purpose: to introduce the importance and world prevalence of ocular leishmaniasis (ol), its clinical manifestations, and diagnostic and management features with more emphasis on iranian cases. methods: we reviewed all available articles published about ol during recent 50 years. results: ol is an ocular protozoal infection which is widespread in the world but is more common in developing countr...

When Chlorella sorokiniana was cultured in the presence of 1 mg/1 triparanol succinate, there was a 42% reduction in total sterol concentration. Algal biomass was reduced by approximately the same amount. In addition to the cycloartenol, cyclolaudenol, 24-methyl-pollinastanol, ergosta-5, 7-dien-3beta-ol, and ergosterol that occur in control culture, pollinastanol, 14alpha-methyl-5alpha-ergost-8...

UNLABELLED The identification of the molecular network that supports oligodendrocyte (OL) regeneration under demyelinating conditions has been a primary goal for regenerative medicine in demyelinating disorders. We recently described an essential function for TACE/ADAM17 in regulating oligodendrogenesis during postnatal myelination, but it is unknown whether this protein also plays a role in OL...

Terpinen-4-ol, a monoterpene component of the essential oils of several aromatic plants, exhibits antitumor effects. In this study, the antitumor effects of terpinen-4-ol and the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for it were evaluated and studied, respectively on human nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Our results indicated that terpinen-4-ol elicited a dose-dependent cytotox...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of olive leaf (OL) on immune response and some blood metabolites of broiler chickens. A total of 400 one-day-old broiler chicks (male and female) were randomly assigned to 5 experimental treatments with 4 replicates of 20 birds each. Birds of different treatments were given diets containing 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1% OL powder from 14 to 4...

“Salting out effect” means that the addition of an organic solvent to an aqueous solution of a salt will reduce the solubility of salts and thus induce its precipitation.1 Therefore, the investigations of the physicochemical properties of inorganic salts in organic solvents – water, such as solubility data together with density, refractive index and so on, are of great scientific importance. Va...

We examined the in vitro metabolism of (+)-terpinen-4-ol by human liver microsomes and recombinant enzymes. The biotransformation of (+)-terpinen-4-ol was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). (+)-Terpinen-4-ol was found to be oxidized to (+)-(1R,2S,4S)-1,2-epoxy-p-menthan-4-ol, (+)-(1S,2R,4S)-1,2-epoxy-p-menthan-4-ol, and (4S)-p-menth-1-en-4,8-diol by human liver micros...

There are two categories in which educator can deliver open distance learning (ODL) via an internet connection, namely Synchronous Online Learning (OL-sync) and Asynchronous (OL-async). At Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Pulau Pinang (UiTMCPP), lecturers could conduct ODL OL-sync or OL-async due to MCO was enforced on March 18, 2020. Therefore, this study conducted compare the influence of d...
