Niosome-loaded Tet-Amp against S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa.

Biofilm-associated disorders contribute to elevated morbidity and death rates among patients. We propose synthesizing niosomal structures containing the antibiotics tetracycline and ampicillin ((Tet/Amp)-Nio) and investigating their impact on standard strains of S. aureus, K.

Employment of Spore-Forming Probiotics to Combat Persister Cells of .

Background: In this study, spore-forming probiotics were employed to eradicate biofilms and the presence and expression of genes involved in stress response was examined.

Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was used to detect and genes in S. ATCC 12228.

Association of CATSPER1, SPATA16 and TEX11 genes polymorphism with idiopathic azoospermia and oligospermia risk in Iranian population.

Background: Male infertility is a heterogeneous disease which can occur due to spermatogenesis defects. The idiopathic azoospermia and oligospermia are the common cause of male infertility with unknown underlying molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate association of idiopathic azoospermia and oligospermia with single-nucleotide polymorphisms of CATSPER1, SPATA16 and TEX11 genes in Iranian-Azeri men.

Antiproliferative activity of CD44 siRNA-PEI-PEG nanoparticles in glioblastoma: involvement of AKT signaling.

Background And Purpose: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most invasive type of cancer which starts inside the brain. GBM cells were found to have similar properties to glioblastoma cancer stem cells. CD44 can be used as a marker of the cancer stem cells in a subset of glioblastoma tumor cells.

Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis in an Iranian Patient with Hereditary Spherocytosis.

Background: Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and hereditary hereditary distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) are associated with mutations in the SLC4A1 gene encoding the anion exchanger 1. In this study, some patients with clinical evidence of congenital HS and renal symptoms were investigated.

Methods: Twelve patients with congenital HS and renal symptoms were recruited from Ali-Asghar Children’s Hospital (Tehran, Iran).

Inhibitory Effect of Bismuth Oxide Nanoparticles Produced by on Methicillin-Resistant Strains (MRSA).

Background: Based on the increase in antibiotic-resistant pathogens, it is necessary to have various effective compounds, so as to prevent its proliferation of these pathogens. For this purpose, nano-materials such as bismuth oxide nanoparticles can be used.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to produce bismuth oxide nanoparticles by PTCC1320 and to determine the antimicrobial effects on methicillin-resistant species compared with some antibiotics.
