Intravenous preadministration of somatostatin (Growth Hormone Inhibiting Factor: GIF) inhibited TRH-induced TSH release in rats anesthesized by pentobarbitulate. There was dose dependent negative interaction between the inhibitory effect of GIF and releasing effect of TRH. TSH releasing effect of small dose of TRH was inhibited completely by preadministration of GIF, while large dose of TRH ove...

Cutaneous fungal infections remain a clinical problem. Among fungi, dermatophyte molds are the major cause of various type of Tinea. These infections are still difficult to manage and some of the antifungal agent are poorly tolerated or have been associated with emergence of resistance. The traditional methods, especially the use of medicinal plants place an imperative role to cover the basic h...

Background: In recent years, drug resistance to human pathogenic fungi has been increased. Medicinal plants are one way to overcome antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal and inhibitory activity of five medicinal plants on the growth of Candida albicans. Methods: This study was done in the Microbiology Lab of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Iran in 2...

Initial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples obtained from patients with pneumococcal meningitis usually contain far greater numbers of bacteria than initial CSF samples obtained from patients with meningococcal meningitis. Normal CSF was found to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of group A meningococci but not on type 1 pneumococci. The inhibitory effect of normal CSF was abolished by dial...

The aim of this meta-analysis was to summarise data from neuropsychological studies on inhibitory control to general and disease-salient (i.e., food/eating, body/shape) stimuli in bulimic-type eating disorders (EDs). A systematic literature search was conducted to identify eligible experimental studies. The outcome measures studied included the performance on established inhibitory control task...

objective the standard of hygiene in daily life and hospitals can be increased by the use of new antimicrobial fibers, which diminish the danger of pathogenic bacteria. in this study, the antimicrobial effect of special fibers on some staphylococcus isolates was investigated. materials and methods the antimicrobial effect of special type of fibers produced in isfahan poly acryl plant on three s...

conclusions the kin gingival chlorhexidine mouthwash has a greater effect than behsa and boht mouthwashes on oral microorganisms and is recommended to be used for plaque chemical inhibition. results the mics for kin gingival, behsa and boht mouthwashes were 0.14, 0.48 and 1000 micrograms/ml using the tube method for s. mutans, respectively. the mbcs for the mentioned mouthwashes were 0.23, 1.9 ...
