Sulfur mustard or mustard gas has been widely used as a chemical weapon in the first world war and Iraq-Iran war. It causes acute and chronic complications in lungs, eyes and skin. In skin, mustard is toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic via alkylation of cellular proteins in enzymes, cell membranes, cytoplasm and particularly cell nucleus as well as in DNA components of the epidermis, dermis and...

The role of hyperthermia during regional alkylating agent chemotherapy is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the exact contribution of hyperthermia to tumor response during isolated limb infusion with l-phenylalanine mustard. Rats bearing rodent fibrosarcoma on the hindlimb underwent isolated limb infusion with saline, saline plus heat, l-phenylalanine mustard, l-phenylalanin...

over the past 20 years since tribenuron-methyl herbicide registration in iran, reports of erratic control of broadleaf weeds with it have increased in wheat fields of aq qala. in order to evaluate the incidence of resistance in wild mustard (sinapis arvensis) and turnipweed (rapistrum rugosum) to tribenuron-methyl herbicide, dose-response assays were conducted during the years 1390 and 1391 at ...

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) secondary to sulfur mustard gas poisoning, known as mustard lung, is a major late pulmonary complications in chemical warfare patients. Serious comorbidities like dyslipidemia are frequently encountered in COPD. The aim of this study was to measure the serum lipid profile and evaluate the relation of lipid parameters with the severity o...

management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. a two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and n content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. a set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments w...

introduction: in comparison with rapeseed (canola), mustard has agronomic advantages such as drought tolerance and disease resistance, which empower this crop with a considerable oil production potential. mustard contains toxic substances e.g. glucosinolate, erucic acid, sinapine and tannin. the substances induce unpalatability, growth retardation, low feed efficiency, thyroid gland enlargement...

abstract to evaluate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on competitive ability of canola against wild mustard interference, a split plot trial based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications was carried out. experimental treatment were amounts of nitrogen fertilizer of urea (46% nitrogen) in 4 levels (100, 150, 200 and 250 kgn/ha) and 5 wild mustard densities ...

Abstract. We describe the Airborne Mid-Infrared Cavity enhanced Absorption spectrometer (AMICA) designed to measure trace gases in situ on research aircraft using Off-Axis Integrated Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS). AMICA contains two largely independent and exchangeable OA-ICOS arrangements, allowing for simultaneous measurement of multiple substances different infrared wavelength windows tailor...
