Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The number of deaths attributable to tobacco use is rising globally. Health professionals can help reduce tobacco use by providing advice to patients regarding smoking cessation. Very few studies have collected information on tobacco use and cessation counseling training among health professional students. The purpose of this paper is to examine these issues using data from the 2005 Lebanon Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS). METHODS: The 2005 Lebanon GHPSS includes nationally representative estimates of third-year students in all dental, medical, nursing, and pharmacy schools in Lebanon. RESULTS: Current cigarette use ranged from 14.8% for pharmacy students to 26.9% for nursing students and 27.4% for medical students. Current waterpipe use ranged from 20.6% for medical students to 44.9% for nursing students. About 8 in 10 students in all four disciplines were exposed to second-hand smoke in public places. More than 8 in 10 students in medical, nursing, and pharmacy schools believed that health professionals have a role in giving advice or information on smoking cessation to patients. More than 9 in 10 students in all four disciplines believed that health professionals should receive training on smoking cessation techniques. However, those who received training ranged from 19.8% of pharmacy students to 43.7% of nursing students. CONCLUSION: Tobacco use (cigarettes and water-pipe) is high among third-year health professional students in Lebanon. Students are willing to provide smoking-cessation counseling but lack training. The Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Education, and educational institutions in Lebanon should work together with other interested partners in developing, testing, and implementing successful patient cessation counseling training programs for health professionals.

Abstract
To determine Back Pain BKP] associated factors in the First and the Second National Health Surveys in Iran 1st NHS and 2nd NHS]. This study is based on the information obtained from the 1st NHS conducted in the year 1991 and the 2nd NHS conducted in the year 2000 .27752 and 36945 subjects aged 15 and over were interviewed in the 1st NHS and the 2nd NHS respectively, of whom 24589 subjects from the 1st NHS and 36488 subjects from 2nd NHS were included in this study. BKP was considered as dependent variable and number of the surveys 1st NHS, 2nd NHS], residential area, age gender, education, marital status, smoking cigarette, smoking hubble bubble, spinal fractures, mental health, skeletal deformation and Body Mass Index BMI] were considered as independent variables. Logistic regression models have been applied for data analysis, using SPSS soft ware. It is indicated that odds of BKP in the 2nd NHS is less than odds of BKP in the 1st NHS. Odds of BKP increases with increase in age and BMI and it decreases with increase in level of education. Odds of BKP is higher in women and married subjects. Smoking, mental disorder, spinal fracture and skeletal deformation increase the odds of BKP. The findings showed that higher level of education, lower BMI and quitting smoking can help controlling BKP

Abstract
In this study, a fast, simple and efficient ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) method was successfully developed based on applying low density organic solvents. Fourteen microliters of toluene was injected slowly into a 12 mL home-designed centrifuge glass vial containing an aqueous sample that was located inside the ultrasonic water bath. The formed emulsion was centrifuged and 2 microL of separated toluene (about 4 microL) was injected into a gas chromatographic system equipped with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) for analysis. Some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were selected as model compounds for developing the method and evaluating its performance and to compare the efficiency of the proposed method with previously reported techniques. Several factors influencing the emulsification, extraction and collection efficiency such as the nature and volume of organic solvent, emulsification-extraction temperature, ionic strength and equilibrium and centrifugation times were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, preconcentration factors (PFs) in a range of 1776-2714 were obtained. The performance of the proposed method was studied in terms of linear dynamic range (LDRs from 0.05 to 100 microg L(-1)), linearity (R(2) > or = 0.994), precision (repeatability: RSD% < or = 7.9, reproducibility: RSD% < or = 14.6) and extraction percents (59.2-90.5%). Limits of detection (LODs) in the range of 0.02-0.05 microg L(-1) were obtained for different PAHs. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by the extraction and determination of PAHs from several natural water samples.

