Afraz Introduction: Silent myocardial infarction is a kind of infarction that could not be diagnose at onset except casually. Objective: The aim of this study was comparing the prevalence of opium addiction in silent with non-silent myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: A consecutive series of 676 patients (male 495, female 181) with diagnosis of Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI) by resting ECG (with or without previous history of MI) in a cardiovascular private clinic in Rasht were selected. Results: Silent MI (SMI) was observed in 231 (34.2%) of patients. The prevalence of opium smoking in non-silent MI (NSMI) was higher than SMI (17.5% vs. 6.5%, P<0.001). The prevalence of opium users (smoking and oral) in NSMI was higher than SMI (20.4% vs. 10.8%, P<0.005). The prevalence of oral users in SMI (4.3%) was not significantly (NS) higher than NSMI (2.9%), P=NS. Mean age (P<0.0001), sex (female) (P<0.0001), Hypertension (just in males)(P<0.0001) diabetes mellitus (P<0.05), and stroke (Just in male)(P<0.005) were higher in SMI than NSMI. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that: 1-Opium addiction is not an associated factor with SMI. 2-the associated factors of SMI are: Older age, sex (female), Diabetes Mellitus, hypertension, and stroke (in male patients).

In cases of drug resistance, Allopurinol is prescribed as alternative therapy. Objective: In this in vitro study Allopurinol effects were assessed on L. Tropica resistant Types. Materials and Methods: The L. Tropica Promastigote species were cultured in increasing concentrations of Glucantim to obtain the resistant type to 250 mg/ml. After cytological evaluation of all resistant types, Allopurinol effects were measured by count and by growth percentage of both wild and resistant types. The differences of these variables were then compared in and between species. Results: Promastigotes of resistant type were decreased in dimension, their tails got thicker and shorter or even disappeared, and cytoplasm got dentate while kinetoplast moved next to nucleus. Allopurinol decreased growth percentage and the number of both resistant and wild Promastigotes. But growth percentage of resistant type was significantly less than Wild type for all Allopurinol concentrations. Conclusion: Mechanisms of Glucantim resistance lead to morphological and growth rate changes. In agreement to precedent clinical studies the in vitro resistant type of L. Tropica Promastigotes were more sensitive to Allopurinol, although Allopurinol is effective on both wild and resistant species.

Magnesium is one of the most important ions disturbance of this ion, causes hemodynamic instability, Cardiovascular dysfunction, Seizure, muscle weakness, Failure of weaning and influence other ions concentration. Objective: The onset time of magnesium imbalance after trauma and how does trauma mechanism interfere it, is the aim of this observational study. The aim of our study was survey the influence of kind of injury on magnesiume imbalance. Materials and Methods: In this Analytical study serum Magnesium (Mg) in patients with head trauma compared with patients with extremities trauma at admission time in ICU. We studied 30 head injury and 30 patients with extremities trauma during 1380. Two groups were same in age and sex and had no medical history. (PS I, II) 24 hour after trauma patients was admitted in I.C.U and blood sample was taken for evaluating serum Mg. [with calorimetric spectrophotometry (Reagent: Xylidylblue)]. Our Statistical Analysis was Chi- square. Results: Results showed that mean serum Mg of head trauma patients was 1.84 0.19 meq / L which was significantly lower than extremities trauma (2.23 ‏ 0.29meq/ L, P < 0.02). Conclusion: This study showed that serum Mg in patients with head trauma decreases sooner and more sever than extremities trauma and concerning this on the first course of treatment in ICU and proper correction should be in mind.
