[ 1 ] - The Frequency of Exotoxin A and Exoenzymes S and U Genes Among Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Shiraz, Iran

Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen produces several virulence factors. The most important of these factors are exotoxin A and type III secretion system (T3SS). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of toxA, exoU and exoS genes among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. In this cross-sectional study from September 2011 to February 2012, 156 P. aeruginosa isolates w...

[ 3 ] - Incidence and Clinical Signs of Post Thrombotic Syndrome in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Three-year Follow-up

Background and purpose: Despite extensive studies on prevention and management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), less attention has been paid to chronic venous insufficiency. The persend study aimed to investegite the incidence and clinical signs of post thrombotic syndrome in patients with deep vein thrombosis. Materials and methods: A descriptive retrospective study was done in patients with DV...

[ 4 ] - Evaluation of Blood and Liver Cytotoxicity and Apoptosis-necrosis Induced by Nanochelating Based Silver Nanoparticles in Mouse Model

This study aimed to evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo biological activities of newly synthesized nanochelating based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in mouse model. Nanochelating technology was used to design and synthesize the AgNPs. The animals studies were including the lethal dose (LD50) determination by the intraperitoneal administration in mice, and determination of liver e...
