OBJECTS Beta tricalciumphosphate pellets loaded with individualized antibiotics may represent novel options in the treatment of osteomyelitis and infectious bone disease. Here, the in vitro antibiotic elution of vancomycin and gentamicin from the synthetic bone graft substitutes Cerasorb(®) and Cerasorb M(®) was tested. METHODS Antibiotic elution and concentration of gentamcin and vancomycin ...

to evaluate the efficiency of nanocid as growth promoter in comparison antibiotics and with organic acids on performance and intestinal morphometric characteristics of broiler chickens, 240 male broiler chicks of one dayage (ross 308) were utilized in an experiment of a completely randomized design of 4 treatments and 4 replicates. the experimental treatments included: 1) control (no additives)...

this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, digestibility, degradability and nutritive value of madder, rubia tinctorum l.  and alfalfa medicago sativa. using in vitro and in situ measurements. the mean values for om, cp, ndf, adf and ee were 892.5, 172.0, 306.5, 219.4 and 16.0 g/kg dm for madder hay, and 921.3, 141.4, 482.0, 361.1 and 6.50 g/kg dm for alfalfa hay, respectiv...

background: based on literature, in vitro cholesterol removal of lactic acid bacteria has been accounted for their in vivo cholesterol reduction. but recently, it has been proposed that such in vitro characteristic may not be directly relevant to their in vivo activity. the objective of this study was to find how much in vitro cholesterol reducing potential of lactobacillus plantarum a7 (la7), ...

rate of in vitro maturation of oocytes is one of the challenges of assisted reproductive techniques. in this study we investigated the effects of supplementation of cysteamine on the rate of in vitro maturation of oocytes in two different media. germinal vesicle oocytes were collected from mouse ovary and cultured in two media (tcm199 and meme) with 0, 50, 100, 200, 500 µm/ml cysteamine. number...

background: dominant lactic acid bacteria (lab) originally isolated from traditional non-dairy fermented foods, may harbor unique characteristics such as probiotic properties. in this research, probiotic potential of dominant lab isolated from pickled garlic was studied. methods: after isolation of dominant lab from pickled garlic produced with apple cider vinegar, the isolate was identified by...

introduction: spreading depression (sd) is a propagating wave of depolarization followed by depression of the neuroglial activities and can modulate extracellular dopamine concentrations in the neocortex. it has been shown that the dopaminergic system plays a role in migraine. sd has been suggested as a critical phenomenon in the pathophysiology of migraine. the aim of this study was to investi...

background: endometrial secretion analysis is a non-invasive and promising method in evaluation of endometrial receptivity. objective: the aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between the success rate of ivf procedures and some endometrial secretion cytokines, including interleukin-1β (il-1β), tumor necrosis factor (tnf-α), interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (ip-10), and mon...

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the in vivo (analgesic, antidiarrheal, neurological, and cytotoxic) and in vitro (antioxidant, antimicrobial, thrombolytic and anthelmintic) activity of different fractions of methanolic extract of Momordica charantia. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant property ...
