introduction: diazinon is a moderately toxic broad-spectrum organophosphate, with a ld50 of 350 to 400 mg/kg for humans. diazinon is absorbed through the skin and gastrointestinal tract and is rapidly metabolized within a few hours. diazinon residues in melons and cucumbers have recently became a major health concern in iran. thus we decided to investigate diazinon levels in melon and cucumbers...

Genistein, an isoflavone, has been demonstrated to promote the health of human beings by reducing the incidence of specific chronic diseases, namely, cancer and atherosclerosis. The present investigation explores a novel method of extraction of genistein from soy source which consists of a bioconversion reaction using fermentation by microorganism namely Streptomyces roseolus NRRL B-5424. In si...

Thermo-exfoliated graphite (TEG)/CuO/Cu2(OH)3NO3:(Co/Fe) composites were prepared using a wet impregnation method and subsequent thermal treatment. The physicochemical characterization of the composites was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Ar temperature-desorption techniques. The catalytic efficiency toward CO conversion to CO2 was examined...

The samples from Xishanyao Formation in Gashunwusan Mine were analysed by inductively coupled plasma massspectrometry (ICP-MS), X-Ray fluorimetry (XRF) and other techniques. Through the use of the above techniques, we researched characteristics and modes of occurrence of the trace elements. According to content and ratios of trace elements, we discussed coalforming environments of the research ...

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by heredity or deficiency in insulin secretion. This has occupied the second position as an epidemic Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that nearly 70% of diabetic patients use plants main source antidiabetic agents. One used community for long time to lower blood sugar Timonius flavescens (family Rubiaceae). study aims deter...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production is affected by different diseases andTomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) the most prevalent and devastating begomovirus. Tyresistant cultivars were developed Asian Vegetable Research Development Center (AVRDC)Taiwan, using combinations of Ty genes to observe pyramiding effects on resistance againstvarious Begomoviruses. Cultivars containing grown in gl...

A set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on X chromosome was selected with the aim of forensic identification in Chinese Han population to complement the analysis of autosomal, Y-chromosomal or mitochondrial markers, especially in deficiency cases. 67 forensically relevant X-SNPs were screened in a Chinese Han population sample. Genomic DNA samples extracted from 295 unrelated Chinese Han...

CACorresponding Author These authors contributed equally to this study EVIDENCE suggests that cannabinoid receptors, the pharmacologcial target of cannabis-derived drugs, and their accompanying system of endogenous activators may be dysfunctional in schizophrenia. To test this hypothesis, we examined whether endogenous cannabinoid concentrations in cerebrospinal ̄uid of schizophrenic patients ar...
