One well-studied bacterial factor recognized by the host immune system is lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that stimulate host cells, resulting in cell inflammation. Although photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy demonstrates its potency on anti-inflammatory activity, the complete mechanism of action in the host-bacteria interaction model is still elusive. In…[Read more]

Two new species of Acanthobothrium Blanchard, 1848 were collected from rajiform batoids along the coast of Argentina. They are Acanthobothrium carolinae sp. n. from Bathyraja magellanica (Philippi) and Acanthobothrium domingae sp. n. from Dipturus brevicaudatus (Marini). Both belong to category 1 and 2 because their total length is lower than 15…[Read more]

Collectively, this study supports evolutionarily conserved behavioral and physiological effects of kava and kavalactones in zebrafish, implicates brain monoamines in their acute effects, and provides novel important insights into potential role of neuroglial and epigenetic mechanisms in long-term kava use. Establishing new animal models for the…[Read more]

The current study aimed to investigate the ability of chitosan/poly (acrylic acid) nanogel (CAN) to improve the bioavailability and anticancer potential of rutin. Synthesis of CAN was carried out by gamma radiation-induced polymerization of acrylic acid in an aqueous solution of chitosan. The relationship between the hydrodynamic radius of CAN and…[Read more]

The exchange trends of TCEP were characterized as volatilization in urban areas, but equilibrium in rural ones. TCEP showed the highest volatilization flux (1100 ng/m3/d), whereas TCIPP showed the highest deposition flux (-171 ng/m3/d). The significant diffusive fluxes of certain OPFRs, especially of those with suspected toxicities, suggested…[Read more]

/or allosteric influences of protein domains relatively distant from the central gating machinery, can crucially influence the gating process. We consider here the latest advances on these issues provided by the elucidation of eag1 and erg1 three-dimensional structures, and by both classical and more recent functional studies with different…[Read more]

12 age - 2.38 preoperative serum CA125 level - 1.86 preoperative serum HE4 level-2.74 histological type-3.37. AUC of the logistic model in the validation group was 0.71(95%CI 0.54-0.88, P = 0.025). Sensitivity and specificity were 1.00 and 0.44, respectively. CONCLUSION Age, preoperative serum CA125 level and preoperative serum HE4 level are impor…[Read more]

The beginning of 2020 has seen the emergence of COVID-19, an outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, an important pathogen for humans. There is an urgent need to better understand this new virus and to develop ways to control its spread. In Iran, the first case of the COVID-19 was reported after spread from China and other countries.…[Read more]

We show that the mixing of organic solvents with pure water leads to the spontaneous formation of suspended nano-entities which exhibit long-term stability on the scale of months. A wide range of solvents representing different functional groups are studied methanol, ethanol, propanol, acetone, DMSO and formamide. We use various physical and…[Read more]

BACKGROUND To compare the endothelial cell density and morphology in the peripheral cornea before and after corneal cross-linking (CXL). METHODS This study evaluated thirty-one eyes of 31 patients who were treated with standard CXL for progressive keratoconus. Preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively, we compared the corneal endothelial cell d…[Read more]

Permanent magnet multipoles (PMMs) are widely used in accelerators to either focus particle beams or confine plasma in ion sources. The real magnetic field created by PMMs is calculated by magnetic field simulation software and then used in particle tracking codes by means of a three dimensional magnetic field map. A common alternative is to use…[Read more]
