objective(s):to clarify the protective effects of cichorium glandulosum (cg) extracts on thioacetamide (taa)-induced rat hepatic fibrosis. materials and methods: the dry roots of cg were smashed and percolated with 95% ethanol, and the residual was prepared into petroleum ether extract (cg-v), ethyl acetate extract (cg-vi) and n-butyl alcohol extract (cg-vii). thirty-six wistar rats were random...

Background Quality improvement should be assigned as the main mission for healthcare providers. Clinical Governance (CG) is used not only as a strategy focusing on responding to public and government’s intolerance of poor healthcare standards, but also it is implemented for quality improvement in a number of countries. This study aims to identify the key contributing factors in the implementati...

for the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (ni) modified composite graphite (cg) electrode (hcp-nano ni/cg) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 m koh). the hcp-nano ni/cg electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare cg. the elec...
