Background & Aim: Executing a strategy is a complicate process that seeks to reach the best results for guarantee some achievements. To explore barriers related to executing diseases prevention and control, is crucial to resolve weakness and improve administration of therapeutic procedure. This study aims to explore obstacles of implementing acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention and control strategies in Mazandaran province of Iran.
Materials And Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted during 2012. The samples included 130 managers, experts and employees of Mazandaran University of Medical science of Iran and the other organization and agencies participating in an AIDS national program. The data were analysed by the chi-square method through SPSS software.
Results: The results showed that among eight factors of obstacles of implementing strategy including educational, technological, cultural, communication, legal, political, organizational and economic factors, technology and political issues are recognized as obstacles.
Conclusions: Technology as an inter-organizational factor and political factors as out-organizational factors, could affect the successful executing of AIDS control and prevention strategies, therefore the health care providers should pay more attention on these matters.

Purpose: To investigate the technique for dorsal median sulcus (DMS) mapping and assess its application value in preserving dorsal columnn (DC) function during intramedullary space occupying surgery based on a single-center experience.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 41 cases of intramedullary spinal cord tumor admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from March 2017 to August 2023. All included cases underwent intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring, and were divided into a study group (n = 18) and a control group (n = 23), based on whether DMS mapping technique was utilized.
