The perimeters of the Oued-Souf region are irrigated by salty water coming from phreatic and thus progressive salinization soil occurs. This study aims at a qualitative analysis evolution salinity in soils pivot irrigation for several years. For this, three plots were pivots each agricultural region. choice these 3 is justified number years their cultivation: plot 1 has been cultivated 2 (2016–...

Although it is beyond doubt that mammary cells accumulate iodide via a Na+-dependent transport mechanism, it is not clear if this is the only pathway for iodide transport in mammary tissue. In view of this, experiments were designed to test for the presence of an anion-exchange pathway which could mediate the transport of iodide into mammary cells; thus, the effect of external iodide on sulfate...

Dysfunction of gut immune regulation is involved in mucosal damage in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, there is still no efficacious immune-regulator for the treatment of IBD. Alloferon is a novel immune-modulatory peptide that was originally isolated from infected insects. It shows anti-inflammatory effects by the regulation of cytokine production by immune cells and their activities...

Peripheral venous catheterization is a frequently required basic procedure in hospital care. However, scientific consideration of the keys for successful catheterization has been inadequate. According to previous reports, the general success rate of peripheral venous catheterization is 74% to 88% [1]. Two nonrandomized controlled trials have implied that the larger the veins are, the easier the...

The mass production and application of chemicals in different areas of plant and animal sciences cause a serious contamination to the immediate environment. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) is also known as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and commonly used in household, kitchen and laundry uses as a detergent ingredient and others. The description of SDS is important because it is now entered into the ...

The renal transport and fractional reabsorption of inorganic sulfate is altered under conditions of sulfate deficiency or excess. The objective of this study was to examine the cellular mechanisms of adaptation of renal sodium/sulfate cotransport after varying dietary intakes of a sulfur containing amino acid, methionine. Female Lewis rats were divided into four groups and fed diets containing ...

The effect of 3 protective creams and petrolatum was tested in a repetitive irritation test. On 15 healthy volunteers, the irritants (sodium lauryl sulfate 10%, sodium hydroxide 0.5%, lactic acid 15%, and toluene undiluted) were applied on the paravertebral skin of the mid-back after 30 min pretreatment with the products tested. The volunteers were treated for 9 days. The irritant cutaneous rea...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of variables in a flotation technique for the recovery of Toxocara canis eggs from soil. The trials were done under standardized conditions on one gram of previously sterilized soil samples contaminated with 200 eggs of T. canis. The following variables were evaluated in serial steps: sieving; type of wash; time of stirring; resuspension o...
