Abstract
Background & Objective: Transureteral lithotripsy is an effective procedure in lower ureteral stone. This study was done to evaluate lithotripsy method in pediatric ureteral stones in Mashhad’s Imam-Reza Hospital. Materials & Methods: In our institute 38 patients went under ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for ureteral stones. Mean age in our patients was 6.8 years (Range 2-13 years). 16 patients were male and 22 patients were female. The mean stone size was 7 mm (Range 6-16 mm). Ultrasonography and KUB or IVP was performed in all cases. After general anesthesia and cystoscopy guide wire introduced in ureter, ureteroscopy were performed for lithotripsy used ultrasound pneumatic or electrohydrolic. Results: Stone were located in the distal ureter in 32 patients, in the midureter in 4 and in the proximal ureter in 2 cases. Ureteroscopy was successfully in 35 cases. Lithotripsy was used: Ultrasound, electrohydrolic or pneumatic. We were unable to introduce the ureteroscope into the ureter in 3 patients. In 3 patients stone migrated to the kidney after ureteroscopy. Then, they candidated for ESWL. Stone free was done in 32 cases (85%). A complication was 25% and treated with medical treatment. Conclusion: Our investigation demonstrates the high success rate ureteroscopy in pediatric group especially with a small caliber ureteroscope. Ureteroscopy should be considered the first choice for treatments of calculi in the distal ureter in children.

Abstract
Background & Objective: Aluminum (Al), the 3rd common element in the earth’s crust has a significant toxin potential for humans. Although the knowledge of Al toxicity has markedly improved in recent years, there is relatively little information regarding the embryotoxic and teratogenic potential of Al. the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of short-term exposure of pregnant mice to Aluminum Chloride on the external organ formation of their fetuses. Materials & Methods: Mature NMRI mice (24-33 g) were used in this study. Day 0 of pregnancy defined as the day in which the vaginal plug was found. Plug-positive mice were randomly divided into size groups. The first, second and 3rd groups of animals were given IP injection of single dose of AlCl3 at 150 mg/kg/day on days 10, 11 and 12 of gestation respectively. Mice in the 3 other groups (Controls) received single injection of 0.3 ml saline on days 10, 11 and 12 respectively. Mice were killed on day 15 of gestation. Live fetuses were weighed and examined for external abnormalities. Results: The fetal body weight was significantly reduced in all Al-treated groups (P<0.05). The proportions of external malformations in 10th, 11th and 12th days treated were 47.0%, 37.0% and 33.1% groups respectively with significantly increase comparing to controls (P<0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that a single dose of the Al administered to pregnant mice can cause external malformations in their fetuses.

Abstract
Background & Objective: Hydrocele is fluid accumulation between the two layers of tunica vaginalis which commonly seen in male patients. Hydrocele is divided as communicating and non communicating categories. There are different methods for treatment of adult non communicating hydrocele which principally consist of aspiration and sclerotherapy, and various surgical techniques. The aim of this study is to evaluate outcomes and complications of a new closed hydrocelectomy technique and comparison with excisional hydrocelectomy procedures. Materials & Methods: In this clinical trial study, we divided all adult patients who refered for surgery of non communicating hydrocele to Imam Reza and Qaem hospital in Mashhad-Iran into two groups during 2004 to 2006. The inclusion criterion was simple non communicating hydrocele without any underlying pathology in adult patients who agreed with this new technique. In the first group (Group I) 23 patients with 24 hydroceles underwent closed hydrocelectomy using a catheter (shunt) between scrotal subcutaneous tissue and the hydrocele sac. In the second group (group II) 29 patients with 29 hydroceles underwent excisional hydrocelectomy. Follow up was possible in 21 cases of group I and 23 cases of group II. The outcomes of both procedures including cure