background: misoprostol, a prostaglandin e1 analogue compared to prostaglandin e2, has the advantage of being inexpensive and stable at room temperature, with its proven efficacy and safety. however studies on the effect of ph on the efficacy of misoprostol have yielded conflicting results. thus its use in the induction of labour in patients with premature rupture of membrane requires further i...

the purpose of this study is to show the effect of extraamniotic administration of corticosteroids to shorten the times to either active labor and/or delivery. this is a double blind randomized study. 65 patients who were candidates for the termination of pregnancy between the ages of 16-45, with intact membranes and unripe cervix were randomly divided into two groups, a study group (n=34) and ...

Input frequency is one of the important variables in design and performance analysis of single-sided linear induction motors (SLIMs). Changing the frequency changes both the dimension of the SLIM in design process and the performance of the designed motor. The frequency influences the induced eddy currents in the secondary sheet as well as saturation level of the secondary back-iron. In this pa...

Teucrium chamaedrys is regarded as an herbaceous perennial plant from Lamiaceae family that is used as medicinal plants and food from ancient times. Due to the recent developments in tissue culture techniques and extraction of secondary metabolites, this study aimed to investigate the explants of the Teucrium for callus induction and secondary metabolites. The interaction of Auxin hormones incl...

Mesoderm and embryonic axis formation in vertebrates is mediated by maternal and zygotic factors that activate the expression of target genes. Transcriptional derepression plays an important role in the regulation of expression in different contexts; however, its involvement and possible mechanism in mesoderm and embryonic axis formation are largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that XDSCR6, a X...

The magnetic measurement of solenoids relies on different methods to characterize the field quality and locate axis. Usually, Hall mappers stretched-wire systems are used for these tasks. This paper presents an alternative, fluxmetric method measure radial dependence axis with a single instrument. solenoidal-field transducer is based disc-shaped induction-coil array concentric coils 90 deg. arc...

Hairy root culture is an effective method to produce secondary metabolites. In fact, hairy roots are genetically and biologically stable and also they are able to produce metabolites without hormones. Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) is one of the most important medicinal plants with valuable medicinal compounds. In this research, hairy roots were induced by different Agrobacterium rhizogenes str...

psychological disorders such as depression have more prevalence in inflammatory bowel disease patients and can exacerbate the clinical course of the disease, so anti-depressant therapy may have a potential to positively impact the disease course. on the other hand several antidepressant drugs have shown anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. thus, this study aimed to explore the ben...
