Introduction: Based on high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in menopausal woman, this research was performed to investigate the effect of the medicinal plants on sexual function in menopausal women.Materials and Methods: In this systematic review of clinical trials, Persian relevant articles were identified through a systematic search of databases from 2000 to 2021 ,using the keywords of (female sexual dysfunction, sexual function, sexual satisfaction, sexual behavior, sexual activity, menopause, Post menopause, Herbal medicine , Medicinal plants, herbal materials, phytoestrogens, phytotherapy, Randomized Clinical Trials.The Jadad scale was used to assess the quality of the retrieved articlesResults: In final twelve articles were analyzed. The studied plants were ginkgo biloba, fennel, st johns wort, palm pollen, fenugreek, afrodit, , hop, black cohosh, lavender, ginseng, saffron, red clover, Tribulus terrestris, nigella sativa and vitex agnus castus and hybrid aromatherapy (fennel, Heracleum persicum, salvia officinalis, bergamot, lavender and geranium) that were studied on different dimensions of sexual function.Conclusion: Based on the results of studies, most plants were effective in improving sexual function. Although due to the limited number of studies performed for each plant, it was not possible to perform meta-analysis in this study, so it is recommended to conduct more studies in relation to each plant to provide sufficient evidence to decide on the use of each Herbs are offered as less dangerous and less expensive treatments to improve sexual function in menopausal women.

Introduction: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have several adverse effects on human health and environment in the short and long term. In this study, a systematic review of the studies carried out to date on the removal of PAHs from contaminated soils by electrokinetic method and determining the parameters affecting this process has been investigated. Materials and Methods: This research is a systematic review study. For this purpose, the keywords related to PAHs pollutants and electrokinetic methods were first prepared. Search in scientific databases including Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed was done. After completion of the search, the findings of search was transferred to the Endnote software and screening was done to reach articles that are fully related to the subject. Results: A total of 571 articles were found until September 10, 2018 from the mentioned data basis. Then, 10 studies were carefully reviewed after removing duplicates and non-compliant items. The included studies were from 2000 to 2017. In 3 studies, electrochemical methods with surfactants and biosurfactants were used. Four studies utilized biodegradation techniques along with electro-kinetics. Combination of the electrokinetic with other processes can increase the efficiency of this process in removing PAHs from soil in a short period (less than 1 month). Conclusion: Considering the influence of different parameters on the process, it is recommended to conduct a pilot test to optimize the process before the implementation of this method.

Background and purpose of the study: Nowadays, quality of life is largely associated with social capital and its components such as groups and networks, trust and solidarity, collective action and social cohesion, the present research was conducted to investigate the Relationship of social capital and quality of life in the Iranian population. Materials and methods: The following databases were searched in both English and Persian languages: PubMed, Science Direct, CINAHL, SID, Iran medex, Magiran, Web of Science, Google Scholar, EBSCO and Scopus. Search terms included: social capital, quality of life, Iran. Articles were included if the published between 2010 and 2017 .An investigation of 209 articles initially led to the selection of 20 articles which met the inclusion criteria. Findings: The sample size ranged from 140 to 20,670. In rural communities, cooperation, integration and social participation had the highest impact on the quality of life. Among university students, social relations showed to significant and positive relation with quality of life. Among the elderly, integration and unity showed to be strongly correlated whereas social trust showed a weak correlation with the quality of life. Conclusion: Social capital is a good predictor of the quality of life in different social classes. Paving the way for the growth of group work in voluntary forums, expansion of interpersonal relations, establishment of public and private organizations, more participation of people and expanding the culture of trust among people can promote the quality of life and social capital.

Background and purpose: The aim of the present study was to systematic review for the influence of aerobic and anaerobic exercise of the acute and chronic on selected markers of oxidative Stress based on the animal and human studies published in persian journals. Methods and Materials: This present was performed on articles published up to 1 August 2014. Databases such as Magiran, SID and Scholar Google searched for terms: Oxidative Stress, SOD, MDA, Exercise And Training. All the relevant Persian written articles were evaluated by two independent researchers and relevant articles with moderate and high qualities was selected for systematic review. Articles (of total 1163 articles) were evaluated by reading their title, abstracts and full text; 38 full text articles evaluated and only 22 of them fulfilled the inclusion criteria and entered the review. Results: In human studies it was found that regular aerobic exercises lead to a significant and non-significant increase in MDA values. On the other hand, a significant increase was detected in SOD values in the exercising group compared to the control group following 8 weeks of aerobic exercise. However, based on findings from animal research domain, it was found that implementation of at least 8 weeks of aerobic exercise is necessary for down regulation of MDA values and 6 weeks for up regulation of profit values. Conclusion: Present study indicates the lack of high-quality reports on the impact of regular aerobic or anaerobic exercises on resting levels or in response to a bout of intense exercise, especially on human subjects and the few reports of average quality did not also represent a homogeneous finding.
