Objective(s): Increased levels of nitric oxide (NO) in the testicular veins of people suffering from varicocele have already been reported. However, the role of NO-synthase (NOS) isozymes and their inhibitors have not been extensively studied. We aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of aminoguanidine (AG), on sperm motility, vitality, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in varicoceli...

The growth of Ag-nanofilaments in the solid electrolyte films memristors based on Ag30S2P14O42 is investigated. After formation electrolyte, memory cells are switched to high conductive state. With a positive voltage applied Ag electrode cells, gradually become thicker due reduction and diffusion Ag+ cations electrolyte. relationship between thickening rate concentration surrounding them analyz...

hepatitis b vaccination is safe and effective, although breakthrough infection occasionally occurs in those who receive the vaccine and hepatitis b immunoglobulin (hbig) prophylaxis. sequence variation in their antigenic regions is one of the most powerful strategies that are used by viruses to escape recognition by b and t cell-mediated immune responses. the aim of this study was to explore th...

background: tuberculosis (tb) remains an important health problem throughout the world. despite its significance in public health, mechanisms of protective immunity against mycobacyerium tuberculosis in humans have not yet been understood. objective: to evaluate cell mediated immune response against purified ag 85, ppd and phytohemagglutinin (pha) in patients with tuberculosis and healthy tuber...

AIM Helicobacter pylori (HP) has been implicated as a risk factor for cardiovascular and atherosclerotic diseases. Arterial stiffness determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV) or the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) has been shown to be higher in HP-positive subjects than in HP-negative subjects; however, this result has been observed only in young subjects. The aim of the study was to investig...

Background Pathogenic bacteria have always been a significant threat to human health. The detection of pathogens needs to be rapid, accurate, and convenient. Methods We present a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor based on the combination of vancomycin-modified Ag-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Ag-Van MNPs) and Au@Ag nanoparticles (NPs) that can effectively cap...

 In this paper, a novel ternary nanocomposite namely reduced graphene oxide/hydroxyapatite/silver (rGO/HAP/Ag) was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method using graphene oxide nanosheets, Ca(NO3)2, (NH4)2HPO4, and AgNO3 as starting materials. The as-prepared nanocomposite was characterized by using various photophysical techniqu...
