Abstract
Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the main knee stabilizing ligaments. Because of high incidence of ACL tearing especially in young athletes its reconstruction is very important. The aim of this study was to evaluate short-term results of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures using four strand hamstring auto graft and Bone patellar tendon autograph.
Methods: The study group included 96 patients (3 female and 93 male) with ACL teared who had been referred to our center in 5 years period (2002-2007). The subject which were Accessed in this study included meniscal injury concomitant chondral injury, determine the most common cause of ACL tearing, comparision of IKDC and lysholm score in all patients before and after surgery, and limitation of rang of motion of knee post operation.
Results: Involvement was in the right knee in 38 patients and in the left knee in 58 patients. Mean age of patients was 27.6 years (19-48). Mean surgical delay was 18 month (1-77). The most common cause of tear was playing soccer. Meniscal injury was in 78 patients. (Medial meniscus in 63 patients, lateral meniscus in 29 patients) Concommitent chondral injury was in 54 patients (56.25%). 68% of patients returned to preoperative functions sport activity. There was no limitation in extension and there was 6 patients limitation in flexion about 20º. In last visit of patients IKDS in class A and B was 96.
Conclusion: It is seem that arthroscopic reconstruction of ACL is a safe and good method in treatment of Knee stability. Use of IKDC and lysholm score for comparision of patients before and after surgery is helpful. The operation should be done early after injury. Reconstruction of ACL in older patients in the abscense of DJD is effective.

Background: Knee
arthrosis is one of the most common and debilitating diseases in the advanced
ages. Regarding the fact that knee arthroplsty is the definitive and ultimate
treatment for this disease, we survey the short term result of this modality.
Methods: In this
survey 34 patients with knee arthrosis who have been admitted in Dr ali
shariati university hospital, Tehran, Iran in a five years period (2001-2006)
and have undergone knee arthroplasty. The relationship between, gender and the
operation results were evaluated using the system of knee society knee score
before and after the operation, causes of arthrosis, prosthesis to be used and
the complications of the surgery.
Results: patients
included 20 females and 14 males with the mean age of 67.37±5.25 year and the
age specterum (51-78). In 15 patients the operation was done only in right
knee, in 5 patients in the left knee and in 14 patients both knees were
operated. The mean of functional score of the operated knee reached from 32.68±4.14
before operation (26-45) to 68.67±6.45 after that (59-82) and the mean of knee
score reached from 30.6±3.8 before operation (22-39) to 86.4±6.34 after
operation (73-92).
Conclusion: Regarding
significant improvement in the functional score and the knee score and the low
complication rate of knee arthroplasty it is recommended that in case of
indication this operation be done as soon as possible because late attendance
increases complications.

Abstract
Background: Surgery is one of the best choices for the treatment of hydatidosis. The use of effective scolicidal agents during surgery for hydatid cyst is essential to prevent the secondary infection. Up to now no effective and safe agent has been identified for this purpose. Berberis vulgaris called “Zereshk” in Persian has been traditionally used as herbal remedy for the treatment of complaints and it is widely cultivated in Iran. Many studies have shown that it has antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic effect.
Methods: In this study the scolicidal effect of Berberis vulgaris aqueous and hydro-alcohol extract for different concentrations (for aqueous: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/ml and for hydro-alcohol: 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg/ml) at different exposure times (5, 15 and 30 minutes) was evaluated. For this purpose, we obtained liver hydatid-cysts from a slaughter house. Viability of protoscolices was assessed by 0.1% eosin staining. Normal saline and hypertonic saline were used as negative and positive controls respectively.
Results: All the different concentrations of Berberis vulgaris aqueous and hydro-alcoholic extracts had scolicidal effect. An aqueous extract with 4mg/ml concentration acted as positive control and we observed to lead to the death of 100% of protoscolices in the first 5 minutes. The least scolicidal effect (12.3%) was observed in an aqueous extract with 0.5 mg/ml concentration.The scolicidal activity of hydro-alcoholic extract with concentration of 2 mg/ml was 100% after 5 min of application, which was the same as positive control group. We noticed a significant increase in protoscolicidal activity with an increase in concentration in the two extracts of Berberis vulgaris (P<0.001).
Conclusion: It is important to mention that all the concentration levels and exposure times applied in this experiment are relatively low, since scolitical activity in both of the extracts is at its highest in this low spectrum. For further experiments, we suggest that the stability of cyst fluid in both of the extracts should be assessed. Therefore, after In vivo examination and additional experiments, it may be used as a suitable and effec-tive scolicidal in surgery.

Abstract
Background: Molecular detection has recently been proposed by nucleic acid amplification, known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic method of smear and polymerase chain reaction with culture in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, sputum samples were collected from 58 patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis referred to Ghaem Hospital in Mashhad from the beginning of April 2017 to the end of March 2018. The samples were delivered to the laboratory in less than 72 hours. Patients were sampled for three times. Bronchoscopy and Broncho alveolar lavage were performed in patients who were unable to produce sputum. The smear test was reported by Ghaem’s Laboratory after 24 hours. In our study, the culture method was considered as the gold standard and the sensitivity and specificity of the PCR methods and smear were compared with it.
Results: Patients ranged in age from 18 to 89 years. Among 58 suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, the method of cultivation confirmed the presence of the disease in 25 cases (43.1%). However, with smear, the presence of the disease has been proved in 27 patients (46.6%) and with the method of PCR in 24 patients was (41.4%). Sensitivity of smear in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was (100%), and its specificity was 93.9%, the positive predictive value of this test was (92.6%) and the negative predictive value was (100.0%). The sensitivity of the PCR method in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was 88.0% and its specificity was 93.9%. The positive predictive value of this was (91.7%) and the negative predictive value was (91.2%).
Conclusion: In this study, between the two methods of smear and polymerase chain reaction, the acid fast smear method was more sensitive to the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis than the polymerase chain reaction and the specificity of both methods were the same.
