We have theoretically investigated the effect of doping in oligothiophenes (Tn, n=2-8) with the DFT method at UB3LYP level with 6-31G(d) basis set. Our attention focused on the study of the geometrical and electronic properties in the neutral and doped states. We show that the doping process modify both bond lengths and torsion angles and also electronic properties by enhancing the planarity an...

elevated serum level of bilirubin is a common manifestation which is occurred in several diseases. hyperbilirubinemia can manifest either conjugated or unconjugated. conjugated or direct hyperbilirubinemia usually are caused by hepatocellular diseases or cholestatic liver diseases. merely conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is the main manifestation of two congenital syndromes, including dubin-johnso...

Objective(s): Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent cancer worldwide. The present study aimed to synthesize and investigate the potential of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) conjugated with polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) incorporating 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Materials and Methods: The NPs were investigated in terms of various characteristics, such as the particle size, ...

Introduction: In recent years, bismuth-based nanomaterials have been widely used in medical researches as imaging, drug delivery and x-ray radiosensitizing agents. Due to their anti-microbial effects against Helicobacter pylori (HP), bismuth colloidal compounds are used to treat various types of diseases such as chronic gastritis. Despite their advantages, bismuth-based compoun...

We report a colorimetric assay to detect influenza A virus using sialyllactose-levan-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). successfully conjugated 2, 3- and 6-sialyllactose levan synthesized AuNPs. Each sialyllactose-conjugated specifically interacted with recognizable lectin. Synthesized acted as reducing coating agents during the formation of Human bound 6-sialyllactose-levan-conjugated More...

background & aim:  menopause is one of the most critical stages in a woman’s life. special attention needs to be paid to the quality of life of menopausal women. symptoms of genitourinary atrophy can affect women’s comfort and quality of life. the aim of this study was to compare two treatment methods of vitamin e suppository and conjugated estrogens vaginal cream on the quality of life of meno...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of various refining processes’ conditions on conjugated dienes in soybean oil. conjugated dienes contents of soybean oil were found to undergo reduction in neutralization and bleaching steps while being increased in deodorization. it was observed that alkali refining (neutralization) through 12 and 14 °bé, bleaching with either acid ac...

abstract background: menopause is associated with various complications such as depression, sleep disorders, and genitourinary atrophy. vaginal atrophy occurs due to the loss of steroid hormones, and its major symptoms include vaginal dryness, itching, dyspareunia, and bleeding after intercourse. according to the literature, vitamin e plays a key role in estrogen stability. the aim of this stud...

background: zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is an increasing public health problem in some endemic re­gions. horseradish peroxidase (hrp) conjugated rabbit anti- rhombomys opimus ( r. opimus ) ig is needed for im­munoblotting and elisa tests used to explore the immune response of the rodents against the sand fly saliva. in this study, the production of hrp conjugated rabbit anti- r. opim...
