Abstract
Background: To evaluate the accuracy of 5node sampling as an alternative to classic axillary dissection in operable breast cancer(stage I and II ) Method and Material: 5 largest nodes of level one were sampled in 26 consecutive patient with breast cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy and axillary clearance between june 2002 to march 2004.
Result: False negative rate for 5 node sampling was 7.7%, of 14 cases with negative 5 node sampling 2 (7.7%) were found to have disease elsewhere in the axilla.
Conclusion: Sampling of 5 largest nodes accurately (92%) identifies patients with metastatic nodes.

Abstract
Background: Gonadotropins are commonly used for superovulation in human and animals to retrieve more oocyte and increase chance of pregnancy. Ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction technology produces lower implantation rates per embryo transferred than natural and ovum donation cycles, suggesting suboptimal endometrial development due to the hormones used to recruit more oocytes. Due to the frequent use of gonadotropins in the treatment of infertility in successive periods, the aim of this study was to determine the endometrial changes in response to repeated ovarian stimulation.
Methods: This experimental interventional study has done in research center of Hamadan university of medical sciences in 2012. NMRI female mice six weeks old were used in this study and divided into 7 groups (5 each). The mice in group 1, 2, 3 and 4 received 1, 2, 3 and 4 times pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and 48 hours later 7.5 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) respectively. For each group were considered a control group which received on time gonadortropin injection. The mouses were killed 13-16 hours after hCG injection and middle part of uterine horn cut for histological study using Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. The parameters that studied were surface epithelium of endometrium, glandular epithelium, and endometrial height and axis of uterine gland.
Results: Our results showed that there are no significant differences in glandular epithelium, axis of glands and height of endometrium in experimental groups (P>0.05). The height of surface epithelium showed significant increases after ovarian stimulation in experiment group (P≤0.03). Our results showed that there are no significant differences in glandular epithelium, axis of glands, height of endometrium and height of surface epithelium between control groups and also it's experimental group (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Changes in the height of surface epithelium could be one of the reasons for decrease implantation rates with repeated ovarian stimulation.

Abstract
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is one of methods in evaluation of breast lesions. We aimed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumors and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 patients with 88 breast lesions were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI from 2015 to 2017 in Athari Imaging Center in Tehran, Iran. Nearly all patients has undergone histopathology evaluation. One small region of interest (ROI) were placed on the most restricted region inside the solid part on the ADC map. Care was taken to avoid cystic or necrotic, fatty regions and hematoma inside the mass. A large round ROIs were placed in healthy fibroglandular tissue of contralateral breast ADC values were measured and compared in normal breast tissue and in most restricted parts of breast lesions (mass and non-mass). After determining cut-off for differentiation of benign and malignant lesions, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated.
Results: Mean age of patients was 43.3 years. The average tumor size of benign and malignant lesions were calculated 26.0 mm, 35.3 mm respectively and 23 mm and 46 mm in mass and non-mass respectively. Invasive ductal carcinoma include the majority of pathology result (in 37.5% of the patients). Our results revealed that the measured ADC values in normal breast tissue were higher than breast lesions (P≤0.01). Mean ADC value in benign lesions was 1.40×10-3 mm²/s and for malignant lesion was 1.08×10-3 mm²/s. ADC value in the normal breast tissue was 1.79×10-3 mm2/s and was significantly higher than ADC value of breast lesions (benign and malignant). Cut-off value in non-mass was not valid, but in mass was 1.19×10-3 mm²/s with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive and accuracy of 89.7%, 83.8%, 87.5%, 86.6%, and 87.1% respectively.
Conclusion: In DWI imaging, ADC value can differentiate benign and malignant masses with high sensitivity and specificity but not helpful in non-mass lesions.

Abstract
Background: The treatment of male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism leading to infertility in men and caused by gonadotropin is the subject of the current thesis. In this research, particularly, the fertility rate has been noticed. However, changes in the secondary traits of testes size, induction of spermatogenesis, and hormonal activity have also been considered. this project is to investigate the effectiveness of the mentioned treatment in creating fertility in the spouses of patients and comparing it with other researches conducted in other centers of the world.

Methods: In this retrospective and descriptive-analytical study, men with isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism based on the normality of other pituitary axes who had a tendency to be fertile were studied. From November 2017 to February 2020, these patients had been referred to the doctor at the endocrinology and urology clinics of Ahvaz for fertility purposes. The initial test was based on clinical examinations and testosterone measurement and sperm count for the patients was recorded after the treatment. The treated patients simultaneously received HMG 75 units every other day (three times a week) and HCG 5000 units every other day. Hormonal evaluation and clinical examinations were assessed again.
Results: This research showed that the size of the testicles increased in 54.8% of these patients. Secondary characteristics (secondary hair growth) were developed in 88.9% of the patients. Spermatogenesis induction occurred in 36 patients, 29 of whom became fathers. Meanwhile, in 67.3% of patients, sexual desire and in 69.4% of them hormonal activity increased. In addition, it was observed that the response time to replacement therapy is more than 12 months in 47.5% of the patients. Moreover, 6.6% of the study samples had used assisted reproductive methods.
Conclusion: The results of this research indicate the timely initiation of treatment to improve infertility and treat hypogonadism among men.According to the results, it seems that the use of HMG and HCG in the treatment of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism disease is effective in creating secondary sexual characteristics and increasing hormonal activity and fertility.
