The aim of this study was to study the effects of killing C6 glioma cells induced by hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME)-mediated sonodynamic therapy combined with photodynamic therapy (SPDT). In the SPDT group, the cells were treated with sonication at an intensity of 0.5 W/cm(2) and a frequency of 1 MHz, followed by different doses of light irradiation. The growth inhibition rate followin...

red hot pepper is a plant that belongs to the solanaceae family and is known as capsicum annuum. capsaicin is the active ingredient of cayenne pepper. ghrelin is a hormone, which consists of polypeptide structure. ghrelin also contributes to growth hormone secretion, energy balance, food intake and body weight regulator. the aim of this study was the localization and expression of ghrelin in th...

AIM To examine the effects, after septoplasty, of local antibiotic pomades as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotic use, which is a controversial matter among the otolaryngologists, on nasal flora and bacterial growth. MATERIAL AND METHOD Nasal packings placed after septoplasty surgery to provide septal stabilization and bleeding control pose a risk in terms of infection. In this study, 1...

Soil salinity and water deficit are major problems for development of agricultural production. In this study, effects of growth promoting microorganisms (inoculation with Piriformospora indica and two isolates of Streptomyces sp.) on the leaf yield and absorption rate of some elements in leaves and roots of stevia plant was investigated under salinity conditions for two consecutive years (2016-...

In this study, the effect of vermicompost and mycorrhizal fungi was investigated on growth, yield, chlorophyll pigments, leaf antioxidant enzymes, and seed silibinin content of Silybum marianum, milk thistle. The seeds were inoculated by two species of mycorrhiza fungi, Glomus mosseae and G. intraradices, and plants were irrigated and treated with 0, 25, 50, and 75% vermicompost after culturing...

Since the report of first cases pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 in December 2019, COVID-19 has become a pandemic and is globally overwhelming healthcare systems. The symptoms vary from asymptomatic infection to severe complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) multiple organ failure leading death. estimated case-fatality rate among infected patients Wuhan, city where case appear...

To date, the knowledge on the natural history of HCV infection and the risk factors associated with progression of liver disease in children is limited. Progressive liver disease, including hepatocellular carcinoma, is rare but has been reported (1). Early effective treatment can prevent potential hepatic complications in later life. The association of Peg-IFN plus ribavirin is the option of ch...

A survey was made to find the extent of intestinal parasite infection in Kampongcham, Cambodia in February 2002. A total of 251 fecal specimens were collected from Tonlebat primary school children and examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique. The overall infection rate of intestinal parasite was 54.2% (males, 57.3%; females, 50.8%). The infection rate of intestinal helminths by the sp...

Abstract In vitro culture techniques are recognized as efficient strategies for large-scale plant production, well providing alternatives conservation. this study the micropropagation of Tarenaya rosea was established using petiole and foliar blade segments cultivated on MS medium with 6-benzyladenine (BA) and/or 6-furfurylaminopurine (KIN). The regeneration rate from explants evaluated after 3...
