background and objective: parkinson's disease (pd) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease with selective damage of dopaminergic neurons of the mesencephalon. l-dihydroxyphenylamine (l-dopa) therapy is currently the gold standard maneuver for pd. due to the protective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effect of sesamin, this study was undertaken to assess dose-dependent effect of thi...

the ability to maintain and study human tissues in in-vivo environment has proved to be a valuable tool in breast cancer research for several decades. the most widely tissues have been xenografts established human breast cancer cell lines into athymic nude mice. the aim of this study was to provide a new accurate and affordable method for the establishment of breast cancer xenograftin nude mice...

this paper investigates the mechanism of water transportation through aquaporin-4(aqp4) of ratbrain cells by means of molecular dynamics simulation with charmm software. the aqp4 wasembedded into a bilayer made of dimystroilphosphatylcholine (dmpc). the results illustrate thatwater molecules move through aqp4's channel with change of orientation of oxygen of eachwater molecule.

An integral domain $D$ is called a emph{locally GCD domain} if $D_{M}$ is aGCD domain for every maximal ideal $M$ of $D$. We study somering-theoretic properties of locally GCD domains. E.g., we show that $%D$ is a locally GCD domain if and only if $aDcap bD$ is locally principalfor all $0neq a,bin D$, and flat overrings of a locally GCD domain arelocally GCD. We also show that the t-class group...

patients and methods in total, 98 samples in four groups (hiv-positive and hiv-negative persons with and without oc) were obtained from the oral cavities and cultured on sabouraud’s dextrose agar and chromagar. also blood samples were obtained to assess plasma level of ifn-γ, il-4, il-6 and il-17 using elisa technique. background cell-mediated immunity (cmi) by cd4 + th (t helper)-type cells is...
