inhalant anaesthetics are used widely for producing general anaesthesia in animals and humans.. approximately 20% of halothane uptake is metabolised via oxidative and reductive pathways during and following halothane anaesthesia in humans. fifteen clinically healthy dogs were assigned in three groups (group 1, 2and 3) randomly. all dogs were anesthetized with halothane three times that was repe...

Abstract Herein, two new polymers designated as Cs-EATT and Cs-BATT have been synthesized via linking the chitosan with 1,3,4-thiadiazole compounds. They were characterized using 1 H, 13 C-NMR, FT-IR, TGA, Elemental analysis, Mass spectrum, UV–vis spectrophotometer. The exhibit high activity to control growth of pathogenic bacteria ( S. aureus , B. subtilis E. coli, P. aeruginosa ), unicellular...

background and purpose:   methods:   results:   conclusion:

objective(s): although low-dose radiotherapy (rt) that involves low collateral damage is more suitable for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) than traditional high-dose rt, but to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect with low-dose rt, it is necessary to sensitize hcc cells to irradiation. this study was aimed to determine whether radiosensitivity of hcc cells can be enhanced using mir-26b by tar...

the evaluation and comparison of somatotype with elite athletes is a method to predict the chances of success in sports particularly in the olympic sport of wrestling. the aim of the present study was to describe the somatotypic profile of 9-13-year-old boys in northern, mountainous and desert areas with a territorial planning approach and an emphasis on the geographical areas potential for wre...

introduction: the neuroprotective role of opioid morphine against 6-hydroxydopamineinduced cell death has been demonstrated. however, the exact mechanism(s) underlying such neuroprotection, especially the role of subtype receptors, has not yet been fully clarified. methods: here, we investigated the effects of different opioid agonists on 6-ohda-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma sh-s...

in this research, temporal and spatial behavior of siberian high (sh) was studied at the level of 1000 h.pa. this study has been done using daily data of geo potential height at 12 gmt in ncep/ncar database with spatial resolution of 2.5ã—2.5 degree in a 55 years period including 20089 days from january, 1st, 1951(dey, 11th, 1329) to december, 31st,2005(dey, 10th,1384). at first, the mean geo p...

background: it has been proposed that oxidative stress plays an important role in male infertility. the aims of this study were to compare seminal plasma levels of 15-f2t-isoprostane (8-iso-pgf2?), malondialdehyde (mda), and total (sum of free and bound) homocysteine (thcy) in normozoospermic vs. asthenozoospermic men, and to examine the relationships between thcy and lipid peroxidation product...

objective(s) in addition to antihypertensive effects, amlodipine may exhibit cardiovascular protective effects in heart tissue. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of amlodipine and/or high cholesterol diet on blood, heart tissue concentration and mrna expression of endothelin-1 (et-1) in male new zealand white rabbits. materials and methods a total of 40 male new zealand rabbits ...

background and objectives: infunction of the photosynthetic apparatus of halophytes plays an important role in their salinity tolerance. kochia as a halophyte, is of high ability in biomass production in salinity stress conditions. thus study photosynthesis and the related factors salinity stress can provide appropriate physiological view for better understanding of the plant mechanisms of in s...
