in this study, combined effect of two essential oils, thymol and carvacrol, with different concentrations in two methods on gladiolous grandiflorous l. was investigated based on a completely randomized design with 3 replicates and four flower in each replicate. sansusi variety applied that was red. in short term method, different concentrations of thymol and carvacrolin including 25+25, 50+50 a...

Quinazolinones, water insoluble heterocyclic compounds, have various biological and pharmacological properties (anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation, sedation and anti-depression) are also used for the treatments of cancer and HIV. Our previous results proved that new derivative of quinazolinones is toxogenic and teratogenic in mouse. Pregnant Balb/C mice (n=8) were divided into 3 groups of contro...

AIM To evaluate the effect of successive cycles of disinfection in different denture cleansers on the surface roughness and the Vickers hardness of two layers of acrylic resin (base-BL and enamel-EL) of two commercial cross-linked artificial teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal surfaces of 60 acrylic resin denture posterior teeth (Trilux-TLX and SR Orthosit PE-SRO) embedded in autopolyme...

PURPOSE Xerostomia can diminish the quality of life, leads to changes in normal chemical composition of saliva and oral microbiata, and increases the risk for opportunistic infections, such as Candida albicans. Various artificial salivas have been considered for patients with xerostomia. However, the knowledge on the antifungal and antiadhesive activity of artificial saliva substitutes is limit...

introduction: intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of streptozotocin (stz) to rodents has been reported as an appropriate model for sporadic dementia of alzheimer's type (sdat), characterized by a progressive impairment of memory. however, very little or nothing is known about non-cognitive behavioral effects in the stz model. this study was carried out in order to show the protectiv...

Some properties and functions of water treated under magnetic field were examined. No change in properties of pure water distilled from ultrapure water in vacuum was observed by magnetic treatment. However, when the same magnetic treatment was carried out after the distilled water was exposed to O2, water properties such as vibration modes and electrolytic potential were changed. The degree of ...

Introduction: Curcumin, a natural antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory and protective effect on a large number of diseases like cancers and hepatic disorders in oxidative stress conditions by collecting free oxygen radicals and increasing intracellular glutathione. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of curcumin on the level of IL-17 and IL-10 cytokines in intrahep...

In recent years, a number of studies have investigated complementary medical approaches to the treatment of hypertension using dietary supplements. Rice bran protein hydrolysates extracted from rice is a rich source of bioactive peptides. The present study aimed to investigate the vasorelaxation and antihypertensive effects of peptides-derived from rice bran protein hydrolysates (RBP) in a rat ...

We studied ten subjects who had an asthmatic response after the inhalation of ultrasonically nebulized distilled water and did not show any refractory period to repeated challenge with such water. The change in responsiveness to methacholine after inhalation of distilled water and the occurrence of any water-induced late asthmatic response were investigated on separate days. All of the tested s...
