in this work, reactive absorption of gases in aqueous electrolyte solutions has been investigated resulting in the development of a procedure in order to calculate the concentrations of ionic and molecular species in the liquid phase. two duplicate experiments were conducted to investigate simultaneous reactive absorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide in partially carbonated ammonia solutions. ...

under prolonged diabetic conditions, hba1c is produced from normal hemoglobin (hba0) through a non-enzymatic glycosylation or glycation, a process which enhances the hemoglobin susceptibility to be auto-oxidized to methemoglobin (methb). here we are reporting that the non-enzymatic reaction between fructose and methb (methb fructation) induces significant changes in the globin structure and deg...

localized leishmania lymphadenitis (l.l.l) is a self limited clinical presentation of cutaneous leishmaniasis. microscopic findings in l.l.l are very similar to toxoplasma lymphasenitis. in all cases, an intensive microscopic search should be done for leishman bodies. in this study, we describe our microscopic findings and results of our immnohistochemical (ihc) study with a panel of monoclonal...

to find the protective role of exogenous nitric oxide (no) on salinity-stressed rice seedlings, a crd-based factorial experiment with three replications was conducted in agronomy laboratory of the faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan, in 2012. the experimental design consisted of healthy and vigorous seedlings of two rice cultivars, khazar and goohar, the last already known as...

static verification and software testing are not able to verify software single-handedly. therefore, another approach called run-time verification dealing with verifying software behavior against constraints at run-time received attention. however, the run-time verification faces the problem of verification of run-time activities against the constraints are specified in high-level and abstractl...

auto-reactive cells-mediated immune responses are responsible for the current tissue damages during autoimmunity. accordingly, functional modulation of auto-reactive cells has been a pivotal aim in many of recent studies. in the current study, we investigated the possibility for insertion of regulatory molecules onto auto-reactive cells through exosomal nano-shuttles as a novel approach for phe...

drought stress is one of the serious problems that restricted agronomic plant production worldwide. inmolecular level, the harmful effect of drought stress is mostly caused by producing of large amount ofreactive oxygen species (ros). catalase and metallothionein genes have a crucial role to mope the hydrogenperoxide (h2o2) resulting reducing oxidative damage. in this research the gene expressi...

background multiple population-based human studies have established a strong association between increasing levels of serum c-reactive protein, uric acid and subsequent development of hypertension. objectives we aimed to investigate the association between mental well-being with presence of hypertension, hyperuricemia and hs-crp levels. ‬‬ patients and methods this was a cross sectional study o...

background and purpose: textile effluents are very difficult to treat satisfactorily due to high variations in their compositions. strong color is one of the main characteristics of textile effluent and, if not eliminated, it can cause serious problems to the environment. in the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) were used as an adsorbent for the removal of reactive red-120 (...

conclusions we found that the use of clopidogrel in patients undergoing pci had favorable effects on the suppression of hs-crp. this effect appears to be heightened and more apparent in some group of patients with co-morbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. results six hundred-fifty patients including 386 (59.4%) male and 264 (40.6%) female subjects were enrolled in the study. the mean hs...
