tissue culture is an attractive alternative for plant propagation. micropropagation is a technique to ensure a constant and uniform source of ornamental plants. matthiola incana is an important ornamental species mainly cultivate by seed. matthiola incana seeds were germinated on solid ms medium without plant growth regulators. shoot proliferation and root formation are possible using kinetin (...

OBJECTIVE Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) or Betadine, owing to its antineoplastic activity, is also used as an adjuvant during intra-abdominal or intrathoracic surgery. However, the protocol of PVP-I administration has not been optimized to achieve the best antitumoural efficacy. We aimed to determine the optimal concentration of PVP-I, the time of incubation and the mechanism of cell death by analysi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and MR spectroscopy are noninvasive, quantitative tools for the preoperative assessment of gliomas with which the quantitative parameter fractional anisotropy (FA) and the concentration of neurometabolites N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), creatine (Cr) of the brain can be determined. Measurements of FA and NAA reflect the integrity of...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and interventional tumor removal (ITR), with PVP alone for malignant vertebral compression fractures and/or spinal metastatic tumor with epidural involvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 124 patients were selected for PVP and ITR (n = 71, group A) and PVP alone (n = 53, group B). A 14 G needle...

In this research, CaO (calcium oxide) nanoparticles were synthesized by Co-Precipitation method in the absence and presence of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) via using calcium (II) nitrate. The Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. The synthesized samples were characterized via SEM, XRD and FTIR techniques. The average sizes of nan...

The experiment was conducted to study the response of summer onion N2 and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA). consisted two factors. Factor A: 4 levels Nitrogen viz. N0-0kg (control), N1-90kg ha-1, N2-110kg ha-1 N3-130kg B: NAA H0-0ppm, H1- 50ppm, H2-100ppm H3-150ppm. laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Results revealed that terms nitrogen, highest bulb diameter (4....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To assess the influence of risk factors on the rates and kinetics of peripheral vein phlebitis (PVP) development and its theoretical influence in absolute PVP reduction after catheter replacement. METHODS All peripheral short intravenous catheters inserted during one month were included (1201 catheters and 967 patients). PVP risk factors were assessed by a Cox propor...

OBJECTIVE Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) using GreenLight and Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is an important surgical technique for management of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). We aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of PVP using a 120 W GreenLight laser with HoLEP in a small prostate volume. METHODS Patients who underwent PVP or HoLEP surger...
