical activity in children. 25 boys (aged 9-14) with complete physical health were randomly divided into three groups, including high carbohydrate (65% carbohydrate, HC), high fat (50% fat, HF), and Normal (N) diet. Physical activity included 10 cycles of 6 seconds sprint running for 20 minutes. Blood was taken in the fasting state, 45 minutes after diet, and 15 minutes after physical activity. Repeated measure ANOVA, factorial analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test at significant level of 0.05 were used to analyze the data. After breakfast, the growth hormone decreased in HC and HF groups. In the HF group, the increase in growth hormone after activity was significant compared to the fasting state (P = 0.01) and post-breakfast state (P = 0.03). The increase after activity was significant in comparison with the post-breakfast state (P = 0.03) in the HF group. In the N group, the growth hormone increased after breakfast (P = 0.03) and activity (P = 0.04) compared to the fasting state. Consumption of food with carbohydrates and lipids reduces the growth hormone secretion, but does not change the response to activity.
