abstract in order to investigate the freezing tolerance of field grown fennel (fueniculum vulgare mill) under controlled conditions, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with three replications in agricultural college, ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2004. treatments were two fennel ecotypes (khorasan and kerman), two planting dates (oct 8th and 29th ) an...

introduction: the aim of the present investigation was to compare the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and 0.2% chlorhexidine (chx) mixture to pure mta, as a pulp capping material. methods and materials: the pulp of 24 lateral incisors and canines from four dogs were exposed and capped either with mta or mta+0.2% chx. after 2 months the animals were sacrificed and the teeth were pre...

due to physiological disorder, primary bud necrosis (pbn) in grapevine is a great problem in vineyards, resulting in reduced yield. primary bud necrosis (pbn) is physiological disorder resulting in the death of the primary bud. the present study conducted through a light on this critical problem in a vineyard of cisakht region. a factorial experiment with three levels of cold temperature (-10, ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the degree of tumor necrosis in surgical specimens of hepatocellular carcinomas treated with microspheres preloaded with doxorubicin and to analyze the relationship between the degree of necrosis and a) morphologic factors and b) imaging biomarkers. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied the livers of 21 patients who had undergone selective arterial chemoembolization with DC b...

Introduction: Chronic otitis media (COM) has been broadly classified into mucosal and squamous subtypes. COM types are associated with erosion of the ossicular chain. The aim of the present study was to correlate the type of COM, the site of perforation/retraction, and the type of disease pathology with the pattern and degree of ossicular chain necrosis.   Materials and Methods: A prospecti...

conclusions mucomycosis should be in differncial diagnosis of any chronic infiltrative lesions even without visible necrosis and normal immune status of the patient. introduction cutaneous infection is an uncommon presentation of mucormycosis, usually seen after trauma, at the site of surgical drains or after occlusive dressings. the involved area is erythematous and painful, with varying degre...

Acute severe pancreatitis is associated with a high morbidity and mortality and frequently is accompanied by underlying pancreatic parenchymal necrosis. Patients with pancreatic necrosis must be identified, because the morbidity and mortality rate in this subgroup is much higher. Our objective was to compare the clinical outcomes of these patients based on the degree of pancreatic necrosis. A t...

conclusions taken together, these data reveal that cellular protease of chicken liver cells allows the replication of high yields of h9n2 virus in the absence of trypsin and also cell death in the infected cells is due to necrosis. results the degree of viability was significantly reduced in infected hepatoma cells. observations of caspase activation and cell dna laddering in infected cells wer...
