this study was designed to compare the effect of clomiphene and letrozole in ovulatory stimulation in infertile women under intrauterine insemination who referred to mahdiyeh infertility clinic during 2008-2009. 106 infertile women were randomly divided into two equal groups. patients were treated with 5 mg of letrozole daily (in letrozole group) or 100 mg of clomiphene citrate daily (in clomip...

Hydroalcoholic extract of Pycnocycla spinosa is a relaxant of rat ileum and inhibits diarrhea in mice. As P. spinosa extract has spasmolytic activity on ileum, it could also affect other smooth muscles like bladder. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of P. spinosa extract on rat bladder contraction. In an in vitro study, the effects of P. spinosa extract, nifedipine ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of various methods of multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) and to determine which method produces better outcomes. One hundred and forty-eight patients with multiple pregnancies resulting from assisted reproduction programs and underwent MFPR were included. According to the use of potassium chloride (KCl), patients were divided into 'KCl',...

Abstract. Atmospheric mercury speciation is of paramount importance for understanding the behavior once it emitted into atmosphere as gaseous elemental (GEM), oxidized (GOM) and particulate-bound (PBM). GOM PBM can also be formed in atmosphere; their sampling most problematic step atmospheric speciation. with traps composed KCl sorbent materials trapping solutions are commonly used methods, alt...

Potassium chloride (KCl) is a highly water soluble substance which is usually used to prevent hypokalemia. Oil in water disperse phase encapsulation method was used to prepare KCl loaded microcapsules using beeswax and carnauba wax as a hydrophobic matrix. The morphology and characteristics of KCl loaded microspheres were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photon correlation spec...

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. It is practically insoluble in water. The effect of hydrotropes such as urea and sodium citrate and blends (urea + sodium citrate) on the solubility of aceclofenac was investigated. The enhancement in the solubility of aceclofenac was more than 5 and 25 folds in 3...

The present study was undertaken to determine whether two-month treatment of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats with aqueous leaf extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum (TFG 200 mg/kg i.p.) could improve thoracic aortic responsiveness and to evaluate its endothelium dependency. For this purpose, vascular responses to KCl and noradrenaline (NA) were measured. Diabetic state significantly increased...
