During asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), bacteria colonize the urinary tract for extended periods of time without causing symptoms of urinary tract infection. Previous studies indicate that many Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains that cause ABU have evolved from uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) by reductive evolution and loss of the ability to express functional virulence factors. For instance, the p...

Studies show that the pH of the malaria parasite’s digestive vacuole (DV) plays a key role in the physiological functions of this organelle and antimalarial drug accumulation, and yet is technically difficult to measure. In this study, a flow cytometry-based technique was developed to measure the DV pH using a ratiometric pH indicator, FITC-dextran loaded into the DV of saponin-permeabilized pa...

It has been reported that the activation of multiple myeloma (MM) cells by CD40 induces proliferation, growth arrest, and apoptosis. To determine whether the biologic sequelae of CD40 activation in MM cells depends on p53 function, we identified temperature-sensitive p53 mutations in the RPMI 8226 (tsp53E285K) and the HS Sultan (tsp53Y163H) MM cell lines. These cells were then used as a model s...

The aim of this purpose was to compare injury mechanism in boys’ amateur epical athletes in Kyokushin, Karate and Aikido. 95 Aikido athletes, 83 Kyokushin ka athletes, 76 Karate ka were randomly selected from Shiraz clubs. Data were analyzed by Χ test. The results showed that the rate of injuries in Kyokoshin was (24.1%), Karate (19.5%) (X=448.46, P=0.000). In all three fields, there were injur...
