conclusions our findings showed a high occurrence of metallo-β-lactamase production among p. aeruginosa isolates in burn patient infections in our region. also, there are p. aeruginosa isolates carrying the bla-vim-1 and bla-vim-2 genes in isfahan province. background metallo-β-lactamase-production among gram-negative bacteria, including pseudomonas aeruginosa, has become a challenge for treatm...

odontogenic tumors constitute a group of heterogeneous lesions of benign and malignant neoplasms with variable aggressiveness. ameloblastomas are a group of benign but locally invasive neoplasms that occur in the jaws and are derived from epithelial elements of the tooth-forming apparatus. we previously described orosomucoid-1 protein expression in odontogenic myxomas. however, whether orosomuc...

asymmetrically mixed matrix matrimid-mil-53 membranes with silicone cover layer were fabricated. for better understanding of membrane fabrication process, three main parameters of fabrication, matrimid concentration, silicone concentration and weight percentage of metal organic framework (mil-53) particles, were optimized by an experimental design method. cross-section sem images were used to s...

background klebsiella pneumoniae is a family member of enterobacteriaceae. isolates of k. pneumoniae produce enzymes that cause decomposition of third generation cephalosporins. these enzymes are known as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl). resistance of k. pneumoniae to beta-lactamase antibiotics is commonly mediated by beta-lactamase genes. objectives the aim of this study was to identif...

htlv-1 is the causative agent for a neurologic disease named htlv-i- associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (ham/tsp). paraparesis of the lower limbs which appears gradually is the most common clinical feature of this disease. it has been shown that the indirect involvement of the nervous system by lymphocytes is more probable than the direct attack of the virus to the neurons. htlv...

in this study, the densities, excess molar volumes and partial molar volumes of four binary systems containing n,n-dimethyl acetamide (dmac) with 1-alkanols (1-butanol up to 1-heptanol) are measured at 298.15 k. the results showed both constructive and expansive excess volumetric behavior for studying binary mixtures. deviation values of heavy alcohol have more positive and less negative excess...
