scape bending disorder is the most important factor affecting postharvest loss of gerbera cut flowers. one of the ultimate reasons for gerbera stem bending is lignin, with deformation structural functions and defensive mechanisms. this postharvest experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (pal) and peroxidase (pod) enzymes activity in stem bending of two gerbe...

Objectives Bee pollen (BP) contains isoflavonoids and minerals that can be effective in bone repair, stimulation of osteoprogenitors, differentiation osteoblasts, inhibition osteoclasts. For this purpose, the present study, BP was used to stimulate osteogenesis an animal model a femur fracture. Materials Methods After induction fracture model, 80 Wistar rats eight groups ( n = 10) were studied ...

introduction: one of the main mechanisms by which diabetic complications occur is an alteration of the structure and function of proteins due to hyperglycemia. aspirin (asa) affects cellular pathways through different mechanisms, including glycation inhibition and antioxidant activity. the aim of the present study, as a follow up to our previous one, is to investigate the effect of long-term, h...

The appearance of enzymic activity during the development of the Golgi apparatus was studied by cytochemical staining of renucleated amoebae. In cells enucleated for 4 days, there was a great decline in size and number of Golgi bodies, or dictyosomes. Subsequent renucleation by nuclear transplantation resulted in a regeneration of Golgi bodies. Samples of amoebae were fixed and incubated for cy...

conclusions the determination of warfarin dose, based on genotyping, might reduce the time to achieve stable anticoagulation of warfarin dose and length of hospital stay. patients and methods in this prospective cohort study, 200 pediatric patients, who required warfarin therapy after cardiac surgery, were enrolled and divided into two groups. for 50 cases, warfarin was prescribed based on thei...

the aim of this article is to present a new technique of giant omphaloceles repair in neonatal period and also later in life in patients that the primary repair has been failed. from 1999 to 2006, seven consecutive children (male/female ratio 0.4) with giant omphalocele (n=6) and gastroschesis (n=2) were underwent this new operation in our center. in this technique, there were two operations. t...

Objective: Exercise and herbs can possess synergistic effects to control diabetes side-effects. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and curcumin supplement on activity levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase of heart tissue in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divi...
