Background & Aim: Since suicidal ideation is a common problem in people with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, investigation of its components is of particular importance. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between perfectionism, positive and negative affection and suicidal ideation in people with obsessive tendencies.
Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a descriptive-correlational method in which 142 out of 410 students from Tabriz University with obsession score higher than the cut-off point were selected through convenience sampling. In order to collect data, Hill perfectionism scale, Positive and Negative Affection Schedule (PANAS), Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI) and Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS) were used. The data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation test and simultaneous multiple regression by SPSS 21.
Results: There were a significantly positive relationship between perfectionism and suicidal ideation (r=0.46; P<0.01). Also suicidal ideation had a negative relationship with positive affection (r=0.47; P<0.05) and a positive relationship with negative affection (r=0.61; P<0.01). Among perfectionism subscales, seeking for confirmation, rumination and striving for being excellent (with regression coefficients of β= 0.2, β= 0.22, β= 0.17 respectively) could predict suicidal ideation among the subjects (P>0.01).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, variables including seeking for confirmation, striving for being excellent, rumination and negative affection are the main determinants of suicidal ideation in people with obsessive tendencies.

Background & Aim: Momordica charantia (Karela) is a well-known medicinal plant with nutritional applications in southeast of Iran. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fruit powder of Karela on serum malondialdehyde levels in rats fed a high-fat diet.
Methods: In this experimental study, 40 male rats randomly divided into 4 groups of 10. Rats in the first group received normal diet and served as negative control group. Also, rats in the second group were treated only with high-fat diet and served as positive control group. The third group received high-fat diet containing 4% of Momordica charantia powder and finally the fourth group received high-fat diet containing 8% of Momordica charantia powder for 30 days. At the end of the study, blood samples were taken from the rats' hearts and serum levels of cholesterol,triglyceride and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined using commercial kits.
Results: Serum levels of malondialdehyde had a significant difference in positive control group compared to negative control group (P<0.05). Serum levels of malondialdehyde in Karela-treated groups had a significant reduction compared to the positive control group. Fruit powder of Karela significantly decreased serum levels of cholesterol, trigelyceride and malondialdehyde in rats compared to the positive control group (p<0.05). No significant difference was observed in serum levels of cholesterol,triglyceride and malondialdehyde (MDA) between groups treated with high-fat diet containing 4% and 8% of Fruit powder of Karela (p˃0.05) .
Conclusion: Having a diet containing unripe fruit powder of Momordica charantia can decrease lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage.

Background & Aim: One of the common reasons for selecting C-section by mothers is the fear of labor pain. Hence, many attempts have been made to reduce C-section cases and increase painless delivery. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the efficacy of anesthesia with fentanyl injection and anesthesia with water injection on pain intensity, labor duration and satisfaction with labor in women undergoing vaginal delivery.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 100 pregnant women in the first stage of labor were randomly divided into two groups of 50 patients undergoing water injection anesthesia and analgesia with fentanyl. Lower back pain was measured before and 10, 45 and 90 minutes after treatment in both groups. Data collection tools include demographic questionnaire, visual Analog scale (VAS), and satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS20.
Results: The mean age of participants in both groups of anesthesia with fentanyl injection and anesthesia with distilled water injection was 24.46 and 23.54 years, respectively. Satisfaction with anesthesia was significantly higher in distilled water anesthesia group than fentanyl anesthesia group (P =0.006). Pain intensity in minute 45 was significantly lower in the group with distilled water injection than fentanyl anesthesia group (P˂0.05). Moreover, labor duration was significantly lower in the group with distilled water injection than fentanyl anesthesia group after intervention (P˂0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that anesthesia with distilled water injection is more welcomed than fentanyl injection among women undergoing vaginal delivery. However, further investigation is needed in this regard.

Background & Aim: Enterococci, gram-positive cocci, are important human pathogens in both community and hospital-acquired infections. Also, they are intrinsically resistant to many commonly used antimicrobial agents. The purpose of this study was to investigate antibiotic resistance profiles of Enterococci isolated from referred patients in Qaem teaching hospital.
Methods: A total of 110 isolates of Enterococci were collected from Qaem teaching hospital affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences during April to October 2014. Then the modified disk diffusion method (MDDM) was used for identifying the susceptibility of the isolates to 10 selected antibiotics.
Results: Resistance of Enterococcus strains to vancomycin, penicillin, ceftriaxone, erythromycin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid and co-trimoxazole was 5.4%, 54.5%, 70%, 79%, 41.8%, 35.5%, 71.8%, 65.4%, 89% and 71.8% respectively. In this study, 92 isolates were obtained from urine(83.6%) and 18 isolates(16.3%) were from various samples (7 isolates from blood, 1 isolate from cerebrospinal fluid, 3 isolates from scar and 7 isolates from secretions). Moreover, 51% of bacteriological isolates were obtained from men and 46% were from women.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, a significant percentage of Enterococcus strains are resistant to ceftriaxone, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid and co-trimoxazole. Therefore, there is a need for appropriate therapeutic strategies to control and prevent the spread of resistant strains.
