abstract        background and objective: paratuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous enteritis of ruminants caused by mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (map). this study aimed to characterize the genome of the map 316f strain.       methods: the map 316f strain was subjected to the pcr-f57 and pcr-is900 experiments in order to ensure its identity as map. this was followed by appl...

introduction: formocresol is widely used in primary teeth pulpotomies; however it is known to have several side effects. the purpose of this study was to assess pulpal changes of primary teeth pulps after pulpotomy with sodium hypochlorite and formocresol. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 22 teeth were selected. these teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups (formocres...

nima yooshij applied various techniques in order to describe diverse poetic subjects. this research deals with analysing the usage of these expressive techniques from two perspectives - poetic and structural. nima applied structural expressive techniques more often than poetic expressive techniques in order to describe various poetic subjects. these techniques include adjectives, adverbs, adjec...

background: implantation failure of blastocyst is one of the main reasons of failure to become pregnancy following use of assisted reproductive techniques. hla-g, one of the non-classic hla subtypes, seems to have a vital role in neutralizing of mother immune system. according to importance of ins/del polymorphism of hla-g in regulation of hla-g expression, it seems that this polymorphism has a...

various molecular techniques are available to make differences and to study the genetic divergences among species and populations, of which the most efficient ones are pcr-based markers. one of these methods, molecular fingerprinting, enables the distinction of closely related populations. issr-primers are universal primers that can be used for such studies. the utility of these primers was tes...

we present a case of infantile intussusception treated successfully using hydrostatic reduction, highlighting the importance of non-surgical techniques as the first line of management for this entity. physicians should strive for mastery over such techniques by extensive training to prevent unwanted surgical procedures in such cases.

conclusions our underlying hypothesis is that recapitulating the three-dimensional early embryonic structure, in order to reproduce better in vitro the three-dimensional morphogenetic-like re-arrangements, would improve cells differentiation, when in vivo transplanted; moreover, it could be used as a simplified cancer disease model and reliable drug evaluation method as well. results the proces...
