Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment remains a challenge for the clinician, as no available therapy is able to cure the infection in all treated patients. In the last two decades, several antibiotic combinations have been proposed, including triple therapies, bismuth-free therapies (sequential, concomitant, hybrid regimens), and bismuth-based quadruple therapy. Some national and internatio...

dehghan (ksc 400) is an early-medium maturity grain maize hybrid that has been developed from a cross between two inbred lines (ke72012/12×k1263/1). this cross was carried out in 1997, for the first time. the characteristics of dehghan hybrid were studied in different trials (preliminary, semi final, final and on farm trials) in several locations during 1997 to 2005. the mean grain yield of the...

in this study 18 forage corn (zea mays l.) hybrid varieties were evaluated based on rcbd with four replications in khorasan razavi agricultural and natural resources research centre, iran, on 2008-2009. result of analysis of variance showed that there was significantly difference between hybrids in forage yield, ear weight and ear to biomass ratio. results of hybrids mean comparison with duncan...

Background: Gastric cancer is an important health problem across the world. Chemotherapy in combination with local treatment is standard treatment for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancers. The purpose of this investigation was evaluation of response and tolerability to neoadjuvant EOX regimen in locoregionally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: patients with locoregionally adv...

This paper investigated the moisture absorption, mechanical behavior and the dielectric performance of hybrid and non-hybrid polymeric composites. Hand lay-up technique was used for processing carbon; glass reinforced polyester resin composites (non-hybrid) and carbon-glass/polyester hybrid composites with various fiber configurations. The maximum resistance of water absorption was obtained for...

Single or repetitive i.p. injections of Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) induced a selective marked decrease in blood and bone marrow lymphocytes in mice, suggesting that PHA might have a specific immunosuppressive effect. To test this hypothesis, parallel' experiments were conducted using female C57Bl/6J (H-2b) mice as recipients and either female C3H/HeJ (H-2k) or female (C57Blx C3He) Fl (H-2b,k) hyb...

As the number of cancer survivors treated with radiation as a part of their therapy regimen is constantly increasing, so is concern about radiation-induced cancers. This increases the need for therapeutic and mitigating agents against secondary neoplasias. Development and efficacy testing of these agents requires not only extensive in vitro assessment, but also a set of reliable animal models o...

BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhea is a common condition in women, which is characterized by menstrual pain. Low-dose estrogen/progestin combined oral contraceptives have been shown to reduce the severity of dysmenorrhea symptoms, and a 28-day cyclic regimen of ethinylestradiol/drospirenone (28d regimen) is approved for this indication in Japan. AIM The aim of this study was to assess the safety and eff...
