BACKGROUND Despite its known toxicity, methylmercury is rarely measured directly in clinical studies; instead, conclusions are based on total mercury measurements. We have developed isotope-dilution-based methods for methylmercury-specific analysis of whole blood by coupled gas chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (GC-ICPMS). METHODS We analyzed animal and human blood s...

introduction: medication errors are among the most serious health errors threatening patient safety in all countries, with major impacts on public health. midwives as members of healthcare systems are prone to such errors. therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine medication errors and the contributing factors among midwives working in maternity units of mashhad university of medical scie...

the goal of this research was to isolate and identify the thermostable alkaline protease producing bacteria among several native iranian microorganisms. at the end of screening program, a bacillus subtilis bp-36 strain producing thermophilic alkaline protease was isolated from a hot spring in ardebil province. the target enzyme was purified using a one-step aqueous two-phase systems (atps) prot...

alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide e. c. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. this enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...

introduction: hydatid cyst disease is caused by the protoscolices of echinococcus granulosus. alkaline phosphatase (alp) enzyme is required for metabolism, physiology, immunology, and nutrients absorption in parasite. the aim of this study was to compare the level of alp activity (as a pathological biomarker) in hydatid cyst protoscolices (hcp) with that of sheep liver tissue and to determine t...

 Methodology: In this study, we used models like Sharpe DeMichele Wang Polynomial Stinner Gaussian model. To measure goodness-of-fit ...

the activity of mouse endometrial alkaline phosphatase after hyperstimulation and progesterone injection at the implantation time alkaline phosphatase (alp) of endometrium may play a critical function in the development and implantation of embryo. the aim of this study was to determine the localization of endometrial alp activity after hyperstimulation and progesterone injection. thirty adult f...

background: the problem of bone defects during treatments of bone lesions, especially cranial trauma, and also during craniotomy operations indicates isolation of osteoblasts and culturing them for filling these bone effects. methods: bone tissue specimens were obtained from 6 patients’ carvaria undergoing craniotomy surgery operations in al-zahra teaching hospital and transferred to lab. these...

background: the present study was carried out on the human population of kashmir valley to evaluate the status of the biochemical parameters of infected population. materials and methods: blood samples were collected from 514 individuals, 298 (57.97%) males and 216 (42.02%) females, 187 (36.38%) were found sero-positive for human toxocariasis. results: alkaline phosphatase level was found highe...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the extracted (es) and mechanical (ms) soybean meals two levels 25% and 35% in broiler chicken feeding. three hundred and fifty two one-day-old unsexed lohman chickens were placed in four treatments by 4 replicates and 22 chickens in each in a 2×2 factorial arrangement. feed intake was increased significantly in starter period by es in comparison with ms....
