introduction: mineral trioxide aggregate is being widely used for root end filling, pulp capping, perforation repair, and other endodontic procedures. recently, a material similar to proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (pmta) was developed in iran named root mineral trioxide aggregate (rmta) with the claim of having the exact result of original mta. the purpose of this study was to compare the a...

dendritic cells (dcs) induce pathogen-specific t cell responses. we comprehensively studied the effects of addition of maturation stimulus, fibroblasts (fibroblast conditioned medium), pha activated t cells (t cell conditioned medium), and mixture of fibroblast & pha activated t cells (fcm-tccm) conditioned media on maturation of dcs. monocytes were cultured with gm-csf and il-4 for five da...

The aim of this study was to transform human hair keratin waste into a scaffold for soft tissue engineering heal wounds. extracted using the Shindai method. Keratin and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cross-linked with alginate dialdehyde converted by freeze-drying method gentamycin sulphate (GS) as model drug. subjected Fourier infrared spectra (FTIR), swelling index, porosity, water absorption, scann...

Given its many potential applications, cashew gum hydrophobic derivatives have gained increasing attraction in recent years. We report here the effect of acyl chain length on hydrophobized derivatives, using acetic, propionic, and butyric anhydrides self-assembly nanoparticle properties amphotericin B delivery. Nanoparticles with unimodal particle size distribution, highly negative zeta potenti...

The murine pre-B cell-specific genes VpreB and lambda 5, as well as the murine gene for mu heavy chain, were introduced into Ltk- fibroblast cells which normally do not express these genes. Stable transfectants carrying these genes produced the corresponding proteins of 15.5, 21.5, and 75 kD. They secreted the three proteins as a triple complex that could be immunoprecipitated by mu heavy chain...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) induced autophagy affects virus replication and survival of the infected cells. The purpose this study was to investigate role inhibition by 3-methyladenine (3-MA) on murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) whether it is associated with caspase-3 dependent apoptosis. eyecup isolated from adult C57BL/6J mice (6–8 weeks old) mouse embryo fibroblast cells (MEFs) were MCMV K181 strain, ...
