antibiotic resistance is an important problem in antibiotic treatment of infections, particularly in hospitals. tomatidine is a plant secondary metabolite with antimicrobial and antifungal effects. this study examined the possible synergistic effect tomatidine with several antibiotics against standard and clinical strains of staphylococcus aureus, enterococcus faecalis, pseudomonas aeruginosa a...

the aim followed in the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of individual vs. combined extracts of rosemary leaves and oak fruit to detect the possible interactions in their antioxidant activity following combination and in order to find a way to use oak fruit natural antioxidants as an available massive source in iran. towards this end, methanolic extracts of rosemary and oa...

phenolic and flavonoid compounds are secondary metabolites of plants which possess various activities such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-diabetes and anticancer effects. it has been established that these compounds can scavenge free radicals produced in the body. because of this ability, not only the plants containing phenolic and flavonoid compounds but also, the pure compounds are use...

alismatis rhizoma decoction (ard) is a classical traditional chinese medicine (tcm) formula for treatment of vertigo with its long history of successful clinical effect. since vertigo is a symptom of hyperlipidemia, this study aimed at evaluating the hypolipidemic effect of ard in hyperlipidemia mice induced by high fat diet (hfd) and investigated the rationality of formula combination of alism...

a series of copper and cobalt substituted nanospinel ferrites have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method. these compounds were characterized by ft-ir, xrd, edx, sem and vsm techniques. all of the synthesized nanospinel ferrites were found to be highly efficient and magnetically recoverable in the solvent-free synthesis of substituted 2,6-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-phenols (trisphenols). a wide ran...

electric arc furnace dust (eafd) of ferromanganese production units, in the form of slurry, contains tar, alkalies, manganese, zinc, iron, silica, calcium, aluminum and other elements. a hydrometallurgical route based on solvent extraction technique was investigated for selective separation of manganese from the dust. leaching of the eafd resulted in an aqueous feed containing 4 g/l of manganes...

background : there are growing evidences for chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes . highly variable inter- and intra-individual responses have been reported. some individuals are non-responders and even in some donors the frequency of chromatid aberrations induced by a challenge dose increases by pre-exposure to an adapting dose. it has been proposed that the lack of radioada...
