Two groups of antibodies against mouse resident alveolar and peritoneal macrophages have been raised individually in rabbits by immunization with whole cell suspensions of lavaged alveolar and peritoneal macrophages. The whole antisera reacted positively with neutrophils and lymphocytes. However, upon extensive absorptions with these cells the activity became restricted to macrophages. The...

background: the main objective of this study was to assess the malnutrition and some socio-economic related factors based on three ethnic groups among primary school children in north of iran in 2010 . methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out through multistage cluster random sampling on 5698 subjects (2505 fars-native, 2154 turkman, and 1039 sistani) in 112 schools. well-trained sta...

chamomile serves as one of the most important medicinal plants. the most known secondary metabolites in chamomile species are volatile oils of triponoides, poly stilens, flavonoids and phenolic cafeic acid (krori). these metabolites have wide variety of applications thanks to having medicinal properties of anti-inflammation, antispasmodic and bactericide activity. also it is used to cure liver ...

abstract background: vulnerable women are prone to sexually transmitted diseases due to their high-risk behaviors. the present study aimed to investigate the effect of self-care training program based on orem’s model on the behaviors leading to sexually transmitted diseases in vulnerable women. materials and methods: this field trial was initially conducted on 100 women covered under health ser...

a 9 bp deletion between cytochrome oxidase subunit ii and trna lys genes in mitochondrial dna, has proven to be an extremely informative marker for tracing population history. using the pcr-page and pcr-sscp techniques in this study, 152 dna samples collected from iranian populations were screened for the 9 bp deletion. no deletion was observed. a length polymorphism, most probably a 9 bp tripl...

Esox lucius is an economically important freshwater species. Mitochondrial cytb, 12SrRNA, and 16SrRNA gene sequences were used in order to clarify the genetic variation and population structure in three E. Lucius populations, i.e., one Wild population (W) and two hatchery populations (Hatchery Population I-HPI and Hatchery Population II-HPII). A total of 55 individuals, with 19 from wild and 1...

The aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the Dniester population of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. The genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from Eurasian rivers (Dniester, Dnieper, Danube, Volga, Kama and Ob) was carried out using microsatellite DNA markers. The genetic var...
