Introduction: Psychological factors such as obsessive beliefs, depression and anxiety have a major impact not only on the mental and physical health of individuals but also on the treatment, recovery and relapse of the disease. The aim of this research was to compare obsessive beliefs, depression and anxiety among inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients and healthy people. Materials and Methods: This research is a descriptive and causal-comparative study. Using purposeful sampling, 150 people, including 50 healthy subjects, 50 patients with inflammatory bowel disease and 50 patients with GERD were selected as the sample. Data were collected using the Obsessive Belief Questionnaire, the Depression Questionnaire and the Anxiety Inventory and was analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that there are significant differences (p<0/001) between IBD and GERD and healthy people in obsessive beliefs, depression and anxiety. The mean of obsessive beliefs in IBD patients (119/744±15/423) was higher than the other two groups (p<0/001). Also, depression (12/489±2/941) and Anxiety (16/881±5/735) in IBD patients were higher than the other two groups. Conclusion: According to the results, there is a significant difference between the inflammatory bowel disease and healthy people in the components of obsessive beliefs, depression and anxiety. So, there may be psycho-neuro-immunologic relationship between obsessive beliefs with inflammatory bowel disease, mediated by depression and anxiety.

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most important public health issues in different countries around the world. The disease is common, asymptomatic and often indistinguishable. If the risk factors of the disease which include an inappropriate diet, obesity, low activity and exercise, smoking, consumption of alcohol and stress are not controlled, the disease can lead to fatal complications in the absence of treatment. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between hypertension and its related risk factors in people over 30 years of age living in Isfahan.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational research was conducted in 2013-2014. This study was conducted with a sample of 4900 men and women selected by using a simple and cluster sampling method in the city of Isfahan.
The research instrument was a researcher-developed questionnaire containing demographic characteristics and information about risk factors for hypertension. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical tests in the SPSS software version 18.
Results: The results showed that the mean age of the units was 48.57 ± 11.28 years and the mean BMI was 26.71 ± 4.1 kg/m2. The mean of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the studied units were 12.45 ± 16.6 mmHg and 78.47 ± 10.42 mmHg, respectively. Also, there was a direct correlation between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure with age, BMI and waist circumference (p<0.001). The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between sex and hypertension. In males (13.9%) it was higher than females ( 98.9%) (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study provide a real picture of the underlying causes of people's attitude toward hypertension in the population of Isfahan residents. It is recommended to take these results into consideration in the design and implementation of any interventional program for the control and prevention of hypertension in this area.

Introduction: Considering the high prevalence of anxiety and the need to investigate the effectiveness of psychological interventions in helping people with anxiety, this study aimed to explore the effectiveness of acceptance- and commitment-based therapy on social adjustment, psychological well-being and self-criticism in people with anxiety in the city of Ahvaz. Materials and Methods: This study was of an educational trial type in which the research population consisted of all the people with anxiety referring to clinics in the city of Ahvaz. From this population, 40 persons were selected using the convenience sampling method as the sample and were then assigned to each of the experimental and control groups using the simple random sampling method. The research design was experimental with a pretest-posttest and a control group. Data were collected using the social adjustment questionnaire, psychological well-being questionnaire and self-confidence questionnaire. In the experimental group, an intervention-based treatment, based on admission and commitment, was performed one session a week for eight weeks, each session lasting 120 minutes. Both groups took a post-test at the end of the intervention and after a two-month follow up. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance analysis using version 18 of the SPSS software. Results: The results showed that the intervention in the experimental group was based on all the three variables of social adjustment (F = 8.74, p= 0.000), psychological well-being (F = 39.31, p= 0.000) and self-criticism (F = 34/92 and p=000/0). Conclusion: The results of data analysis indicate the effect of acceptance- and commitment-based therapy on improving the psychological status of people with anxiety. Therefore, the use of this therapeutic approach by clinical therapists is recommended in treating people with anxiety.

Introduction: Inserting visual warning messages on packets and cigarette packets is a strategy for reducing smoking. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of drawing images (neutral and disgusting) on the pattern of brain waves in smoking people.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a clinical trial. The statistical population of this study included all the male students of Tabriz University during the period of 2017-18. To record brain waves, electrodes were placed in the FP1 area. The participants watched a white screen for 2 minutes from a distance of 90 centimeters from the computer (the resting state). Neutralizing and disgusting images were then displayed each for 2 minutes. As the images were being displayed, the frequency bands alpha, theta, alpha, beta rhythm a little sensory and electroencephalographic waste were simultaneously recorded. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis.
Results: The results indicated that there was a significant main effect of recording (p<0.001), a significant main effect of frequency band (p<0.001) and a significant interaction between recording mode and frequency band (p<0.001). In other words, explosive packages lead to a different magnetic reaction than the neutral packages.
Conclusion: It is suggested that disgusting images be inserted on the cover of cigarette packs to cause severe brain reactions and more repulsion in smokers.

Introduction: Due to the significant role of PGC1α in glucose metabolism, insulin has also been induced by the Myokines with sports activities, which is reduced with type 2 diabetes. The gene expression of PGC1α in diabetic people is reduced up to 50%. The purpose of this study was to explore the Effect of 8 weeks of resistance training on IRISIN plasma serum and the gene expression of PGC1α cardiac muscle in (streptozetosin) induced diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods: Sixteen male Wistar rats with an average weight of 200 ± 20 g were randomly assigned to one of the two groups of the diabetic control (n = 8) and the diabetic resistance (n = 8) and were kept in vitro. The experimental group received resistance training for 8 weeks. The following factors were measured: Blood samples were taken and then their heart was abroad and using the Real Time-PCR method, the gene expression of PGC1α of the left ventricle were measured. Independent sample t-test was used.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the average Irisin (p=0/002), gene expression of PGC1α (p=0/001), glucose level (p=0/001) and insulin (p=0/004) between the resistance diabetic group and the control diabetic group.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it seems that resistance training is recommended as an important strategy for improving the gene expression of PGC1α and glucose metabolism in diabetics. Therefore, it can be considered as an effective interference method.

Introduction: Sensory and motor skills in autistic children are at a low level. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a selected sensory integrity training program on motor skills and body composition of children with autism in the city of Tabriz. Materials and Methods: This is an educational study. In this study, from among the autistic boys in the city of Tabriz in 2018, 40 people were randomly selected after the definite diagnosis of psychiatric disorders by a psychiatrist and based on diagnostic criteria and were then assigned to one of the two experimental and control groups. The research instruments included the Brininx-Oresetsky Expedition Test, the Physical Fitness Machine, and the training protocol for selected sensory integrity. The experimental group received 12 sessions of 90 minutes for sensory integrity training for 3 months, but the control group did not receive any training. The collected data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance analysis. Results: The results of the analysis of the collected data showed a significant difference in the post-test scores between the experimental and control groups in their coarse and delicate motor skills (p<0.001). Therefore, it can be claimed that the sensory integrity program improves the level of coarse and delicate motor skills and also improves the body composition in children with autism (p<0.001) Conclusion: Based on the results obtained in the present study, a sensory integrity training program can be used to improve the performance of individuals with autism. Therefore, parents of autistic children can use these methods to improve mental health in their children.
