[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Novel α-(Acyloxy)-α-(Quinolin-4-yl) Acetamides as Antiplasmodial Agents

Because of expanding resistance to efficient and affordable antimalarial drugs likechloroquine, the search is continuing for more effective drugs against this disease. In-vitroantiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of α-(acyloxy)-α-(quinolin-4-yl) acetamides onPlasmodium falciparum and structure-activity relationships of this new class of Passeriniadducts is described. The in-vitro antiplasmo...

[ 3 ] - جداسازی و بررسی خصوصیات فنوتیپی و مولکولی ژنهای متالوبتالاکتاماز گونه‌های سودوموناس آئروژینوزا جدا شده از نمونه های بالینی بیمارستان ولیعصر زنجان

چکیده زمینه و هدف : عفونت توسط سودوموناس آیروژینوزا درتمام جهان گسترش یافته است و گزارشات مکرر انتشار متالوبتالاکتامازها نشان از سرعت رو به رشد آن دارد. هدف از این مطالعه تعیین حساسیت آنتی بیوتیکی و تشخیص ژن‌های متالوبتالاکتاماز (MBLs) از نوع IMP و VIM در سودوموناس آئروژینوزای ایزوله شده ازانواع نمونه‌های بالینی استان زنجان می باشد. روش بررسی : تعداد 70 ایزوله‌ی سودوموناس‌آیروژینوزا از بیم...

[ 4 ] - بررسی مولکولی و تعیین تایپ‌های SCCmec در استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس‌های مقاوم به متی سیلین جدا شده از پرسنل بیمارستان‌های آموزشی درمانی استان زنجان

Background and purpose: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates are the most common pathogen that causes hospital and community acquired infections. Studying on drug resistance, it is important strategy to prevent these types of infections. The use of molecular typing methods is essential for determining the origin of the strains and also in epidemiological investigations....

[ 5 ] - Identification and Characterization of Metallo-β-Lactamases Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates in University Hospital from Zanjan Province, Iran

Background: Infectious by Pseudomonas aeruginosa has spread worldwide and metallo-beta-lactamases (MBL) are being reported with increasing frequency. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility and distribution of blaVIM and blaIMP genes in P. aeruginosa isolates from Zanjan Province of Iran. Methods: A total of 70 P. aeruginosa isolates were identified from patients ...

[ 6 ] - Phoenix dactylifera L. Fruit Induces Cell Proliferation of A2780, A172 and HFFF2 Cell Lines

Dates fruit has been used as staple food in the Middle East for thousands of years and various types of dates are found worldwide. Dates and their constituents show various roles in diseases prevention and treatment through anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial activity. In the present study we investigated the activity of aqueous and n-hexane extracts of Phoenix dactylifera L. fruit ...

[ 7 ] - The Hypoglycemic Effects of an Ethanol Extract of Peganum harmala in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Peganum harmala is a plant that is traditionally used as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-helmintic, and antimutagenic agent. Moreover, it is used to treat a variety of human ailments, including depression. This study was conducted to investigate the antidiabetic activity of hydro alcoholic extract of this herb. A hydro alcoholic extract from seeds of this herb ...

[ 8 ] - Application of Live, Dead and Dried Biomasses of Aspergillus Versicolor for Cadmium Biotreatment

Background: Various industries produce and discharge wastes containing different heavy metals into the environment. Apart from using living biomass, dead and dried biomasses have been introduced as a new field of biotreatment technology. Method: The cadmium (Cd) (II) removal characteristics of live (growing), dead (autoclaved), and oven-dried biomasses of Aspergillus versicolor were examined a...

[ 9 ] - Nanobody as a new generation of functional proteins

Nanobody (Nb) or VHH is the smallest binding domain of camelid heavy chain antibody (HcAb). Light chains of HcAb naturally removed and because of some evolutionary changes, Nbs have unique properties rather than conventional antibodies. The size of Nb is about one-tenth (0.1) of whole antibodies and this size improved some problems of four chains antibodies such as high yield of expression in p...

[ 10 ] - NMR-based plasma metabolic profiling in patients with unstable angina

Objective(s): Unstable angina (UA) is a form of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that affects more than a third of the population before age 70. Due to the limitations of diagnostic tests, appropriate identification of UA is difficult. In this study, we proceeded to investigate metabolite profiling in UA patients compared with controls to determine potential candidate...
