Objective(s): In this study, we desvcribe a simple eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of a potent, stable and benign silver nanoparticles to carry and deliver chalcones and dihydrochalcones present in a methanol extract of Eysenhardtia polystachya (EP). Materials and Methods: In this process silver nanoparticles carring EP compounds (EP/AgNPs) are synthesized in a single step by eliminatin...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the importance of cytokine type in embryo implantation in uterus specified and activated macrophages interfere the tube movements and embryo retention in uterine tubes by smooth muscle relaxation and disrupting ciliary function. Therefore, increased risk of infection with HP during pregnancy, we investigated relation between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and prevalenc...

Background: Recent advances showed that oxygen radicals and hydrogen peroxides are linked with the development of several pathological processes associated with chemotherapy, including adverse effects of anti-tumor drugs. Methotrexate (MTX) is an antifolate that is widely used in the treatment of rheumatic disorders and malignant tumors. The efficacy of methotrexate is often limited by severe s...

Background: The presence of immune system within the female reproductive tract is increasingly being recognized as an important element for maintaining host protection and promoting reproductive functions. The Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) family plays an important role in innate immune responses against microbial pathogens within the genital tract. These receptors recognize distinct pathogen-asso...

Results: The data showed that pregnancies had significant association with EP, two pregnancies and three or more pregnancies were increased the risk of EP, adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=14.39, 95% CI: 2.37, 87.49 and AOR=14.87, 95% CI: 2.27, 97.38, respectively. The risk of EP in women of previous abdominal or pelvic surgery was also significantly increased (AOR=4.43, 95% CI: 1.04, 18.92). While no...

This study investigated Environmental Sustainability (ES) and Performance (EP) through the direct indirect use of Organizational Culture (OEC). focused on top managers, namely, CEOs directors SMEs, along with their middle managers. In this study, researchers employed green HRM Green Innovation (GI) as mediators. We applied a quantitative approach that utilized cross-sectional data collected fro...

The relationship between the endolymphatic potential (EP) and the sodium and potassium concentration gradients between endolymph and interstitial fluid was studied both by measuring the EP at varying concentrations of sodium and potassium in endolymph and by measuring the effect of a depressed EP on the concentrations of these cations. Ethacrynic acid was used in dogs to change the concentratio...

The role of erythropoietin (EP) in polycythemia vera (PV) is controversial, with some experiments suggesting that erythroid progenitors in PV are exquisitely sensitive to EP and EP dependent, and others suggesting that PV progenitors are EP independent. We have examined the characteristics of the EP receptor (EP-R) on erythroid colony-forming cells (ECFC) from patients with PV. In contrast to n...

We examined the role of prostaglandin E (EP) receptor subtypes in the regulation of gastric acid secretion in the rat. Under urethane anesthesia, the stomach was superfused with saline, and the acid secretion was determined at pH 7.0 by adding 50 mM NaOH. The acid secretion was stimulated by intravenous infusion of histamine or pentagastrin. Various EP agonists were administered intravenously, ...
