macular or maculopapular skin reactions are frequent events in skin allergies as well as in viral infections. clinically, the differentiation may be difficult in the absence of a clear relationship with drug intake or in the failure to detect measles virus-specific antibodies. studies on drug-specific t cell lines and t cell clones isolated from skin-allergy patients have suggested that these c...

background: determination of the impact of angiogenesis on tumor development and progression is essential. this study aimed to determine the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and interleukin 6 (il-6) in breast carcinoma, and to correlate them with tumor size, lymph node involvement, and cancer stage. methods: under aseptic precautions 5 ml of venous blood was collected f...

some 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones have been synthesized by the reaction of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with thiosemicarbazones. the reaction was performed in the presence of 10 mol% of triphenylphosphine and tetrabutylammonium bromide as a phase transfer catalyst in water as a green solvent. all the synthesized compounds were characterized by their physical and spectral data.

background and objective: hyperemesis gravidarum (hg) is defined as vomiting sufficiently severe to produce weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities. interleukin-6 (il-6), a pro-inflammatory and trophoblast-derived cytokine has ability to induce trophoblasts to secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg). the purpose of our study was to assay the level of il-6 and β-hcg in serum of pr...

to design the equipment and facilities for preservation, storage and processing of pomegranate, it is necessary to know the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the fruit components. the specific heat of exocarp, mesocarp and of seeds of pomegranate were assessed at three moisture content levels (30, 50 and 76% for seed and mesocarp; 15, 35 and 52% for exocarp) and at four temperature leve...

introduction: neuropathic pain syndromes are changes resulting from damage to neuronal pathways that are characterized by spontaneous burning sensation with accompanying allodynia and hyperalgesia. since the treatments of neuropathic pain are poorly understood and existing treatments are often ineffective, it is important to increase our understanding of the neuropathic pain states in order to ...

the reaction of an equivalent of 2- mercaptoethyl ammonium chloride with an equivalent of 2,6-diformyl -4- methyl phenol produced monoamine which was reacted with half equivalent of 1,2-diamine ethane to produce ethylene-bis-6-(2-mercapto-ethyl-imine)-methyl -4- methyl phenol [h4l]. the ligand was reacted with metal ions[cr(iii), mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii), and hg(ii...

odontogenic tumors constitute a group of heterogeneous lesions of benign and malignant neoplasms with variable aggressiveness. ameloblastomas are a group of benign but locally invasive neoplasms that occur in the jaws and are derived from epithelial elements of the tooth-forming apparatus. we previously described orosomucoid-1 protein expression in odontogenic myxomas. however, whether orosomuc...

1920x1200 abstract: background: down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality due to 21 trisomy that usually is accompany with congenital heart diseases. about fifty present of children with down syndrome have heart defects. this study was designed for the aim of abundance percents of septal heart defects in children with down syndrome at imam reza and imam ali hospitals in kermansha...

a methodology to regenerate whole plants of fig tree (ficus carica cv. jaami-e-kan) from apical meristem of greenhouse plantlets was developed. two meristematic explants size (0.2-0.4 and 0.5-0.7 mm), two kinds of culture media and three concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (0.5, 1 and 1.5 mgrl-1) were tested as a completely randomize design (crd) with a simple factorial arrangement for establishm...
