OBJECTIVE The spectrum of α-thalassemias correlates well with the number of affected α-globin genes. Additionally, combinations of the several non-deletional types of mutations with a large trans deletion comprising the 2 α-globin genes have an impact on the clinical severity. The objective of this study was to analyze the hematological and molecular data of 35 patients with Hb H disease from a...

the hydro-distilled volatile oils, obtained from dried e ndocarp and hulls of persian bay laurel ( laurus nobilis var. angustifolia ) from laueaceae family were analyzed by gc/ms. thirteen and twelve compounds consisting 81.6% and 89.1% of the total components were identified of the oils obtained with a yield of 3% and 1.2% (w/w) respectively. differences of some compounds between endocarp and ...

Zornia brasiliensis, popularly known as "urinária", "urinana", and "carrapicho", is a medicinal plant used in Brazilian northeast folk medicine as a diuretic and against venereal diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antitumor potential of the leaf essential oil of Z. brasiliensis. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-ty...

This paper provides an α-order fractional Brownian motion (α-fBm) with Hurst index H ∈ (0,1) and (hereafter $Z_{H}^{\alpha } (t),~t\geq 0$ ), as extension of the n th fBm where is a nonnegative integer (n − 1,n) (e.g. Perrin et al. IEEE Trans. Signal Process., 49, 1049–1059, 2001). We show that process (t)$ (H + α)-self-similar satisfies long-range dependence property. The covariance function s...

Novel cis/trans-4- and cis/trans-5-(2-vinylstyryl)oxazoles have been synthesized by Wittig reactions from the diphosphonium salt of α,α'-o-xylene dibromide, formaldehyde and 4- and 5-oxazolecarbaldehydes, respectively. In contrast, trans-5-(2-vinylstyryl)oxazole has been synthesized by the van Leusen reaction from trans-3-(2-vinylphenyl)acrylaldehyde which is prepared from o-vinylbenzaldehyde a...

In this thesis the effects of tocopherols and ascorbic acid on the formation and decomposition of methyl linoleate hydroperoxides (ML-OOH) were evaluated. The results contribute to the understanding of the antioxidant action of tocopherols and ascorbic acid during lipid oxidation reaction sequences. α-and γ-Tocopherols at 10-1000 ppm levels efficiently inhibited the formation of ML-OOH during t...

abstract introduction : conjugated linoleic acid (cla) has been shown to positively influence on calcium and bone metabolism in experimental animals and cell culture, but there are limited human data available. material and methods : this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial study was done on 76 healthy post-menopausal women (aged 55.1) which randomly assigned to receive daily four cla capsul...

Periodontitis (PD) is known to be one of most prevalent worldwide chronic inflammatory diseases. There are several treatments including antibiotics for PD; however, since drug resistance is an increasing problem, new drugs particularly derived from plants with fewer side effects are required. The effects of trans-anethole on IL-1 β and TNF-α level in a rat model of PD were investigated and comp...
