childhood hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection causes both medical and public health challenges. infants who acquire hbv parentally have up to 90% risk of developing chronic hbv infection. it is now estimated that approximately 10% of worldwide cancers are attributable to viral infection, with the vast majority (>85 %) occurring in the developing world. in this distribution, elevated rate and prev...

to be fairly general and catalyst is easily separated by magnetic devices and can be reused without any apparent loss of activity for the reaction. fe3o4 nanoparticles were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method and was found to be a mild and effective catalyst for the efficient, one-pot, three-component synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles at room temperature under ultrasound irra...

eggshell was found to be a versatile heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives in good yields. this protocol has the advantages of environmental friendliness, short reaction time, low cost and convenient operation.

the aim of our work was to compare cytotoxic and membrane-damaging effects of o. majorana l. essential oil and linalool on hep g2 and to investigate their possible protective (antioxidant) effects against h2o2 induced membrane damage. the oils were investigated by gc and gc-ms and antioxidant activity was evaluated by dpph and -carotene–linoleic acid assays. assessment of cell viability was ma...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of flat sheet membrane bioreactor (fs-mbr) in bod 5 and cod removal of isfahan south municipal wastewater treatment plant. methods: in this study a submerged fs-mbr, with 140 liters volume was fed using microfiltration membrane (mf) during 109 days and hydraulic retention time of 20 hours. findings: the mbr application in m...

bis-(l-tyrosinato)copper(ii) was reacted with 3-(chloropropyl)-trimethoxysilane functionalized silica that has infused magnetite to yield a magnetically separable catalyst in which the copper carboxylate is covalently linked to the silica matrix through the silane linkage. the immobilized catalyst has been characterized by spectroscopic studies (such as ft-ir, epr, magnetic measurement, sem) an...

background: the heterogeneous composition of the human body presents numerous tissue types and cavities with widely differing radiologic properties. the aim of the present work was to develop a low cost homogeneous and heterogeneous phantom and the absorbed dose were measured by ionization chamber for different radiotherapy treatment techniques and compared with treatment planning system absorb...

fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation of fe2+ and fe3+ in aqueous naoh. then silica was coated on the obtained nanoparticles and the whole composite was functionalized with chlorosulfonic acid in ch2cl2. the obtained nanocomposite (fe3o4@sio2-so3h) was characterized by ft-ir, vsm and xrd techniques and was used as an efficient catalyst in condensation reaction of ind...

Cholesterol is a molecule, which plays essential structural role in eucaryotic cells; which includes 30 – 50 mol % of cholesterol. It increases the orientational order of membrane lipid chains and decreases membrane permeability while maintaining membrane fluidity. When added to the phospholipids in model membranes at concentrations higher than 30 mol % it maintains the membrane in liquid order...

Abstract Objectives: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous membrane in diameter of 30-5000 nm, that transport proteins, non-coding RNAs (miRNAs), lipids and metabolites. Major populations include exosomes, ectosomes apoptotic bodies. The purpose this study was to compare the distribution EVs obtained under different conditions differential centrifugation, including ultracentrifugation,...
