SUMMARY In an investigation in summer· 1993 in health centers, 431 faecal samples from children with diarrhea were examined. In 14 (6 girls and 8 boys) 3.25 percent with modified Ziehl -Neelson Staining technique Oocyst of cryptosporidium has been demonstrated and the results discussed.

AIM This study aimed at investigating the anti-invasive activities of α-mangostin on human melanoma SK-MEL-28 and squamous cell carcinoma A-431 cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cytotoxicity was tested by the crystal violet assay; anti-invasive activity was detected by the wound healing, cell-matrix adhesion, and boyden chamber assays; and gene regulatory effects by qRT-PCR. Treatments were a...

A combined experimental and Density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-311+G* study on the IR spectra of four stable isomers of 2-N,N-dimethylaminecyclohexyl 1-N’,N’-dimethylcarbamate was performed. Our theoretical calculations reveal that two new isomers of this compound exist and may be more stable than the known isomers. In addition the entropy, heat capacity, and the enthalpy content of the st...

background: data shows vanadium protects pancreatic beta cells (bc) from diabetic animals. whether this effect is direct or through the relief of glucose toxicity is not clear. this study evaluated the potential effect of oral vanadyl sulfate (vanadium) on glycemic status and pancreatic bc of normal and diabetic rats. methods: rats were divided into five groups of normal and diabetic. diabetes ...

background: the aim of this study was to compare push-out bond strength of a new bioceramic endodontic sealer, endosequence bc sealer (brasseler usa, savannah, ga), used with gutta-percha in the presence or absence of phosphate-buffered saline solution (pbs) within the root canals. materials and methods: forty single-rooted human teeth were prepared and randomly divided into four groups. sample...

The present study investigated the ability of Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis (BB-12®) and Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei (L. casei 431®) to modulate the immune system using a vaccination model in healthy subjects. A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was conducted in 211 subjects (56 % females, mean age 33·2 (sd 13·1) years). Subjects consumed a min...
