Coating of Kilka has done by dipping in whey protein solution with different concentrations of 3, 7, 10 and 13%, for 1h. Then, after being packed in polyethylene dishes, they were covered in cellophane blanket and stored in -18...

the variants of angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) and matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of end stage renal disease (esrd) and hypertension. we studied the ace insertion/deletion (i/d) and mmp-7 a-181g variants in 99 unrelated esrd patients and 117 individuals without renal complications from western iran with kurdish ethnic background. the frequency ...

background: viscerotropic leishmaniasis caused by leishmania tropica poses a significant prob­lem in the diagnosis and treatment management. since differential gene expression is more im­portant in outcome of the infection, we employed proteomic approach to identify potential pro­teins involved in visceralization of l. tropica . methods: the proteomes profiling of l. tropica isolated from cutan...

background: medical professionalism helps physicians adopt a proper and good healing action for the patients based on their particular circumstance. this study was conducted to assess professionalism in surgical residents, using a 360-degree evaluation technique in several teaching hospitals in tehran, iran. methods: this study was conducted on all the second and third year surgery residents fr...

background: discriminating latent tuberculosis infection (ltbi) from active tbi may be challenging. the objective of this study was to produce the recombinant l-alanine dehydrogenase (aladh) antigen and evaluate individuals with ltbi, those with active tbi, and uninfected individuals by enzyme-linked immunospot assay (elispot) in order to distinguish ltbi from active tbi. methods: this explorat...

background: matrix metalloproteinase-9 (mmp-9) gene -1562c/t polymorphism could regulate its expression level and thus affected people’s predisposition to essential hypertension. however, related studies yielded inconsistent or contradictory results. methods: to evaluate the association of mmp-9 -1562c/t polymorphism with essential hypertension, we performed a meta-analysis by combining all ava...

Let $R$ be an arbitrary ring with identity and $M$ a right $R$-module with $S=$ End$_R(M)$. The module $M$ is called {it Rickart} if for any $fin S$, $r_M(f)=Se$ for some $e^2=ein S$. We prove that some results of principally projective rings and Baer modules can be extended to Rickart modules for this general settings.

background: immunological factors are important in pregnancy loss because of the interaction between mother and fetus. t-regulatory cells as the component of humeral immune response play important role in the fetu-maternal interface. one of the regulatory mechanisms for these cells is mediated by antigen independent co-stimulatory signals and interaction of cytotoxic t-lymphocyte antigen 4 (b7/...
