BACKGROUND Many metabolic changes develop in patients with chronic kidney disease which often necessitate frequent biochemical analysis of blood. Saliva analysis as an alternative to blood has many advantages. The aims of this study were to evaluate levels of salivary creatinine and urea in patients with chronic kidney disease in comparison to healthy individuals; to determine correlation betwe...

introduction: rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.) is a perennial, ever green and fragrant plant belongs to lamiaceae family. vegetative parts of this plant have essential oil and compounds with anti oxidant and antibacterial properties which are used extensively in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. the use of biofertilizers such as vermicompost and nitroxin could have beneficial ef...

In order to investigate the effect of vermicompost and Nano Iron on yield and yield components of maize, a farm experiment was done in a factorial based on completely randomized blocks design with three repetitions in Damavand in 2013. The first factor was vermicompost in two levels included no applying and applying (vermicompost 1kg.m-2) and the second factor was Nano iron fertilizer with four...

The 12: 1 reaction of urea (U) with CoI(2) in EtOH yielded the "clathrate-coordination" compound [CoU(6)]I2.4U (1). The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The lattice constants are a = 9.844(4), b = 7.268(3), c = 24.12(1) A, and beta=98.12(1) degrees composite function. The crystal structure determination demonstrates the existence of octahedral [CoU6](2+) cations, I(-)...

During single pass indicator studies across the lungs [(14)C]urea remains in the vascular compartment, but its molecular size and solubility suggest it might escape abnormally permeable vessels. To test the hypothesis that [(14)C]urea might be used to distinguish pulmonary edema due to acutely increased intravascular pressure from that due to vascular damage by alloxan, we studied [(51)Cr]eryth...

OBJECTIVES Hyperglycemia promotes oxidative stress that plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Diabetic nephropathy (DN). In this study, we investigated the synergism effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Urtica dioica and pioglitazone (PIO) on the prevention of DN in streptozotocin induced-diabetic mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two mice were divided into six groups as follows: non-di...

Three 2´-deoxynucleosides containing semi-flexible spin labels, namely (T)A, (U)A and (U)C, were prepared and incorporated into deoxyoligonucleotides using the phosphoramidite method. All three nucleosides contain 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) connected to the exocyclic amino group; (T)A directly and (U)A as well as (U)C through a urea linkage. (T)A and (U)C showed a minor destab...

ABSTRACT- Almost all oyster mushroom producers in Iran produce this kind of mushroom without any kind of casing soil. Although different kinds of casing soils are available for Agaricus bisporus, limited information is available regarding Pleurotus ostreatus. Availability of peat in many regions around the world is a concern and some researchers' efforts have been devoted to a search for altern...

in order to investigation of vermicompost effect on growth and yield of marigold in pot medium, an experiment was done by a randomized completely block design in three raplications. treatmnets were included control (30% v/v of soil plus 70% v/v of sand) and three levels of vermicompost (20, 40, 60 % v/v of vermicompost+30% v/v of sand and soil) that applied in three lit. pots. marigold seeds (t...
