background: the up-regulation of galectin-3, galectin-9, and galectin-15 expression in the luminal and glandular epithelium was reported in preparation of the endometrium for embryo implantation at the midlutheal phase. however, no data was available regarding the expression and the distribution pattern of galectin-8 in the human endometrium during a regular menstrual cycle. objective: the curr...

background: the critical role of interleukin-7 (il-7) in homeostatic proliferation and t cell survival has made it a promising cytokine for the treatment of various clinical conditions, especially those associated with lymphopenia. methods: in the present study we expressed recombinant human interleukin-7 (rhil-7) in chinese hamster ovary (cho)-k1 cells. cho-k1 cells were stably transfected wit...

introduction precipitation is one of the most important meteorological variables in comparison with other climatic parameters. it varies extremely over time and space. the occurrence of this climate phenomenon requires specific circumstances in environment. its accurate measurement is important to a wide range of decision makers including hydrologists, agriculturalists, industrialists and etc. ...

introduction atmospheric circulation patterns leads to different weather conditions and rainfall regime change is controlled by seasonal and irregular variations of atmospheric circulation pattern. variety and climate change, such as drought and flood result in changes in the spatio-temporal of precipitation, one of the important parameters conditions mentioned, heterogeneity in moisture transm...

the present study carried out an in vitro experiment on effects of salinity and temperature on acartia tonsa life cycle from caspian sea. during the experiment, temperature and salinity ranged 25, 27, 29 ± 1 °c and 12‰ and 17‰, respectively within a period of 60 days. spawning rate was measured using mesh size of 100 µ planktonic net from surface to 10 m depth. early results show that nauplii a...

the genus eremostachys (lamiaceae), consists of about 60 species which 15 species of eremostachys grow wildly in the north-west of iran. the rhizomes and roots of e. laciniata have traditionally been used as a local analgesic and for the treatment of rheumatic diseases and pain in the feet. this experiment was conducted in the north-west of iran in 2012-2013, to evaluate morphological diversity...

the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, with the ability to produce acc deaminase enzyme, on water relationships and agronomic indices of sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) cultivars was investigated. the soil used was of an ec equal to 7.6 ds m-1. a greenhouse factorial experiment on the basis of a completely randomized block design with three levels ...

new derivatives of 2-[2-(2-chlorophenoxy)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole as candidates for agonistic effect on benzodiazepine receptors were synthesized. conformational analysis and superimposition of energy minima conformers of the novel compounds on estazolam, a known benzodiazepine agonist, revealed that the main proposed benzodiazepine pharmacophores were well matched. in pharmacological evaluatio...

one of the most important atmospheric systems in the eurasian continent during the northern hemisphere winter season is the siberian high pressure. in this study, using the ncep/ncar reanalysis data for winters of 1948-2008, trend of changes in the intensity of the high system center and its effects on some meteorological fields are investigated. the results show that the 2m height mean tempera...

due to the use of secale montanum for different rangelands reclamation across the country, management of these ecosystems need to be aware of its ability to environmental stresses. this research investigated the effect of pollutant element of cu and pb on seed germination and growth of this species in laboratory. therefore, the effect of five treatments (control, 50, 100, 150, 200ppm) of pb (no...