rate, recurrence and complications such as infection, post operative pain, edema, hematoma, and testicular atrophy were compared in Two groups. Results: In group I, 13 cases (62%) were cured but 8 cases (38%) experienced recurrence (treatment failure). In group II, 22 patients (95.6%) were cured but one patient (4.4%) had recurrence. Post operative pain in group I was mild in 9 patients (42.9%), morderate in 11 patients (52.4%) and severe in one patient (4.7%). But in group II all patients (100%) experienced severe pain requiring parentral analgesics (opioids). Hematoma was occured in 2patients (8.7%) in group II but in none patients in group I. No patients in any groups developed infection or testicular atrophy. Conclusion: This study showed that although recurrence rate of closed hydrocelectomy is more frequent but its complications are less than open procedures. In patients with high surgical risks in whom excisional hydrocelectomy is less preferable, this closed hydrocelectomy technique may be the technique of choice.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Low electromagnetic fields (LEMF) are produced by instruments which are works with electricity. This study was done to determine the effect of LEMF on fetal death and bone marrow megakaryocytes in NMRI mouse neonates. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study 64 females’ mice with 6-8 old weeks were used. 2 female mice coupled with one male, and positive vaginal plaque was interpreted as the zero day of pregnancy (GD=0). The pregnant mice were randomly categorized into control and experimental groups. The experimental group were exposed to50HZ, 0.5 mT Low electromagnetic fields on 7-11 days of pregnant period (8h/d). The weight of neonate and death fetus were studied after delivery. The live neonates were dissected on 15th day, and 1 ml of bone marrow was extracted from Tibia and vertebral column, by pressing method. The bone marrow cells suspended in 1:1 IMDM in 15cc (FULCON) tubule and cells was counted with neobar lam. The data were tested by t-student test significance was set up at p<0.05. Results: There was significant differences between the mean weight of one day neonate in cases with controls (P<0.05). The mean of dead fetus in experimental group was higher than controls (P<0.05). The mean of megakaryocytes numbers higher than controls, but this differences was not significant. Conclusion: This study showed that the number of megakaryocytes and fetal death were increased by low electromagnetic fields exposure during pregnancy.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Lower ureter is the most common site of stone traped causing renal colic and hydroureteronephrosis. If medical therapy is not effective , the treatment consist of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), transurethral lithotripsy (TUL) or on rare cases, open surgery. This study was done to compare the ESWL with TUL in sixty patients with lower ureteral stones which did not responed to thraputic regiment. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was done on sixty patients with obstructive lower ureteral stones for more than 3 weeks, that have not been responded to the thraputic regiment in Imam Reza hospital, Mashhad, Iran during 2004-06. According to treatment indications sixty patients divided in two equal ESWL and TUL groups. Success of procedure were evaluated by ultrasonography and KUB radiography. The success rate of two different technique and the side effects in each patients was recorded. Results: In ESWL group in 14 patients (46.66%) the stone was broken and its particles were removed but in 13 patients (43.33%) the stone was not broken and they became candidates for TUL. In 3 patients (10%) the stone was broken but the particles did not pass. The only complication of ESWL was renal colic which was in 15 patients (50%) and cured by medical treatment. In TUL group, in 93.5% of patients, the stone was broken and particles were removed, but in 6.5% the procedure was not successful and the patients underwented ESWL or open surgery. 10% of patients experienced fever and colic pain, who underwented medical treatment. Conclusion: This study showed that TUL technique has higher successful rate than ESWL technique in lower uretaral stones.

