background and objective: antibiotic consumption is the main way to cure infection induced by helicobacter pylori. on the other hand, antibiotics have side effects on human body. so, finding an efficient way to replace antibiotic consumption seems necessary. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of broccoli sprout extract on the viability of probiotic bacteria and yogurt’s physico...

Background: Microwave Thermotherapy has been gradually used in radiotherapy and it is reported that microwave radiation increases bone demineralization rate independently of temperature. Furthermore, it becomes more and more widespread that the damage caused by the synergistic effect of microwave radiation and hypergravity. The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of microwa...

BACKGROUND Caffeine enhances the cytocidal effects of DNA-damaging agents. This study investigated genes involved in the synergistic effect of caffeine on osteosarcoma cells using gene-profiling analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sensitivity to cisplatin and the synergistic effect of caffeine were evaluated in five osteosarcoma cell lines with different p53 gene status. Gene expression profiles ...

Phenolic and flavonoid compounds are secondary metabolites of plants which possess various activities such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-diabetes and anticancer effects. It has been established that these compounds can scavenge free radicals produced in the body. Because of this ability, not only the plants containing phenolic and flavonoid compounds but also, the pure compounds are use...

Some plants are known as medicinal because they contain active substances that cause certain reaction, from relenting to the cure of disease. Aloe vera Linn. and Azadirachta indica are most important and common medicinal plants. The synergistic effect from the combination of antibiotics with plant extracts against resistant bacteria leads to new ways for the treatment of infectious diseases. Sy...

bismuth salts and different antimicrobials including metonidazole & tetracyclines were used in the assessment of inhibition zone of helicobacter pylori cultures on solid media. antibiotics were used or in combined in order to find out their possible synergistic effects. it was showed that: only bismuth substrate and not then salts have antibacterial effects on helicobacter pylori and also on th...
