based on serological,toxoplasmosis infection is a widespread disease.with regard to this fact and because of the occurence of congenital toxoplasmosis infections due to asymptomatic infections in pregnant women,determination of the rate of toxoplasma antibodise(IgG,IgM) before pregnancy and finding the involved factors in increasing toxoplasmosis prevalence seems to be necessary.in this cross sectional and discriptive study the prevalence of toxoplasma antibodies(IgG,IgM) in Kermanian women was determined by ELISA method.blood samples (n=350) were collected randomly from women reffered for marriage consultation to the central laboratory of Kerman city from Jan.1998 to Dec.1998.the results showed that the generan prevalence of the positive cases based on high titer of IgG was 29.4% and of IgM was 5.1%.there was no relation between positive cases and age,education,place of residence and keeping domestic animals(except cat) at home.but there was a relation between the positive cases of IgG and IgM and keeping cat at home(p<_0.01) and the way of meat consumption(raw or rare) (p<_0.0009).moreover 70.6% of pregnant women in Kerman city were seronegative and they were prone to acute toxoplasmosis during their pregnancy.therefore considering this fact and trying to omit its risk factors especially during pregnancy is very important.

Isoproterenol is a potent B-adrenergic agonist which its effect on rabbit salivary Glands has been studied in this research.two groups of male albino rabbits(five in each group with the mean weight of 1000+_300 gr) were injected with 20 mg/kg of isoproterenol intrapritoneally each day for fifteen days and one similar group(n=5) was chosen as control group.in one of the test groups in addition to normal diet (day food) animals were fed by liquid diet.increase in the weight of parotid salivary Glands was five folds in test groups as compared to control group(p<0.01).also,twelve folds increase in total protein content of the gland was observed in test groups as compared to control group(p<0.01).the increase in submandibular gland weight was significant but not as much as that in parotid gland(p<0.01).the total protein of submandibular glands of those experimental animals which were fed with solid diet was 2.5 folds as compared to control group(p<0.01).the total protein of the other test group fed with liquid diet showed a non-significant increase in comparison to control group.the increase in submandibular gland weight was significant in this group compared to control group(p<0.01).regarding sublingual gland, there was just significant increase in weight of gland in the solid diet group(p<0.01).however the increase in total protein content of sublingual glands of experimental groups was not significant compared to control group.sodium didecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of parotid gland revealed protein bands with molecular weight of about 14,44,58,96,and 98 KD in experimental groups compared to control group.electrophoretic pattern of submandibular gland of test groups showed protein bands with 20.KD which probably is a kind of proteins.since isoproterenol was not effective on sublingual gland,significant differnce in its electrophoretic pattern was not observed.

The significance of determining the therapeutic dose of cyclosporine-A in patients undergoing organ transplantation

Immunosuppressive drugs are now unavoidibly used after the transpantation of liver,heart and bone marrow, as well as in certain autoimmune diseases.among these agents,cyclosporine-A (CYA) is one of the most effective Immunosuppressants which is widely used.but as any Immunosuppressive agent,the use of CYA is not without harmful side effects.neurotoxin,nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic complications,may be seen in patients treated with CYA. for the first time borel from sandoz research center (Switzerland) showed that the metabolite of a fungus named tolypcladium inflatum gams,has a suppressive effect on immune system.thirty intermediate products of CYA metabolic pathway have been known so far and some studies have demonstrated the properties of a limited number of these products (M1,M8,M17,M21).pharmacodynamic studies on CYA have revaled that the Immunosuppressive effect of this drug is mainly achievable by its activity on T-lymphocyte.in fact.CYA inhibits the gene transcription in T-lymphocytes which results in lesser or no production of antigen-antibody complex.since the administred therapeutic dose of drug is a variable of many factors such as the type of transplanted organ,physiologic state of the patient,bioavailability and the treatment protocol and on the other hand,CYA has some destructive side effects on the other body organs,therefore determinations of the effective therapeutic dose of CYA ,and freauent measurement of CYA and its metabolites concentrations in blood is a necessity.
