background: telomerase activity increases in cancer cells. bcl-2 is an antiapoptotic factor that its concentration grows in many cancer cells including hepatocellular carcinoma cells. in this study, an attempt was made to investigate the effects of a new synthetic compound, platinum azidothymidine (pt-azt) on treatment of rats with hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) and to compare its effects with ...

effects of yeast extract (ye) (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1%) were investigated on rosmarinic acid (ra) accumulation and tyrosine aminotransferase (tat) gene expression in melissa officinalis seedlings at different time intervals (4 and 17 hours). based on the results, only ye concentrations of 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2%, for the 17-hour treatment, significantly stimulated ra biosynthesis pathway. a...

in this study, the milk-derived galactooligosaccharides (gos) were produced by lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and refined by an ultrafiltration-nanofiltration continuous membrane. by further investigation, we found that the gos product purified by gel permeation chromatography mainly contained low molecular weight disaccharide and trisaccharide, that is, 4-β-galactobiose and tri-ga...

this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

forty ewes (3-6 years of age, average weight 41.2 kg)were randomly chosen from the flock of the sheep experiment station of tripoli university. ewes were divided into two groups, control group (c) received untreated barley straw and treatment group (t) received barley straw treated with 10% urea solution applied as 40% (v/w). barley straw was sprayed with molasses when fed to animals. both grou...

introduction: increased levels of certain markers like fibrinogen and homocysteine are independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. considering the numerous favorable effects of healthful nutrition and physical activity on reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, in this study we intend to take into account fasting and physical activity during the month of ramadan an...

in this work, the results concerning to the mean activity coefficient measurements for nacl in the (glycerol + water) system using the potentiometric method are reported. the potentiometric measurements were performed on the galvanic cells without liquid junction of the type: ag|agcl|nacl (m), glycerol (wt%), h2o (1 - wt)%|na-ise, in various mixed solvent systems containing 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 ...

the anticonvulsant activity of astragalus squarrosus total extract was assessed in pentylenetetrazole (ptz)-induced convulsion in mice, with diazepam as the standard drug, while mechanistic studies were also conducted using flumazenil, a gaba a-benzodiazepine receptor complex site antagonist. the extract produced protection against convulsion at 400 mg/kg, comparable with protection of benzodia...
