granulomatous response in association with breast cancer and within the cancer draining lymph nodes is an extremely rare phenomenon. granulomatous inflammation is an immune response commonly seen against infectious agents and certain non-neoplastic conditions. the etiopathogenesis of granulomas associated with malignancies is not clear but it may be because of an immunologic reaction to tumour ...

in some conditions, to avoid deterioration and field losses of soybean seeds (glycine max merr.) from weathering at end of the season, farmers start to harvest seeds with a high moisture content and so, careful post-harvest drying would be required to maintain the physiological quality of seeds. response surface methodology (rsm) was used to optimize the operating conditions of soybean seed dry...

background: occurrence of resistance against antibioticsand inadequate efficacy of some vaccines necessitates studies ofnatural immunostimulators in aquaculture. shrimps shell derivedfrom chitosan can be used as immune stimulators in fish.objectives: in this study, the effects of oral administration ofchitosan, derived from shrimp shell, on some immune responsesand disease resistance in cyprinu...

objective(s): response surface methodology (rsm) by central composite design (ccd) was applied to statistically optimize the preparation of rutin-quercetin (ru-qr) dual drug loaded human hair keratin nanoparticles as well as evaluate the characteristics. materials and methods: the effects of three independent parameters, namely, temperature (x1:10-40 c), surfactant (x2: sds (1), sls (2), tween-...

difference aspects of multinomial statistical modelings and its classifications has been studied so far. in these type of problems y is the qualitative random variable with t possible states which are considered as classifications. the goal is prediction of y based on a random vector x ? ir^m. many methods for analyzing these problems were considered. one of the modern and general method of cla...

the serious influenza-associated complications among immunodeficient individuals such as those who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), highlights the importance of influenza vaccination in these people. therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the antibody responses to influenza vaccine in this group. two hundred subjects were recruited, during autumn 2010 and 2011, t...

inulin is widely used in functional foods throughout the world for its health-promoting and technological properties. helianthus tuberosus is cultivated widely in the northern part of iran. helianthus tuberosus can be a valuable source of inulin. to optimize conventional extraction of inulin, various combinations of time, temperature, and solvent: solid ratio, were used. in this research, a ser...

gelatin is a protein hydrocolloid. because of its unique characteristics such as gel forming, thickening, stabilizing, emulsifiing, foam and film forming, is widely used in food industries. in this research, in order to optimize the factors which affect enzymatic extraction method of gelatin ,the effects of three variables, enzyme concentrations(2-10 ppm), time(8-16 hours) and temperature(60-80...

background: bleeding events in hemophilic patients with inhibitors are managed by bypassing agents. currently available agents in iran are recombinant activated factor vii (rfviia; aryogen, aryoseven) and feiba (factor eight inhibitor bypassing agent). no standardized and accurate assay is currently available for monitoring the effectiveness of bypassing agents. we suggested that history of the...
