we aimed to evaluate the potential of growing rats as a model of osteoporosis induced by short term hypercholesterolemia. twelve growing female sprague-dawley rats were randomly allocated into two groups. control rats received standard diet while rats in group 2 were fed with diet contained 20% sunflower oil, 2% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid for 2 weeks and then a diet contained 10% sunflowe...

abstract background: conflict is the lack of agreement and disagreement between the two men, and behavioral maladjustment or objectives that are in opposition to the other. destructive conflicts are incidents imposed on one or more than one member of the family or the whole family and affect on them. the purpose of this research is to study the effect of solution - focused short-term approach o...

background: spermatogonial stem cells are subpopulation of spermatogonial cells in testis tissue that support beginning and maintenance of spermatogenesis. ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase l1 (uchl1) could be a specific marker for identification of spermatogonial stem cells including spermatogonial sperm cells (sscs) in testis tissue and during the culture; therefore we undertook this study...

introduction: previous studies indicate that exercise influences cognitive function. nevertheless, considering that exercise in animal study can be voluntary, or forced, effects of exercise (specially forced exercise) on learning and memory abides as a matter of controversy. the present study aimed to investigate the effects of treadmill exercise on ltp in the dentate gyrus of rats. methods: th...

background: in some areas of ramsar, a city in northern iran, residents receive a much higher annual radiation exposure than is permitted for radiation workers. induction of adaptive response in residents of ramsar has been reported previously. in this study induction of such a response in short term exposure to high background levels of gamma radiation is investigated. materials and methods: f...

introduction: over the last decade, exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic waves due to base station antenna has increased. this in vivo study was planned for evaluating the effects of whole-body exposure to 950 mhz field of gsm mobile phone system on rat dentate gyrus long-term potentiation. materials and methods: 24 naive male wistar rats (3 month old, 225|¡|25 g) were randomly divided in t...

in this paper, we discuss the geometric properties of solution and lower bound estimate of ∆um−1 of the cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic equation with periodic source term ut =∆um+ upsint. our objective is to show that: (1)with continuous variation of time t, the surface ϕ = [u(x,t)]mδq is a complete riemannian manifold floating in space rn+1and is tangent to the space rn at ∂h0(t); (2...

sewage effluent is the carrier of huge amounts of n (0.09 to 0.16%), p (0.023 to 0.029 %), and k (0.11 to 0.18%) and as well as it is rich in organic carbon (3.27%). transfer of the toxic trace metal (pb) from the contaminated site can be seized out from the food chain through application of feso4.7h2o and caso4 in a larger area. the efficacy of the toxic metal immobilization through an applica...

With the emergence of the phenomenon of "Arab revolutions", the Middle East has entered a new era. The investigation of the goals of the Arab revolutions requires their pathology. The developments of the Arab world, although occurred with the self-immolation of a young Tunisian and its widespread reflection in the global media, but these events origins returns to the previous years.
