Utilization of medicinal plants in treatment of diseases has a long history and human know their beneficial effects for treatment. Since recognition and dissociation medicinal from unmedicinal plants is very difficult and need long time, then recognize medicinal plant and dissociate them from other plants can help interested user to utilize.In this survey according botanical resources, based upon evidences, people experiences, perfect questionnaire by grocery in different city of Khuzestan and also field investigation in the four season on fourfold regions of Khuzestan, wrote all medicinal plant and their dispersion, characteristics of specified growing region, utility and ect. From 950 species in Khuzestan about 225 species were introduced as medicinal plants in the books and grocerys.Family of Labiatae, Compositae, Papilionaceae and Umbelliferae has most medicinal plant species in Khuzestan. From this collection, the aromatic plants are worth and number of them is able to develop their industrial cultivation. Medicinal plant that needs the best method to exploitation and the species that must protect to control decay is introduced.

Local Arabic people of Khuzestan like all other languages, in dialect or local accent have features that an example of it adage that are common among people, each of them having a world of talent and ideas and euphemisms is the purpose of discharging and their equivalents in Persian language. Like the theme in Arabic and Persian proverbs, there are many similarities. The purpose of this researchis the collection and analysis of Khuzestan Arabic proverbs which because the boiling experimental can be valuable and the social studies and anthropology to help. The main focus of this research is based on Khuzestan Arabic proverb, also compare common proverbs in Arabic and Persian and equivalent to navigation in the Persian language. About the reviews and compared Khuzestan Arabic proverb with the Persian and their impact on each other considerable research has been done so far. in this research as possible so far, adage have gathered field and the next phase of the research done in the library and written sources have been used. Despite the rich treasure of popular culture, especially the adage, in this area, the basic work in this field has been don't and the books that have been published in Khuzestan Arabic adage, did not more than four or five books.

Khuzestan Arabic poetry in contemporary age has continued its progress and dehiscence. In spite of following old poetry, it shows the changes and renewal in the form and poetical objects and style. This poetry has been influenced by contemporary Arabic poetry and its poets followed great Arabic poets such as Mahmood Sami al-Barodi and Ahmad Shoqi. They have composed the poems while frequently comparing them with particulars of literary schools like classicism, romanticism, symbolism and realism and realism.We can see manifestations of this change and renewal by young poets as Abd al-aziz Hemadi, Foad Ashore, Hosin Torfi, etc. They could enrich their poetry by two old and new cultural heritages.

Within the framework of study on rust fungi (Uredinales) of Khuzestan, 23 rust species belonging to different genera were identified. Of these, 20 species viz., Aecidium rubellum, Melampsora cf. pulcherrima, Phakopsora zizyphi-vulgaris, Phragmidium bulbosum, Ph. rosae-lacerantis, Puccinia aeluropodis, Pu. calcitrapae, Pu. cancellata, Pu. conclusa, Pu. malvacearum, Pu. pulvinata, Pu. rhagadioli, Pu. scirpi, Tranzschelia discolor, Uromyces anthyllidis, U. glycyrrhizae, U. gypsophilae, U. lineolatus, U. loti and U. rumicis are reported as new members for Khuzestan rust flora. Moreover, several new host species are reported for some identified rusts in Iran. Examination of the type and authentic specimens of Puccinia rhagadioli and Pu. garhadioli revealed that both species are identical and, therefore, Pu. garhadioli is considered as a taxonomic synonym of Pu. rhagadioli.

In order to investigate seroprevalence of turkey's chlamydiosis in Khuzestan province, 270 turkeys, of different sex and ages from different parts of Khuzestan province were bleed and their sera were tested for antibodies to Chlamydophila psittaci using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Immunocomb-ILS). According to results the seroprevalences of chlamydiosis were 58.9% in tested turkeys. Chi square test showed that the prevalence were significantly lower in young, under 6 months (25%) than adult's turkeys (66%) and in cold (68.9%) than warm (49.3%) months (p<0.005). In Khuzestan, highest (85.7%) and lowest (31.42%) prevalences were in Shoshtar and Haftgel respectively. It is inferred that C. psittaci is widespread in turkey's populations in Khuzestan and further attempts for definitive diagnosis by isolation of its etiologic agents are recommended.

