ABSTRACT Background Antibiotic resistance makes antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) agents an alternative for treatment of pathogenic diseases. They are isolated from various animals invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. The present study shows the electrophoretic pattern of protein and peptides from Vicia Faba seed and reports our first attempt to study the antibacterial activity of Vicia faba...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of silver nanoparticle on general performance and digestive proteases in zebra fish. four experimental diets were designed with a concentration of 5, 20 and 40 parts per billion (ppb) nanoparticles in the diet (named s5, s20, and s40, respectively) and control group without any nanoparticles (s0). there was no significa...

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether platelet indices and leukocyte count predict the diagnosis of Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid induced pseudothrombocytopenia (EDTA-PTCP) differ this entity from immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Methods: One-hundred sixty-nine individuals (52 patients diagnosed with EDTA-PTCP, 52 newly ITP, 65 healthy individuals) were included. Demographic data c...

Proteases are important industrial enzymes used in different areas of industry, mainly detergent, food and leather industries. In this study, novel alkaline protease-producing bacterium was isolated from Geinarje hot spring and examined for maximum protease activity to be utilized in washing-powder. The isolated bacterium was cultured in mineral salt medium including 2% Skim Milk. Proteolytic a...

The aim of the study was to evaluate influence 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and ethanolic extract Sapindus mukorossi (S. mukorossi) in combination with canal shaping on surface properties ProTaper Gold rotary endodontic file. Sixteen F1 files underwent standard protocol for root treatment using two irrigants EDTA) single-rooted decoronated teeth. Eight unused were used as a contro...

Abstract The wide use of copper (Cu)-based fungicide has caused a stepwise accumulation Cu in the environment increasing occurrence phytotoxicity crops. To understand and alleviate this abiotic stress, maize seedlings were grown hydroponic solution with different combinations iron (Fe) forms. Results showed that sensitivity is related to nature form supplied chelate-exchange processes might inv...
