iranian traditional medicine (itm) manuscripts contain prescriptions that have long been used for healing of wounds. the present study evaluates the healing effect of a poly herbal paste (php), retrieved from itm sources, containing aloe vera, commiphora myrrha and boswellia carteri using rat excision wound model. excision wounds were induced in six groups consisting of six rats each. group 1 r...

In dilute suspensions of swimming microorganisms the local fluid velocity is a random superposition of the flow fields set up by the individual organisms, which in turn have multipole contributions decaying as inverse powers of distance from the organism. Here we show that the conditions under which the central limit theorem guarantees a Gaussian probability distribution function of velocities ...

As several cases of the disease caiiea unionypne varieri, ur r uugus Foot, have occurred under my observation and treatment in the Government Charitable Dispensary, Hissar, I subjoin the notes of a case, -which, I hope, will be interesting:?

The effect of the paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes on the structure of the bioticcommunities are stronger and better recorded in the shelf area than in the open sea. The present study isdevoted to impact of climatic events on some species of calcareous nannofossils. For this reason, 17samples of surface sediments of the Persian Gulf were studied. Preservation of calcareous nannofoss...

The Zuotin-family J protein chaperone GlsA is essential for the asymmetric divisions that establish germ and somatic cell initials during embryogenesis in the green alga Volvox carteri, but it is not known on what cellular process GlsA acts to carry out this function. Most GlsA protein is nuclear, and GlsA possesses two SANT domains, suggesting that GlsA may function as a transcriptional regula...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that are involved in many biological process in eukaryotes. They play a crucial role in modulating genetic expression of their targets, which makes them integral components of transcriptional regulatory networks. As sponges (phylum Porifera) are commonly considered the most basal metazoan, the in-depth capture of miRNAs from these organisms provides ...
