The p53 protein function is essential for the maintenance of the nontumorigenic cell phenotype. Pancreatic tumor cells show a very high frequency of p53 mutation. To determine if restoration of wild type p53 function can be used to eliminate the tumorigenic phenotype in these cells, pancreatic tumor cell lines, PANC-1 and HTB80, differing in p53 status were stably transfected with exogenous wil...

leishmania infantum, an etiologic agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (vl), is spreading in iran. dogs are the main reservoirs but l.infantum has been detected in jackals, foxes and wild rodents too. despite high number of rodents in the world, the exact role of them in epidemiology of vl is not clear. in recent years the number of sporadic cases of dogs and humans vl has been increased in...

this study was conducted at the gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm, iran, golestan province with about 600 mm annual rainfall in order to evaluate the effect of different sowing dates on azivash (corchorusolitorius) seed quality, using a randomized complete block design with three replications on 2013. treatments were four sowing dates such as may 5, jun 5, ju...

background: wild boars, sus scrofa , of wide distribution considered as a potential source of zoonotic parasites. the current study aimed to assess the prevalence of helminth infections in wild boars in the persian gulf coastal area (bushehr province), southwestern iran. methods: twenty-five wild boars, including 11 males and 14 females, were collected during a course of vertebrate pest control...

The attitude of policymakers and designers of green space is increasing toward to native-ornamental species to plant in the urban space because of their adaptation and resistance against severe weather and ecological conditions which can result in cost minimization and long-term survival in green spaces. Hence, the current study was carried out in the west of Mazandaran Province on three wild a...

wild cage birds can be carriers of some human pathogens and some of these can be transmitted to people. campylobacter bacteria are the most common bacteria that cause gastroenteritis worldwide. considering people's interests to keep wild cage birds and the potential ability of wild cage birds to transmit campylobacter to humans, the present study was conducted to evaluate campylobacter inf...

in order to investigate the tolerance of wild barley (hordeum spontaneum), wild oat (avena ludoviciana) and different wheat (triticum aestivum) cultivars to metribuzin (sencore®), a completely randomized design experiment was conducted in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the treatment were replicated three times and included wheat cultivars (atila, chamran, niknejad, dorum, gaskojen), weed speci...

to study the effects of applied nitrogen levels and wild mustard densities on the growth of wheat and wild mustard, a field experiment was conducted at re-search and experimental field of islamic azad university of ahvaz-iran. the effects of three nitrogen levels namely 90, 150 and 210 kg.ha-1 and four wild mustard densities such as 0, 5, 10 and 15 plants.m-2 were evaluated in split plot arrang...
