Cure of hematologic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is partially attributable to immunocellular antitumor reactions termed graft-versus-tumor (GvT) effect. GvT effects are heterogeneous with respect to effector cell populations, target antigens, and their interrelation with graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). In the present study, allogeneic parent-into-F1 mu...

field observations of the incurred damages to the buildings and bridges due to earthquakes in near field show there are various failure modes which are in relation to the forces caused by vertical component. while vertical component of earthquake for ordinary buildings in most seismic regulations and standards is not considered. therefore, in the current study the effects of vertical and horizo...

objective: evaluation of bax encoding plasmid for increasing efficacy of dna vaccine plasmid encoding gb of herpes simplex virus type 1. materials and methods: we compared three different dosages of bax encoding plasmid (pcbax) including 10, 25 and 50 μg of plasmid dna. they were co-injected ineradermally with glycoprotein b (gb) of herpes simplex virus (hsv)-1 encoded plasmid (pcgb) in c57bl/6...

the present experiment was undertaken to study the effect of different dosages of β-glucan on the growth, survival and physiological responses in juvenile striped catfish ( pangasianodon hypophthalmus ). over nine weeks of feeding fish with a diet containing 0, 0.5, 1 and 2% β-glucan (as control, g1, g2 and g3 group, respectively), some blood parameters such as serum lysozyme activity, total pr...

Background: Numerous evidences indicate that in some HIV-1 positive patients, the humoral and cellular immune responses are induced against HIV-1 proteins and this is inversely related to the progress of infection. Objective: The aim of this study was the evaluation of the Adenovectors containing HIV genes in induction of immune responses in mice. Methods: The HIV-1 genes including gag p24, rev...

different medicinal plants have been used in animal and poultry nutrition in last decade. it seems that there are some potential to these medicinal plants to replace with common antibiotics. licorice root (glycyrrhiza glabra) is a medicinal plant that extensively was used in different studies. in the present study, the effect of dietary addition of licorice root on performance and blood energy ...

background: premature infants are among high-risk groups in community who need to be hospitalized at intensive care units for survival and receiving basic or special care. hospitalization at neonatal intensive care units (nicus) unsettles the family and leads to the separation of parents from their infants. this study aimed to determine the effects of maternal attachment behaviors on the behavi...

cortical spreading depression (csd) are associated with dramatic failure of brain ion homeostasis, efflux of excitatory amino acids from nerve cells, increased energy metabolism and changes in cerebral blood flow. there is strong clinical and experimental evidence to suggest that csd is involved in the mechanism of migraine, stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury. therefore,...