Abstract
The title compound, C(14)H(11)BrN(4)O(4), comprises two crystallographically independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In mol-ecule B, intra-molecular bifurcated N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO and N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredBr hydrogen bonds and in mol-ecule A, an intra-molecular N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bond generate S(6) ring motifs. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 5.44 (6) in mol-ecule A and 7.63 (6) degrees in mol-ecule B. The ortho- and meta-nitro substituents make dihedral angles of 6.67 (15) and 2.26 (15) degrees to the attached benzene ring in mol-ecule A and 6.37 (17) and 5.81 (16) degrees in mol-ecule B. The Br atom in mol-ecule B is disordered over two positions with a refined site-occupancy ratio of 0.61 (3):0.39 (3). Inter-esting features of the crystal structure are the short Brcdots, three dots, centeredN [3.257 (3)-3.294 (4) A], Brcdots, three dots, centeredO [3.279 (3)-3.307 (4) A] and Ocdots, three dots, centeredO [2.9319 (16)-2.9995 (16) A] contacts, which are shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of these atoms. The crystal structure is further stabilized by inter-molecular C-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO and pi-pi inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6643 (8)-3.8514 (8) A].

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a heterogeneous group of blistering autoimmune disorders of unknown etiology. Intraoral manifestations of MMP feature the formation of vesiculobullous lesions that eventually rupture, leading to pseudomembrane-covered, irregularly-shaped ulcerations. The presence of these often painful oral lesions may hinder oral hygiene efforts resulting in increased plaque accumulation and may increase the risk of developing periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in periodontal status in patients with MMP after a period of 5 years. METHODS: Twenty patients, 10 diagnosed with MMP and 10 controls matched for age, gender, and smoking history, were chosen to participate in a study evaluating their periodontal status. Parameters evaluated included the plaque index, gingival index, bleeding index, probing depths, recession, clinical attachment level, mobility, furcation involvement, number of missing teeth, and periodontitis. Data from the same MMP and control patients were available for comparison from an identical baseline evaluation performed 5 years earlier. RESULTS: Patients with MMP exhibited a statistically significant higher gingival index and amount of lingual gingival recession at both time periods compared to controls. Both groups exhibited statistically significant increases in attachment loss and facial/lingual recession, but the difference in change between groups was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that patients diagnosed with MMP appear to be no more at risk than controls matched for age, gender, and smoking history in developing or having an increased progression of periodontal disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded with 4 self-etching adhesives. METHODS: A total of 175 extracted premolars were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 35). Group I was the control, in which the enamel was etched with 37% phosphoric acid, and stainless steel brackets were bonded with Transbond XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif). In the remaining 4 groups, the enamel was conditioned with the following self-etching primers and adhesives: group II, Transbond Plus and Transbond XT (3M Unitek); group III, Clearfil Mega Bond FA and Kurasper F (Kuraray Medical, Tokyo, Japan); group IV, Primers A and B, and BeautyOrtho Bond (Shofu, Kyoto, Japan); and group V, AdheSE and Heliosit Orthodontic (Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Liechtenstein). The teeth were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours and debonded with a universal testing machine. The adhesive remnant index (ARI) including enamel fracture score was also evaluated. Additionally, the conditioned enamel surfaces were observed under a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: The SBS values of groups I (19.0 +/- 6.7 MPa) and II (16.6 +/- 7.3 MPa) were significantly higher than those of groups III (11.0 +/- 3.9 MPa), IV (10.1 +/- 3.7 MPa), and V (11.8 +/- 3.5 MPa). Fluoride-releasing adhesives (Kurasper F and BeautyOrtho Bond) showed clinically acceptable SBS values. Significant differences were found in the ARI and enamel fracture scores between groups I and II. CONCLUSIONS: The 4 self-etching adhesives yielded SBS values higher than the bond strength (5.9 to 7.8 MPa) suggested for routine clinical treatment, indicating that orthodontic brackets can be successfully bonded with any of these self-etching adhesives.

Abstract
Tarhana is a traditional fermented product produced from a mixture of spontaneously fermented yogurt and wheat flour in Turkey. The aims of the present study were to enumerate and identify for the first time by molecular biology-based methods predominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated during processing of Tarhana. Samples were collected from eight different regions of Turkey. In order to explore the relationship between raw material and the microbiology of Tarhana, yogurt and wheat flour were also analyzed. A total of 226 Gram-positive and catalase-negative isolates were obtained from MRS, M17 and SBM (Slanetz and Bartley Medium). The isolates were grouped and identified using a combination of pheno- and genotypic methods including rep-PCR fingerprinting [(GTG)(5) primer], multiplex PCR, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and carbohydrate assimilation profiling. Pediococcus acidilactici were found to constitute 27% of the isolates, 19% were identified as Streptococcus thermophilus, 19% as Lactobacillus fermentum, 12% as Enterococcus faecium, 7% as Pediococcus pentosaceus, 5% as Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, 4% as Weissella cibaria, 2% as Lactobacillus plantarum, 2% as Lactobacillus delbrueckii spp. bulgaricus, 2% as Leuconostoc citreum, 1% as Lactobacillus paraplantarum and 0.5% as Lactobacillus casei. The different production sites investigated all had individual LAB profiles, but with P. acidilactici and S. thermophilus being isolated from the majority of samples. The main source of P. acidilactici and S. thermophilus was found to be the yogurt.

