the aim of this work was to investigate the influence of interactions between modified starch (hi-cap 100) and the nonionic surfactant tween 80 on the properties of cardamom oil-in-water emulsion and its corresponding spray dried microcapsules. to this end the mean diameter and size distribution of droplets as well as their polydispersity index and also the viscosity and flow behavior of emulsi...

Background & objective Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH) and the expression of some microRNAs could be useful as biomarkers for diagnosis NAFLD. The aim this study was to identify patterns differential PLWH assess their diagnostic value NALFD. Methods A discovery case-control carried out. miRNAs determined using HTG EdgeSeq tec...

A phenolic amine compound, 4-S-cysteaminylphenol (4-S-CAP), is a potent depigmenting agent. To develop more efficacious antimelanoma agents, we synthesized four homologues of 4-S-CAP: N-acetyl-4-S-CAP (N-Ac-4-S-CAP), alpha-methyl-4-S-CAP, 4-S-homo-CAP, and N,N'-dimethyl-4-S-CAP. We tested these five compounds in mice in vivo. After s.c. or i.p. injection of saline solution (in control groups) o...

Objective: Psychological factors such as the health locus of control play an important role on health behaviors such as adherence to diet regimen. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of health locus of control in predicting adherence to diet regimen among a group of patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Research sample was recruited from several clinics in Shiraz...

Algal biorefinery process utilizes every component of algal biomass to produce multiple useful fuel products. In this technique, acid pretreatment of algal biomass hydrolyzes microalgal carbohydrates into fermentable sugars, makes lipids more extractable and a protein part accessible for additional products. In the present study, Chlorella sorkiniana produced higher quantity of biodiesel than B...
