the objective of the present study is to develop and investigate the swelling behavior of ph-sensitive superporous hydrogel (sph) and sph composite (sphc). a novel superporous hydrogel containing poly (methacrylic acid-co-acrylamide) was synthesized from methacrylic acid and acrylamide through the aqueous solution polymerization, using n,n-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker and ammonium pe...

oxygen-derived free radical* (ofr) involvement in ischacmia-rcpcrfusion (ir) injury was investigated in a rat isolated kidney model, using 20 minutes iscliaemia followed by 15 or 60 minutes reperfusion. two antioxidants, the xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol and the hydroxyl radical scavenger dimcthylthiourca (dmtu), were uscit to try and prevent ofr-relatcd damage. renal function was esti...

preoperative gleason score (gs) obtained from trans rectal ultra sonography (trus) is the most common grading system to evaluate the appropriate treatment for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. but this method showed upgraded and downgraded results in comparison to gleason score obtained from radical prostatectomy. the current study aimed to determine clinical or pathological v...

reactions of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ros) with biological molecules in vivo play an important physiological role in many diseases. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) is a stable free radical and often used as a routine reagent to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant. this study was undertaken to investigate the free radical-scavenging and antioxidant activiti...

Antioxidants are vital substances which possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radical induced oxidative stress. A variety of free radical scavenging antioxidants exist within the body which many of them are derived from dietary sources like fruits, vegetables and teas. In this study the antioxidant activity and radical scavenging activity of methanolic extracts of s...

In this paper we characterize the radical of an arbitrary‎ ‎submodule $N$ of a finitely generated free module $F$ over a‎ ‎commutatitve ring $R$ with identity‎. ‎Also we study submodules of‎ ‎$F$ which satisfy the radical formula‎. ‎Finally we derive‎ ‎necessary and sufficient conditions for $R$ to be a‎ ‎Pr$ddot{mbox{u}}$fer domain‎, ‎in terms of the radical of a‎ ‎cyclic submodule in $Rbigopl...

A vast majority of the studies addressing the free radicals including hydroxyl radical is a damage compound of biochemical molecules such as DNA, proteins and lipids. When free radicals specially hydroxyl radical are not adequately removed from the body, it may damage biological macromolecules, leading to a variety of disease occurs. Therefore, the body should be protected by an enzymatic or no...

Let $X$ be a $BCH$-algebra and $I$ be an ideal of $X$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of $sqrt{I}$. We show that it is an ideal of $X$, when $I$ is closed ideal of $X$. Then we verify some useful properties of it. We prove that it is the ::::union:::: of all $k-$nil ideals of $I$. Moreover, if $I$ is a closed ideal of $X$, then $sqrt{I}$ is a closed translation ideal and so we can cons...
