Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the effects of a carbon nanotube (CNT) on the properties of the fluorouracil (F-Uracil) anticancer drug. To achieve the purpose, a molecular model including both of F-Uracil and CNT molecules was created to represent the CNT@F-Uracil compound. The optimized parameters indicated that the new compound could show new proper...

introduction: pentylenetetrazol (ptz) is one of the most often used epileptogenic agents. several effects of this epileptogenic drug have been described, but the mechanism of the epileptogenic action of ptz at the cellular level is still unclear. in this study the effect of ptz, on the ionic currents of d5 neuronal soma membrane in helixaspersa, using intracellular recording technique was inves...

terms and conditions of current drinking water quality standards, including reducing the maximum arsenic concentration from 50 μgl-1 to 10 μgl-1 and predicted stricter standards in future, reveals the necessity for development of new technologies. this study aimed to prepare and evaluate a new nanocomposite membrane using graphene oxide (go) thin layer to remove arsenic (v) from water. to fabri...

background: the study of rheological properties of blood has special interest since it is a circulating fluid exposed to shear rates during its life time. this work aims to investigate the influence of whole body gamma irradiation on the rheological properties of rat’s blood. the applied shear rate was from 12 to 375 s-1. low shear viscosity (up to 100 s-1) depends mainly on the erythrocytes ag...

introduction: some dental sealers have neurotoxic effects on neuronaltissues. these effects appear to be mediated through the inhibition of ionic channels. intracellular recording was performed on neuronal cells tocharacterize the underlying ionic mechanisms of neurotoxicity induced by roth 801. materials and methods: experiments were carried out on f1 neuronal soma membrane located in the righ...
