    زمینه و هدف: امید زندگی یکی از اندازه های خلاصه، برای سلامت جمعیت است که مقادیر و روند تغییرات آن در طول زمان، نتیجه اصلی عملکرد نظام سلامت را نشان می دهد. این مطالعه با هدف برآورد تغییرات امید زندگی در طی سالهای 1384 تا 1388 در استان چهارمحال و بختیاری انجام گردید. روش بررسی: این مطالعه توصیفی اپیدمیولوژیک که به بررسی امید زندگی با استفاده از اطلاعات جمعیتی (آمار موجود در مرکز بهداشت استان) و مرگ و میر (بر اساس داده های کشوری ثبت مرگ) بر حسب سن و جنس در سال های 1384، 1385، 1386 و 1388 در استان چهارمحال و بختیاری می پردازد. اطلاعات با استفاده از فرمول های آماری و جمعیت شناسی و ساخت جدول عمر با توجه به دستورالعمل سازمان جهانی بهداشت به کمک نرم افزارهای Excel و PAS (Population Analysis Spreadsheets) تجزیه و تحلیل گردید. یافته ها: امید زندگی در کل جمعیت استان در سال های 1384، 1385 و 1386 به ترتیب 03/70 سال (مردان 7/68 و زنان 49/71 سال)، 24/72 سال (مردان 55/70 و زنان 08/74 سال) و 38/72 سال (مردان 97/70 و زنان 95/73 سال) بوده و همچنین در سال 1388 امید زندگی در مردان به 14/72 و در زنان به 38/75 و در کل جمعیت به 7/73 سال افزایش یافت. نتیجه گیری: امید زنـــدگی در استان چهارمحال و بختیاری در زنان بیشتر از مردان بوده و روند آن در طی سال های مورد بررسی رو به افزایش بوده است

    This study investigated the potential effect of cold plasma on reducing residues of pesticides diazinon and chlorpyrifos in apples and cucumbers and its effects on property of products. Two separate concentrations of each pesticide with 500 and 1,000 ppm were prepared and the samples were inoculated by dipping them into the solutions. All samples treated with pesticides were exposed to cold plasma in a monopole cold plasma apparatus (DBD) run at 10 and 13 kV voltages. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was used to remove pesticide residues from the samples. Eventually, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure the amount of pesticides in the samples. Also, to investigate generated metabolites, extracts were injected into a GC/MS apparatus. In addition, the eff ects of cold plasma on humidity, tissue hardness, color and the sugar percentage of products were analyzed. Th e results revealed that treatment of samples with cold plasma considerably reduced pesticide residues without leaving any traces of harmful or toxic substances. Furthermore, it did not have any undesirable effects on the color and texture of the samples. The efficiency of this method increased with higher voltage and longer exposure time. In general, the best results were obtained by the combination of 500 ppm concentration, 10 min exposure and 13 kV voltages. The residues of diazinon were reduced better than the residues of chlorpyrifos. Apples were detoxified much better than cucumbers. Also, cold plasma treatment transformed diazinon and chlorpyrifos pesticides into their less toxic metabolites. The results showed that with increased voltage and longer exposure time, cold plasma caused few changes in moisture and glucose content, texture hardness and color of products. There were no significant difference between treated samples and control in all treatments
