background: based on recent studies, there are controversial reports on the ca-pacity of tissue cyst forming of toxoplasma gondii rh strain. in this study, the capac-ity was evaluated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. methods : rh strain was subcutaneously inoculated to ten wistar rats. after one month, their blood, brain, tongue and diaphragm were collected and evaluated by mat, pcr, pathol...

background : in this study, we investigated the lethal potency, electrophoretic protein pattern and in vivo effects of hottentotta saulcyi scorpion venom in mice. methods : scorpions were collected at night, by using a uv lamp from mardin province, turkey. venom was obtained from mature h. saulcyi scorpions by electrical stimulation of the telson. the lethality of the venom was determined by i....

soil and water salinity damage and decrease canola yield. however, plant yield should be increased using effective methods. this study aimed at investigating the effect of sulfure application fertilizers on canola yield. to this end, the experiment was conducted in split plot arrangement based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at shavoor research station in south west...

the use of quantum dots (qdots) as bright and photostable probes for long-term fluorescence imaging is gaining more interest. thus far, (pre)clinical use of qdots remains limited, which is primarily caused by the potential toxicity of qdots. most qdots consist of cd2+ ions, which are known to cause high levels of toxicity. therefore, the cytotoxic effects of cdse quantum dots on embryonic devel...

Herein we report the possibility of using green and red emitting silica-coated cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) for remarkable stem and cancer cellular imaging, efficient cellular uptake and fluorescence imaging of semi and ultra-thin sections of tumor for in vivo tumor targeted imaging applications. The comparative studies of high contrast cellular imaging behaviours of the silica-co...
