conclusions using the pcr-rflp method, three distinctive h. pylori caga genotypes were detected in antral biopsies. genotype i, which was predominant among the isolates, was significantly associated with gastritis. however, the data showed that caga genotype iii may play a role in duodenitis and duodenal ulcers in patients infected with h. pylori. patients and methods a total of 161 gastric bio...

background human t-lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-i) is one of the health threatening problems in endemic areas and can be transmitted by different routes such as blood transfusion. in order to correct chronic anemia in thalassemia subjects, they may need to get blood units per month. thus, they are at risk of infection with blood-borne viruses such as htlv-i. objectives in the present study, ...

conclusions the results revealed, the specific primers that amplified the ente gene were able to amplify the staphylococcal enterotoxin-like toxin type p gene. the specific primers for the entp gene were amplified a fragmented gene (700 bp) showed 100% homology with entp reference gene and also 80% homology with enta and ente genes. results the pcr amplification method was optimized for entp ge...

an amplification polymerase chain reaction (pcr) test for the direct detection of chlamydia trachomatis in urethral and endocervical swab specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic women and men were compared to standard culture technique. during 6 months, 300 endocervical swab specimens from 205 asymptomatic women (64.4%) and 95 symptomatic women (31.6%), and 187 urethral swab specimens from ...

we have used tungestophosphoric acid to catalyze oxidative amidation reaction from benzyl alcohols and methylarens with hydrochloride salts of amines. to achieve this purpose, modified magnetic nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@sio2@h3pw12o40) were applied as catalyst and tbhp as external oxidant. after optimizing, different derivates of benzamides were synthesized in good yields. also, the result of two ...

background: s. alopecuroides, z. officinale and m. officinalis are used traditionally in the treatment of pain. objective: to evaluate the plants effects in the rat formalin test and their activity on the opioid receptors. methods: each rat was placed individually in a cage for 30 min to get acclimated. then 0.05 ml of 10% formalin was injected subcutaneously into the dorsal surface of the righ...

conclusions based on our study, plca and hlya played a key role in the virulence determination of l. monocytogenes. data analysis also showed that l. monocytogenes could be a causative agent of abortion in pregnant women. results out of 96 samples, 16 isolates of l. monocytogenes by pcr (plca and hlya) and four isolates by culture were identified. there was a significant difference between pcr ...

results using these two sets, we identified h1069q mutation in four patients, c.2335t > g mutation in three, c.3061-1g > a splice site mutation in five, c.3305t > c mutation in one, and c.3809a > g mutation in two patients. conclusions the multiplex arms assay used in this study can be an efficient, reliable, and cost effective method as a primary screen for patients with wilson disease. patien...

abstract        background and objective: chabahar is in southern iran located near the iran-pakistan border. since leishmaniasis is an emerging disease in this region, this study aimed to diagnose the disease and identify different species of leishmania parasite in the patients referred to the central laboratory.       methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2011-2012 ...
