Background and Objectives: According to recent research, olive leaf (OL) has demonstrated significant properties, including antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, gastro protective and cardio protective properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition, and fatty acid composition (FAC) of OL of Marry variety cultivated in Jiroft province of Iran. This study also attem...

The flocculated solid fraction of olive mill wastewaters, obtained from two different olive oil extraction systems (FOMW1 and FOMW2) was composted, with olive leaves (OL) as bulking agent, by the static pile system (Rutgers). The dynamic of organic matter (OM) degradation during composting and its relationship with the basal respiration and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolytic activity, as in...

Background: Several studies have suggested that online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) may reduce the risk of mortality and improve quality life these patients compared with standard hemodialysis. Methods: Forty stable out on dialysis (20 hemodialysis 20 hemodiafiltration) above age 18 years vintage more than 3 months were followed up for months. Clinical, biochemical parameters along SF-36 score at...

δ-Cadinene synthase is a sesquiterpene cyclase that utilises the universal achiral precursor farnesyl diphosphate (FDP) to generate predominantly the bicyclic sesquiterpene δ-cadinene and about 2 % germacradien-4-ol, which is also generated from FDP by the cyclase germacradien-4-ol synthase. Herein, the mechanism by which sesquiterpene synthases discriminate between deprotonation and reaction w...

The nonlinear optical properties and the role of the surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) on optical limiting (OL) properties of Ag–Cu nanoclusters co-doped in SiO2 matrix prepared using the sol-gel technique with a Cu/Ag molar ratio of 1, 2 and 3, respectively, are presented. The studies were made using the second harmonic of high-power nanosecond and picosecond Nd:YAG lasers. These films show a se...

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC), neurons and astrocytes share a neural progenitor cell (NPC) in the early ventricular zone (VZ) of the embryonic neuroepithelium. Both switch to produce either of the three cell types and the generation of the right number of them undergo complex genetic regulation. The components of these regulatory cascades vary between brain regions giving rise to the un...

CONTEXT Oral leukoplakia (OL) is a well-recognized precancerous lesion with various etiological factors. Most commonly deleterious oral habits such as tobacco smoking and viral etiologies mainly human papillomavirus (HPV) play an important role. p53 polymorphisms mostly homozygous Arginine (Arg) allele has a greater risk of degradation by HPV. Hence, HPV infection and p53 polymorphisms may act ...

Experiments were conducted to explore the use of a semiochemical bait to enhance exposure of Amblyomma variegatum Fabricius (Acari: Ixodidae) to different formulations of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales). Initially, the relative efficacies of attraction-aggregation-attachment pheromone (AAAP), made up of o-nitrophenol, methyl salicyla...
