The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of nanocellulose conjugated with poly-lysine to remove fumonisin B1 in the different foodstuffs. Methods: First, nanocellulose was synthesized by acid hydrolysis, modified by citric acid, and conjugated with poly-lysine by cross-linker. In the next step, four foodstuffs including wheat flour, maize flour, rice flour, and cucumber were prepared, and serial concentrations of fumonisin B1 were added to them. Then, conjugated nanocellulose (2000 µg/mL) was separately added to each tube, and after incubation, the exact concentration of toxin in each tube was analyzed by HPLC. Finally, the percentage of adsorption for each tube was calculated, according to control. Results: This study revealed that although the nanoparticles could adsorb fumonisin B1 in the all foodstuffs, but the highest adsorption (95%) was seen for cucumber. Also, results showed that there is direct relation between the percentage of adsorption and the initial concentration of fumonisin B1. Conclusions: In this study, for the first time, nanocellulose conjugated with poly-lysine was introduced as fumonisin B1 adsorbent, and may be used for removal of the toxin in the various foodstuffs.}, Keywords = {fumonisin B1, adsorbent, nanocellulose, poly-lysine, foodstuff}, volume = {13}, Number = {6}, pages = {1-10}, publisher = {Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd}, url = {http://tbj.ssu.ac.ir/article-1-1369-en.html}, eprint = {http://tbj.ssu.ac.ir/article-1-1369-en.pdf}, journal = {Tolooebehdasht}, issn = {1728-5127}, eissn = {2538-1598}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Malakotian, M and Hashemi, H}, title = {New Methods Analysis of Nitrate Removal from Water Resources}, abstract ={Introduction: Nitrate is known as a major water pollutant.

For this reason some ways to remove diesel fuel from soil were developed by a number of researchers. The aim of this research is to extract bio-surfactant for treating soil contaminated with diesel fuel. Methods: In this study, 4 soil samples were taken from fields that had been exposed to diesel fuel over the years. The microorganisms that were able to produce bio-surfactant and remove diesel fuel were isolated from these samples. Ability of microorganisms to produce bio-surfactant was evaluated by emulsification test (E24). Finally solved bio-surfactant into nutrients culture was extracted and measured. Results: Four strains of bacteria were isolated in this study. Results indicated that all bacteria were gram negative. The highest emulsification index was obtained from bacteria isolated from gas fuel station soil. In this study 1.1 gram of bio-surfactant was extracted per one liter of nutrients culture containing bacteria.

So the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and barriers to mammography in close relatives of breast cancer patients in sirjan. Methods: The study population consisted of 65 women, all close relatives (First-degree relatives including sister, mother and daughter and Second-degree relatives, including aunts and uncles) of breast cancer patients in the city of Sirjan by the year 1387 to the year 1391. Data were collected by the perceived barriers section of champion's Health Belief Model Scales (CHBMS) and were analyzed by spss19 Software, using chi-square, independent T and Kendall’ W tests. Results: of participants, 86.1% were first-degree relatives (sister, mother and daughter) and 13.8% of them were second-degree relatives (aunts and uncles) of women with breast cancer and most of them were under 50 years of age. Despite the fact that, 88.9 % were housewife, 84.6% had an insurance coverage and 75.4 % had less than 10 km away mammography center, only 15.4 % of them had a mammogram. There was no significant difference in the mean score of perceived barriers to mammography among women who did (25.93) and those who did not (26.33) a mammogram. The only significant difference in mean score of perceived barriers was seen in the proportion of participant with breast cancer patients (p= 0/01). While the cost of mammography with a mean order of 7.85, fear of finding breast cancer with a mean order of 6.72 and mammography painfulness with a mean order of 5.97 were the greatest perceived barriers to mammography. Conclusion: As high cost of mammography is one of the most important perceived barriers requires that health services system, reduce mammography cost through provision of services in public centers and using more insurance coverage. Also, health professionals, should explain that the cost of a mammogram is minimal compared to the cost of treatment and encourage mammography in women at high risk.
