BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the complex complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The present study has been designed to examine protective role of hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) donor against streptozotocin (STZ) -induced behavioral, oxidative abnormalities and its DN like symptoms in rats. METHODS For the induction of DN single intraperitoneal administration of STZ (45 mg/kg) was...

Nasopharyngeal cultures were obtained from 60 children with acute otitis media before and after treatment with either 45 or 90 mg of amoxicillin (given as amoxicillin-clavulanate) per kg of body weight per day for 10 days. The number of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in the 45-mg/kg group was reduced from 12 to 6 and was reduced from 14 to 1 (P = 0.0261) in the 90-mg/kg group.

this study was carried out in order to identify the effects of soil water depletion (swd) on monogerm sugar beet (cv. shirin) seed growth trend at different growth stages. an experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications in ardebil agricultural research station. during 2002 and 2003 cropping seasons, nine treatments including control (irrigation aft...

Epileptic seizures are short episodes of abnormal brain electrical activity. Many survivors of severe epilepsy display delayed neuronal death and permanent cognitive impairment. Donepezil is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and is an effective treatment agent for Alzheimer's disease. However, the role of donepezil in seizure-induced hippocampal injury remains untested. Temporal lobe epilepsy (...

the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a walking (8wk) training program on quality, quantity and some physiological parameters related to sleep in old men. twenty elderly healthy men (age 72.4?7.24 years, height: 163.59?6.11 cm, weight 68.31?9.19kg) were selected randomly and were divided into two groups [walking (n=10) and control (n=10)]. the walking group exercised for eight ...

The present investigation was carried out to obtain information based on per se performances of parents and their combinations for genetic improvement in tomatoes. Ten promising genotypes were crossed a dial manner (excluding reciprocals). Half diallel set 45 F1’s tomato evaluated Randomized Complete Block Design (RBD) with three replications eighteen yield attributing traits during Rabi 2020-2...

A common feeding practice during the dry period is to switch dairy cows to an energy-dense diet 3 wk prepartum, but this practice may lead to the overconsumption of energy and increase the risk of metabolic disease postpartum. The aim of this trial was to compare the metabolic status of transition Holstein dairy cows fed a 77% forage diet (77F; NEl = 1.46 Mcal/kg; NDF = 41%) vs. those fed an 87...
