Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic...

three experiments were conducted to study metabolizable energy, protein quality and chemical composition of four blood meal (bm) samples from local animal rendering plant during 20 days sampling. all experiments were designed in a completely randomized design. the result of first experiment showed that chemical composition averages of bm samples were: dm, 88.43; cp, 77.03; ee, 1.12; ash, 5.01; ...

A collection of related N by M images, such as a set of faces, may be modeled by a manifold embedded in an NM -dimensional Euclidean space called an image manifold. With the modeling of image spaces as manifolds, geometric properties of image manifolds can be studied either theoretically or experimentally. A practical result of the investigation of image manifolds provides an insight into image...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of CSF lactate (L(CSF)) for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis (BM) following neurosurgery, and compare it with other CSF markers. METHODS Prospective study of consecutive neurosurgical postoperative patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Maciel Hospital. Patients with clinical suspicion of BM were categorised, according to preset c...

Introduction. Video recordings of lectures are no longer a rarity in the conditions distance learning. Videos may be an inconvenient format for students or contain different artifacts due to compression, camera quality, and other factors. It is useful have presentation study material, which contains only text from board because such view material most like compendium. Purpose. The item our work...

the present study was initiated to derive an indirect method for estimating body fat mass (bfm) and to evaluate the correlation between indirect anthropometric techniques for this estimation and to examine the relation of these parameters and of iq to age of menarche. a total of 578 adolescent girls of ten junior high schools in five educational districts of mashhad, participated in a cross sec...

The newly established ovarian cell line of Bombyx mori, DZNU-Bm-12 was tested for its susceptibility to homologous nucleopolyhedrovirus, BmNPV. The BmNPV was serially passaged in the cell line for five times along with the other four cell lines Bm-1, Bm-16 and Bm-17 which is established in our laboratory and Bm-5 is a widely used cell line. All the cell lines are susceptible to BmNPV. The overa...
