Background: The relationship between periodontal diseases in pregnancy and children born prematurely or with low birth weight has been increasingly investigated, showing positive and negative results, respectively. Objective: To evaluate the association between Maternal Periodontitis and Preterm delivery or Low Birth Weight. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 60 pregnant women w...

To assess the interaction between stress and energy homeostasis, we immobilized male Sprague-Dawley rats prone to diet-induced obesity (DIO) or diet resistance (DR) once for 20 min and then fed them either low-fat (4.5%) chow or a medium-fat (31%), high-energy (HE) diet for 9 days. Stressed, chow-fed DIO rats gained less, while stressed DIO rats on HE diet gained more body weight and had higher...

In this study, it was carried out to determine some vegetative characteristics and yield of 30 lines M4 plants which different mutagens were applied. As a mutagen, 120 Gy gamma rays 40 Mm Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS), humidification neem oil applications among the trial subjects. Features such as pod length width, weight, plant height, stem diameter, number pods, grains per grain weight invest...

This study aims to determine the effect of pre-emergence application herbicide metsulfuron methyl on soil mixed with rice husk biochar germination weeds. used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) two levels (0 gr/ha and 300 gr/ha) four (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% total weight planting medium). The parameters observed were number weeds, wet dry results showed that interaction had no significant ...

This study tested the hypothesis that oocyte-derived paracrine factors (ODPFs) regulate miRNA expression in mouse granulosa cells. Expression of mmu-miR-322-5p (miR-322) was higher in mural granulosa cells (MGCs) than in cumulus cells of the Graafian follicles. The expression levels of miR-322 decreased when cumulus cells or MGCs were co-cultured with oocytes denuded of their cumulus cells. Inh...

Linear codes over finite rings become one of hot topics in coding theory after Hommons et al.([4], 1994) discovered that several remarkable nonlinear binary codes with some linear-like properties are the images of Gray map of linear codes over Z4. In this paper we consider two series of linear codes C(G) and C̃(G) over Galois ring R = GR(p2,r), where G is a subgroup of R(s) ∗ and R(s) = GR(p2,rs...

The inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) consistency test checks the of final mass and spin a binary black hole merger remnant, independently inferred via inspiral merger-ringdown parts waveform. As binaries are expected to be nearly circularized when entering frequency band ground-based detectors, tests general relativity (GR) currently employ quasicircular waveforms. We quantify effect residual orb...
