background: atp-binding cassette transporter a1 (abca1) is a membrane integral protein which plays a vital role in high density lipoprotein (hdl) metabolism and exerts a protective effect against hypoalphalipoproteinemia (ha) by mediation of rate-limiting step in hdl biogenesis. in addition, this protein possesses anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of some inflammatory cytok...

natural citrus biotypes are a valuable genetic resource in the country. investigation about diversity of biochemical compounds due to optimize the utilization and development of new varieties is useful. therefore, for identifying them, the fruits of 16 biotypes with numbers of 6, 8, 15, 21, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 41, 43, 45, 48, 51, 52 and 53 in the germplasm collection of the iran citrus research...

the current study aimed to investigate the status of harakat journal from its first volume (summer, 1378, no. 1) to the last one (winter, 1368). descriptive research method was used. the statistical population included 338 published papers in 34 harakat journals, and the statistical sample was equal to the statistical population. the data analysis identified 338 papers (average of 9.94) for eac...

recent reports have indicated different effects of immunostimulatory sequences containing cpg-oligodeoxynucleotides (odn) on various immune cells. however, the exact role of cpg-odn in the human gut is unclear. in the present study, we assessed potential effects of cpg-odn on non lymphoid cell (intestinal epithelial cell line ht-29) on a dose-response and time-course basis. intestinal epithelia...

introduction water vapor can spread in molecular, unstable and erratic phase and can also transfer by convection and advection process. this transfer happens from the earth and ocean surfaces to the atmosphere in hot air. this type of transfer is considered as the main pattern. in the studies of the atmosphere, one of the prominent factors to be considered is the complexity of water vapor and i...

abstarct:a simple one-pot synthesis of pyrano[ 2,3-c]pyrazoles was developed by a three-component reaction of various benzaldehydes, malononitrile and 1-phenyl or hydro-3-methyl-1h-pyrazol-5(4h)-one in the presence of n-methyl pyridinium p-toluene sulfonate (nmpyts) as a catalyst. all of the synthesized compounds were identified by ir, 1h nmr, 13c nmr and mass spectroscopy techniques. in the me...

background: radiotherapy treatment planning requires different dosimetric quantities as input in order to calculate a desired dose distribution. this study has been focused to evaluate the depth dose characteristics of superficial x-rays being used for radiotherapy treatment. materials and methods: computerized 3-d water phantom of multi-data system was used. the measurements were made through ...

a new kinetic spectrophotometic method for the determination of trace amount manganese(ii) in tea real samples has been described based on it s the catalytic effect on the oxidations of 1 - (2 – pyridyl azo) - 2 - naphthol, (pan), by potassium bromated in sulfuric acid. the reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 547.5 nm. under the optimum con...

curly top disease is one of the important diseases of sugar beet. spatial pattern and population variation of leafhoppers circulifer haematoceps, and c. tenellus, vectors of sugar beet curly top virus, were studied in hamadan province, iran for three years (2007- 2009). sampling was carried out at the early stage of the plant growth, in accordance with planting date for 9 weeks, in 7- 10 day in...
