conclusions it seems that testosterone in low dose, i.e. physiologic dose, protects kidneys against cp-induced nephrotoxicity; however, special care is needed in cp therapy of patients with high levels of ts. results cp increased the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (bun), creatinine (cr), and malondialdehyde (smda) as well as kidney weight (kw), bodyweight (bw) loss, and kidney tissue damag...

Introduction: Spondylitis is a serious disease caused by a variety of pathogens. The identification of spondylitis etiologies is a very important medical issue. This study was conducted to compare clinical, laboratory and radiological features of the patients with tuberculous (TS), brucellar (BS) and pyogenic spondylitis (PS) in a central city of Iran. Methods: In this retrospective study, we o...

t-BuOK was found to be an effective promoting reagent for tandem ring-opening/closing reactions of various N-Ts aziridines and aryl propargyl alcohols to afford dihydroxazine derivatives in moderate to good yields. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed.

introduction: polymorphism in genes involved in folate metabolism may cotribute to the susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). patients and methods : to examine the influence of polymorphism in thymidylate synthase (ts 28-bp repeat) and methionine synthase (ms a2756g) genes on the susceptibility to all, 73 children with all and 128 age and gender matched, unrelated healthy individ...

This study aims to design some dual-target anticancer candidates, capable to act as an alkylating agent as well as a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. The designed scaffold is a combination of nucleobase, amino acid and aziridine structures. The candidates are docked into TS and three DNA double strand structures and evaluated based on their binding interaction energies and ligand efficienci...

Background & Aim: Medicinal plants is very potential to be used as a supplementary feed as well as feed additive in broilers.This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of milk thistle (MT) and thyme seeds (TS) on the performance in broilers. Experimental: In this study, 160 one-day-old (Ross 308) male broiler chicks were divided randomly into four major groups with 4 replicates b...

Background: Thermal stability (TS) is a part of the BCG vaccine characterization by which the consistency of process in BCG vaccine production could be confirmed. To enhance the TS of the vaccine, some prevalent stabilizers in different concentrations were added to the final formulation of BCG bulk prior to Freeze-drying process. We found a formulation more effective than the current stabilizer...

background: oxaliplatin (ox) significantly enhanced the antitumor activity of 5-fu in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and recently some phase ii trials have evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of oxaliplatin in neoadjuvant setting for treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. on the other hand various studies have demonstrated that the overexpression of thymidylate synthase (ts) ...

We outline a simple protocol that accesses directly unprotected secondary amines by intramolecular C-N bond forming dearomatization or aryl C-H amination. The method is dependent on the generation of a potent electrophilic aminating agent released by in situ deprotection of O-Ts activated N-Boc hydroxylamines.
