background: based on recent studies, there are controversial reports on the ca-pacity of tissue cyst forming of toxoplasma gondii rh strain. in this study, the capac-ity was evaluated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. methods : rh strain was subcutaneously inoculated to ten wistar rats. after one month, their blood, brain, tongue and diaphragm were collected and evaluated by mat, pcr, pathol...

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin production. Therefore, tyrosinase inhibitors are used in cosmetic and medicinal industries to prevent or treat overproduction of melanin such as melasma, solar lentigo and post inflammatory melanoderma. Due to safety of natural whitening agents, in the present study, in-vitro anti-tyrosinase and in-vivo anti-melanogenesis activities of some selected red mac...

Background: In order to obtain an anti-CD20 conjugate to be used in future therapeutic studies with therapeutic radioisotopes, 67Ga-labeled antibody was prepared as a model of metal chelated immunoconjugate for preliminary dosimetric and biodistribution studies. Materials and Methods: Rituximab was labeled with [67Ga]-gallium chloride after residulation with freshly prepared cyclic DTP...

objective(s):  the field of nanotechnology is rapidly expanding .the development quantum dots quantum dot (qds), show great promise for treatment and diagnosis of cancer and targeted drug delivery little data on the toxicity of qds, especially for in vivo applications, are available. as a result, concerns exist over their toxicity for in vivo applications. then, cytotoxic effects of cadmium sel...

abstract background: in vivo measurements of applied dose during radiotherapy treatment, is important to ensure accurate dose delivery to patients. uncertainty in dose delivery should fall within ±5% of the prescribed dose as recommended by icru. assessment of dose for radiotherapy applications performed with various types of detectors. in this study, semiconductor diodes were used which have s...

background: delivering the maximum dose to tumor while achieving the minimum dose delivery to normal tissue; is the most important goal in external radiotherapy. diode in vivo dosimetry is widely considered to be an important tool for quality improvement of patient care in external radiotherapy. uncertainty in dose delivery should fall within 5% of the prescribed dose as recommended by internat...

introduction: during radiotherapy, high accuracy in the dose delivery is required because there is a strong  relationship between the absorbed dose, local tumor control and particularly the normal tissue damage. in  many institutions, in vivo dosimetry using diodes is performed to check the actual dose delivered. in general,  the uncertainty in the dose delivered should fall within  ± 5% of the...
