Introduction: Medical tourism, as a growing industry, has provided opportunities for gaining competitive advantages for health care organizations in Yazd province. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between hospital capabilities and medical tourism development in Yazd city in 2018. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 nurses and doctors in Yazd hospitals in 2018. The data collection tool was a valid and reliable 25-item questionnaire consisting of the demographic and hospital capabilities questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using SPSS by running Pearson correlation test, linear regression, independent t-test, and ANOVA. : The results showed that the highest and lowest mean and standard deviations were related to the cost of services (3.88 ± 0.98) and equipment (3.50±0.63), respectively. Moreover, according to the multiple linear regression, equipment had the highest positive and significant impact on the development of medical tourism (β = 0.498). Conclusion: Yazd province is considered as a medical tourist attraction pole in south of Iran; therefore, special conditions should be provided for the development of medical tourism in this province. As a result, it is necessary to improve the quality of medical services at the provincial hospitals by taking measures such as providing welfare facilities for patients and their entourage, training the hospitals' personnel, establishing a brand for the province in the field of treatment.

AbstractObjective:To propose an approach for investigation of the relationship between the frequency of carbohydrates intake and dental caries in real-life conditions.Design:The frequency of separate eating events (with the exclusion of lunch and dinner) and their sugars and starch content were assessed on the basis of diaries collected for seven consecutive days. The total number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) was assessed through clinical examination. The interrelation between DMFT and frequency of eating events was analysed through Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise forward linear regression analysis.Setting:Italy.Subjects:One hundred and ninety-three students (males and females, mean age 16 years) of a secondary school.Results:Individual DMFT varied between 0 (24% of subjects) and 12, with a mean of 3. Once lunch and dinner were excluded, the mean number of separate eating events was 2.9. A statistically significant relationship was found between DMFT and eating frequency thus defined. Correlations were calculated considering only eating events containing a proportion of sugars or starch higher than different cut-off levels. In a stepwise multiple regression model for DMFT, the frequency of ‘high sugars and high starch events’ accounted for 8% of the DMFT variance. Overall frequency of separate eating events defined according to their content of both sugars and starch accounted for 18% of the DMFT variance. A stronger correlation was found among males only.Conclusions:The precise characterisation of eating events in terms of their sugars and starch content allows us to explain a consistent percentage of the variability in DMFT.

Macrophage and Schwann cells are target cell on leprosy disease, where apoptotic is assumed as one of elimination mechanism of macrophage previously infected by M.leprae. Several study showed various result in apoptotic on leprosy disease. Apoptotic level can be evaluated by observing caspase-3 activity, an executioner caspase on cell death. This study is aimed to observe the relationship of caspase-3 expression with paucibacillary and multibacillary types of leprosy. We used observational analytic and cross sectional study with consecutive sampling method. The subject was leprosy patient which had been diagnosed on dermatovenereology division outpatient clinic Saiful Anwar Hospital, and fullfilled the inclusion-exclusion criteria. Total subject was 19 persons (11 multibacillary and 8 paucibacillary). Sampling was taken with punch biopsy on skin lession, followed by immunohistochemical staining with caspase-3 antibody, and caspase-3 expression was measured by ImmunoRatio method. Comparation test revealed significant difference (p<0.05%) between caspase-3 expression mean on paucibacillary patient (84.46%) compared to multibacillary patient (65.39%). Pearson correlation test revealed caspase-3 expression tend to be higher in paucibacillary patient than multibacillary (coefficient correlation -0.759). In conclusion, there is a significance relationship between caspase-3 expression with leprosy type.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum levels of OPG, TGF-β1, and TGF-β2 and BMD decrease rate (BDR) in native Chinese women. This cross-sectional study was performed on 465 healthy native Chinese women aged 35–80 years. Serum levels of OPG, TGF-β1, and TGF-β2 were determined. BDR was measured by DXA at the posteroanterior spine, hip, and distal forearm. At all skeletal sites tested, there was a negative correlation between BDR and serum levels of both OPG (r=−0.122to –0.230, allP= 0.007–0.000) and TGF-β2 (r=−0.100to –0.173, allP= 0.029–0.000) and a positive correlation between BDR and serum TGF-β1 (r=0.245−0.365, allP=0.000). After adjustment for age and BMI, there were no statistically significant correlations between serum levels of OPG or TGF-β2 and BDR. However, statistically significant correlations between serum TGF-β1 and BDR at the lumbar spine and ultradistal forearm remained. Multiple linear regression stepwise analysis showed that serum OPG could explain 1.4–3.7% of BDR variation. Serum TGF-β1 was a positive determinant of BDR and could explain 5.3–13.3% of BDR variation.
