background: several regimens of therapy were recommended for the treatment of genital wart with different efficacies. the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of podophylin 20% versus trichloroacetic acid 30% in the treatment of genital wart.methods: this randomized clinical study was conducted on 120 cases with genital wart. they randomly received podophylin 20% or trichloroacetic...

toluene and benzene were eliminated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts). in order to investigate influence of acid treatment on the mwcnts adsorption capacities, the mwcnts were functionalized by nitric acid (10 m) under reflux conditions for 2 h. fourier transform infrared (ftir) and raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the formation of functional groups on the nanotubes surfac...

introduction: humic acid (ha) is one the original disinfection byproducts processors in water treatment. so, removing it is necessary before water chlorination. in the present study, photodegredation of humic acid in water using ag/zno nano particle under uvc irradiation in batch system was investigated. material and methods: photocatalytic study was carried out to evaluate the effect of uvc (1...

background: chronic arsenic toxicity (arsenicosis) due to drinking of arsenic contaminated ground water is a global problem. however, its treatment is unsatisfactory. methylation of arsenic facilitates its urinary excretion. persons with relatively lower proportion of urinary dimethyl arsenic acid (dma) are found to have at greater risk of developing symptoms of arsenicosis including its compli...

objective(s):the limited homing potential of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-msc) is the key obstacle in msc-based therapy. it is believed that chemokines and chemokine receptor interactions play key roles in cellular processes associated with migration. meanwhile, mscs express a low level of distinct chemokine receptors and they even lose these receptors on their surface after a...

tulip is one of the most important flowers to precocity. treatment of tulip bulbs with gibberellic acid reduces the forcing period in the greenhouse resulting energy saving and reduces the tulip’s physiological disorders. this study carried out about three tulip cultivars includes ‘lacourtine’, ‘yokohama’ and ‘red favourite’. the results showed that gibberellic acid reduced significantly stem l...

background: white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) is one of the most sensitive agricultural crops after harvesting and its antioxidant properties tend to decrease during post-harvest storage with the passage of time. objectives: the possible role of exogenous application of malic acid as dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced white button mushroom dur...

introduction: natural organic matters (noms) existing in water resources led to various problems such as formation of disinfectant by-products (dbps). humic matters like humic acid (ha) are component of noms that should be removed from water. advanced oxidation process (aops) is one of the noms removal methods. the aim of this study was to survey the degradation of humic acid by electron beam i...
