In this study a trial was performed to determine the effect of a combination of two aqueous extracts of two medicinal plants namely the violet, Viola odorata, and the rue, Ruta graveolens, with concentrations of 0.15625, 0.3125, 10-20 mg/cm3 on the growth of Trichomonas vaginalis cultured in (CM161) medium during periods of 24, 48, 72, and 96 hrs. The results showed that there is a variation of...

Soil moisture (SM) retrieval from SMOS (the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission) and SMAP (the Soil Moisture Active/Passive mission) passive microwave data over forested areas with required accuracy is of great significance and poses some challenges. In this paper, we used Ground Wireless Sensor Network (GWSN) SM measurements from 9 September to 5 November 2015 to validate SMOS and SMAP Le...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulatory molecules involved in a variety of biological processes and human diseases. However, the pathological effects of lncRNAs on primary varicose great saphenous veins (GSVs) remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to identify aberrantly expressed lncRNAs involved in the prevalence of GSV varicosities and predict their potential function...

BACKGROUND The size and number of tumors are important prognostic indicators for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it is difficult to assess the prognosis for patients with a variable number and size of tumors. By combining these two factors, we investigated the role and prognostic accuracy of total tumor volume (TTV) for HCC. METHODS A total of 786 patients undergoing locoregional the...
