Abstract
Background: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology is one of our new measures in treating dermatologic disorders including undesirable skin pigmentation. In contrast with lentigines and freckling of the skin, few reports about nevus spilus treatment using intense pulsed light have been published. The aim of current study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of nevus spilus treatment with an intense pulsed light device (Palomar Max-G IPL). Methods: Patients with diagnosed nevus spilus confirmed via histopathology, were treated by an intense pulsed light source using parameters according to the skin type and location of lesions in one to three consecutive treatment sessions at 14-21 day intervals for three month. Palomar Max-G ® IPL hand piece is optimized for pigmented skin lesions and we used no additional filter. After each session, Photographs were taken from lesions with 10 mega pixel camera. Two months after finishing the treatment, the effect was evaluated base on close-up photographs. Results: Fourteen female patients were included. Significant improvement (76-100%) in one patient, good improvement (51-75%) in eight patients and fair to poor improvement (0-25%) in five patients were achieved. The commonest side effect of treatment was transient erythema resolved after six to eight hours. No permanent complication was reported. Younger patients and patients with shorter duration of lesion had better response to treatment however the differences were not statistically significant. Only one recurrence has been seen. No significant relationship between age, gender, anatomical site of lesions and skin type with response rate was found. Conclusion: Intense pulsed light is seemed an effective and safe treatment for nevus spilus Treatment however randomized control trials with longer follow-up periods are required to evaluate the efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a highly prevalent, serious and chronic infection. It been associated causally with a diverse spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma. We conducted a study to Evaluation of the role of breastfeeding and breast milk on the colonization of H. pylori in the gastrointestinal tract of 2-24 month old.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 92 children referred to Ali Asghar Hospital of Iran University of Medical Sciences for two years (from July 2015 to June 2017). At first, a questionnaire was recorded by the neonatal specialist including demographic and clinical characteristics of the infants. Stool samples were taken from infants at 2, 6, 12, and 24 months of age. We used the H. pylori stool antigen test to detection infection in the selected group of children. H. pylori status was evaluated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: In the study of breastfeeding at 12 months of age, 51.1% were fed only dry milk and 28.3% were breastfed only. At 24 months, 22 infants (24%) were breastfed with supplemental feeding and 54 children (58.7%) were  formula-fed only and 8 children (8.7%) were breastfed only. In our study, the prevalence of H. pylori in infants of Tehran, at 2, 6, 12, and 24 months, were 0%, 6.5%, 15.21%, and 34.4%, respectively. Of the 92 children studied, during the first month, 25 children (27.2%) only formula-fed and 49 children (53.3%) were breastfed only and (19.6%) 18 infants were breastfed with dry milk. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 28.3%. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 20% in the breastfeeding group and 44% in the infant dry milk feeding group. The prevalence of H. pylori antigen was greater than 12 IU/ml in infants 2, 6, 12, and 24 months of age, including 19.92 (20.6%), 19.92 (20.6%), 24.92 (26.1%) and 21.92 (22.8%), respectively.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the article, breastfed children compared to formula-fed children were less infected by Helicobacter pylori.
