OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the tissue dissolution efficacy of four root canal irrigation solutions (sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl], chlorhexidine gluconate [CHX], Octenidine [OCT], and QMix 2in1) on bovine pulp tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty bovine pulp tissue samples, each weighing 6.55 mg, were prepared and randomly divided into four experimental groups and one contro...

in this experiment, physical and chemical characteristics and estimation of effective fiber and digestibility of some agricultural by-products such as lerd, pulp and date kernel, grape pomace, pistachio hulls, lime and rice straw were determined by using in vitro technique. experimental data were analyzed as a complete randomized design, with three replicates. physical and chemical characterist...

This study was aimed to assess the possible laxative effect of aqueous fruit pulp extract of Citrullus lanatus in albino’s Wistar rats. Rats were divided in 5 groups of 6 animals each, first group as control, second group served as standard (sodium picosulfate) while group 3, 4 and 5 were treated with fruit pulp aqueous fruit pulp extract of Citrullus lanatus at doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg...

The giardiacidal efficacy of simple disinfecting materials, ie lemon juice, vinifer, and vinegar, for uncooked foods with Giardia cysts was investigated to help travelers in Giardia-endemic areas. The cysts were obtained from stools of individuals with Giardia intestinalis infection by modified sucrose gradient procedure. A pooled batch of 3 x 10(4)/ml Giardia cysts was made from all specimens....

background subdiaphragmatic activity can produce subdiaphragmatic-related artifacts, which can degrade the quality of myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi). objectives we examined the impact of drinking milk, water, and lemon juice on different subdiaphragmatic-related artifacts by using 99mtc-sestamibi myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) in order to determine a feasible ...

citrus fruits contain numerous nutrients and secondary metabolites including sugars, vitamin c, flavonoids and phenols which have high antioxidant activity and nutritional value. factors such as cultivar, type of stock and fruit position affect the amount of these compounds. hence in this study the amount of sucrose, glucose, total sugar, vitamin c, flavonoids and phenols in pulp, mesocarp and ...