Abstract
The title compound, C(12)H(9)BrN(2)OS.0.06H(2)O, is a hydrated Schiff base derived from benzoic hydrazide and 4-bromo-thio-phene-2-carboxaldehide. The two Schiff base mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit differ crystallographically: in one mol-ecule the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and thio-phene ring is 49.88 (11) degrees , whereas the other mol-ecule the rings are almost coplanar with an r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms of 0.025 A. In the crystal, mol-ecules form polymeric sheets linked by N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO and C-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bonds. The water mol-ecule of crystallization is partially occupied and its H atoms could not be located.

Abstract
Smoking causes 5.2 million deaths annually in the world of which 70% occur in developing countries. Hookah smoking is increasing around the world especially in the Eastern Mediterranean Region including Iran. This study was carried out to evaluate the pattern of tobacco smoking in both forms of cigarette and hookah smoking. A cross- sectional study was conducted among a random population in the main squares of Tehran in 2006. The sample size consisted of 2053 people in the age range of 10 to 80 years. Non-Probability Sampling method was used. Questionnaires designed and adapted according to WHO and IUATLD questionnaires given to these people. Forty-six percent of the sample had experienced hookah smoking. The prevalence of occasional hookah smoking in the previous year was 45%, while 10% of the participants used hookah at least once a week, 17.9% at least once a month and 17.1% at least once a year;47.2% of participants had experienced cigarette smoking. Prevalence of daily cigarette smoking was 22.7%; 22.7% of current smokers and 25.01% of non-smokers consumed hookah at least once a week. Prevalence of hookah smoking is very similar among cigarette smokers and non-smokers. In this study the prevalence of cigarette smokers was more than national data and the rate of cigarette and hookah smoking among women was higher than that of other studies in this realm. These issues need to be further investigated and more serious studies are required in this regard

Abstract
This study examines the prevalence of risky drinking and the association between risky drinking behaviors and risk groups of substance abuse among college freshmen. A total of 376 college freshmen (126 boys and 248 girls) in a Japanese university participated in the study. The subjects were asked to complete self-administered, anonymous questionnaires during their class. The number of participants who had used drugs was small. The following 2 items for substance abuse were included in the questionnaires: (1) those who had drug using peers who used drugs and (2) those who had been persuaded to use drugs by their peers. On the basis of the responses, the participants were classified into 3 groups: (1) high-risk group (HRG), which accounted for 1.4% of the subjects and comprised those who answered "yes" to both the above-mentioned two items; (2) risk group (RG), which accounted for 7.4% and comprised participants who answered "yes" to one of the two items; and (3) control group (CG), which accounted for 91.2% and comprised those who did not answer "yes" to either of the two items. Bivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the association between risky drinking behaviors and risk groups of substance abuse. The results of our study indicated that 87.0% of the participants reported lifetime alcohol use, and 69.4% reported the consumption of alcohol during the past 30 days. Of the former group, 21.4% had engaged in binge drinking, 8.6% had experienced alcohol-related harassment, 9.5% had experienced alcohol-induced blackouts, and 82.0% had experienced drinking alcohol with peers without adults. There were significant associations between risk groups of substance abuse and risky drinking such as binge drinking (p = 0.001), alcohol-induced blackouts (p = 0.020), alcohol-related harassment (p = 0.012), alcohol consumption during the past 30 days (p = 0.047). However, lifetime alcohol use (p = 0.264) and experience of drinking alcohol with peers without adults (p = 0.103) did not differ significantly. These findings indicated that risky drinking behavior such as binge drinking or alcohol-induced blackouts are associated with substance abuse among college freshmen. Substance abuse prevention programs for college students should address the health effects of risky drinking behaviors and train students how to avoid submission to peer pressure.
