the purpose of the present survey was to determine the effects of the chitosan and atorvastatin on serum lipid profile changes and the influence of time on treatment process in cats. for the management of cholesterol induced hyperlipidemia, twenty-one healthy cats were randomly divided into three equal groups. group a (control) included seven cats that were fed with cholesterol powder (4 g/kg f...

pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important life-threatening nosocomial pathogen and plays a prominent role in serious infections in burned patients. the current study was undertaken to characterize p. aeruginosa strains isolated from burned patients in tehran, iran. the study was conducted in a major burn center in tehran, iran in 2007. a total of seventy specimens obtained from different clinical ...

shigellosis is an acute gastroenteritis caused by shigella species. the purpose of this study was to determine plasmid profile, antibiotic resistance and phenotypic virulent by congo red between s. flexneri strains. the isolated bacteria were identified by standard bacterial and biochemical methods. plasmids were isolated by alkaline lysis method. antibiotic susceptibility test was performed ac...

background: the prevalence of childhood obesity has risen dramatically in past several decades. hormonal and genetic factor are rarely the cause of childhood obesity. because obese children may suffer life long physical and emotional consequences, this imperative to discuss prevention with parents during well- child examinations. the obesity–related cardiovascular and lipid profiles are determi...

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V; Wechsler, 2014 ) provides a general intelligence score, representing g, and five index scores, reflecting underlying broad factors. Within person differences between the overall performance across subtests denoted as difference are often used to examine profiles of strengths weaknesses. In this study, validity such was examined...

The expression profiles of selected genes including the product gene, anabolic and stress responsive genes were quantitatively analyzed in cells producing the human basic fibroblast growth factor (hFGF-2), a protein that partially aggregates into inclusion bodies. Transcriptome profiles during temperatureand IPTG-induced synthesis of hFGF-2 using the K12 strain TG1 and BL21(DE3) as production h...

Drug mode of action (MOA) of novel compounds has been predicted using phenotypic features or, more recently, comparing side effect similarities. Attempts to use gene expression data in mammalian systems have so far met limited success. Here, we built a drug similarity network starting from a public reference dataset containing genome-wide gene expression profiles (GEPs) following treatments wit...

The website On the website http://finprog.primed.info a selection of prognostic factors are available for case-match survival estimation (figure).* The default selection in the drop down list for each factor is “all,” which means that no selection has been made for the specific factor. The user can enter a prognostic factor profile by selecting any of the categories in the drop down lists. The ...
