Cationic materials exhibit remarkable anti-inflammatory activity in experimental arthritis models. Our aim was to confirm this character of cationic materials and investigate its possible mechanism. Adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) models were used to test cationic materials for their anti-inflammatory activity. Cationic dextran (C-dextran) with different cationic degrees was used to investigat...

Solid deposition, such as the formation of ice on outdoor facilities, the deposition of scale in water reservoirs, the sedimentation of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) in sewer systems, and the precipitation of wax in petroleum pipelines, cause a serious waste of resources and irreversible environmental pollution. Inspired by fish and pitcher plants, we present a self-replenishable organogel materia...

during a search of burrows for the purpose of capturing rodents in 1972, a number of soil samples were inspected for the collection of sand fly larvae. in this study, a total of 472 plastic bags of soil samples were collected from different depths of 30 rodent burrows. fourteen of these samples were found positive, from which 27 larvae were removed. most of the larvae were found in the depths o...

background: zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is a neglected disease with public health importance that is common in many rural areas of iran. in recent years, behavioral resistance and/or bait shyness against the common rodenticide among reservoir hosts of zcl have been reported. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of klerat® and zinc phosphide against natural reservoi...

Nucleotide sequences of mouse parvovirus (MPV) isolate, named MPV/UT, and mouse minute virus (MMV) were analyzed and used for expressing recombinant proteins in E. coli. ELISA tests using recombinant major capsid protein (rVP2) and recombinant major non-structural protein (rNS1) as antigens were developed and their performance in serologic detection of rodent parvovirus infection was assessed. ...

Insulin sensitivity is a symptom of diabetes, which caused by insulin resistance, decreasing production and ultimately pancreatic cancer. The current study focused on the anti-diabetic antioxidant properties Chrysanthemum indicum flower extract to scientifically validate claim in silico docking studies natural compounds present for their respective sites against selected proteins. Pharmacologic...
