We previously reported that Astragaloside IV (ASIV), a major active constituent of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch) Bge protects against cardiac hypertrophy in rats induced by isoproterenol (Iso), however the mechanism underlying the protection remains unknown. Dysfunction of cardiac energy biosynthesis contributes to the hypertrophy and Nuclear Factor κB (NF-κB)/Peroxisome Proliferator-Activate...

Chronic oxygen exposure in the newborn rat results in lung isoprostane formation, which may contribute to the pulmonary hypertension evident in this animal model. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pulmonary arterial smooth muscle responses to 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) (8-iso-PGF(2a)) in newborn rats exposed to 60% O2 for 14 days. Because, in the adult rat, 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) m...

university theses and dissertations are among those credible sources of information which, with regard to their given status of value, and the use of update resources using the international regulations and standards, can be perfect sources for optimal recovery of information and can increase the scientific credibility. this study reviews the accordance of the pharmaceutical theses of shahid be...

The international community, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is currently seeking more granular systems of language identifiers than the widely used tags of ISO 639 parts 1 and 2. There is growing need for the more precise identification and annotation of language-based resources. This paper presents a key response to this need, in which the Linguasphere Regi...

results out of 66 patients, 61 (19 in group a, 20 in group b, and 22 in group c) completed the study period, and before intervention, all groups were equal in terms of quality and quantity variables (p > 0.05). after intervention, there was a significant difference between the three groups with regard to the variables of dialysis adequacy based on kt/v and urr to independent-t test and repeated...

Web-based asynchronous store-and-forward telemedicine systems for diagnostic purposes, which enable the consultation of one (or more) distant health care professional(s) by a locally present health care professional concerning a patient‘s diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve healthcare services. Yet, developing high-quality asynchronous store-andforward telemedicine systems (ASFTSs...

Abstract For measuring trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA), there are two major official methods: American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) method Ba 12a‐2020 and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14902:2001. The former was recently approved. methods differ in sample preparation, extraction, colorimetric assay systems TIA calculations. In this study, the were symmetrically compared u...
