Abstract

This research studies the quality of medical prescriptions for children under 5 years of age and their effective factors carried out by Behvarzes at Eslamshar town.
Materials and Methods: The study took place in 19 health houses considering the medical family files of patient children seeking for medical care by 33 Behvarz for quality of medical prescription. Two questionnaire were used for the study. The first questionnaire contained information about children medical prescription and variables evaluated in relation to medical prescription dose, duration of consumption and the cure duration period, which carried out for both girl and boy group separately. The second questionnaire contained information about the condition of working Behvarzes demographic in health houses considered variable for Behvarzes are: Age, Sex , experience, education, place of residence marital status.
Results: The important points of the study are as follow: - In cases that according to Behvarzy training patient follow up is necessary, 56.9%of the needed cases did not full fill the appropriate and necessary follow up program. - One of the important constraints of the research is the high percent of unrecorded cases by Behvarzes including:
1 - 1.2% unknown medical prescriptions.
2- 44.2% unknown dose of prescribed medicine
3- 52.4% unknown care duration period
4- 36.5% unknown period of time for taking the medicine. Conclusion: According to the information:

1- 64.9 dose of prescribed medicine
2- 73.2 period of time for taking the medicine
3- 84.1 care duration period There were appropriate.

Abstract

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder with unknown etiology. In recent years, a great number of studies have investigated the possible role of reactive oxygen species in the etiology and pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. The aim of this study was to analyze the level of activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidas (GSH-Px), Super oxide dismotase (SOD) in patients with RA compared with the healthy subjects.
Methods: In a case-control study sixty rheumatoid arthritis patients 18-75 years old and 60 healthy sex and age-matched controls were selected, Catalase activity was measured by determining the constant rate (k) of hydrogen peroxide decomposition. GSH-Px activity of plasma was measured with spectrophotometer by Glutathione oxide generation due to GSH-Px. SOD activity is measured by degree of inhibition effect of SOD in generating super oxide radicals by xanthine and xanthine oxidase. C-reactive protein and rheumatoid factor values were determined by agglutination and latex tests.
Results: The plasma activity of catalase (p<0.001), GSH-Px (p<0.01), plasma level of hemoglobin and hematocrit (p<0.05) were significantly lower in patients with RA comparing with controls. The reduction in SOD activity was not significant (p>0.05). There was a negative significant relation between C reactive protein and Rheumatoid factor values with the erythrocyte activity of catalase and GSH-Px (p<0.01).
Conclusion: These results suggested that oxidative stress plays a very important role in the inflammation and pathogenesis of RA.
