In order to improve the postharvest quality and the export ability of cut rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cvs. Happy Hour and Bordeaux, the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) as an ethylene inhibitor, was investigated. 1-MCP was used at 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 g m-3 for 18 h at 8 °C to simulate the transport of flowers. 1-MCP treatment significantly prolonged the vase life and minimized the weight los...

background: disasters always threaten human societies and cause high property damages and civilian casualties. therefore, many studies are carried out to find the optimal policies and procedures for preparedness. this study was conducted to determine medical severity index of kerman province regarding disasters and accidents. materials and methods: this descriptive and cross-sectional study was...

The ever-increasing number of drug-resistant bacteria is a major challenge in healthcare and creates an urgent need for novel compounds for treatment. Host defense antimicrobial peptides have high potential to become the new generation of antibiotic compounds. Antimicrobial peptides constitute a major part of the innate defense system in all life forms. Most of these cationic amphipathic peptid...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Microsatellite instability (MSI) plays a crucial role in gastrointestinal carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to clarify whether MSI is a useful marker for predicting synchronous gastric and colorectal neoplasms. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent both esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy before the resection of gastric or colorectal cancers were included. ...

The aid of beneficial microbes, which is a well-accepted strategy, may improve plant salt tolerance. However, the mechanisms that underpin it are unclear. In this study, seedling experiments were carried out to assess effect Bradyrhizobium and Enterobacter on germination, growth, nonenzymatic enzymatic content in soybean (Glycine max L.) under stress. Water was sprayed seeds as control, with 75...

The use of environmental-friendly agricultural inputs to increase yield in crops could reduce environmental contamination and alleviate (a)biotic stress. In this study, we applied a foliar liquid biostimulant banana plants, which was developed from the anaerobic fermentation microorganisms with organic remains (manure plant waste) minerals as product. To determine effect Suppression Subtractive...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is detected in about 15% of all colorectal cancers. CRC with MSI has particular characteristics such as improved survival rates and better prognosis. They also have a distinct sensitivity to the action of chemotherapy. AIM The aim of the study was to detect microsatellite instabili...
