background: using human skin-fibroblast cell line hf2ff, the efficacy of some drugs was evaluated against sulfur mustard (sm) cytotoxicity. the drugs were the sulfhydryl containing molecule including n-acetylcysteine (nac), 2-oxo-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate (otc) and acetaminophen as glutathione (gsh) stimulator pathway. methods: the protective effects of nac (0.1 mm), otc (1.8 mm), and acetamin...

Thirty-two halothane-negative pigs (109 +/- 0.6 kg of BW) were used to determine the effect of pig age at marketing (and thus growth rate), and magnesium supplementation through drinking water, on pork quality. Two initial groups of 50 pigs that differed by 30 +/- 2 d of age were fed diets to meet or exceed nutrient requirements beginning at 28 kg of BW. Sixteen average, representative pigs wer...

2014The positional order correlation length « 03BE~ » parallel to the smectic (Sm) layers in the G, F and C phases of HBHA (7O.6) has been measured by X-ray diffraction. In the Sm-G phase its value is limited by crystallite size and lies between 1200-1500 A. At the Sm-G to -F transition 03BE ~ changes from 300 to 180 A with a temperature dependence predicted by a dislocation mediated melting mo...

sulfur mustard (sm) has been used as a chemical weapon in some conflicts, and many veterans and civilians have been injured thereby. pulmonary, cutaneous, and ocular effects of sm have been frequently reported, although it seems that other organs such as the cardiovascular system are probably also affected. there are a number of studies evaluating the cardiovascular impacts of sm. however, thes...

background: despite almost the three decades passed since the chemical attacks of iraqi’s army against the iranian troops, some veterans are still suffering from long-term complications of sulfur mustard (sm) poisoning, including certain skin complaints specially dryness, burning, and pruritus. we thus aimed to evaluate the skin’s water and lipid content in patients with a disability of >25% du...
