several strains of saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated from different sources. these strains were under taken for ethanol tolerance analysis and growth under stress condition. exponential phase to various concentrations of ethanol (2–26% v/v) for 1 h was used for isolation of resistant strains. viable cells were isolated and purified by inoculation of diluted samples on yeast extract peptone...

there is strong evidence demonstrating that nifedipine dissolved in ethanol selectively inhibits only l-type ca2+ current. in addition, acute ethanol exposure reduces voltage-dependent calcium currents. in the present study, we investigated the antagonistic effect of fixed concentration of nifedipine dissolved in different concentration of ethanol on l-type ca2+ current. in a na+-k+ free soluti...

the aim of this study was to compare the effect of time of parthenogenetic activation (22 hr versus 27 hr after in vitro maturation-ivm) on in vitro development of ovine oocytes using either single (ionomycin 5 ?m for 5 min or ethanol 7% for 7 min) or combined (ionomycin and ethanol with 6-dmap 2 mm for 3 hr) activation treatments. the abattoir-derived in vitro matured activated oocytes were cu...

background: world health organization report in 2014 indicates a considerable range of alcohol consumption across the world which had a growing trend during last 5 years. a study on 5,231 students in 57 universities has shown that alcohol consumption became more common than other drugs, and alcohol is in the first rank for repeated usage. in another study in 2010, the prevalence of alcohol use ...

in this study, the effect of several species of fermenting yeast and fermentation conditions (periodic aeration and temperature) on quality parameters of non-alcoholic beer is assessed. yeast starters with different inoculation percent were added separately into wort with determined gravity. wort was fermented for 48 h in different temperatures under aerobic condition or periodic aeration (ever...

venous malformations are the most common form of symptomatic vascular malformations. vm s could classify into low-flow lesions (vms) and high-flow lesions (avms). for low-flow venous lesions, direct percutaneous puncture with injection of sclerosing agents (sclerotherapy) has been described as a successful therapy. in this article, we want to introduce a patient who treated with ethanol sclerot...

objectives this study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transarterial ethanol ablation (tea) for the treatment of hcc with pvtt. methods patients were treated with tea for pvtt under cone-beam computed tomography and traditional transarterial chemoembolization (tace) with epirubicin for intrahepatic lesions. results seventeen men were successfully treated with tace plus tea. the...

the effects of unleaded gasoline and unleaded gasoline–ethanol blends on engine performance and pollutant emissions were investigated experimentally in a single cylinder, four-stroke spark-ignition engine with variable engine speeds (2600–3500 rpm). four different blends on a volume basis were applied. these are e0 (0% ethanol + 100% unleaded gasoline), e3 (3% ethanol + 97% unleaded gasoline), ...

in the current study, the effects of ethanol (etoh) on toxicokinetics of methamphetamine (ma) and its metabolite amphetamine (ap) were investigated. a single dose of ma hydrochloride at 15 mg/kg was given intragastrically, either alone (ma group; n = 8) or in conjunction with 3 g/kg etoh (ma+etoh group; n = 8) to rabbits. in placebo group, normal saline only was given (placebo group; n = 4). pl...

background: diabetes mellitus is an alarming life style disease in the modern world. exploitation of the anti-diabetic drugs for the amelioration of diabetes and associated life style diseases has become an imperative concern. in this milieu, this study was designed to explore the plausible effects of metformin intervention on hepatic and renal functions in a rat model of alcoholic liver diseas...
