objectives lipid components of spermatozoa have an important role in its functional activity. in this study the concentration of cholesterol, phospholipid, triacylglycerol and total lipid in different subsets of human spermatozoa, isolated as three fractions by a discontinuous puresperm gradient, was determined. methods aliquots of the liquefied semen samples (n=107) were layered on top of the ...

Analysis of spatial and temporal changes long-term precipitation extreme distribution at a local scale is very important for the prevention mitigation water-related disasters. In present study, we have analyzed trend 116 years (1901–2016) index over Kosi River Basin (KRB), which one frequent flooding rivers India, using 0.25° × resolution gridded datasets obtained from Indian Meteorological Dep...

Avicennia marina (Avicenniaceae) is a species of mangrove tree used for treatment of small pox lesions in Persian folk medicine. The antiviral activity of methanol, ethanol, water, chloroform and n-hexane extracts was evaluated against HIV-1 and HSV. Methanol extract had the highest antiviral activity and the most polar fraction of this extract (fraction D) inhibited HSV with TI and SI values o...

Introduction: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI can be used to quantitatively measure pharmacokinetic parameters that indicate tumor angiogenesis and perfusion. The ability of quantitative DCE-MRI to generate physiological parameter maps has important implications in staging tumors and in evaluating the cancer therapeutic response. The purpose of this study was to develop an innovative hybrid...

Chamaemelum nobile (Asteraceae) commonly known as 'Roman chamomile' is a medicinal plant used for numerous diseases in traditional medicine, although its anticancer activity is unknown. The present study was carried out to investigate the anticancer as well as apoptotic activity of ethyl acetate fraction of C. nobile on different cancerous cell lines. The cells were treated with varying concent...
