objective: ovarian and follicle transplantation may preserve fertility in young cancer survivors. in this study, we have transplanted preantral follicles using fibrin gel as a carrier and fibrin gel supplemented with platelet lysate (pl) as a rich source of angiogenic and growth factors. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of fibrin gel and pl in follicle transplantation. materia...

Stereomicroscope The new Carl Zeiss stereomicroscope Stemi 2000-CS allows the user to view the sample whilst other observers view the procedure by video. Greenough type stereomicroscopes create their stereo effect by having separate light paths set at different angles, one for each eye. However, when video or photomicrography is being carried out most stereomicroscope systems remove light from ...

to improve the corrosion protection of copper metal, 0.01m concentration of 1h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (tat) was incorporated into the hybrid sol-gel monolayers containing 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (gptms) and tetraethoxysilane (teos). it was further subjected to hydrolysis and condensation reaction to form a sol-gel matrix. the tat-doped hybrid sol-gel coating was applied over the coppe...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...

beryllium  oxide  (beo)  nanopowder  was  synthesized  using  sol-gel method  and  the  effects  of  changes of  chemical  reagents  were investigated.  because  of  tissue  equivalence  and  other  outstanding thermoluminescence  (tl) properties of  the bulk material  in x and γ dosimetry, the applicability of this nanostructure in tl dosimetry was studied  following  irradiation to  the 137 c...

introduction the use of cut-outs in electron applicators make changes on output, isodose, and percentage depth dose (pdd) curves. these changes and electron beam dose distribution in the form of three-dimensional (3d) can be measured by gel dosimeters. materials and methods dosimetry was performed with and without a square shield (6×6 cm2 field). the energies were 4, 9, and 16 mev and phantom w...

in this paper, carbon nanotubes (cnts) were added into chitosan (cs) hydrogels in the form of chitosan modified cnts (cs-cnts) composites to prepare carbon nanotubes hydrogels (cnts-gel). the products, named cs-mwcnts, were characterized by scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy. swelling properties and effect of ph on controlled release performanc...

Lallemantia royleana (Balangu) is a well known Iranian medicinal plant that its seed mucilage has many applications in modern pharmacology. Plant mucilage traditionally was used as a gel supplement, and natural matrix for sustained release of drugs. But it seems that these compounds are not a simple additive and also have many undiscovered pharmacological properties. In this research, the anest...

background: the most frequently used spermicide nonoxynol-9 (n-9) in the clinic alters the vaginal flora, which will result in an increased risk of opportunistic infection. so development of a novel spermicidal and microbicidal drug appears to be inevitable. vaginal local immune is an important part of vaginal flora. secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (slpi), surfactant proteins d (sp-d), a...
