intravenous chemotherapy is an important mean for the treatment of cancers. infusion phlebitis (ph) is a common and acute complication of chemotherapy. the frequency of ph is about 70% in patients undergoing chemotherapeutic management. it can induce the pain, increase the risk of thrombophlebitis, lead to incomplete follow-up, and thereby, affect the patient’s health status. respecting the gre...

in most region of khorasan, sesame ecotypes have been planted for many years, but there is little information about seed yield and yield components of them. therefore a field experimental was conducted to investigation of yield parameters of 14 sesame ecotypes (msc1, msc2, msc3, msc4, msc5, msc6, msc7, msc8, msc9, msc10, msc11, msc12, msc13 and msc14) in randomized complete block design with th...

We compared the physiological activities of sesame seeds rich in lignans from three varieties (Gomazou, Maruhime and Maruemon), and those from a conventional cultivar (Masekin) in rats. The sum of the values of fat-soluble lignans (sesamin and sesamolin) in seeds of Gomazou, Maruhime and Maruemon varieties was approximately double the value in Masekin. Seeds from Maruemon contained fat-soluble ...

The magic phrase “Open, sesame!” from the famous Arabian story, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, is familiar and popular worldwide, and may have originated from the sudden opening of the sesame capsule to spread seeds. Sesame seeds and their oil have been utilized as an important foodstuff for thousands of years. They are regarded as healthy food and widely used for their distinct taste and flav...

background: diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats. methods: forty male alb...

salinity of water and soil in arid and semi arid regions restricts the growth and yield of crops such as sesame. in order to evaluate yield and yield components of 43 lines and ecotypes of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) under saline condition (ec of irrigation water, 5.2 ds m-1) an experiment was carried out in randomize complete block design with three replications at salinity research station of...

Oleosins are structural proteins sheltering the oil bodies of plant seeds. Two isoform classes termed H- and L-oleosin are present in diverse angiosperms. Two H-oleosins and one L-oleosin were identified in sesame oil bodies from the protein sequences deduced from their corresponding cDNA clones. Sequence analysis showed that the main difference between the H- and L-isoforms is an insertion of ...

A semi-automatic method for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in edible oils using a combined gel permeation chromatography/solid-phase extraction (GPC/SPE) clean-up is presented. The method takes advantage of automatic injections using a Gilson ASPEC XL sample handling system equipped with a GPC column (S-X3) and pre-packed silica SPE columns for the subsequent clean...

A total of 33 sesame genotypes including three checks were grown in Randomized Block Design replications for evaluation yield and attributing traits. Data was recorded different traits from all the viz., days to 50 % flowering, number productive branches, plant height, height 1st capsule bearing node, capsules per plant, seeds capsule, length, inter-node maturity, 1000-grain weight, cent oil yi...
