background: it is proved that testis is sensitive to electromagnetic field (emf) and its damage results in infertility. exposure to emf induces reactive oxygen species production and affects on anti-oxidants defense mechanisms. metallothionein (mt) is a name for a group of low molecular weight (6-7 kda), sulfhydryl rich proteins. expression of mt1 and mt2 genes in testis tissue after emf exposu...

objective(s) homocysteine, hs-crp and fibrinogen are three novel cardiovascular risk factors. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of a single bout of circuit resistance exercise on homocysteine, hs-crp and fibrinogen levels in healthy and inactive men. materials and methods the subjects were randomly divided into the experimental group (n= 14) and the control group (n= 9). circuit t...

conclusions considering the simplicity and efficiency of zero valent iron powder, this method is recommended for removing azo dyes from aqueous environments. results the results of this research showed ph = 3 and contact time = 120 minutes, increasing the zvi dose from 200 to 5000 mg/l in 100 mg/l dye concentration, increased the adsorption efficiency from 36.78% to 97.57%. rr-198 removal follo...

background and objective: brucellosis is a main transmittable zoonotic disease, which is endemic, and a common health burden in iran. adenosine deaminase (ada) is an essential enzyme which is involved in purine metabolism and its role in immune system is very important. the aim of this study was to determine serum changes of ada and c-reactive protein (crp) levels in patients with brucellosis. ...

although the majority of mesenchymal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract are neoplastic in nature, but nonneoplastic reactive processes may also involve the gastrointestinal tract and mesentery. some more aggressive neoplasms located in same area, such as fibromatosis or gastrointestinal stromal  tumors  may  be  cause  of  diagnostic  confusion.  reactive  nodular  fibrous  pseudo  tumor (rn...

conclusions crp, a well-known acute phase reactant that increases rapidly in various inflammatory processes, can be accepted as a strong predictor in classifying different grades of the disease, and treatment can be reliably planned according to this classification. results mean crp levels of groups were found to be significantly different, 18.96 mg/l in group i, 133.51 mg/l in group ii, and 23...

background: allergens are mostly composed of glycoprotein structures. it is believed that glycan-specific antibodies may lead to false-positive reactions in immunoassays. in this study we investigated the glycosylation state of grape allergens as well as the presence of antibodies to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (anti-ccds) in sera from grape-sensitive individuals. methods: grape ex...

conclusions considering that no significant difference was found in the proven vitamin a side effects, due to the increase in crp, frequent clinical and biochemical controls are required along with vitamin a supplementation. patients and methods this study was a double blind randomized clinical trial. in the main study, vitamin a (as retinyl palmitate) was given to 35 multiple sclerosis (ms) pa...

improvements in the properties of ordinary sidewall compound (nr/br) with the addition of epdm by reactive processing method were evaluated. the results show that ozone resistance of these sidewalls was improved with increased addition of epdm. also the tensile strength and elongation-at-break were increased in comparison with nrbrepdm compounds that were made by non-reactive processing. sem ph...
