Background & Aim: Leech Therapy is a type of complementary and alternative medicine that has been used for a long time as a therapeutic method in traditional Iranian Islamic medicine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of leech therapy on blood lactate level and pain perception index following an Exhausting Physical activity in young male athletes.
Methods: Sixteen athletes of young men were selected and randomly divided into two groups: control and leech therapy with equal number (8 persons). In leech therapy groups, immediately after the completion of the Bruce test, two medicinal leeches were used for 30 minutes. The site of placement of medicinal leeches was selected along the cephalic vein. The subjects participated in an exhaustive Bruce test. The lactate level and the level of perceived muscle pain were measured before, immediately, half and 1 hour after the Bruce test.
Results: Significance of the interaction of group * Time in repeated measures ANOVA showed that post-test mean, lactate mean and pain index of lecch treatment group are significantly lower than control group (P = 0.01 lactate). (P = 0.01 pain). Results of within-group changes showed a significant change in lactate content (P = 0.001). And pain index (P = 0.001).
Conclusion: Blood lactate levels and pain perception decrease as a result of treatment; therefore, it is suggested that athletes benefit the advantages of leech therapy to reduce the level of blood lactate and the level of pain perception following a maximal exercise session as well as to increase performance during vigorous activities.

Background & Aim: Extract of pomegranate peel is a potential bioactive substance to combat cancer due to its rich cytotoxic components including polyphenols. This study aimed to identify phytochemical ingredients of pomegranate peel extract and assessed the level of their cytotoxicity on a cervical cancer cell line. In addition, the effect of this extract on expression of a key gene in the process of angiogenesis was evaluated.
Methods: In the present study, pomegranate peel ingredients were extracted qualitatively using the Soxhlet apparatus and their phytochemical composition was identified. The level of cytotoxicity of different concentrations of the extract in different time intervals was assessed on the Hela cell line using the MTT assay. Then, the PDGF gene expression in the cells treated by the extract was evaluated quantitatively employing the Real-time PCR technique. Statistical analysis was based on Duncan's multiple range test using SPSS software package and linear regression model.
Results: The phytochemical tests proved that methanolic extract of the pomegranate peel contained different ingredients such as polyphenols. MTT test results revealed that the extract possesses antitumor effect at different concentrations. Gene expression studies indicated that the extract decreases the expression of PDGF in Hela cancer cell line (P=0.004).
Conclusion: The pomegranate peel extract induces antitumor and cytotoxic effects and is able to inhibit the growth and spread of cervical cancer cells, thus it might have the potential to be used effectively in the prevention of cancer cell proliferation.

Background & Aim: Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in Zahedan city; however, its quality is affected by high human activities and leads to the increased level of nitrate. This study was conducted to evaluate the nitrate concentration in water resources compared to the standards and also evaluating its Non-Carcinogenic Risk (Hazard Quotient: HQ) in Zahedan city.
Methods: In this study, 170 samples from urban water distribution and 179 samples from rural water distribution were collected. Nitrate concentration in samples were measured by spectrophotometer and health risk assessment of existing nitrate was estimated by model of US Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization.
Results: Maximum, minimum and average of nitrate concentration in urban areas were found to be 236.7, 4.7 and 40/87± 3/81, respectively; and in rural areas those were 211, 5.3 and 31/89±3/15 mg/l, respectively. The Hazard Quotient was higher than one for 44% of children, 14% of women and 8% of men in urban areas and 55% of children, 22% of women and 18% of men in rural areas.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that children are at higher Non-Cancer Risk for water than adults. Therefore, controlling human activities, improving sewage collection systems and enhancing water treatment methods can be very effective in nitrate intake through drinking water and promotion of health, especially for children.
