The ethnopharmacological approach combined with chemical and biological methods can be a useful model in the field of pharmacology. One these approaches, apitherapy, is use bee hive products for therapeutic purposes. Propolis among best known products. composition propolis varies according to local or endemic flora, species, geographical origin season. This study determine antimicrobial activit...

background: the purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of teucrium polium (tp) leaf extracts on adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (ampk) level in isolated pancreases. materials and methods: in this experimental study, two groups of rats were used as a control group, and diabetic group. in the end of experimental period the animals were sacrificed then pancreas were removed,...

A close relationship has been reported between sediment organic C (SedOC) content and its P sorption capacity (P(max)) and total P (TP) concentration. Phosphorus sorbed to organically complexed cations is a proposed explanation for this relationship. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine relationships between in-stream wetland SedOC content and both the sediment's P(max) and TP con...

Transdermal patches loaded with pravastatin was previously characterized in another published study by Serrano-Castañeda et al; 2015. These transdermal patches (TP) were generated by the plate casting technique, the in vitro percutaneous absorption studies of TP were evaluated for three different formulations of TP with different quantities of Pluronic F-127 (PF-127): i) without PF-127 (TP W), ...

Recent studies have shown a discrepancy between the level of tissue factor (TF) expression and the level of TF procoagulant activity on the apical and basolateral surface domains of polarized epithelial cells. The present investigation was performed to elucidate possible reasons for the discordant expression of TF and its activity on the surface of polarized epithelial cells using a human intes...

We address the problem of Speech Enhancement in a setting where parts of the time-frequency content of the speech signal are missing. In telephony, speech is band-limited and the goal is to reconstruct a wide-band version of the observed data. Quite differently, in Blind Source Separation scenarios, information about a source can be masked by noise or other sources. These masked components are ...

the characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (fe-tf). addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

I n the article by Rautaharju et al, “Electrocardiographic Repolarization-Related Variables as Predictors of Coronary Heart Disease Death in the Women’s Health Initiative Study,” which published online July 28, 2014, and appeared in the August 2014 issue of the journal (J Am Heart Assoc. 2014;3:e001005 doi:10.1161/JAHA.114.001005), two equations appeared incorrectly on page 3, left column, firs...

The Patagonian currant Ribes magellanicum is highly valued due to its pleasant flavor and sweet taste. The aim of this study was to characterize its constituents and to assess their antioxidant and cytoprotective properties. For the fruit phenolic-enriched extract (PEE), total phenolics (TP), total flavonoids (TF), and antioxidant activity (DPPH, Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and Tr...
