198 lactic acid bacteria (lab) were isolated from iranian milk samples. almost all isolatedlab showed inhibitory activity towards e. coli and s. aureus as gram negative and grampositive indicators, respectively. no role was observed for hydrogen peroxide in the activity ofall isolated strains while organic acids proved a prominent role in all detected inhibitoryactivities. within isolated lab, ...

practice and study of medicine in iran has a long and prolific history. iran has all characteristics of an indigenous culture which has so far discovered numerous natural products. unfortunately, scant research has been conducted on this system of medicine and ethnopharmacology of iran. gout is a historical disease that is still widespread all around the world. as numerous remedies used to be a...

oral ph sensitive drug delivery systems are of utmost importance as these systems deliver the drug at specific part of the gastrointestine (gi) as per the ph of gi, resulting in improved patient therapeutic efficacy and compliance. the ph range of fluids in various segments of the gi tract may provide environmental stimuli for drug release. the aim of this study was to design buoyant beads cont...

background: hoxa11 and leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) and basic transcriptional element binding protein1 (bteb1) are expressed in endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle and show a dramatic increase during the mid-luteal phase at the time of implantation. in this case-control study, the expression pattern of these mrna was evaluated in patients with endometriosis at the time of implantatio...

the infections risk related to pathogenic germs increases at the present time considering the increased resistance which certain microbes acquire, whose usual antibiotics are ineffective to treat the infectious disease. the aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial effect of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of lavandula stoechas l. and rosmarinus officinalis l. on listeria monocytogene...

background: spinal muscular atrophy (sma) is the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease. it is a neuromuscular disorder caused by degenerative of lower motor neurons and occasionally bulbar neurons leading to progressive limb paralysis and muscular atrophy. the smn1 gene is recognized as a sma causing gene while naip has been characterized as a modifying factor for the clinical s...

conclusions this blis with broad-spectrum activity may be a potential agent for the treatment or control of drug-resistant strains of p. aeruginosa infection. results among the 96 isolates of p. aeruginosa, 2 (2.1%), 94 (97.9%), and 63 (65.6%) were non-mdr, mdr, and xdr, respectively, and 1 (1.1%) was pdr. the most effective antibiotics against these isolates were polymyxins and fosfomycin. a b...

background: sertoli cells play a pivotal role in creating microenvironments essential for spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) self-renewal and commitment to differentiation. maintenance of sscs and or induction of in vitro spermiogenesis may provide a therapeutic strategy to treat male infertility. objective: this study investigated the role of luekemia inhibitory factor (lif) on the propagation o...
