background: the association between lipid peroxidation biomarkers and adipocytokines is hypothesized in preeclampsia but little is known about it. objective: the present study was undertaken to determine the association of lipid peroxidation biomarkers measured by the levels of 8-isoprostane and malondialdehyde with adipocytokines leptin and adiponectin in maternal serum of preeclamptic women. ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of soy milk on serum 17- β estradiol level and number of neurons in cerebral cortex and hippocampus as well as determination of the ratio of neurons in cortical and hippocampal regions in neonatal ovariectomized rats. thirty female rats (one day old) were divided into six groups of five. at day 7, ovariectomy surgery was performed in four groups a...

immune responses play critical roles in the leishmaniasis eradication. il-10 is a key regulator of immune responses, and the polymorphisms within its promoter region are associated with alteration in its expression. therefore, this study was designed to examine the correlation between polymorphism at the -1082 position of the il-10 gene and visceral leishmaniasis (vl).the il-10 -1082 polymorphi...

{sl let $[n]={1,dots, n}$ be colored in $k$ colors. a rainbow ap$(k)$ in $[n]$ is a $k$ term arithmetic progression whose elements have different colors. conlon, jungi'{c} and radoiv{c}i'{c} cite{conlon} prove that there exists an equinumerous 4-coloring of $[4n]$ which is rainbow ap(4) free, when $n$ is even. based on their construction, we show that such a coloring of ...

coordination of cu+ ions adsorbed on plausible sites of a silicalite-2 lattice has been investigated computationally via hybrid density functional theory method at the b3lyp/6-311+g* and b3lyp/def2-tzvp levels of theory using molecular models of the active site. the symmetrical coordination of cu+ ions to almost five oxygen atoms of the all-silica framework in six-membered ring (6mr) sites of t...

recent evidences suggest that multiple myeloma phenotypes (mmps) are involved in the infiltration of multiple myeloma-affected marrow foci. in this study, the effects of arsenic trioxide on the invasive and angiogenic phenotypes of multiple myeloma (mm) cell line were assessed on a dose-response and time-course basis. multiple myeloma cell line, karpas 707, was treated with step-wise elevated c...

a facile and efficient method for the preparation of 1, 1-diacetates of aldehydes is improved.p2o5/sio2 catalyzed 1, 1-diacetates formation from aldehydes in dry media. advantages of this methodare the use of an inexpensive and selective catalyst with high yields in simple operation and shortreaction time under solvent-free conditions.

background and objectives : pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important gram negative opportunistic bacteria which causes infection among burn patients. resistance to the antibiotics in this group of bacteria is increased due to the activity of extended spectrum β-lactamase (esbls) genes. in the current study, we investigated the prevalence of two genes (blaper-1 & blaoxa10) related β-l...

objective: previous studies showed that grape seed extract (gse) is an excellent natural substance with potent antioxidant effect and free radical scavenger. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of gse on motor dysfunctions and thalamic local electroencephalography (eeg) frequency bands' powers in rats with parkinson's disease (pd). materials and methods: in this study 8 µg 6-hydro...