Bachground: Erythroderma is a rare but serious skin disorder that may result from different causes. There are many publications on this subject, with a different incidence rate for each etiology. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of erythroderma, and describe the incidence of each etiologic cause in patients indigenous to Khuzestan.Methods: In a retrospective study, we reviewed the files of patients diagnosed with erythroderma who were admitted to the dermatology ward of Sina Hospital, affiliated to Jondishapour Medical University of Ahvaz, southwest of Iran, in a period of 9 years from 1980 to 1989. We studied the clinical and pathology reports of patients and the final etiologic diagnosis.Results: Total admission was 6210 patients and the total number of erythrodermic patients was 85. The frequency of erythroderma in our dermatology department was 1.37%. The most common causes in order of frequency were eczema (32.94%), drug reaction (23.52%), psoriasis (21/18%), and malignancy (8.23%). Previous history of skin disease was found in 44 of 85 patients (51.76%) and 28 (32.9%) of them were suffering from eczema. The mean age of our patients was 49.11 years and the male-female ratio was 1.6: 1.Conclusion: Erythroderma is a rare condition.The most common causes in our study were eczema and drug reactions; the high incidence of drug reactions in our patients compared to studies in other countries may be due to more administration of drugs in Iran, especially in Khuzestan.

Accessibility to a major portion of basic information about vegetation function of rangeland ecosystems is provided via autecologcal study of range plant species. These information are required for proper management of related rangelands. This research was conducted to examine the autecology of Cenchrus ciliaris in Khuzestan Province of Iran. Some topographic, climatic, and edaphic characteristics, as well as the boundaries of its natural habitats were determined. Also, the phenological stages of the plant were observed. Results showed that the habitats of this plant species are mainly located in south western and south eastern sections of the province, with east and south topographic aspects and altitudes ranging from 60 to 420 meters above sea level. This range plant generally grow on sandy loamy soils of the province. The soils of these habitats are slightly to moderately accompanied with debris and sandstones. Average annual precipitation at its habitats is 233-341 millimeters. Fall vegetative growth of this species began earlier than accompanied native species.  

Objective: Male infertility is believed to be associated with deletions on the Y chromosome as firstly has been reported by Tiepolo and Zuffardi. The microdeletions are commonly occurring in the specific region in the chromosome Y has been called as AZF, a region that thought to contain some genes are involving in spermatogenesis (Dada et al., 2003). The AZF region is subdivided into three non-overlapping sub-regions called AZFa in the proximal portion (interval D3-D6), AZFb in the intermediate region (D13-D16) and AZFc in the distal region (D20-D22) (Foresta et al., 2001). They are strongly associated with spermatogenic defects, such as azoospermia and oligozoospermia (Ferras et al., 2004a; Foresta et al., 2005). Microdeletions in the AZF region are frequently found in patients with azoospermia. The incidence of these microdeletions has been found to vary from 3 to 55% in Yq of patients are diagnosed with infertility (Foresta et al., 1998; Vogt, 2004). Although a high percentage of infertile men with microdeletions in the Y chromosome are not able to produce children by natural mechanisms of reproduction, there can be transmission of the father’s infertility problems to his sons, when they are produced by assisted reproduction. This predisposition for infertility can include gradual alterations in spermatozoid production, so that a young man with oligozoospermia later becomes azoospermic (Kihaile et al., 2005).Materials and Methods: We examined microdeletions in the Y chromosomes of men with azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia in Khuzestan province. Thirty-one patients with azoospermia and 47 with severe oligozoospermia were analyzed by PCR. The patients were classified according to alterations detected in three consecutive spermograms, based on the WHO technique (1999), into groups with non-obstructive azoospermia and those with severe oligozoospermia (£5 x 106 sperm/mL) and patients’ blood were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes and microdeletion analysis was made of the regions AZFb and AZFc sequence-tagged sites. The PCR product was run by electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel impregnated with ethidium bromide at 5mg/mL and visualized under UV light.Results: Among the 78 patients with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia, 11 patients that have been diagnosed with severe oligozoospermia were positive for microdeletions, from them nine patients (21.2%) showed deletions in the AZFb region and two patients (4.2%) in the AZFc region.The ages of the azoospermic patients varied from 23 to 47 years, with a mean of 31 years. Patients with severe oligozoospermia ranged from 22 to 38 years, with a mean of 32 years.Conclusion: We conclude that microdeletions in Yq could be one of the important causes of idiopathic male infertility and our findings support previous studies.

