[ 1 ] - The Association of Amniotic Fluid Cadmium Levels with the Risk of Preeclampsia, Prematurity and Low Birth Weight

Background: Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal with ubiquitous environmental distribution. Cadmium is a potent reproductive and developmental toxic agent, and intensive environmental exposure to this substance has been reported among the residents of Tehran. In this study, we investigated the correlation between amniotic fluid cadmium levels and the risk of preeclampsia, prematurity and low bi...

[ 2 ] - Characterization of Miconazole effects on Mice fetus liver tissue using FTIR-MSP

Azole agents especially Miconazole are widely used even during pregnancy as antifungal agents. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of FTIR Micro-Spectroscopy for discriminating of Miconazole treated liver tissue from control liver tissue. The mice were injected with Miconazole (60 mg/Kg) on gestation day 9 and they were dissected on pregnancy day 15. The fetus fixed, dehydrated a...

[ 3 ] - Human Lung Carcinoma Reaction against Metabolic Serum Deficiency Stress

Cancer treatment is still of the greatest challenges that health care providers and patients are facing. One of the unsolved problems in cancer treatment is cells’ reaction to metabolic stress caused by harsh nutritional conditions around tumor. In order to be able to treat this disease properly, it is important to understand the true nature of the disease. In fact, the cells inside the central...

[ 4 ] - FTIR Microspectroscopy Reveals Chemical Changes in Mice Fetus Following Phenobarbital Administration

Phenobarbital is a phenobarbiturate used as a sedative, anticonvulsant, or hypnotic with the doses prescribed and can cause teratogenic effects. The goal of this study was to examine an alternative method for the recognition of the mechanism or the bimolecular potential changes in mice fetus caused by Phenobarbital using FTIR micro spectroscopy. The mice were injected with Phenobarbital (120mg/...

[ 5 ] - FTIR-Microspectroscopy Detection of Metronidazole Teratogenic Effects on Mice Fetus

Metronidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and other diseases. There are controversy aspects about its teratogenicity. A teratogenic agent can alter morphology or subsequent function of the fetus. The aim of this study was to examine an alternative method for the recognition of the mechanism or the bimolecular potential changes in mice fetus caused by Metronidazole usin...

[ 10 ] - بررسی اثر صدا بر فشار خون و ضربان قلب کارگران در یک صنعت خودروسازی

Introduction: One of the possible effects of occupational exposure to high noise is high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Aim of this study was to investigate the association between noise with blood pressure and heart rate in an automotive industry. Methods: 78 male workers who worked in an automobile factory, were participated. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured in the m...

[ 11 ] - FTIR Determination of Miconazole Effects on Mice Fetus Brain Tissue

Miconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent, commonly applied topically to the skin or mucous membranes. The aim of this study was to examine the alternative method for gaining mechanism or the bimolecular changes caused by the possible teratogenic effects of Miconazole on mice fetus brain tissue using FTIR-Microspectroscopy. The mice were injected with Miconazole (60 mg/Kg) on gestation day 9....

[ 12 ] - Parabens Effects on Estrogenic Receptors of C13 Cell Line

Ovarian cancer is one of the major causes of death in women. Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, they mimic estrogens, which are known to play a role in the development of different cancers in women. The Aim of this study was to investigate the proliferative effects of Methyl Paraben (MP) and Propyl Paraben (PP) on human ovaria...

[ 13 ] - Modification of activated carbon by cold plasma and its effect on the adsorption of toluene

Abstract Background and aims: Clean air is one of the basic needs for human health and well-being. However, along with economic growth and development, transportation, urbanization and energy consumption have also risen and provide many concerns such as air pollution, which require urgent and wide attention. Air pollution in the worldwide is considered as a risk factor for human health and one...

[ 14 ] - Investigating the effect of different light intensities in work environments on Circadian rhythm using animal model

Introduction: light intensity and duration are physical factors that affect hormone secretion and circadian rhythms. This study aimed to determine the effects of various light intensities on serum melatonin and cortisol levels.  Materials and methods: This experimental study was carried out on 32 male rats: Group 1 as the control group, received a brightness of 150 lux, and groups 2, 3, and ...
