objectives : squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity and a public health threat. tumor progression is believed to be influenced by angiogenesis as well as tumor cell proliferation; however, the correlation of these two factors in tongue scc still remains unclear. this study aimed to assess the correlation of these two factors in tongue scc. materia...

With respect to the limitations of fossil energy resources, different types of electric vehicles (EVs) are developed as suitable alternatives. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells play an extremely important role in EVs due to their unique features. But they need a thermal management system (TMS) to maintain their surface temperature uniformity and avoid them from thermal runaways. In the current...

in the present study, the interactions of three different lithium species li+, li3+ and ch3li with several different sites of the most stable tautomers of dna nucleo-bases are presented. this investigation is based on the results of thermochemical properties, quantum theory of atoms in molecules (qtaim) and natural bond orbital (nbo) analysis, obtained at b3lyp/6-311++g(d,p) level of theory. th...

lithium (li), a glycogen synthase kinase-3β (gsk-3β) inhibitor, has used to attenuate thecannabinoid-induced dependence/withdrawal signs, but molecular mechanisms related to this areunclear. recent studies indicate the involvement of upstream extracellular signal kinase1/2 (erk1/2)and downstream gsk-3β pathways in the development of cannabinoid-induced dependence. thisis mediated through cannab...

stage-specifci developmental forms of lesihmania major promastigotes were grown in vitro. procyclic and metacyclic promastigotes were cultured and separated by peanut agglutinin. the axenic amastigote form were prepared by culturing the promastigotes in acidic medium at 35c.these three forms of parasites were used as antigens to study cytokine production in whole blood culture of healthy indivi...

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia trait are the two most common causes of hypochromic microcytic anemia. There are some discriminating functions (DFs) formula to differentiate these two conditions based on RBC's indices which would be compared the validity of the 14 various indices in this study. Correspond...
