Abstract
Background & Objectives: Life satisfaction among the elderly people can be affected due to different variables such as social participation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between social participation and life satisfaction among elderly in Kerman.
Materials & Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which 200 elderly people were questioned in Kerman. Social participation and life satisfaction were measured using the social participation questionnaires (Canadian Community Health Survey) and Life Satisfaction Index (LSI-Z). To analyze the data we used descriptive statistics and to study the relationship among variables, statistical tests such as Pearson correlation, Chi-square, T test and one-way ANOVA were used. Data were analyzed using the SPSS .17 software.
Results: The highest and lowest rates of social participation were related to participation in religious ceremonies and social communities such as neighborhood council, respectively. Diseases and health (67.5%) were the most important barriers to social participation. However, more than half of the elderly people had medium life satisfaction (52.1%). There was a significant correlation between social participation and life satisfaction (p=0.003).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that the social participation has an important role in life satisfaction among the elderly people. Therefore, it is necessary to consider barriers of social participation such as geriatric disease.

Abstract
Introduction: Social participation is an important and modifiable dimension of healthy and successful aging. The current study aimed at determining the level of social participation as well as its related factors and barriers to the elderly people in Khorramabad, Iran.
Methods: The current cross sectional study was performed on 285 elderly people living in Khorramabad in 2015. The Canadian community health survey (CCHS) and the social participation questionnaire were used to collect data. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software version 20 using independent t test, the Welch test, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. The level of significance for all the tests was set to P < 0.05.
Results: The mean age of the older people in the current study was 69.68 (± 6.39) years. The mean score of social participation for the study participants was 10.06 ± (5.50). Disease (81.3%), financial problems (72.5%), and lack of physical accessibility (55.9%) were respectively the main barriers to social participation. There was a significant relationship between age, gender, marital status, housing status, level of education, occupation, income, and social participation.
Conclusions: Despite willingness of the elderly people in the current study, their social participation was low. Officials are suggested to make policies and develop plans in order to remove the barriers and provide a platform to promote social participation among seniors.

Perceived social support and social well-being were assessed using standard questionnaire through a face-to-face interview. The data were analyzed by the SPSS software version 20, using descriptive and analytical statistics including Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient, chi-square and independent t-test.
Results: The findings showed that the older residents of the Khorramabad have relatively good social support and moderate social well-being. There was also a weak to moderate relationship between receiving social support of the family, friends and significant others with social well-being and its dimensions. But, there was no significant relationship between perceived social support and social solidarity. In addition, there was a significant relationship between age, education and living arrangements and some subscales of social support and social well-being.

Abstract
Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents and adults worldwide is known to be a critical health determinant that begins in childhood and continues most of the time until adulthood. Brain Drived Nurotrophic Factor Growth Factor (BDNF) stimulates and activates neuronal stem cells that proliferates and differentiates neurons, and is essential for the regulation of neurodevelopment to improve function and structure in neural circuits, learning and memory. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of intensive training of High Intensity Interval Ttraining (HIIT) and omega-3 on BDNF in blood plasma of inactive boys.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 40 non-athletic students of high school were selected by random sampling method and randomly assigned to four groups of HIIT, omega-3 supplementation, Exercise + Supplement, HIIT Exercise, and Omega-3 Supplement and Control. The training group performed HIIT exercises three sessions per week with 80 to 90% of VO2max. Omega-3 supplements and placebo received two capsules daily for lunch. One-way ANOVA and post-test LSD test were used for statistical comparison of mean difference between groups (P <0.05).
Results: Results showed that after doing of intervention there were significant changes in the amount of plasma BDNF levels in groups under study. Plasma BDNF levels was significantly higher in the HIIT exercise group compared to the placebo and supplementation groups. Also, the level of this index was significantly higher in the combination group [HIIT exercise plus Omega-3 supplementation] than the supplementation group, but the level of plasma BDNF level in the combination group[HIIT exercise plus omega-3 supplementation] was not significantly different from that of the control and HIIT exercise group.
Conclusions: Considering results acquired appears seems HIIT exercises alone and combination group [HIIT exercises plus omega-3 supplementation] have the positive effect on the amount of plasma BDNF levels in inactive teens.

Abstract
Introduction: Considering the importance of prevalence and high complications of abdominal masses, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of benign and malignant abdominal lesions and their relationship with demographic characteristics during a large 6-year study.
Method: This analytical-cross-sectional study investigated the clinical records of 721 patients with subcutaneous and deep abdominal masses undergoing surgery in Amir Al-Mo’menin (AS) Hospital, Tehran, Iran, between the years 2012 and 2023, considering the inclusion criteria and using the convenience method. Moreover, demographic and pathology characteristics were extracted from these files.
Results: Out of the total masses, 50 cases (6.9%) were malignant and the rest were benign. The most common benign masses were myoma (36.7%) and prostate hyperplasia (20.1%), and the most common malignant cases were bladder (16.0%) and ovarian (14.0%) in descending order. The age of people with malignant tumors was significantly higher than that of people with benign tumors (54.96 ± 15.23 vs. 45.42 ± 15.59 years; P<0.001). The prevalence of malignant cases in men was significantly higher than that in women (54.0% vs. 46.0%; P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant relationship between the family history of abdominal mass (P=0.055) and the year of referral (P=0.259) with the type of mass.
Conclusion: Abdominal malignant masses are more common in older ages and men.
