STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS An ideal antimicrobial agent should have minimal cytotoxic effect to host cells. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxic effect of three commercial mouthwashes (Chlorhexidine, Persica and Irsha) on the cultured fibroblasts. MATERIAL AND METHODS For determining the cytotoxic effect of Irsha, Chlorhexidine and Persica, uninfected cells were grown in ...

Populations of Brachycaudus schwartzi (Börner) were found on peach and nectarine (Prunus persica Siebold & Zuccarini) trees in Parlier, CA, in summer 2000. To determine if this aphid could be a pest of P. persica, a nine-variety host range test was conducted using a no-choice arena and temperature-dependent development studies of the aphid at 15, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30, and 32.5 C. Nectarine va...

Wound healing is a complex physiological process that is controlled by a well-orchestrated cascade of interdependent biochemical and cellular events, which has spurred the development of therapeutics that simultaneously target these active cellular constituents. We assessed the potential of Parrotia persica (Hamamelidaceae) in wound repair by analyzing the regenerative effects of its two main p...

in order to identify daldinia species in guilan province, several specimens were collected during 2011–13. a total of six taxa, including daldinia caldariorum (on morus alba); d. childiae (on parrotia persica, pterocarya fraxinifolia, morus alba, quercus sp., prunus sp., citrus sinensis, gleditschia caspica, buxus sempervirens, carpinis betulus and alnus subcordata); d. gelatinoides (on m. alba...

The species Gracilariopsis persica was first described by Bellorin et al. (2008). G. persica grows from late September to July and shows high growth rate from January to May in the Persian Gulf. Tissue growth and branch induction of red seaweed, Gracilariopsis persica from the Persian Gulf investigated under various culture levels of temperature, light intensity, photoperiod, salinity, initial ...

in this investigation, the effect of different treatments on breaking of seed dormancy of almond species and peach seeds include prunus scoparia spach, p. haussknechtii bornm, p. communis l. and p. persica l. was studied to determine their seed germination percentages. first, mature seeds, without endocarp were treated with two percent tmtd® (tetramethylthiuram disulphide) fungicide solution fo...

AIM The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different cavity disinfectants on microleakage of Class V resin- based composite restorations in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standard non-beveled Class V cavities were prepared on 50 human primary anterior teeth with the incisal and cervical margin placed on the enamel. The crowns were randomly divided into 6 groups. Four e...

Spatio-temporal distribution of epifauna collected with a sledge was studied on the Cilician shelf of the Mediterranean Sea. There were two different communities: the shallow community was restricted to water at 5 and 10 m deep with sandy bottom inhabited abundantly by Conomurex persicus, Arnoglossus laterna and Murex trunculus. Conomurex persicus, an introduced tropical species predominated th...
