The present study aims at teaching the right citation models in scientific publications by top authors from Iranian universities of medical sciences in 2017, considering the relationship between moral development and self-control variables and model of "citation to multi-authored papers" in these articles.

Multi-authorship increases the amount of self-citation and also increases the likelihood of being cited by others.

This study is of the applied scientometrics and correlation (model presentation) studies type. The research population in the first part of this study includes all the authors who had an H-index of 10 or more in the scientific databases of 2017. The sample size at this stage was 110, selected by systematic random sampling. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0.

The results of regression analysis based on the concurrent method indicated that the regression model is significant. The coefficient of determination is 0.096 and the F ratio is 5.650, which are significant at the level of p <0.001. In this regression model, the variables of the level of moral development (β = -5.801, p <0.001) and self-control (p < 0.001, β = -0.253) have significant predictive power and can be considered as predictors of behavioral modeling in citing "multi-authored papers".

Based on the results, teaching how to avoid blindly citing the "multi-authored papers", which is regarded as a kind of "citation deviation", can, to some extent, lead to strengthening citation indexes.

The present study aimed at investigating the necessity of preoperative liver function tests (LFTs) in patients with uncomplicated gallstone disease before laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Significant relationship between common bile duct (CBD) stones and acute cholecystitis is reported. There are contradictory reports about the effect of CBD stones on liver function tests in patients (LFTs).

In the current study, patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis who referred to hospitals during January 2015 and May 2016 were enrolled. Routine tests and ultrasonography were performed on all patients before surgery. Data were presented as means ± SD and qualitative variables as frequency (percentage) were considered. Statistical analyzes were performed with SPSS software.

A consecutive series of 270 patients (58 males and 212 females) who referred for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in this retrospective study. Pre- operative LFTs were normal in 249 patients (85%) and abnormal LFT was detected in 41 patients (15 %).

This study showed that 15 % of patients with cholelithiasis without dilated CBD had impaired LFTs. Routine LFTs in preoperative evaluation of symptomatic cholelithiasis usually reveals normal findings and is not helpful in uncomplicated cholelithiasis.

The present study aims to evaluate the effects of antidiabetic and hepatoprotective of myricitrin in the aged mice induced by D-galactose (D-gal).

Aging occurs during a person's life; there has been no way to stop the aging process, but antioxidant and changing lifestyles can delay it.

In this experimental study, 72 female adult mice (weighing30-35g) were randomly divided into six groups 1 control, 2 D-gal at 500mg/kg/d, 3-5 D-gal+ Myricitrin at 5, 10 and 20mg/kg/d 6 D-gal+ Vitamin E at 100mg/kg/d. Aging induced by D-gal for 45 days via intraperitoneal. Myricitrin and Vitamin E administrated orally by gavage for the last 28 days. The blood glucose, insulin level, β-cell function, insulin resistance, hepatic enzymes, lipid profile, and histology of the liver, and pancreas were evaluated.

D-gal injection increased the glucose (p<0.001) and insulin levels (p<0.01) compared to control group. Myricitrin (p<0.01) and Vitamin E (p<0.001) increased insulin and decreased blood glucose levels compared to D-gal group. Myricitrin had a similar impact on insulin levels to vitamin E. Insulin resistance induced in the D-gal group (p<0.001). Myricitrin reduced insulin resistance and increased β-cell function (p<0.01) compared to D-gal group. D-gal elevated (p<0.01) cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride level, myricitrin (p<0.001), and Vitamin E (p<0.05) were reduced.

D-gal-induced aging causes the accumulation of RBCs, inflammation in the liver, and changes in the number and diameter of Langerhans islets in the pancreas. Myricitrin improved these D-gal effects. Myricitrin had the anti-diabetic and hepatoprotective effects on the aged mice induced by D-galactose.

Determine the prevalence of enteric bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance among diarrheic children in Nairobi City, Kenya.

Regardless of enteric bacterial pathogens being a major cause of gastroenteritis in children, their occurrence and antimicrobial resistance patterns reveals regional spatial and temporal variation.

In a cross-sectional study, a total of 374 children below five years presenting with diarrhea at Mbagathi County Hospital were recruited. Stool microbiology test was used to detect enteric bacterial infection. Antimicrobial resistance was determined using the disk diffusion method.
