INTRODUCTION: Despite long standing iodine supplementation in Iran the prevalence of goiter remains high in some areas. This may suggest that causes other than iodine deficiency, such as autoimmune thyroid diseases, should also be considered. We therefore assessed the prevalence of anti-thyroid antibodies in children living in an inland area in Iran and correlated these findings with prevalence of goiter within this region. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, 1948 students were selected by multistage random cluster sampling from the 108 primary schools (age, 7-13 year-old) of the urban and rural areas of Semirom. After obtaining written consent from their parents, the children were examined by endocrinologists for goiter grading. Grade 2 goitrous children (108 cases) were compared with non-goitrous children (111 children as control group) for anti-thyroid antibodies. RESULTS: Overall, 36.7% of 1948 students had goiter. The mean urinary iodine excretion level was 1.49+/-0.7 micromol/L. This was within normal limits. Of 219 children studied, 4.3% presented with subclinical hypothyroidism, and 7.3% had positive anti-thyroid antibodies. There was non-significant difference of positive thyroperoxidase antibody (anti-TPO) (Odds Ratio= 3.2, p= 0.13) but significant difference of anti Tg between goitrous and non goitrous children (Odds Ratio: 5.6, 95% CI: 1.18-26.0, p: 0.015). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that autoimmunity may be one of the mechanisms responsible for goiter persistence after iodine replenishment in this iodine deficient region, but the role of other factors should also be considered. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: To estimate the prevalence and risk factors of peripheral neuropathy (PN) in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A total of 810 patients with type 2 diabetes (289 men and 521 women) from Isfahan Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Centre outpatient clinics, Iran, were examined. Part of examination included an assessment of neurological function including neuropathic symptoms and physical signs and nerve conduction velocity. RESULTS: The prevalence of PN was 75.1% (95% confidence interval 72.1, 78.0). PN was associated with age, proteinuria, and duration of diabetes, insulin-treatment, and presence of any retinopathy and ischaemic heart disease (IHD). The age-adjusted prevalence rate of PN was 78% higher among patients with IHD, 64% higher among patients with any retinopathy, 66% higher among insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, and it was greater with duration of diabetes. Using a stepwise binary logistic regression model, age, duration of diabetes and proteinuria were significant independent predictors of PN. CONCLUSION: Peripheral neuropathy is a common complication in this population of Iranian type 2 diabetic patients. It increases with age, duration of diabetes and proteinuria. 相似文献

Background The relationship between breast-feeding history and risk of overweight in pre-adolescent children was investigated.
Methods Children’s breast-feeding history and demographics were obtained in interviewer-administered questionnaires of a multistage
cluster sample survey of 800 parents of children aged 11–13 years living in Yazd, Iran. Height and weight were measured in
the children. Overweight was defined as body mass index ≥90th age- and sex-specific percentile of the 2000 Centers for Disease
Control reference values.
Results One hundred and four (13.0%) of 800 children were overweight. A total of 783 (97.9%) of the children had been breast fed.
There was a markedly lower overweight prevalence among breast-fed than non breast-fed children. Controlling for age and sex,
children breast fed for at least 24 months were substantially less likely to be overweight than children breast fed for less
than 12 months (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.31–0.9). A longer overall duration and duration of exclusive breast-feeding were associated
significantly with the decreasing prevalence of overweight.
Conclusion This sample of Iranian children shows high rates of overweight at young ages but also high rates of breast-feeding. The duration
of breast-feeding is inversely related with the prevalence of overweight in pre-adolescent children. 相似文献

Electrical dipoles oriented perpendicular to the cortical surface are the primary source of the scalp EEGs and MEGs. Thus,
in particular, gyri and sulci structures on the cortical surface have a definite possibility to influence the EEGs and MEGs.
This was examined by comparing the spatial power spectral density (PSD) of the upper portion of the human cortex in MRI slices
to that of simulated scalp EEGs and MEGs. The electrical activity was modeled with 2,650 dipolar sources oriented normal to
the local cortical surface. The resulting scalp potentials were calculated with a finite element model of the head constructed
from 51 segmented sagittal MR images. The PSD was computed after taking the fast Fourier transform of scalp potentials. The
PSD of the cortical contour in each slice was also computed. The PSD was then averaged over all the slices. This was done
for sagittal and coronal view both. The PSD of EEG and MEG showed two broad peaks, one from 0.05 to 0.22 cycles/cm (wavelength
20–4.545 cm) and the other from 0.22 to 1.2 cycles/cm (wavelength 4.545–0.834 cm). The PSD of the cortex showed a broad peak
from 0.08 to 0.32 cycles/cm (wavelength 12.5–3.125 cm) and other two peaks within the range of 0.32 to 0.9 cycles/cm (wavelength
3.125–1.11 cm). These peaks are definitely due to the gyri structures and associated larger patterns on the cortical surface.
Smaller peaks in the range of 1–3 cycles/cm were also observed which are possibly due to sulci structures. These results suggest
that the spatial information was present in the EEG and MEG at the spatial frequencies of gyri. This also implies that the
practical Nyquist frequency for sampling scalp EEGs should be 3.0 cycles/cm and an optimal interelectrode spacing of about
3 mm is needed for extraction of cortical patterns from scalp EEGs in humans. 相似文献

Background
The efficacy of pharmacological treatment in controlling childhood obesity is controversial. We aimed to compare the effects of three types of drug regimens and placebo on generalized and abdominal obesity among obese children and adolescents who did not succeed to lose weight 3 months after lifestyle modification (diet and exercise). 相似文献7.

