specific and non- specific cellular immune responses were studied in 20 amoebiasis cases and 10 controls. all the study cases and controls were indians living in varanasi, india. ten amoebic liver abscess cases were patients admitted to university hospital. ten non-invasive intestinal amoebiasis cases constituted the second study group. non-specific immune responses were studied using e-rosette...

micrornas (mirnas) represent a class of small non-coding rna molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. they play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. ionizing radiation (ir) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration. recently it has been discovered that mi...

landsat data for 1992, 2000, and 2013 land use changes for ekbatan dam watershed was simulated through ca-markov” model. two classification methods were initially used, viz. the maximum likelihood (mal) and support vector machine (svm). although both methods showed high overall accuracy and kappa coefficient, visually mal failed in separating land uses, particularly built up and dry lands.there...

background there is currently great concern about the possible adverse effect of microwave radiation from cell phones. in addition, noise is one of the physical pollutants of modern societies. objectives the present study aimed to examine the separate and simultaneous effects of cell phone microwaves, noise, and their effects on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in adult male rats...

background: micropatterning is becoming a powerful tool for studying cells in vitro. this method not only uses very small amount of material but also mimic the microenvironment structure present in living tissues better than flask culturing techniques. in previous studies using micropatterning of extracellular matrix proteins on glass surfaces, the rate of protein detachment from the surface wa...

the effects of methanolic extract and leaf powder of artemisia annua were studied on performance, cellular and humoral immunity in 240 cobb broiler chicks in a completely randomized design. control group did not receive any treatment. the chicks in the second and third groups were fed with feed which contained 2000 and 4000 ppm plant extract in diet and in the groups 4, 5 and 6 chicks received ...

we prove that if $m$ is a monoid and $a$ a finite set with more than one element‎, ‎then the residual finiteness of $m$ is equivalent to that of the monoid consisting of all cellular automata over $m$ with alphabet $a$‎.

objectives: the aim of the present study was to investigate immunotoxic effect of safranal (saf), a main component of crocus sativus essential oil, using balb/c mice. materials and methods: saf was administered intraperitoneally at doses of 0.1, 0.5 and 1 ml/kg for 3 weeks. hystopathological examination of spleen and bone marrow, cellularity of spleen, delayed type of hypersensitivity (dth) res...

cellular and molecular anesthesia: from bench to bedside in the current practice of anesthesia, each day, anesthesiologists deal with a great work: they use the cellular mechanisms of drug molecules to induce their desired effects for induction and maintenance of anesthesia to achieve appropriate tolerance of surgery and its pain, modulation of stress response, sedation needed for performing a ...
