Introduction: Preeclampsia and eclampsia are pregnancy specific syndromes. Vitamin D is one of the pathological factors of this syndrome. The aim of this study was to compare the serum levels of vitamin D in pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia with healthy pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, 50 pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia and 50 healthy individuals were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and after taking blood sampling, serum vitamin D levels were measured using a commercial kit and ELISA. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS: 20. P <0.05 was considered as significant difference.
Results: The mean serum vitamin D in pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia was lower than the healthy group (P = 0.002). Also, 38% and 2% of pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia and healthy had severe vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was more common in pregnant women over 30 years of age and BMI over 25, education less than a diploma, a housewife, and a gestational age of less than 34 weeks.
Conclusion: The results indicate that most pregnant women with preeclampsia and eclampsia syndrome are deficient in vitamin D, which affect in the development of preeclampsia or eclampsia. Therefore, timely screening and treatment of vitamin D deficiency can probably prevent preeclampsia or eclampsia and promote the quality of pregnancy.

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women of infertility. Women with PCOS are at high risk for early cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative stress, inflammatory factors and other cardiovascular risk factors in patients with PCOS. Materials and methods: In this case-control study, 50 women with PCOS and 50 healthy women referred to Zahedan Infertility Clinic who were matched for age and BMI were selected by convenient sampling method. Anthropometric parameters, biochemical tests, C3 and C4 complements, TAC and MDA levels were measured in all subjects. Data were analyzed using independent t-test and analysis of variance at the significant level P Results: Results showed that mean waist circumference (P = 0.048), systolic blood pressure (P <0.01) and diastolic (P = 0.048), serum LDLC levels (P = 0.05) and MDA (P <0.0001) were significantly higher in women with PCOS and serum HDL-C levels (P = 0.03) and TAC (P = 0.05) were significantly lower than control group. Mean serum levels of C3 and C4 were higher in the PCOS group than in the control group, but this difference was only significant for C3 (P = 0.03) . Conclusion: The findings showed that levels of dyslipidemia, oxidative stress and inflammatory factors were higher in PCOS women with abdominal obesity. Thus, screening of these factors and weight management, especially in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, is recommended in treatment strategy.

Background & purpose: Ma-al-Shaeerisanon-alcoholicbeer which usually consumed in the younger generation in Islamic countries. It is regarded as having antioxidant compounds and in additiontohavingthe desirable organoleptic properties. Therefore, thisstudy designed to determine the effect of non- alcoholic beer (Ma-al-Shaeer) intake on the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levelsinyoung people.
Material & Methods: In an interventional study,50 students including; 25 girls and 25 boys were selectedas simple random. Then,4ml ofblood was takenfroman individual before and after consumption of 240 millitr Ma-al-Shaeer respectively .After separating the serum, total antioxidant levels was measured by Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) method. Thespectrophotometric method was used for measuring the level sof uric acid and total thiols (Hu's method). Statistical analysis was done by software SPSS, version 17. It was used for determination mean, standard deviation, number and percent and also one-way ANOVA test for comparison of variables. P <0.05 was considered as significant difference between two groups.
Results: The mean age of samples 20±1.2 year. It was observed significant differenceinmean of total antioxidant level in subjectsbefore and after intervention (1312.3±301 μ mol /lvs.1374.4±345 μ mol/l) (P= 0.0001). But, there was no significant differenceinserumuricacidlevels of subjects. It was observed significant difference between mean serum levels of totalthiols of subjects in before and after intervention (0.42 ± 0.22 mg/ dl vs. 0.59 ± 0.18 mg/dl) (P= 0.0001). There was a significantpositive correlation between consumption of total antioxidant level and totalthiol of subjects in before(r=1, P< 0.0005) and after (r= 1, P< 0.0005) intervention respectively.
Conclusion: Results showed thatnon-alcoholic drink Ma-al-Shaeer dramatically increased serum TAC and protein thiols in subjects. According to effect of antioxidant in health, it seems increase of antioxidant power in Ma-al-Shaeer can be analyzed which requires to more extensive investigation.

Background and purpose: Dental caries is one of the most common infectious diseases dependingon nutrition. The aim of this studywas to investigate the relationship between the food intakes, obesity and dental caries among 6-11 years old children,referred to the pediatric clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry, Zahedan.
Materials and methods: This descriptive-analyticalstudy was performed on 79 children aged6-11 year-old. Dental caries was determined using DMFT. The body mass index (BMI) was usedto evaluate obesity and also asemi-quantitativefood frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was usedto assessfood intakes.
Results: The results showed that the prevalence of caries (≥4) amongoverweight and obese children was significantly more than other children(P>0.05 ).The results of food frequency showed that all childrenexcept those receivedmilk and dairyproducts, received fruits and vegetables from other food groups.There was a significant negative correlation between dental caries with mean consumption of milk and dairy products and fruits and vegetables,and a significant positive correlation with BMI and frequency of sweets consumption.
Conclusion:In the present study, obesity, cariogenic snacks, reducing the consumption of dairy products, fruits and vegetables have been proposed as risk factors for dental caries among children.Considering the importance of teeth in public health of children, education of parents and children regarding a balanced diet is essential.
