Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is occasionally observed following consumption of raw fruits in allergic adults. Since this phenomenon was commonly reported in Khorasan province of Iran; we intended to check if common diagnostic tests could be applied for differential diagnosis of OAS to grapes. IgE reactivity of 84 patients with OAS to grape and 34 patients with OAS to other fruits were analyzed b...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to improve different characteristics including antibacterial, antioxidant and physical properties of nanochitosan film by incorporating Mentha spicata essential oil (EO) and methanolic pomegranate peel and grape seed extracts. Methods: The determination of the chemical composition of M. spicata EO was conducted by means of gas chromatography with ma...

In an attempt to determine the antioxidant/prooxidant, antibacterial/probacterial action of flavan-3-ols and procyanidins from grape seeds, pure catechin (CS), and an aqueous grape seed extract (PE), were applied in the absence and presence of pure lipoxygenase (LS) or in extract (LE) to leucocyte culture, Escherichia coli B 41 and Brevibacterium linens, and observed whether there was any effec...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of citrus aurantifolia (ca) extract on smear layer removal in different parts of root canals. materials and methods: thirty-nine single-rooted human teeth were randomly divided into three experimental ( n =12) and one control ( n =3) groups. teeth were instrumented using mtwo rotary instruments. root canals were irrigated with...

The present study is aimed at investigating the effect of nicotine administration on carbohydrate metabolic enzymes in the brain tissue of male albino rat. In vitro studies showed that Red grape (Vitis vinifera) has significant antioxidant activity, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory action. Nicotine induces oxidative stress both in vivo and in vitro that causes a peroxidant/antioxidant imbalance...

Iranian patients with breast cancer are younger than their Western counterparts. Dracocephalum kotschyi is a wild-growing flowering plant belonging to the family Labiatae and found in Iran. This plant has been applied in Iran folk medicine. The aim of this study ...

in order to investigate the effects of peppermint (mentha piperita l.) alcoholic extract on liver injury caused by the oxidant carbon tetrachloride (ccl4), an experiment was performed as a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement (2 × 2) with 4 replications of 10 broilers each. factors included two levels of peppermint leaf alcoholic extract (0 and 2 ml/kg body weight) and ccl4 (...
