Factors affecting employment according to field of study in Nursing graduates Qazvin (2013)

The present research is a descriptive and cross sectional with the aim of analyzing the factors affect the employment matching the field of study for nursing graduates studying in Qazvin medical science university in 2013. Data were collected on 406 students of B.S. who were graduated from the School of Nursing and Midwifery during 2007-2011. The information was gathered through a questionnaire that its validity and reliability were confirmed and it was done by telephone call with recording conversations, visiting and e-mail. Data were described as the frequency of distribution, number and percent. The results showed that, the most of graduates worked as a nurse and lake of employment is related to personal reasons. The work load and low income were the main of these reasons. Thus, according to the importance of this job for the society, focusing on increasing the income and creating facilitation regarding the situation and difficulties can provide a situation that every nursing graduate start to work as a nurse.

Frequency of TNFR1 36 A/G gene polymorphism in azoospermic infertile men: A case-control study

Background: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-&alpha;) is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates different cellular activities related to spermatogenesis. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor 1 (TNFR1) mediates TNF-&alpha; activity and polymorphism in TNFR1 could lead to gene dysfunction and male infertility. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the association of TNFR1 36 A/G polymorphism with the idiopathic azoospermia in Iranian population. Materials and Methods: This case-control study included 108 azoospermic and 119 fertile men. This research investigated the frequency of TNFR1 36 A/G polymorphism in cases who were idiopathic azoospermic men referred to Yazd Research and Clinical Center for Infertility, Iran in comparison with controls. polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to investigate the polymorphism in both case and control groups. PCR fragments were digested by Mspa1I enzyme and products were appeared by gel electrophoresis. The abundance of A&rarr;G was calculated in the azoospermic and healthy men. Results: According to the present study, GG and AG genotypes frequency in the azoospermic men group were higher than the control group (OR= 2.298 (1.248-4.229), p=0.007), (OR=1.47 (0.869-2.498, p=0.149). Our findings also showed that G allele frequency in azoospermic men had significant difference compared to the control group (OR=2.302 (1.580-3.355), p<0.001). Conclusion: It seems that the GG genotype and G allele have an association with increased risk of non-obstructive azoospermi
