the abscission of alstroemeria petals is the serious problem at the industry of cut flowers of this plant. in this study, cut alstroemeria cv. bridal flowers were pulsed with solutions containing natural essential oil carvacrol, gibberellic acid and benzyladenine (50 and 100 mg l-1), -5-sulfosalicylic acid (1 and 1.5 mm) and sucrose (5 and 10%) for 24 hours. the distilled water was used as cont...

background: in order to diagnose the site of thrombi, radiolabeled streptokinase can be prepared. the radiolabeled compound can be used in imaging of thrombi in many cardiovascular diseases. materials and methods: streptokinase was successively labeled with [67ga]-gallium chloride using cyclic dtpa-dianhydride. the conjugation with dtpa was optimized for concentration, time and temperature foll...

cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment, overall survival of patients still remains poor. hence, there is an urgent need for development of new anticancer agents. considering promising biological activity of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives, in the present study, synthesis and cytotoxicity assessment of new derivatives of this ring ...

this study investigated the association between hsv-1 infection and atopy by comparing seropositivity to hsv-1 in atopic children with asthma and allergic rhinitis and in non-atopic children. totally 249 children randomly selected from the university outpatient pediatric clinics were prospectively enrolled in the study between september 1 and november 30, 2007. serum samples were examined using...

objective(s): htlvi-1 is the first human retrovirus with limited endemic regions in the world. the epidemiological studies have shown that the genetic background and immune response to the virus have a significant role in htlv-i-associated diseases.  among the genes are involved in htlv-i infection, the role of human leukocytes antigen (hla) have been studied in different population. in the pre...

the recognition of the biologically and environmentally important ions is of great interest in the field of chemical sensors in recent years. the fluorescent sensors as a powerful optical analytical technique for the detection of low level of various analytes such as anions and metal cations have been progressively developed due to the simplicity, cost effective, and selectivity for monitoring ...

background and purpose:   methods:   results:   conclusion:

1,5-benzodiazepines are regarded as one of the most important classes of heterocyclic compounds as privileged structures and have vast range of applications in the field of medicine and chemistry. they are therefore attractive synthetic targets for organic and medicinal chemist. the current review article mainly covers the multicomponent green chemistry approaches for the synthesis of 1,5-benzo...

background and aims:in neurodegenerative disorders,oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species is strongly associated with increased neuronal damages which can lead to apoptosis. pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic gene expressions are changed during the cell differentiation that affect cell viability and differentiation. therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effects of hyd...
