(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Karami-Mohajeri, S.; Farsipour, B.; Mozaffari, A.; Faghihi-Zarandi, A.
Context: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the most important pollutants in the air that can lead to a broad range of adverse health effects. One of the sources of VOCs is their emissions during copper concentration in copper factories. Aims: To evaluate the concentration of VOCs in the concentration plant of a copper factory and the impact of these pollutants on worker’s health. Settings and Design: This was a cross-sectional study in a concentration plant of a copper factory. Methods and Material: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used for measurement of VOCs in the air samples collected by activated charcoal tube. Additionally, urine and fasting blood samples were taken for urinalysis and routine Hematological and biochemical tests of kidney and liver functions. Statistical analysis used: data were analysed using the student's t-test for difference of mean by Graph pad Prism foe windows (version 6.07) Results: Fourteen VOCs were identified in the air samples and all parameters except alkaline phosphatase, blood sugar, bilirubin, and monocytes, lymphocytes, and eosinophils counts were significantly increased. Conclusions: The average exposure of workers to VOCs did not exceed the current TWA. However, evidence of subtle, sub-clinical and pre-pathologic early blood, liver, and kidney dysfunction was evident in exposed individuals.
ASSESSMENT OF CONCENTRATION CHANGES AND TRAFFIC EFFECTS ON CARBON MONOXIDE LEVEL IN THE CITY OF YASUJ, IRAN
(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Porkavosh, S.; Marioryad, H.; Shirazi, A. R.; Rezaei, S.; Hassani, G.
Background and objectives: Identification and measurement of air pollutants are the first steps to manage air pollution. Because many of these pollutants can have adverse effects on ecosystem and human health, no knowledge of the quality and quantity of pollutants can cause problems in identifying, determining concentration and, if necessary, controlling. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in carbon monoxide (CO) concentration and the effect of traffic on the level of this pollutant in the city of Yasuj in Iran. Materials and methods: In this study, the first action was the selection of study sampling stations, where were considered to be ten major squares of the city. The samples were collected in cold and hot seasons at traffic hours (between 7am and 22pm). In the next step, the direct-reading instrument (First Check) was used to measure the concentration of air CO. Traffic intensity measurements were also performed visually. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software. Results:The mean CO concentration in the city of Yasuj was estimated at 1.01 ppm. The maximum concentration of this pollutant was measured in the hot season and in night hours on the first days of the week In addition, the results of this study showed that increased traffic intensity enhanced linearly the CO concentrations. Conclusion: Although the results of the present study indicated the CO concentrations less than the allowable environmental standard limits, but since even small amounts of air pollutants can cause damage to the health of exposed people and environment, the necessary interventions should be taken into account in order to control the air pollutants for maintain and improving the existing conditions.
ATRIPLEX HALIMUS (AMARANTACEES) CALLOGENESIS INDUCTION FROM DIFFERENT EXPLANT TYPE
(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Halfaoui, Y.; Kadiri, A.; Ighilhariz, Z.
For Atriplex halimus valorization by in vitro tissue culture, a callogenesis protocol is initiated in order to study the different factors that influence cell proliferation in this species. For this purpose, different explants (leaves, cut stems, cotyledonary leaves, hypocotyls and apexes) are cultured on MS [1] and B5 medium [2], with half strength macroelements and added with different concentrations of 2,4-D and kinetine. The results evaluation shows that callogenesis depends on the culture medium mineral composition, the hormones concentration and the explant type. The B5 medium with half strength macroelements (B5/2) seems to be the most favorable for the callogenesis induction compared to MS medium with half strength macroelements (MS/2). The results also show that the stem and hypocolyl explants are the most reactive and that the use of 0.5 mg / l 2,4-D + 0.5mg / l Kin gives the best callogenesis rates.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF FOLIAR ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI AND LEAVES EXTRACTS OF PEGANUM HARMALA OF DAYATE AIAT (LAGHOUAT, ALGERIA)
(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Ouzid, Y.; Smail-Saadoun, N.; Houali, K.
Endophytic fungi that reside in plant tissues are a potential source of secondary metabolites with biological activities. In our study, we investigated the detection of the antioxidant activity of the crude fungal extract of the genera Cladosporium, Alternaria, Aspergillus and Penicillium: endophytic fungi isolated from the leaves of Peganum harmala harvested in Laghouat and extract of these same leaves. The extraction of these metabolites was carried out using ethyl acetate. The antioxidant activity of the latter was carried out by the DPPH test. Our tests reveal that the extracts studied have a low antioxidant activity. The inhibitory concentrations show a higher antioxidant effect for the Penicillium extract compared to the other extracts studied. The antioxidant molecules are related to the content of polyphenols. Penicillium extract has the highest polyphenol content. Our results confirm that endophytic fungi are a potential and limited source of natural antioxidant compounds, in the same way as plants.

