The chromosomal spread and karyotype of Bleak (Alburnus alburnus) from Anzali lagoon were identified using tissue squashing techniques with injection of 0.5ml/100g body weight of 0.01% Colchicines solution in fish fingerlings. Kidney and gill tissues were then extracted and chopped in KCl 0.045M for 20 min and fixed in Carnoy solution in 3 stages. The chromosomal spreads were stained in 20% Gim...

Chloride content is a critical problem for the reuse of fly ash as a raw material in cement, and the method used by recyclers to reduce the fly ash chloride content depends on the chemical form of the chlorides. However, limited information is available on the quantitative distribution of chlorides and the identity of some chlorides such as Friedel's salt. We examined chloride forms and percent...

BACKGROUND The cardiovascular benefits of Resveratrol (RVT) have been well established by previous experimental and clinical studies. AIMS The goal of this study was to test the effectiveness of RVT administration on the impaired endothelial function induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to elucidate the role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)/Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) pathway. STUDY DE...

it has been shown in some investigations that cardiovascular events are the main causes of death in hemodialysis patients. the exact etiology is unknown but some of the articles have reported a relation between aluminium ions in the dialysis solution and cardiovascular disorders. to determine the probable effect of aluminium on vasculature function, in vitro effects of aluminium ion on vasocons...

The methanol oxidation reaction is studied at the single nanoparticle scale under aqueous alkaline conditions. Upon impacting a potentiostated electrode and after ≤ 1 ms steady-state limited catalytic current induced to occur platinum (nominal diameter 50 nm); magnitude of close that seen for both larger arrays nanoparticles polycrystalline ‘bulk’ material suggesting entity activity preserved i...

abstract background and objective: vascular abnormality and dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular disease in diabetic state. in this study, we aimed to investigate whether an in vitro exposure of endothelium-intact aortic rings to melissa officinalis (lemon balm, mo) aqueous extract could have a beneficial effect in rats with subchronic diabetes. materials and meth...

Electrophysiological assessment of infraslow (<0.1 Hz) brain activities such as cortical spreading depression (SD), which occurs in a number of pathologies including migraine, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and brain ischemia requires direct current (DC) coupled recordings of local field potentials (LFPs). Here, we describe how DC-coupled recordings can be performed using high-density i...

BACKGROUND Treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is controversial. The objective of this study was to report our successful experience in the medical treatment of CSP with potassium chloride (KCl) and methotrexate. CASE This is a case series of six patients between 6-12 gestational weeks with the diagnosis of CSP. In five cases the fetus was alive and in one case, despite being at a gest...

Inclusions in mantle minerals and xenoliths from kimberlites worldwide derived depths exceeding 100 km vary composition alkali-rich saline to carbonatitic. Despite the wide distribution of these melts their geochemical importance as metasomatic agents that altered mineralogy geochemistry rocks, P-T range stability remains largely undefined. Here we report new experimental data on phase relation...
