a total of 116 marine fishes and sediments were collected from persian gulf shore near bushehr in order to isolate vibrio species. after culturing on thiosulphate- cirate- bile salts- sucrose and with biochemical tests, 30 isolates showed vibrio characteristics which were categorized in 7 vibrio species, v. anguillarum, v. alginalyticus, v. harveyi, v. vulnfiicus, v. ordalii, v. carchariae and ...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of 0.5% hydrogen peroxide H2O2 and levamizole drug on immune response of adult male rabbits. Twenty four mature male newzeland were randomly divided into two groups and were treated as follow for four weeks: Control group(C) and H2O2 treated group (GI) which were daily intubated with 0.5% H2O2 in drinking water. After cessation of H2O2 intubati...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Aging and malnutrition are known to influence immune functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of aging and malnutrition to innate immune functions in tube-fed bedridden patients. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional survey was performed in 71 tube-fed bedridden patients aged 50-95 years (mean age±SD, 80.2±8.5 years) with serum albumi...

In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the mature granulocytes originate from a stem cell line harboring an abnormal chromosome, therefore it is possible that metabolic-functional abnormalities occur in the morphologically mature cells. In the present study, the phagocytic activity including intracellular killing, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction, and phagocytosis were studied in 37 CML p...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the "in vitro" effect of parachlorophenol and camphorated parachlorophenol, used in endodontics for the disinfection of root canals, on the substrate adherence capacity of macrophages. Inflammatory macrophages were obtained from Wistar rats and resuspended in RPMI-1640 medium. As a test of macrophage phagocytic function, the adherence capacity of mac...

Model experiment was conducted with growing pigs fed diets containing zero or two levels (1 or 2 g/kg) of fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE). In the first part of the experiment (19 days between 49 and 68 days of age) weight gain and feed conversion were tested. The 2nd part of the experiment (21 days between 68 and 89 days of age) served to measure the effect of FWGE on some compartments of t...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect in vitro on macrophage adhesion of Tifell (formocresoleugenol), used as an intracanal medicament and in therapeutic pulpotomies in primary teeth, Macrophages were obtained from Wistar rats. As a test of macrophage phagocytic function the adherence capacity of macrophages to a plastic surface was determined. Assays were carried out in Eppen...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of the Candida albicans mannoprotein on Phagocytic activity, antibody production, serum gammaglobuline percentage and lymphocyte transformation index after vaccination with hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen. It can be concluded that Mannoprotein isolated from Candida albicans cell wall are an important immunomodulatorts in the development of immune ...

The aim of our study was to determine the phagocytic activity leukocytes and nitrosine tetrazolium test (NST - test) in dynamics experimental periodontitis (EP) immobilization stress (IS). It is established work that indicators studied by us, namely number, index NST increase on 3 rd, 5 th 15 days experiment. above tests have a high diagnostic value allow characterize degree inflammatory proces...
