in order to study the yield and forage quality of intercropping barley (hordeum vulgare) and mustard (sinapis alba) in different planting dates, a factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with three replications was carried out at farm research station, gonbad -e- qabus university. factors were included as three planting dates (15 november, 6 and 20 december 2006) and fo...

We searched for evidence for a contribution of stem cells in growth of the proximal S3 segments of healthy rats. According to the stem cell model, stem cells are undifferentiated and slow cycling; the bulk of cycling cells are transit amplifying, rapidly cycling cells. We show the following. 1) By continuous application of a thymidine analog (ThA) for 7 days, S3 proximal epithelial cells in hea...

PURPOSE Periprosthetic infection is one of the main reasons for revision surgery after hip arthroplasty. The purpose of the present study is to compare the reliability of triple-phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) in the diagnosis of periprosthetic infection between cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) and bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA). METHODS In this retrospective study, 52 patients were ana...

Cross-reactive antibody responses of 3 trivalent, live attenuated intranasal influenza vaccine (FluMist) formulations containing 3 different H1N1 strains (A/Texas/36/91, A/Shenzhen/227/95, and A/Beijing/262/95) were evaluated in initially seronegative children. FluMist containing A/Shenzhen/227/95 was more likely to induce cross-reactive hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody against A/Texa...

Various ompF-ompC, ompC-ompF, and ompF-ompC-ompF chimeric genes were used to locate the domains of the OmpF protein involved in cellular sensitivity to colicins. Various parts of the porin participate in the entry of colicins. Colicin N receptor activity was found to require three regions: RN1, located between residues 1 and 63; RN2, located between residues 115 and 262; and RN3, located betwee...

BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an increasingly common procedure among elderly individuals. Although conversion THA is currently bundled in a diagnosis related group (DRG) with primary THA, no study has identified whether patients undergoing conversion THA better resemble patients undergoing primary THA or revision THA. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Impro...

We compared differences in isometric strength between older adults who have undergone elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and completed rehabilitation with a population of community-dwelling older adults who have not had THA. The study was a cross-sectional design, and 22 unilateral THA subjects and 38 community-dwelling older adults participated. THA subjects received on average 1...

Tetracosahexaenoic acid (THA, 24:6n-3) has been shown to have the strongest ability to suppress accumulation of lipids in HepG2 cells among well-known n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA. In this study, a method for mass production of THA was investigated using distributions of THA and DHA in thirty-two marine organisms, such as starfishes, right-eyed flounders, shellfishes,...

(1) Background: Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and resurfacing (HRA) was presumed to provide superior functional outcomes compared metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) THA. (2) Methods: We muscle mass, power, step test asymmetry, patient-reported between MoM THA/HRA MoP A of 51 THA/HRAs 23 THAs participated in the cross-sectional study at a mean 6.5 (2.4–12.5) years postoperatively. M...

data related to holstein dairy cattle from 1987 to 2004 were obtained from animal breeding center of iran to estimate the genetic and phenotypic trends. variance components and genetic parameters of the first lactation records were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood method and aireml algorithm through matvec program. animal breeding values were predicted through multiple-trait animal...
