this study was carried out to control johne’s disease (jd) without interfering with tuberculosis (tb)control programme. a dairy herd (n>1500 heads) was used over a period of 6 years, from 1994 to 1999 forthis investigation. the herd had a history of heavy infection with mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis(map) with culling rates of 1.5 and 5%, in 1991 and 1995, respectively. the mean annual lo...

background toxoplasmosis is a widespread disease in humans and many other species of warm-blooded animals. among livestock animals, sheep and goat are more widely infected by toxoplasma gondii. this parasite is a major cause of abortion, with significant economic losses for sheep and goat breeders. objectives the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) method was employed to detect of the t. gondii dna...

Dysregulated microRNA (miR)-625 expression has been observed in several kinds of cancer. MicroRNAs are important factors in the development and progression of malignant melanoma, though the clinical significance and function of miR-625 in human malignant melanoma remain unclear. Levels of miR-625 expression were therefore determined in 36 pairs of malignant melanoma and adjacent non-tumor tissu...

purpose: risk factors of pelvic inflammatory disease can be different in different countries because of different sexual behaviors and religious restrictions. this study investigated the risk factors of this disease in iranian women in tehran. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional, descriptive study 1104 women with pelvic inflammatory disease were assessed from may 2010 to march 2011. ...

conclusions health managers in iran should continuously monitor the coverage of vaccination with at least three doses of opv in the level of over 95%, monitor the health of the helmand river water which comes from afghanistan to iran, vaccinate the immigrants and replace bivalent vaccine (bopv) with trivalent (topv) vaccine. context the wild polio virus is disrupted in all countries in the worl...

Guided by the digital design concepts, we synthesized a two-module molecular demultiplexer (DEMUX) where the output is switched between emission at near IR, and cytotoxic singlet oxygen, with light at 625 nm as the input (I), and acid as the control (c). In the neutral form, the compound fluoresces brightly under excitation at 625 nm, however, acid addition moves the absorption bands of the two...

In 1985 Brinster et al. [1] observed that linearized DNA injected in the cytoplasm of mouse zygotes underwent spontaneous supercoiling within 24 h. This finding suggests that DNA prefers and functions best in tertiary structure. In an effort to improve the efficiency of transgenesis by cytoplasmic injection, DNA was condensed with MgCl2 to form a three dimensional rod-shaped DNA prior to inject...
