Due to the impact of climate change, the process of salinity intrusion occurs frequently in coastal areas of Vietnam. The main objective of this study is therefore to try diff erent nanofi ltration (NF) processes (such as single-stage and dual-stage NF) to treat brackish water for residential areas in Thu Bon river basin, where the salinity varies signifi cant with seas...

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) regulates many genes involved in vascular physiopathology. We have previously observed in vivo NF-kappaB activation in injured vessels that diminished by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition. In the present work, we investigated the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on NF-kappaB activity in rat vascular smooth muscle cells, evaluating the molecular mechanis...

background: cell therapy of many neurodegenerative diseases using bone marrow stromal cells (bmsc) requires the differentiation of bmsc into neuronal subtype. however, the transdifferentiation of bmsc into gabaergic phenotype requires more investigation. methods: in this study, bmsc of adult female rats were pre-induced into neuroblast-like cells using 1 mm β-mercaptoethanol (βme) and 10 m ret...

Background & Aims of the Study:  Recently membranes have been widely used in Mena region especially Iran,  due to purify the brackish water and solved the water scarcity  .Qom province is located in desert like area of Iran and faced to water shortage .The aim of this study is evaluation of the best method of membrane process in the ground water wells of Qom province, Iran, in 2016. Materials ...

Background: Breast cancer is known as the most widely recognized dangerous tumors; therefore, the most common reason for mortality among all instances of harmful neoplastic illness in females. This is because the lack of specific signs and symptoms at the early stage and at the aggressive nature. Currently, breast cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy has not been effe...

Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that EDCs may activate nuclear transcription factor, such as activator protein-1 (AP-1), factor of activated Tcells (NF-AT) and kappa B (NF-?B) in the process immune damage. At same time, some experts believed estrogen play an important role this process. As a typical representative EDCs, nonylphenol (NP) has not been reported. The aim work was to...
