the effect of different kinds of surfactants in various concentrations incorporated in an inert matrix, on the release of procainamide hydrochloride, as a cationic model compound, was investigated in this study. sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium stearate as anionic surfactants, cetyl pyridinium chloride and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as cationic and span 60 and tween 80 as non-ionic surfact...

in this paper, we proposed a data-hiding scheme based on run length matrix. in a previously proposed method, a technique based on texture classification was introduced where four statically features extracted from run length matrix; then best cover images are selected based on these features. using appropriate features for comparing images from undetectability viewpoint, guarantees, less detect...

this study was conducted to examine if allergic contact dermatitis (acd) alters the expression of mmps in human dermal fibroblasts. fibroblasts are the primary source for mmp and matrix production in skin. mmps are known to involve in a number of physiological and pathological processes. some published data indicated a gelatinase-like activity in acute and chronic phases of allergic contact der...

controversial immunomodulatory properties of bee venom (bv) have provided an appropriate field for more investigation. the aim of present research was to verify the effects of honeybee venom on matrix metalloproteinase activity and interferon production as well as cell proliferation in monocyte and fibroblast cell lines. the monocyte and fibroblast cell lines (k562, ht-1080, wehi-164) were used...

background: trichophyton verrucosum is a zoophilic fungus with a worldwide distribution. our aim was to investigate the proliferative effect of antigenic compounds of t. verrucosum on dermis fibro blasts and endothelial cells. methods: t. verrucosum was cultured in scc medium and was then transferred to a broth medium. surface antigens of this fungus were separated using the freeze and thaw met...

direct restoration of severely damaged endodontically treated teeth (ett) using available and conventional and current matrix systems is sometimes impractical and in some clinical cases is impossible. the aim of this paper is to introduce and describe a new matrix system based on rigid tray technique (rtt) for dealing with such difficult clinical cases.

due to unique applications of palladium nanoparticles, synthesis of these nanoparticles by a simple andlow cost method is very important. in this work, pd nanoparticles were synthesized with narrow sizedistribution by loading metal salt (pd(oac)2 ) into the polymeric matrix (peg) as reducing agent andstabilizer. also, the effect of metal salt concentration and peg molecular weight on the conver...

background and objectives: biological scaffold resources composed of extracellular matrix (ecm) have been shown to make easy the practical remodeling of various tissues in both animal and human studies. the goal of current study was to make sheet form of ecm from sheep’s urinary bladder. methods: ecm was extracted from sheep’s urinary bladder according to standard method. scanning electron mic...
