Lallemantia royleana (Balangu) is a well known Iranian medicinal plant that its seed mucilage has many applications in modern pharmacology. Plant mucilage traditionally was used as a gel supplement, and natural matrix for sustained release of drugs. But it seems that these compounds are not a simple additive and also have many undiscovered pharmacological properties. In this research, the anest...

aloe vera is a plant of the liliaceae family with a brilliant history in disease treatment. in addition to the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health care industries, this plant is used in food industry due to having various nutrients such as amino acids and various vitamins or anti-bacterial compounds. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of variables such as temperature, tim...

background: in this study the basic radiation properties of n-isopropylacrylamaide polymer gel dosimeter were determined together with verification of its soft tissue equivalency. materials and methods: the nipam gel was prepared and irradiated approximately 2 h after manufacturing. the magnetic resonance (mr) images were made 24 h after irradiation. the nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) respons...

materials and methods in this study, 90 patients with second-degree burn injuries who were admitted to the yazd burn hospital were randomly divided into three equal groups. in the negative control group, the wounds were covered with sterile vaseline gauze followed by double sterile dry gauze and ultimately bandaged. in the test group, the wounds were covered by an iranian hydrogel sheet (irgel)...

Seven buffer and gel systems for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using discontinuous voltage and pH gradients (disc electrophoresis according to ORNSTEIN-UAVIS) and five systems using discontinuous voltage gradients at constant pH (according to ALLEN) have been compiled and characterized. Usefulness and applicability of the systems for clinical investigations are discussed and illustrated by...

RNA-based applications requiring high-quality, non-degraded RNA are a foundational element of many research studies. As such, it is paramount that the integrity of experimental RNA is validated prior to cDNA synthesis or other downstream applications. In the absence of expensive equipment such as microfluidic electrophoretic devices, and as an alternative to the costly and time-consuming standa...

In this paper, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added into chitosan (CS) hydrogels in the form of chitosan modified CNTs (CS-CNTs) composites to prepare carbon nanotubes hydrogels (CNTs-GEL). The products, named CS-MWCNTs, were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Swelling properties and effect of pH on controlled release performanc...

Bigels are unique two-phase systems that have recently been presented as a structured method for active ingredient application. The purposes of the current study were to develop and characterize bigel formulations containing loxoprofen. They benefits both hydrogel organo-gel. In order enhance penetration, pluronic lecithin was added form organo-gel, HPMC hydrogel, which properly hydrates stratu...
