background: although enteral feeding solutions are used to reduce the morbidity and mortality in many malnourished and hospitalized patients, microbial contamination of these products may lead to severe infections, especially in immune suppressed ones. the aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of commercial enteral feedings in two hospital settings in shiraz. methods: tw...

Erodium (Geranaiceae) species are distributed in different habitats of Iran. Some species are of medicinal importance while some are well known weeds. There are no chromosome counts for Erdoium species of Iran. Chromosome numbers are given for six taxa of Erodium (Geraniaceae) from Iran: E. cicutarium (2n=36), E. ciconium(2n=18), E. malacoides (2n=20), E. moschatum (2n=20), E. neuradifolium (2n...

AIMS To verify the correlation between MIB-1, Ki67, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA-PC10) scores and S-phase fraction in intermediate grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (Working Formulation F); and their reliability in differently processed tissues. METHODS Forty one non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were classified as (F) intermediate grade malignant lymphomas according to the Working Formulat...

background: for xenograft models of triple-negative breast cancer (tnbc) to be valuable in development of molecularly-targeted drugs, careful characterization is essential to their validation. the present study aimed to validate the tnbc xenograft model with a specific focus on angiogenesis. methods : twelve tnbc xenograft tumors and 12 human breast cancer tumors (htnbc) were included in this s...
