BACKGROUND Wart is a skin disease with circular appendages, which is called "suloul" in Iranian traditional medicine (ITM). According to ITM literature, warts have different types and causes. The most important mechanism is excretion of materials (Khelt) from body to skin and mucus; its causative material is often phlegm, black bile or a combination of them. To treat warts, it is necessary to c...

Staphylococcus aureus is the second leading pathogenic cause of nosocomial infections and plays an important role in development food poisoning purulent, systemic infections. This bacterium responsible for such as abscess, poisoning, third grade burns, traumatic ulcers, surgical incisions, bed sores or atrophic ulcers. Long-term use antibiotics has led to emergence multi-drug resistant strains ...

The current study focuses on the synthesis of Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanocatalyst via Tragacanth Gum (TG) using wet impregnation method and its application for sustainable biodiesel production from a novel, non-edible Descurainia sophia (L.) Webb ex Prantl seed oil. D. oil has higher content (36 wt%) free fatty acid (FFA) value (0.6 mg KOH/g). Innovative analytical methods, such as X-ray diffracti...

BACKGROUND Descurainia sophia seeds have a variety of pharmacological functions and been widely used in traditional folk medicine. However, their effects on human drug metabolizing enzyme (DME) activities have not been elucidated. The present study investigated the inhibitory effects of an ethanol extract of D. sophia seeds (EEDS) on human Phase I/II (DMEs) and P-glycoprotein (p-gp) in vitro. ...

Persistence provides a way of grading the importance of homological features in the sublevel sets of a real-valued function. Following the de nition given by Edelsbrunner, Morozov and Pascucci, an ε-simpli cation of a function f is a function g in which the homological noise of persistence less than ε has been removed. In this paper, we give an algorithm for constructing an ε-simpli cation of a...
