Bacterial Heat Shock Protein Activity

Bacteria are exposed to different types of stress in their growth conditions. They have developed appropriate responses, modulated by the re-modeling of protein complexes and by phosphorylation dependent signal transduction systems, to adapt and to survive in a variety range of nature. Proteins are essential components for biologic activity in the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) have been identified from various organisms and have critical role in cell hemostasis. Chaperone can sense environment and have different potential role in the organism evolution

STUDY OF THE STATUS OF SPIRITUAL HEALTH OF THE ELDERLY ADULTS

Aims: spirituality as one of the important dimensions of the healthy concept, and is an effective factor on human consistency with the malady. This investigation has been done in order to determine the spiritual health status and its relationship with the demographic characteristics of the elderly adults. Materials and the methods: this investigation was done in a sampling method available on 360 individual adults of 65 years old and upper in Ilam city. Questionnaire of the spiritual healthy from Islam view point was used in order to collecting of the this tool data including four items of the belief system, thought moral system, and life style which its reliability and validity has been confirmed in previous studies. Data have been analyzed by SPSS software using correlation coefficient. Results: findings showed that spiritual health of the most of participants in above investigation, and also spiritual health has had a significant relationship with age, status of the disease addiction, status of the elderly adult life with his/her family and low education. But it had no significant correlation to gender. Concluding: according to the spiritual health role in the individuals' consistency, necessity of the more attention for elderly adults' health and its promotion is necessitate for health care providers

The Effect of Oxygen Inhalation Plus Oxytocin Compared with Oxytocin Only on Postpartum Haemorrhage: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Introduction: Post Partum Haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality across the world, mainly in the developing countries. Aim: The present study was conducted with the aim to investigate effect of oxygen inhalation plus oxytocin compared with oxytocin only on PPH. Materials and Methods: This study was a clinical trial which was performed in Shahid Mustafa Khomieni Teaching Hospital of Ilam (western Iran) from April 2012 to Nov 2013. One hundred and twenty pregnant women who were referred to delivery ward for normal vaginal delivery were selected with convenience sampling method and they were randomly assigned into two groups. For both groups management of the third stage of labour was done using 1000CC Ringer and 20 units of Oxytocin. In the intervention group, in addition to the routine administration, 8 liters of oxygen via face mask was used continuously until 2 hours after delivery. Blood loss was determined by regular weighing of the buttocks that were previously weighted. The difference was calculated before and after weighing (1 gram increasing of weight was considered to be equivalent to 1CC blood loss). Data were analysed by SPSS 16 version using Student-t and Chi-square tests. Results: The two groups were homogenous in regard to all the base line variables. The study results indicated that the mean of blood loss were (256.16+/-97) ml at two hours after delivery in the control group and (149.5+/-46.49) ml in the intervention group. There was a significant difference between PPH of the two groups (p<0.006). Conclusion: Research findings showed that the use of inspired oxygen during the third stage of labour and oxytocin infusion during 2hours later resulted in a significant decreasing in the amount of bleeding after normal vaginal delivery

A Nickel–Gold Bilayer Catalyst Engineering Technique for Self-Assembled Growth of Highly Ordered Silicon Nanotubes (SiNT)

We report the growth of vertically aligned high-crystallinity silicon nanotube (SiNT) arrays on silicon substrate by means of a Ni–Au bilayer catalyst engineering technique. Nanotubes were synthesized through solid–liquid–solid method as well as vapor–liquid–solid. A precise evaluation utilizing atomic force microscopy and lateral force microscopy describes that the gold profile in Ni regions leads to the construction of multiwall SiNTs. The agreement of the structural geometry and stiffness of the obtained SiNTs with previous theoretical predictions suggest sp hybridization as the mechanism of tube formation. Apart from scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy techniques, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) has been conducted to investigate the formation of nanostructures. PL spectroscopy confirms the evolution of ultrafine walls of the silicon nanotubes, responsible for the observed photoemission properties

Effects of Roasting Cotton Seed on its Gossypol Content, Ruminal Degradability and in Vitro Protein Digestibility

This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of cotton seed roasting (125°C for 15 and 30 minutes) on its gossypol content, chemical composition, in vitro CP digestibility, ruminal dry matter (DM) and crud protein (CP) degradability. Degradation kinetics of DM and CP were determined according to in situ procedure with three ruminally fistulated Taleshi bulls. Roasting cotton seed had no effect on chemical composition of feed samples (P>0.05; roasting at 125°C for 15 and 30 minute decreased free gossypol by 17.5 and 21.3%, respectively (