Abstract
Buschke–Lowenstein Tumor (BLT) or Giant Condyloma Acuminatum (GCA) is a slow-growing, locally aggressive, cauliflower-like tumor of great size that usually arises in the perineal region. Buschke–Lowenstein Tumor is triggered by human papilloma virus (HPV), usually either genotype 6 or 11. Buschke–Lowenstein Tumor is usually preceded by condyloma acuminatum and occurs at any age after puberty, usually between the 4th and 6th decades. Invasive overgrowth and recurrence after treatment are its characteristics and malignant transformation is also possible. Here, we have reported a case of a 33 year-old man with penile Buschke–Lowenstein Tumor arising from common genital warts.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Intercostal and supracostal access tract are usual access for percoutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) for upper calices stones. But pleural complication of these tracts are high. This study was done to evalute percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) of upper calices with subcostal access. Materials and Methods: Seventeen patients (12 males, 5 females) with stones limited to upper calices with diameters of 11-27 mm and 1-5 in numbers, candidated for PCNL. Ultrasonography and intravenous urography were performed for all patients prior to surgery. In all patients PCNL performed in prone position and access is made at prolonged and deep inspiration from subcostal with fluoroscopic guidance. Following access to upper calices, guide wire inserted and dilatation of tract up to 28 or 30 Fr informed. After insertion of 28 or 30 Fr Amplatz sheat nephroscopy performed. Results: Two patients excluded and finally 15 patients were accounted. In 15 patients subcostal access performed successfully (88.2 %) . In 5 patients stones of less than 10 mm extracted with grasps. In 10 patients after pneumatic lithotripsy, particles of tones removed. 11 patients rendered stone free (73.3%). 4 patients had residual stones of greater that 5 mm in minor calices that in 3 patients after single ESWL resolved. 3 patients needed infandibular dilatation for complete stone extraction. No infection, transfusion, pneumothorax, hydrothorax, respiratory discomfort in operation and post operation period were seen. In one patient a perirenal collection of liquid with diameter of 5 cm was detected. Perirenal collection of liquid was removed with preventional treatment and antibiotics regiments. Conclusion: PCNL with subcostal access for upper calices stones is a feasible and safe with low complication and can be performed instead of supracostal access tracts.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Electromagnetic waved generated by electronic industries and the increasing use of electrical appliances have led to higher rise in chronic exposure to extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF). This study was done to investigate the effects of low electromagnetic field on mice embryos development. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, eighty female NMRI mice were super ovulated and coupled with male mated over the night. Next morning the female mice with a vaginal plug were identified as pregnant mice. Animals allocated into 2 groups control group was not exposed to EMF and animals in case group exposed to 50 Hz and amp 1.2 mT EMF the pregnant mice were scarified by cervical dislocation at 24, 72, 81, 96, 110 and 120 hours. Embryos were subsequently obtained from the mice by flashing the fallopian tubule and uterus horn. Data were analyzed using SPSS-13.5, ANOVA and student’s t-tests. Results: The number of 2, 3-4 cells and 5-8 of embryo cells and blastocyst decreased in case group compared to controls, but these reduction were not significant. The number of morula in cases significantly reduced in comparison with control group (P<0.05). The average number of fragmented blastocyst in experimental groups siginficantly increased compared to control group (P<0.05). The number of inner cell mass and trophoectoderm in experimental group significantly reduced in comparison with controls (P<0.05). Conclusion: The exposure of extremely-low electromagnetic field in pregnancy reduces the number of morula, inner cell mass and trophoectoderm.

Abstract
Background and Objective: The consequence of excessive usage of phosphate fertilizers, in addition to the accumulation of phosphorous in excess, is to create competition with the absorption of micronutrients, especially zinc and, most importantly, the accumulation of pollutants such as cadmium in agricultural products. This study was done to determine the effect of Hydro-alcoholic extract of Curcumin on the levels of liver enzymes in rats treated with cadmium chloride.
Methods: This experimental study was done on 56 adult male Wistar rats which allocated into 8 equal groups including control group: animals in this group were received normal saline, intraperitonally. Sham: animals in this group were received olive oil, intraperitonally. Cadmium group: animals in this group were received Cadmium with dosage 1.5 mg/kg/bw, intraperitonally. Curcumin group: animals in this group were received 120 mg/kg/bw of Curcumin, intraperitonally. The interventional group 1: animals in this group were received Cadmium with dosage 1.5 mg/kg/bw, and 30 mg/kg Curcumin, intraperitonally. The interventional group 2: animals in this group were received Cadmium with dosage 1.5 mg/kg/bw and 60 mg/kg/bw of Curcumin, intraperitonally. The interventional group 3: animals in this group were received Cadmium with dosage 1.5 mg/kg/bw and 120 mg/kg/bw of Curcumin, intraperitonally. After 21 days, the rats were sacrified and the liver enzymes including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured by spectrophotometer method.
Results: The concentration of AST, ALT and ALP in cadmium group were significantly increased in compare to controls (P<0.05). The concentration of liver enzymes in Curcumin group was reduced in compare to controls (P<0.05). The enzymes concentration in the interventional groups 1, 2 and 3 were significantly reduced in compare to the cadmium group (P<0.05). The enzymes concentration in the interventional groups 1, 2 and 3 were significantly increased in compare to controls (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Hydroalcoholic Curcumin extract can reduces the increasing of liver enzymes induced by cadmium in rats.
