In this work, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were modified in a circulating fluidized bed through argon and hydrogen (Ar–H) alternating-current (AC) arc plasma, which shows the characteristics of nonequilibrium equilibrium plasma at same time. addition, with two jets was used for cyclic processing. The catalytic degradation performance on Rhodamine B (Rh B) by Ar–H plasma-modified ZnO pure test...

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a potential anticancer therapy. CAP has cytotoxic effects when applied either directly to cancer cell cultures or indirectly through plasma-conditioned liquids. This protocol describes how treat adherent of human lines with medium and determine viability following treatment. The also includes details on quantify the reactive oxygen nitrogen species present in tr...

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a key role in blood pressure (BP) regulation and is the target of several antihypertensive medications. Renal denervation (RDN) thought to interrupt sympathetic-mediated neurohormonal pathway as part its mechanism action reduce BP. purpose this study was evaluate plasma renin activity (PRA) aldosterone before after RDN assess whether these baseline...

phospholipase a1 is known as an effective catalyst for hydrolysis of various phospholipids in enzymatic vegetable oil degumming. immobilization is one of the most efficient strategies to improve its activity, recovery and functional properties. in this study, chitosan-co-polyethylene oxide (90:10) nanofibrous mat was successfully fabricated and modified with atmospheric plasma at different time...

The present study was conducted to find the effect of three heavy metals, Ag, Hg and Pb on the expression level of a gene encoding plasma membrane H+-ATPase in Aeluropus littoralis. The experiment was laid out in a completely random design with three replications. The expression of the main gene was normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene actin. Two 259 and 187 bp fragments were a...

in the current study, the effects of ethanol (etoh) on toxicokinetics of methamphetamine (ma) and its metabolite amphetamine (ap) were investigated. a single dose of ma hydrochloride at 15 mg/kg was given intragastrically, either alone (ma group; n = 8) or in conjunction with 3 g/kg etoh (ma+etoh group; n = 8) to rabbits. in placebo group, normal saline only was given (placebo group; n = 4). pl...

The pharmacokinetics of cefpirome after a single intravenous injection of 10 mg.kg -1 was studied in febrile cross-bred calves. E. coli endotoxin was administered intravenously to induce fever in calves. Blood samples were collected at different time intervals and cefpirome levels were estimated by using microbiological assay technique. Based on the plasma drug levels, the pharmacokinetic pa...

To explore the regulation of the acute phase response in vivo, the effects of pentoxifylline (PX) treatment (100 mg/kg ip 1 h before infection) were investigated in infected and pair-fed rats 2 and 6 days after an intravenous injection of live bacteria ( Escherichia coli). PX treatment prevented the increase in plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (peak 1.5 h after the infection) and resulted i...

background: treatment regimens for the eradication of h. pylori as suggested in western studies may not be applicable for iran. herein, we conduct a systematic review to ascertain the efficacy of eradication therapy regimens used for iranian patients and introduce the more successful treatment regimens for iranians. materials and methods: this review was a comprehensive search of english and fa...