BACKGROUND: Despite long-standing iodine supplementation in Iran, the prevalence of goiter remains high in some areas. This suggests other nutritional deficiencies may be considered as responsible factors of goiter persistence. Therefore, we assessed the prevalence of selenium deficiency in children living in a mountainous area in Iran to evaluate its correlation with goiter. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 1828 students from the 108 primary schools of urban and rural areas of Semirom in central Iran were selected by multistage random cluster sampling. After obtaining written consent from their parents, the children were examined for goiter grading. Grade 2 goitrous children (108 cases) were compared with non-goitrous children (111 children) as control group for serum selenium concentration. RESULTS: Overall, 36.7% of 1828 students had goiter. The mean and median urinary iodine excretion level was 19.3 and 18.5 mug/dl respectively. This was within normal limits. Of 219 evaluated cases, 109 children had selenium deficiency. Mean serum levels of selenium in the goitrous and control groups were 62.7 mug/l and 60.8 mug/l, respectively (p=0.42). There was a borderline significant difference of the goiter prevalence in selenium deficient and selenium sufficient subjects (40.8% vs. 54.3%, p=0.037).Twelve children had clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism. The mean (SD) serum selenium concentration of euthyroid and hypothyroid students were 61.9 (17.2) mug/l and 66.4 (11.9) mug/l respectively (p=0.35). CONCLUSION: In the area studied, selenium deficiency cannot explain high prevalence of goiter and other responsible factors should be investigated. Selenium deficiency may also have mild borderline significant protective effects on thyroid function and goiter. 相似文献

Chronic inflammation contributes to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We investigated whether treatment with salsalate, an anti-inflammatory medication, improves glycemia in a group of newly diagnosed drug-naïve patients with T2DM. The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Diagnosis of T2DM was made within 2 months of enrollment, and participants had not received any anti-glycemic agent. Sixty adults were randomized to receive salsalate (3 g/day) or placebo for 12 weeks. Fasting plasma glucose and insulin, glucose 2 h after 75 g oral glucose, HbA1C, lipid profile, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-B were determined before and after treatment. Salsalate reduced fasting glucose from 6.3 ± 0.2 mmol/l to 5.4 ± 0.2 mmol/l (P < 0.01) and TG from 1.9 ± 0.2 mmol/l to 1.5 ± 0.2 mmol/l (P < 0.03). Fasting insulin levels were increased in the salsalate group from 18.8 ± 1.6 to 21.6 ± 3.9, while they decreased in the placebo group. HbA1c rose in the placebo group from 6.2% ± 0.2 to 7.9% ± 1.1 mmol/mol, but decreased in the intervention group from 6.1% ± 0.5 to 5.6% ± 0.2 mmol/mol (P < 0.04 for between-group comparison). HOMA-IR did not change but HOMA-B increased ~1.7-fold (P = 0.06) in the salsalate group. The results show that salsalate is effective in improving glycemic control in newly diagnosed naïve patients with T2DM. The optimal duration of treatment with salsalate and sustainability of its effect requires further study (IRCT138709011465N1). 相似文献

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the intra-rater reliability and validity of a designed load cell setup for the measurement of back extensor muscle force and endurance. Participants: The study sample included 19 older women with hyperkyphosis, mean age 67.0 ± 5.0 years, and 14 older women without hyperkyphosis, mean age 63.0 ± 6.0 years. Methods: Maximum back extensor force and endurance were measured in a sitting position with a designed load cell setup. Tests were performed by the same examiner on two separate days within a 72-hour interval. The intra-rater reliability of the measurements was analyzed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard errors of measurement (SEM), and minimal detectable change (MDC). The validity of the setup was determined using Pearson correlation analysis and independent t-test. Results: Using our designed load cell, the values of ICC indicated very high reliability of force measurement (hyperkyphosis group: 0.96, normal group: 0.97) and high reliability of endurance measurement (hyperkyphosis group: 0.82, normal group: 0.89). For all tests, the values of SEM and MDC were low in both groups. A significant correlation between two documented forces (load cell force and target force) and significant differences in the muscle force and endurance among the two groups were found. Conclusion: The measurements of static back muscle force and endurance are reliable and valid with our designed setup in older women with and without hyperkyphosis. 相似文献
