abstractgene therapy is a therapeutic approach to deliver genetic material into cells to alter their function in entire organism. one promising form of gene delivery system (dds) is liposomes. the success of liposome-mediated gene delivery is a multifactorial issue and well-designed liposomal systems might lead to optimized gene transfection particularly in vivo. liposomal gene delivery systems...

Objective(s): Drug delivery via mucosal routes has been confirmed to be effective in inducing strong immune responses. Liposomes could enhance immune responses and mucoadhesive potentials, make them useful mucosal drug delivery systems. Coating of liposomes by mucoadhesive polymers succeeded in enhancing immune responses. Our studies aim at preparation and characterization of trimethylchitosan-...

background in the early months of life, breastfeeding increases chance of survival, reduces recovery time after disease and mortality due to infections such as diarrhea and acute respiratory infections. however, infants who are exclusively breast-fed for more than 6 months in developing countries may be at increased risk of anemia. therefore, the aim of study was to assess the relation between ...

Introduction: Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a benign lesion of vascular origin. It rarely involves nasal cavity which most commonly manifests as progressive nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Case Report: In this report we present a case of LCH of the nasal cavity which occurred approximately one month after delivery. There was no recurrence after complete endoscopic resection during ...

Background: Iran has a high C-section rate (40.6% in 2005). The objective of this study was to assess the associations and population-attributable risks (PAR) of risk factors combinations and C-section in the Southwest Iran. Methods: We performed a population-based cohort study using the reports provided by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The cohort included pregnant women within Sept...