The results obtained from this study demonstrate that the noise generated by the turbo-compressor is higher than the noise generated by the moto-compressor.
COMPARISON OF THE INCIDENCE OF HYPOCALCEMIA IN THYROIDECTOMY DUE TO MULTI-NODULAR GOITER AND THYROID CANCER
(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Mansourian, A.; Paymard, A.; Khastavaneh, M.; Parvizian, R.; Jahantab, M.
Introduction: Thyroid disease, especially nodular lesions, is one of the most common diseases in recent years. Non-toxic nodular goiter multinodular is a common thyroid problem, which increases with increasing age. Multi-nodular malformation can cause Excessive glandular enlargement and more than any other thyroid disease with glandular neoplastic involvement. In fact, multi-nodular goiter is benign, but there are some focal regions of malignant changes that cannot be detected by physical examination, ultrasonography, or radioisotope scanning, and only after extraction of the tuber by surgery and its pathological examination. Method: This descriptive-analytic study was a retrospective study in which 180 patients underwent total thyroidectomy, which was the cause of this multi-nodular goiter or thyroid cancer. This study was conducted to investigate the patients referred to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in 2016 and 2017. Meanwhile, 86% of the patients were female with thyroidectomy. The cause of thyroidectomy was multiple nodular goiter and thyroid cancer. The cause of the action was based on the case, the description of the practice and the doctor's opinion, as well as the answer to the pathology sample. In order to select the sample, all files of patients under complete thyroidectomy were selected and counted. Discuss: The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of hypocalcaemia in thyroidectomy with the cause of multiple nodular goiter and thyroid cancer. The first finding from the present study was that there was no significant difference in incidence of hypocalcemia in thyroidectomy due to MNG and thyroid carcinoma. Since surgery has been performed in a university hospital with a large number of patients and has been carried out by surgeons with sufficient surgical experience and skill, there is no significant difference in the incidence of hypocalcemia in thyroidectomy due to the multi-nodular goiter and thyroid cancer, as a result of this issue. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there is no difference between the incidence of hypocalcemia in thyroidectomy and the cause of multinodulargoiter and thyroid cancer.

DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR PREDICTING THE IRON CONCENTRATIONS OF LAKE OUBEIRA WATERS (NE ALGERIAN)
(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Alayat, H.; El Badaoui, H.; Abdallaoui, A.; Abrid, D.; El Hmaidi, A.
Facing the increase of surface water samples contaminated by ETMs, usually from the geochemical background, the emergence of new human diseases is worrying. To solve this problem, we have developed several models based on different learning algorithms qualified by high performance, using different transfer functions. We have shown that all the Neural Models presented more or less important performance compared to the one based on multiple linear regressions. The best revealed model ANN in the current work is a MLP type that uses the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm as a learning algorithm, with Tansig and Purelin as transfer functions, respectively in the hidden layer and the output layer. This successful model can be considered as an important tool of great effectiveness in the context of environmental prediction and especially in anticipation of the iron contents of the Oubeira Lake water.

(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Hussein, A.; Benmoussa, M.; Abbad, M.
This experiment was executed in a split randomized complete block design with three replications. Two plant densities (D), (D1; D2) equal to one plant and twoplants per pot and seven fertilizers doses (F), (N0 K0; N1 K0; N1 K1; N2 K0; N2 K2; N0 K1; N0 K2) were investigated. N0, N1 and N2 equal to 0, 0.46, and 0.92 g urea while, K0, K1 and K2 equal to 0, 0.42 and 0.84 g potassium sulfate, respectively. The results showed that the treatments had no effect on the number of branches per plant and vice versa the interaction. Lower plant density (D1) and higher dose of both elements (N2 K2) significantly increased shoots dry weight, number of pods and pod yield per plant while, in second season the higher value of those yield parameters was obtained at lower dose of nitrogen (N1 K0), the interaction of those treatments increased significantly plant dry weight. The interaction between lower plant density (D1) and nitrogen irrespective of their quantity and potassium, (N1 K0; N1 K1; N2 K0 and N2 K2) increased the number of pods and pods yield per plant, while the greatest yield per hectare was obtained at density planting (D2) receiving higher doses of both fertilizer and lower dose of nitrogen (N2 K2: N1 K0) at the first and second season respectively.

(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-01-01) Paymard, A.; Khastavaneh, M.; Avini, S.; Jahantab, M.
Attempts to prescribe and correct the use of drugs, especially antibiotics, have always been considered as a major and major policy goal. Although antibiotics are necessary in most bacterial infections and its lack of use is life-threatening, most studies have shown that 30 to 60% of cases have been misdiagnosed and inappropriate. Method: This study was a descriptive and analytical study. The data collected from antibiotic use in the surgery department of Yasuj Shahid Beheshti Hospital were collected. During six months, the use of cefazolin, ceftriaxone, clindamycin, ceftazidime, gentamicin, Vancomycin, moropenem, ami-pene clindamycin and metronidazole were randomly assigned to antibiotic culture. Findings: Of the total 19379 antibiotics consumed over the course of 6 months, 35% of the total antibiotics used are cefazolin, and then 24% is for metronidazole. Separated from ceftriaxone, clindamycin, vancomycin, Imipenem, ceftazidime and Meropenem, the drug was 6 months old. Discussion and conclusion: Considering the excessive consumption of antibiotics in Iran and the imposition of heavy costs on the health of the baby and the health system, and with the data obtained to date, this study also showed that administration of antibiotics is unnecessary and does not depend on the patient's need. Most cases showed a high percentage of antibiotic resistance, which is consistent with other previous studies. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent antibiotics from being irrationally consumed by educating both the health system and the people.

Introduction: Tooth decay is a transmissible bacterial infectious disease that many pathologic agents play in it. The most important etiologic factors of this disease are: cariogenic bacteria, fermented carbohydrates, dental susceptibility, host and time. Tooth decay occurs early in life and simultaneously with the growth of the teeth in the child, causing problems and disturbances in the nutrition, developmental and physical development of speech and communication with the environment. The risk of this condition also threatens the baby's permanent teeth, which, if not prevented and treated, can lead to loss of teeth. Materials and methods: This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study. 362 students from 6-12 years old in 2017 were randomly selected from three high schools, downtown and Yasuj city center as the sample. The tool was a collection of questionnaires and a checklist prepared from before. Finding: The status of teeth brushing between boys and girls was statistically significant, and regular brushing in girls is more than boys.There was no significant difference between the economic statuses of the girls' families in the boys. Discuss:In this study, the prevalence of tooth decay in children aged 6 to 12 years in Yasuj was 95%. The rate of caries and indicators of decay severity in Boyer Ahmad city was higher than the average World Health Organization (WHO).
