Salt accumulation in soils poses severe challenges for crop production arid and semi-arid regions. Scarcity of rainfall a high evaporation rate these regions are considered major reasons salt accumulation. It drastically reduces the leaching excessive salts below root zone crops. The toxic effects on plants can be greatly reduced with use biological inorganic amendments. present study was condu...

Aims: Circumcision is a minor urologic surgery that is widely used in Iran and other Muslim and non-muslin countries. A common complication following this procedure is bleeding. The aim of this study was to compare compressive dressing with no dressing and conventional dressing options for circumcision in point of bleeding after circumcision. Materials & Methods: Between October 2010 and July ...

The pathogenesis of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) as well as the specific role of core binding factor β (Cbfβ) and the Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX)/Cbfβ complex in postnatal skeletogenesis remain unclear. We demonstrate that Cbfβ ablation in osteoblast precursors, differentiating chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and odontoblasts via Osterix-Cre, results in severe craniofacial dysplasia, s...

The functional roles of the medial septal area (MSA) and nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) in memory were investigated to determine (1) their relative contribution to working and reference memory, (2) their operation in spatial and nonspatial memory, (3) the temporal dynamics of the neural activity within these nuclei as they relate to mnemonic processes, (4) the neurochemical regulation of...

Numerous studies have implicated the cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway in producing hyperexcitability of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons under conditions associated with pain. Evidence is presented for roles of both the cAMP-PKA and cGMP-protein kinase G (PKG) pathways in maintaining neuronal hyperexcitability and behavioral hyperalgesia in a neuropathic pain model: chronic compress...

For three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of large macromolecular complexes, single-particle electron cryomicroscopy is considered the method of choice. Within this field, structure determination de novo, as opposed to refinement of known structures, still presents a major challenge, especially for macromolecules without point-group symmetry. This is primarily because of technical issu...
