Abstract
Background and purpose : Pelvic mass with ascitis and elevated serum ÇÂ-125 level is suggestive of an advanced ovarian malignancy. Peritonitis is an uncommon event. Which can have the same symptoms, therefore this phenomenon must be considered in case of differential diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma. Âim of reporting this interesting and rare case, is to make attention of colleages to this differential diagnosis prior to and during operation.
Çase report : The case was a 28 years old female with ascitis and elevated serum
ÇÂ-125 level of more than 500 units per ml. Pelvic mass was reported in sonography and
ÇT-scan, and underwent laparatomy with probable diagnosis of advanced ovarian carcinoma. Frozen sections showed multiple necrotized caseous granulomatous lesions, highly suggestive of tuberculosis. Following treatment of tuberculosis, Serum ÇÂ-125 level declined to normal range(less than 35 units per ml) and ascitis was disappeared.
Çonclusion : Peritoneal tuberculosis can have the exact symptoms of advanced ovarian tumor during surgery. Peritoneal tuberculosis may be mistakan with advanced ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Hence, during operation, particularly in young females, operation must be performed after being sure about the malignancy, So, not to deprive the patient from ovarian endocrinal activity. This issue is more prevalent, paticulary in the developing countries which must be considered

Abstract
Background and purpose: Today, due to improvement and progress of human knowledge in food industry, plastic coatings such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) that has unique characteristics are widely used for food and beverage packaging such as water and doogh. Phthalate esters are used in order to improve flexibility, efficiency and sustainability of materials. Chronic exposure with such materials play a role in incidence of many diseases and cancer in human. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and concentration of phthalates in different brands of doogh.
Materials and methods: In this study, we synthesized multi-walled magnetic carbon nanotubes using iron oxide. Then, the synthesized magnetic nanotubes were used for absorption and extraction of phthalate esters from doogh matrix. After sample preparation, the concentration of each phthalate esters was measured by GC-MS.
Results: Concentration of phthalate esters in all samples were found to be lower than the standard levels but DEHP had the highest concentration. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between the concentration of phthalate esters in different brands and storage time of doogh.
Conclusion: According to these findings and low concentration of each phthalate ester compared with standard levels in different types of doogh, it has no health effect on consumers.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Plants have been known and used by different societies since ancient times. The most important applications include nutrition, medicine, and industry. Acorus calamus L. (Acoraceae), is one of the medicinal plants that exists in the Iran and some other ecotypes and is used as a medicinal plant also in China, India, and Greece. Recently, it received attention, however there is lack of information about this medicinal plant.
Materials and methods: We performed a search in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar and also traditional medicine books using the following keywords: A. calamus, traditional medicine, modern medicine, laboratory studies, and biological effects.
Results: In reliable articles and traditional medicine books, A.calamus was found with many different properties. The aerial parts, roots, and rhizome were reported to have antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory activities. A.calamus is also used in treating nervous system disorders and in production of nanoparticle and pharmaceutical products.
Conclusion: According to many studies, A. calamus has many beneficial properties, but in vitro and in vivo studies are required to investigate its medicinal effects. Also, the plant is originally found in Mazandaran province, north of Iran and it can be used in medicinal and health products.
