a new approach for the synthesis of prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant cetyl pyridinium chloride (cpc) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. powder x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, uv–vis absorption spectra, and ir spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. the tem image showed that the prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

organization of various cells lining the olfactory mucosa of puntius ticto (hamilton, 1822) were described by light as well as scanning electron microscopy. the paired olfactory chambers located antero-dorsal to the eyes and communicated outside through anterior and posterior nasal openings. the oval shaped olfactory rosette lied at the bottom of chamber and composed of 18-20 lamellae arranged ...

prior animal models have shown that rats sustaining 3-second immediate spinal cord compression had significantly better functional recovery and smaller lesion volumes than rats subjected to compression times of 1 hour, 6 hours, 3 weeks, and 10 weeks after spinal cord injury. we compare locomotor rating scales and spinal cord histopathology after 3 seconds and 10 minute compression times. . ten ...

copper vanadate nanostructures were prepared via ex-situ precipitation approach in presence of schiff-base ligand (n,n׳ -buthylenebis(acetylacetone iminato)dianion = acacbn) as a new capping agent. the effect of different cu sources and ph on the size, morphology and size distribution of copper vanadate nanostructures was investigated. the as-prepared products were characterized using x-ray dif...

nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite was precipitated from calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid. effects of precipitation temperature and different calcium to phosphate ratios (ca/p) on the obtained powders were investigated. characteriza-tion of the powders was performed using xrd and ftir spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. increase in precipitation tempera...

introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the dentin-sealer interface in three different sealers using scanning electron microscopy (sem). methods and materials: thirty extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared using protaper rotary files and were randomly divided into three groups ( n =10) including bc sealer, ah-plus and dorifill. the root canals were filled with cold lateral condens...

introduction: the aim of this study was to verify the effect of alternating 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl) and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) on the smear layer removal from root canal surfaces. methods and materials: a total of 15 single-rooted human teeth, instrumented with protaper files, were randomly distributed in 3 groups. in group 1 ( n =7) the canals were irrigated with 1...

introduction: this study aimed to assess the scanning electron microscope (sem) analysis of tooth surface irradiated by erbium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet (er:yag) laser with various parameters. methods: number of 25 extracted human third molars free of caries were used in this study. the teeth were put into 5 groups for laser irradiation as follows: group 1 (power: 0.5 w, energy: 50 mj); group 2 (...

introduction and objective: alport’s syndrome (hereditary nephritis with deafness) is a familial uncommon disease that ultra-structural studies are gold standard method of its diagnosis. materials and methods:we studied 26 iranian patients suspicious of alport’s syndrome by electron microscopy. we examined 19 men and 7 women (male to female ratio was 2.7) and the average age was 1.5 years (with...
