Ultrasmall nanoparticles are potential candidates for application as high-performance imaging agents. Herein, we present the synthesis and characterization of folic acid (FA)-conjugated polyacrylic (PAA)-coated MnO with an average particle diameter 2.7 nm. FA conferred cancer-targeting ability, while PAA good colloidal stability low cellular cytotoxicity on FA-PAA-coated nanoparticles. Further,...

background there is currently great concern about the possible adverse effect of microwave radiation from cell phones. in addition, noise is one of the physical pollutants of modern societies. objectives the present study aimed to examine the separate and simultaneous effects of cell phone microwaves, noise, and their effects on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in adult male rats...

background: cystic echinococcosis (ce), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. it enhances both humoral and cellular (th1 and th2) responses in infected host. different antigens of the worm may favor the th1 or th2 immune responses in ce patients. objective: to evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of balb/c mice agai...

Position location of mobile terminals is one of the most challenging issues nowadays. Apart from the large number of value added services that can be offered to the users, network support is one of the most useful applications for the cellular operators. The information used for positioning can be evaluated locally, so that the operator can enhance the network’s performance without requiring us...

background: growth factors play an essential role in the development of tumor and normal cells like testicular leydig cells. treatment of cancer with anti-cancer agents like imatinib mesylate may interfere with normal leydig cell activity, growth and fertility through failure in growth factors’ production or their signaling pathways. the purpose of the study was to determine cellular viability ...

background and objectives: otostegia persica (burm.) boiss. is an endemic plant of iran with various applications in traditional medicine which contains of several antioxidant constituents. this research was aimed to investigate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract from o. persica aerial parts in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (huvecs) using hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) as an inducer of oxi...
