abstract

background: many people suffer from nerve injury. the time consuming nature of the treatments makes the condition worse. therefore, finding a way to accelerate the process of nerve repair is very important. objective: to determine the effect of ultrasound on the acceleration of crushed peripheral nerve regeneration. methods: the experimental model included crushed rat’s sciatic nerve. 40 rats were categorized into control and test groups. we used functional and electrophysiological tests to measure the amount of nerve regeneration. we extracted sfi from rats paw print for functional test and measured cmap wave amplitude for electrophysiological test. after testing 3 types of ultrasound radiation parameters, we selected the best parameters. ultrasound radiation in test group had the intensity of 0.2 w/cm2 and frequency of 3 mhz. it was applied 3 days per week for 2 min each time starting 72 h after the injury. control group just received sham expose. results: during the treatment period, both sfi and cmap amplitude was significantly higher in test group than in control groups (p<0.05). conclusion: we found that ultrasound accelerates injured peripheral nerve regeneration. in addition, type of injury can be assessed according to changes in cmap amplitude during the treatment period.

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

the effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran

در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...

the effect of consciousness raising (c-r) on the reduction of translational errors: a case study

در دوره های آموزش ترجمه استادان بیشتر سعی دارند دانشجویان را با انواع متون آشنا سازند، درحالی که کمتر به خطاهای مکرر آنان در متن ترجمه شده می پردازند. اهمیت تحقیق حاضر مبنی بر ارتکاب مکرر خطاهای ترجمانی حتی بعد از گذراندن دوره های تخصصی ترجمه از سوی دانشجویان است. هدف از آن تاکید بر خطاهای رایج میان دانشجویان مترجمی و کاهش این خطاها با افزایش آگاهی و هوشیاری دانشجویان از بروز آنها است.از آنجا ک...
