Neurofibroma of the prostate is an extremely rare benign tumor, particularly when it is not associated with neurofibromatosis-I (NF-1). This study aimed to report the case of a 44-year-old man who presented with dysuria for about 4 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass in the prostate with “target sign” on T2-weighted imaging. The mass was surgically excised, and histopathologic...

Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a class of transcription factors (TFs) with various biological functions that exist in almost all eukaryotes. In plants, heterotrimers composed different NF-Y subunits are numerous and have can participate the regulation plant growth at stages. However, genes not been systematically analyzed chrysanthemum, only involving several members. this study, forty-six members ...

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a significant side effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. Many experiments have proved sodium aescinate (SA) has definite pharmacological effects such as anti-infection, anti-exudation, anti-edema, anti-tumor well neuroprotection, and the drug are mild. However, no study explored whether SA involved in a...

Objectives: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) is a pathogenic factor for interstitial fibrosis (RIF). Interleukin-33 (IL-33) related to the occurrence and development RIF, but underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether IL-33 mediates EMT RTECs by activating NF-κB/Twist1 signalling pathway. Methods: In vivo, RIF animal mode...

Background & Aims of the Study:  Recently membranes have been widely used in Mena region especially Iran,  due to purify the brackish water and solved the water scarcity  .Qom province is located in desert like area of Iran and faced to water shortage .The aim of this study is evaluation of the best method of membrane process in the ground water wells of Qom province, Iran, in 2016. Materials ...

In this study, the applicability of nanofiltration (NF) membranes as a pretreatment prior to reverse osmosis (RO) in seawater desalination was investigated. The membranes used wereNF270 and NF90 as the NF membranes, while the brackish water (BW) RO membrane BW30 was used as the RO membrane. In desalination tests, permeates of the NF membraneswere collected and used as the feed to th...
