conclusions this meta-analysis indicated that the tnf-α-308 g/a polymorphism is significantly associated with increased susceptibility to hcc. however, to confirm this finding, more studies are needed on tnf-α-308 g/a polymorphisms associated with hcc. context hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is a common disorder throughout the world that can develop due to various factors, including genetics. tu...

in order to investigated the effect of flooding, different nutrition levels an anti-oxidant characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, amount of chlorophyll (a, b) and carotenoids leaves soybean (glycine max (l.) merr), cultivar dpx research at the university of agricultural sciences and natural resources, gorgan, in a completely randomized design to factorial arrangement with three replication...

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...

drought is the most common environmental stresses that affects plant growth. to study the combined effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (glomus intratadices) and jasmonic acid on growth and ecophysiologycal characteristics of pistachio seedlings cv. qazvini under drought stress, a greenhouse experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. experimental fact...

most of the systematic studies used in the development of human embryo culture media have been done first on mouse embryos. the general use of nmri outbred mice is a model for toxicology, teratology and pharmacology. nmri mouse embryo exhibit the two-cell block in vitro. the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of four kinds of culture media on the development of zygo...

field saturated hydraulic conductivity (kfs) is one of the most important soil properties that considerably contribute to soil quality. however, specifically in the structured soils, the measurement of kfs is difficult and time-consuming. therefore, verifying the simple and fast methods for kfs measurement is needed for effective soil monitoring. this study was conducted to investigate the effe...

this paper is mainly focusing on the determination of mean molal activity coefficient of hcl in aqueous acidic medium. the present investigations have been carried out to determine the activity coefficients of hydrochloric acid in 2-propanol water mixture solutions under various conditions to study the ion solvent interactions in different temperatures. the standard molar potential em0 of the c...

use of such natural compounds as essential oils and plant extracts is considered as a safe method in control of postharvest diseases as well as delay in plant tissue senescence. in this study, the effects of clove essential oil and extract was investigated on decay control and on some quantitative characteristics of table grapes during storage. grape bunches, after having been treated with diff...
