conclusions contrast-agent-induced nephropathic changes are more closely related to the magnitude of lipid peroxidation than protein oxidation. results compared with the control group, groups cin and n + cin had significantly higher urea and lhp levels (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively) and significantly lower cu, zn-sod activity and creatinine clearance (p < 0.05). there was no statistical...

  Background: Ultrasmallsuperparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles are used as blood pool contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography and perfusion imaging. Our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of the two coating types of iron oxide nanoparticles on the relationship between nanoparticles concentration and signal intensity (SI) in T1-weighted MR images.   Methods : D...

Background: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provides functional information on the microcirculation in tissues by analyzing the enhancement kinetics which can be used as biomarkers for prostate lesions detection and characterization.Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of tumors by extracting semi-quantitative as well as w...

Software Process Simulation Modeling (SPSM) research has increased in the past two decades, especially since the first ProSim Workshop held in 1998. Our research aims to systematically assess how SPSM has evolved during the past 10 years in particular whether the purposes for SPSM, the simulation paradigms, tools, research topics, and the model scopes and outputs have changed. We performed a sy...

quality and quantity of ovum are major determinants in invitro fertilization. the aim of the present study was to determine effect of the time of oocyte collection and also distance of hcg injection to oviduct flushing on the quantity, quality and fertilizing ability of rabbit oocyte. accordingly, sixty two adult female rabbit selected and randomly allocated to seven groups. the rabbits were su...

In recent work, thermal energy gaps. AE, it °PUPS gas, Ana; Gibbs free energy gaps, AG.,, between singlet(s) and triplet 0) states of 5.12C3H2C, I m (4 N. P. As and Sb) were calculated and compared with thoseanalogues. MC2113C, (M= CIL N. P. As and Sb) at B3LYIE6-311-NG" level of theory. Our itself showedthat Gibbs free energy gaps. AG, for l uu and 1 p are less than IS and I's, respectively. I...