This study compared the nutritional value of discard fish in order to find potential regional supplier of low-cost food for aquaculture development, discard fish of fishing boats were collected with collaboration of fishery office in northwest of the Persian Gulf in fishing area of Khuzestan coastal waters from 2011 to 2012. The samples were chemically analyzed. According to different aquatic groups, the highest percentage of protein (77. 84± 2. 088) in Perciformes belongs to Eupleurogrammus muticus and the lowest percentage (40. 40± 0. 322) belongs to Liza klunzingri, the most percentage of lipid was in Liza klunzingri (33. 78± 0. 277) and the lowest percentage was in Grammoplites suppositus (3. 34± 0. 025), the highest and lowest percentage of ash (minerals) were in Cynoglossus arel (28. 14± 0. 377) and Acanthocephola abbreviate (0. 7± 0. 02) respectively. In the present study, the level of protein, lipid and minerals were in acceptable limit. Therefore discard fish have great potential in fulfilling nutritional requirements as fresh food (minimally processed) and with nutritional additives in forms of fish powder and fish oil and it can play an effective role in aquaculture development in the region.

Introduction Thunderstorms are one of the most important atmospheric hazards that cause human casualties every year, destroying large amounts of agricultural products, construction and infrastructure. Due to the combination of Thunderstorms with rainstorms and its effective role in causing sudden floods, this phenomenon has always been the main focuse of researchers in agriculture and financial issues. Considering this matter, we have studied climatic conditions of Khuzestan province in order to investigate this phenomenon and its causes. It is necessary to determine days of the thunderstorm and its sequence in different months, seasons and years, so experts can identify the atmospheric patterns causing this occurrence. Also they can provide necessary strategies and preconditions to inform farmers, gardeners and officials. Therefore, the purpose of this researh is studing the Thunderstorms in Khuzestan Province using synoptic, mann-kendall and Sen indexes during the period of 2003-2013. Methodology In order to investigate the climatic phenomenon of Thunderstorm in Khuzestan province, information and statistics of 12 synoptic stations during the 10 year statistical period (2003-2013) are investigated. The statistics and data are collected and tested in order to extract a similar statistical period. The data are analyzed in Excel and thunderstorms dispersion map is developed in Khuzestan. The data of thunderstorms in Khuzestan province are investigated and spatial-temporal analysis of this climatic phenomenon is studied in the study area. during the statistical period changes in Thunderstorms days are studied based on non-parametric Mann-Kendall and Sen index. also geographical dispersion maps of trend type (incremental, constant and decreasing) associated with Thunderstorm are prepared in seasonal and annual scales, then synoptic maps are prepared and evaluated. Results and Discussion In the spring data series, there is an increasing and decreasing trend in study stations. By analyzing summer data, it is found that there is significant decreasing trend in the most stations except Dezful, Izeh and Masjed Sulayman stations using the Man-Kendall test. The analysis of autumn and winter data also shows an increasing trend in all stations. In this series of data, the Mann-Kendall test and age index test at 95 and 99 confidence levels are significant. In the spring, the highest significant trend is observed in Dezful, Izeh, Ahvaz, Bostan and Omidieh stations. In the summer, the southern, central and western parts of the region have a significant decreasing trend. In the autumn, there is a significant increase in the whole region. In the winter, the southern and southeastern parts of the region have a steady trend. The spatial distribution of the annual trend of Thunderstorm days in Khuzestan province indicates a significant increase in most of stations. At Abadan, Bandar Mahshahr and Hendijan stations there is a significant decrease, and there is a constant trend in Behbahan and Ramhormoz stations. According to storm occurrence maps and analyzing of the maps, it can be seen that the occurrence of thunderstorms in Khuzestan province is generally frontier and is due to hot air flood from the Persian Gulf. in spite of the conditions for the tornado incident there has not been a twist in the region, due to the salinity of the Persian Gulf and a its small extent to provide enough moisture for the occurrence of this phenomenon. Conclusion In the spring data series, there is an increasing and decreasing trend in study stations. By analyzing of summer data, it was determined that using Mann-Kendall test, a significant decrease is observed in most stations except Dezful, Izeh and Masjed Soleiman stations. This trend is not observed with the age index test. The analysis of autumn and winter data also shows an increasing trend in all stations. According to the results of Mann-Kendall test on an annual scale, all of the stations have a significant incremental trend. At Abadan, Bandar Mahshahr and Hendijan stations there is a significant decrease, and there is a constant trend in Behbahan and Ramhormoz stations. Investigation of atmospheric patterns is shown that the cause of Thunderstorm phenomenon in the region is the result of strengthening and expansion of low pressure systems in the East of the Red Sea and Saudi Arabia. Therefore, cold airflow from the middle levels with high temperature changes in the upper and lower layers of the atmosphere causes instability and extreme climbing of the air, formation of cumulonimbus clouds, heavy falls of rainfall, lightning, hail and. . . in selected periods in Khuzestan province.
