Abstract
Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is the most commonly diagnosed and impairing childhood anxiety disorder. Given that SAD symptoms in early childhood have been linked to later psychopathology, early identification and treatment of it is critical. The aim of the present study was the examination of validity and reliability of separation anxiety assessment scale-parent version (SAAS-P) (Hahn, Hajilian, Eisen, Winder, & Pincus, 2003) in a sample of 4-6 years old children of Tehran. The SAAS-P is a 34-item self-report instrument that was proposed to measure four symptom dimensions of separation anxiety: fear of abandonment, fear of being alone, fear of physical illness and worry about calamitous events. The current study evaluated several aspects of the SAAS-P's psychometric properties. First we translate the SAAS-P and translate it back into english. It revealed appropriate conceptual fitness. Then the mothers of 302 children from sixteen kindergartens in district 1 in Tehran were selected by available sampling and were asked to complete the SAAS-P and preschool anxiety scale (PAS) (Spence, Rapee, McDonald, & Ingram, 2001). Validity evaluation yielded positive results, in addition to face validity that was confirmed by specialists, criterion-references validity was supported by high (0.69) correlation with preschool anxiety scale. Moreover all subscales of SAAS-P displayed moderate to high internal consistency (0.63 to 0.73) and had good reliability. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the four-factor model of the scale. The analyses of the psychometric properties suggest that the SAAS-P is a promising measure of separation anxiety that can be used in clinical situations and is able to screen the children with separation anxiety.

Abstract
Introduction: Lack of resources and efficient use of the available resources are among the challenges facing hospital management. Length of stay is one of the fundamental components of hospital performance. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the levels of care for patients and length of stay in hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Scientific information using related library resources, online articles and dissertations was collected and data related to variables, average stay, and need for patient care using nursing report forms and patient cases have been collected from 204 cases in Hazrat Rasool Complex, Tehran, Iran in 2013. Results: There are significant differences between the average stay in different departments. The level of care needed with an average length of stay had strong and significant correlation. Gender, age, and marital status have no significant effect on the average length of stay. Conclusion: Although the overall performance of the hospital due to the need for patient care was desirable and appropriate, a great improvement can be achieved by enhancement of the levels of patient care.

Abstract
Introduction: Peripheral and central nerve injuries cause chronic neuropathic pain in many injured people besides motor disability. Exercise, as a behavioral and non-pharmacological treatment, has beneficial effects on people’s general health both for healthy and sick people. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the effects of exercise on neuropathic pain induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve. Materials and Methods: Wistar male rats weighing 200 ± 20 g were randomly divided into five groups (normal, sham, CCI, pre-CCI exercise, and post-CCI exercise group). Once the rats were anesthetized, their sciatic nerve was legated to induce CCI, and they were then housed in separate cages. The rats ran on treadmill at a moderate speed for 3 weeks. Mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were determined using von Frey Filament and plantar test, respectively. TNF-α, malondialdehyde, and total antioxidant capacity were measured using Western blot test, thiobarbituric acid, and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) respectively. Results: The mechanical allodynia (P<0.05) and thermal hyperalgesia (P<0.01) in the CCI group were significantly higher than those in the sham group. Exercise after CCI significantly reduced (P<0.01) mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia (P<0.05) against those in the CCI group. Moreover, the level of FRAP in the CCI group was significantly (P<0.01) lower than that in the sham group, and the level of FRAP in the post-CCI group increased significantly (P<0.05) against that in the CCI group. The level of MDA did not differ significantly between groups. Level of TNF-α increased significantly in the CCI group (P<0.001) compared to sham group and decreased significantly in the post-CCI group (P<0.01) against that in the CCI group. Conclusion: Exercise reduces mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia induced by CCI. These effects probably mediated by increasing the total antioxidant capacity and reducing the TNF-α inflammation factor.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain involves injury or alteration of the normal sensory and modulatory nervous systems to produce a set of symptoms that are often difficult to treat. Previous study indicates that saffron has anti-inflammatory properties that may be mediate by neurotransmitter system. In this study we determine the role of cannabinoids receptors in peripheral and central effects of Crocin on behavior neuropathic pain responses in Chronic Constriction Injury (CCI) model in Rat. In this experimental study we used of adult male Wistar rats (220 to 250 g). CCI was induced by setting four loose ligatures around the siatic nerve. In part 1, after nerve lesion, injections of vehicle, Crocin (60 mg/kg) or Win21212 (0.1 mg/kg) as an agonist and AM251(0.1 mg/kg) as an antagonist of endocannabinoid receptors, were injected intraperitoneally in separate groups and continued every day for 2 weeks. In part 2, two weeks after of nerve lesion, injections of vehicle (0.5µl), Crocin (6 µg/0.5µl), Win21212 (0.1 µg/0.5µl), AM251(0.1 µg/0.5µl) were done in intracerebroventricular (ICV) in separate groups. Pain behavioral responses including mechanical allodynia (von Frey filament testing) and thermal hyperalgesia were measured at day 14. Data analyzed by Two-way ANOVA and tukey test. Results indicated that central or peripheral injection of Crocin decreased thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia. Also central or peripheral Co-administration of Win21212 or AM251 modulate of analgesic effect of Crocin significantly (P<0.05). Findings shown that Crocin have analgesic effects that probably mediated by endocannabinoid mechanism.
