Lilium species with ornamental, edible, and medicinal values are distributed all over the world. Little is known about responses of genotypes to waterlogging stress. hybrid 'Brindisi' was used study physiological roots, bulbs, leaves 1, 2, 4, 8, 13 d Results showed that stress seriously hindered transport nutrients from bulbs stems leaves. The indicators could be divided into two categories. fi...

The aim of the study was to isolate genes coding for stage-specific antigens of T. spiralis. Such antigens may then be associated with local and systemic immune responses against adult T. spiralis. Recombinant clones were obtained with an adult stage specific probe from a cDNA library of three-day old adult T. spiralis. Several cDNA clones encoding the same peptide were identified and their sta...

Background and objective: Chronic kidney disease represents a leading cause of death in many countries. End-stage renal is the final stage chronic disease, which kidneys are no longer function well enough for patient to live without replacement therapy. Galectin-3 soluble beta-galactoside-binding lectin protein involved fibrosis solid organs, including heart kidney. This study aimed evaluate ga...

ANG II increases fluid absorption in proximal tubules from young rats more than those from adult rats. ANG II increases fluid absorption in the proximal nephron, in part, via activation of protein kinase C (PKC). However, it is unclear how age-related changes in ANG II-induced stimulation of the PKC cascade differ as an animal matures. We hypothesized that the response of the proximal nephron t...

background and objectives: the linear epitopes of gp46-i, gp46-ii, gp21 and p19 are used in diagnosis of htlv-i/-ii infections. the aims of this study was to obtain high-level expression and purification of recombinant antigen (ra) containing these epitopes. large-scale preparation of such antigen probably worths for diagnostic purpose. materials and methods: the synthetic dna encoding ra was s...

pollen, honey, larvae, pupa and adult honey bees were collected from apiaries in taleghan, karadj region to assess the fungal infections.  several larvae were found in culture media of digestive system of adult bees and pollen through the experiment.  the larvae then were incubated to grow up and reach to the adult stage. morphological and systematic studies on samples of larvae and adults reve...

A multiplexed biomarker bundle consisting of nine different inflammation markers was evaluated regarding their diagnostic and prognostic performances in 159 adult systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) patients enrolled at the emergency department. Fibronectin, interleukin-8 (IL-8), biotin, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were the most robust markers but were not s...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor that is functional in the survival, maintenance and differentiation of nervous system cells. This protein has three subunits, of which the beta subunit has the main activity. Its structure consists of a cysteine knot motif made up of beta strands linked by disulfide bonds. It can be used as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of many diseases....
