background and aims: newcastle disease virus (ndv) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. f gene open reading frame (orf) from ndv is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. the f glycoprotein on the surf...

many recent studies have shown that glycosylation patterns of agaricus bisporus are similar to those of mammalians, so that this organism is a good candidate for the expression of glycosylated pharmaceutical protein. to achieve constant interested gene expression in all cells of the organism, proper promoter isolation is necessary. to isolate this promoter, pcr with specific primers was perform...

Background: Antiepileptic drugs, such as sodium valproate (SV), are teratogenic as their usage by the pregnant mother has been associated with an increased risk of major congenital abnormalities in the fetus. In this study, the effects of voluntary exercise and prenatal exposure to SV on learning, memory, and anxiety in rats’ offspring are investigated.Methods: In the present study, 70 fe...

Objectives To observe changes in actin and dendritic spines the hippocampus after propofol anesthesia, to evaluate role of these subsequent learning impairment both young (3-month-old) aged (20-month-old) male rats. Methods The shuttle box test was used from 1, 3, 7, or 14 days anesthesia. Both F-actin content hippocampal CA1 region were observed using immunofluorescent staining western blot as...

The aim of this study was to validate the accuracy of a 10 Hz GPS device (STATSports, Ireland) by comparing the instantaneous values of velocity determined with this device with those determined by kinematic (video) analysis (25 Hz). Ten male soccer players were required to perform shuttle runs (with 180° change of direction) at three velocities (slow: 2.2 m·s-1; moderate: 3.2 m·s-1; high: maxi...
