luteolin, as a natural polyphenolic compound, has neuroprotective effect and exerts its function by attenuation of apoptosis and oxidative stress factors. emerging evidences indicate that oxidative stress leads to neurodegeneration but is not the initial event and endoplasmic reticulum stress (er) is often considered to be the stimulus event which is caused by accumulating of misfolded proteins...

Background &Objectives;: Evaluation of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) Her-2 on core needle biopsies (CNBs) is increasingly in use to diagnosis early breast cancer, but its concordance with surgical excision (SE) is not well documented. Methods: The study ...

Background and Aim: Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation has been suggested as an effective method of cavity preparation and surface treatment to enhance the bond strength. The aim of this study was to assess the microshear bond strength of Fuji II LC glass ionomer (GI) cement to primary dentin following bur preparation and Er,Cr:YSGG irradiation. Materials and Methods: This in vitro, experimental stu...

The aim of this research is to develop new mordants and a wide range of colors for natural dyeing of silk. In this study, two new erbium(ΙΙΙ) complexes, [Er(AO)(H2O)7](OAc)3 and [Er(AMH)(H2O)6](OAc)3 (AO = acridine orange, AMH = azomethine-H, and OAc = acetate anion), were synthesized, characterized and used as a mordant for the natural dyeing of silk yarns with an aqueous extract of green waln...

introduction: this study investigated the influence of erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser on microhardness, chemical composition and subsurface morphology of dentin cavity walls. methods: forty sound human premolars were selected and randomly assigned into four groups. class v cavities were prepared either with an er:yag laser (groups 1 and 2; 15 hz, 250 mj for enamel, 10 hz, 2...

introduction: this study aimed to assess the scanning electron microscope (sem) analysis of tooth surface irradiated by erbium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet (er:yag) laser with various parameters. methods: number of 25 extracted human third molars free of caries were used in this study. the teeth were put into 5 groups for laser irradiation as follows: group 1 (power: 0.5 w, energy: 50 mj); group 2 (...
