Background: Delayed tendon healing and tendon adhesions are still found to be among the complications that occur most often after tendon repair. Pistacia khinjuk is one of the three species of Pistacia growing in Iran. Objective: In this study, the role of local injection of ethanolic extract of P. khinjuk was evaluated in healing of the experimental Achilles tendon injury in rabbits. Metho...

the aims of this study were to assess the effects of drought stress on peroxidase (pod), superoxide dismutase (sod) and catalase (cat) activities as well as free proline content and growth parameters of pistacia khinjuk seedlings under drought stress. therefore, the one-year seedlings of pistacia khinjuk subjected to water stress (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% field capacity) for 8 months in greenhou...

ABSTRACT: Aqueous enzymatic extraction of oil from pistacia khinjuk was performed using cellulase. The central composite design was used to optimize the parameters that are significant to the process. The influence of three regressors on the percentage of oil recovery from seed was evaluated using second-order polynomial multiple regression model. Analysis of variance showed a high coefficient ...

Purpose: This study aims to prepare a novel, natural nanoparticle (NP) as a drug carrier, which also has inherent therapeutic effects. Methods: Pistacia khinjuk gum NPs were prepared and Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for statistical analysis of data and optimizing the size of NPs. Results: NPs were in the range of 75.85-241.3 nm. The optimization study was carried out, and an opti...

this study investigates the oil extraction from pistacia khinjuk by the application of enzyme.artificial neural network (ann) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (anfis) were applied formodeling and prediction of oil extraction yield. 16 data points were collected and the ann was trained with onehidden layer using various numbers of neurons. a two-layered ann provides the best results, us...

background: this investigation aimed to evaluate the in vitro scolicidal effects of pistacia khinjuk methanolic extract against protoscoleces of hydatid cysts and its acute toxicity in mice nmri model. methods: protoscoleces were aseptically extracted from sheep livers having hydatid cysts. various concentrations of the essential oil (12.5- 100 mg/ml) were used for 10 to 60 min. viability of pr...
