background :adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside that has a neuromodulatory role in the central nervous system. the amphetamine derivative (±)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma or ecstasy) is a synthetic amphetamine analogue used recreationally to obtain an enhanced affiliated emotional response. mdma is a potent monoaminergic neurotoxin with the potential of damage to brain neuro...

in this research, the chloroform (chcl3) removal effectiveness of two water treatment systems including membrane technology and granular activated carbon (gac) adsorption were studied. two bench-scales were designed and set up: 1) nanofiltration (nf) spiral-wound modules and 2) gac adsorption column. chloroform was considered as trihalomethanes (thms) basic indicator compound. the inlet and out...

background: the close relationship between energy metabolism, nutritional state, and reproductive physiology suggests that nutritional and metabolic disorders can disrupt normal reproductive function and fertility. considering the importance of leptin and ghrelin effects in regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, the objective of this study was to investigate the influence of obe...

background: it has been suggested that malfunction of immune system may cause testicular cancer. recently, our understanding of innate immune system has been expanded, by discovery of “toll- like receptors” (tlrs). some studies have shown that polymorphisms of tlr2 and 4 can effect on the risk of cancer. also, the role of tlrs 3and 9 have been shown in apoptosis of cancer cells and metastasis i...

We review the hot QCD transition with varying number of flavours, from two till onset conformal window. discuss universality class for Nf=2, along critical line massless light and a third flavour whose mass serves as an interpolator between Nf=2 Nf=3. identify possible scaling window 3D O(4) transition, its crossover to mean field behaviour. follow Nf=3 larger Nf, when it remains first order, i...

Abstract The nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription (TF) family consists of three subfamilies NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC. Many studies have proven that NF-Y complex plays multiple essential roles in stress response Arabidopsis other plant species. However, little attention has been given to these genes peanut. In this study, thirty-three AhNF-Y were identified cultivated peanut they distributed on 1...

the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of tetramethlpyrazine on oxazolone-induced colitis mice. spleen mononuclear cells (smc), lamina propria mononuclear cells (lpmc) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) were isolated from oxazolone-induced colitis and normal mice. the colitis cells treated by oxazolone were randomly divided into model, low dos...

Background: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) are used as a source for cell therapy in different model for neurological disorder such as stroke and spinal cord injury. However, the transdifferentiation of BMSC into cholinergic phenotype requires more investigation. Methods: BMSC were isolated from adult rats, pre-induced with β-mercaptoethanol (BME) and followed by nerve growth factor (NGF) indu...

Introduction: Apoptosis dysregulation plays a substantial role in the pathophysiology of chronic inflammation and its related symptoms such as edema. Regulation of NF-ĸB activation is involved in apoptosis pattern change. The current study aimed at verifying the effects of local inflammation on edema and changes in apoptotic markers, and investigating the possible role of NF-ĸB in apoptosis pat...
