objective: many species of plants present noticeable potency against human bacterial and fungal pathogens. materials and methods: in the current study, antimicrobial activity of the fresh fruits of 4 cultivars (a to d) of malus domestica cultivated in the qamsar area of kashan, iranwas investigated. the disk diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) evaluation antimicrobial activity ...

AIMS Knowledge of the distribution of the innervation zones (IZs) of the external anal sphincter (EAS) may be useful for preventing anal sphincter incompetence during vaginal delivery. A method proposed for the automatic estimation of the distribution of IZs of EAS from high-density surface electromyography (EMG) was evaluated for repeatability in continent volunteers. METHODS In 13 healthy f...

purpose : to investigate the penetration of cefixime and ciprofloxacin to the rabbit eye on the basis of microbial inhibition of aqueous and vitreous humour after oral administration. methods : in this experimental study, 36 rabbits (72 eyes) were randomly divided into two groups group a consisted of 20 rabbits and group b 16 rabbits. each group was divided into four equal subgroups. the rabbit...

The subject of a distributed RFID system with proximity-range read/write devices (RWD) is considered in this paper. Possible work scenarios were presented the scope industrial implementations and then tested dedicated laboratory set. development based on high-frequency RWD integrated Wi-Fi microcontroller unit to create an Internet things connected server (for data exchanging, user interface, e...

Introduction: During the late fetal period and early preterm period, the most prominent transient layer is the subplate (SP) zone, located between the immature cortex (cortical plate; CP) and the immature white matter (intermediate zone; IZ), which contains awaiting thalamo-cortical afferent fibers that cross one another [1-3]. The SP is especially thick in humans which develops around prenatal...

OBJECTIVE AND METHODS In this study, we investigated the effects of a PKA stimulating cocktail on sodium currents from normal epicardial cells (NZs) and on those from cells dispersed from the epicardial zone of the 5-day infarcted canine heart (IZs). To do so, we used whole-cell voltage-clamp techniques. RESULTS During superfusion with the PKA activator cocktail, peak sodium current (I(Na)) d...

PURPOSE Choroideremia is a progressive X-linked recessive dystrophy, characterized by degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), choroid, choriocapillaris, and photoreceptors. We examined photoreceptor structure in a series of subjects with choroideremia with particular attention to areas bordering atrophic lesions. METHODS Twelve males with clinically-diagnosed choroideremia and c...

Many crop plants are exposed to heavy metals and other metals that may intoxicate the crop plants themselves or consumers of the plants. The rhizotoxicity of heavy metals is influenced strongly by the root cell plasma membrane (PM) surface's electrical potential (ψ0). The usually negative ψ0 is created by negatively charged constituents of the PM. Cations in the rooting medium are attracted to ...

The conceptual design of the Electron-Ion Collider (EAR) is described in [1]. In order to fulfil the demanding requirements, especially for fission experiments at ELISe, the interaction zone (IZ) at the intersection of the EAR with the bypass section of the NESR has to be optimized. Nevertheless the already defined base parameters should remain unchanged: the working point νx = 4.2, νy = 3.2; t...

Cadherins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate cell-to-cell adhesion. A change in cadherin type in cells, i.e., cadherin switching, induces changes in the character of the cell. Recent studies of the developing rat adenohypophysis found that primordial cells co-expressed E- and N-cadherins, but that hormone-producing cells lost E-cadherin and ultimately possessed only N-cadh...
