However, there are still people who ignore using this effective protective tool due to the lack of comfortable face masks on the market. Therefore, in the current study, we assessed commercially available face masks namely N95 masks, surgical masks, and cloth masks in order to find out their weakness. In addition, the identification needs of people from a face mask were collected by an online questionnaire. According to the information obtained; we achieved key factors required to design a new type of face mask using the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and the final design was printed. Moreover, the long-term use of herbs in Iranian Traditional Medicine persuaded us to add a humidifier containing aromatic plants essential oils such as Eucalyptus globules Labill. and Rosa damascene Mill. with scientifically proven health benefits such as pain reliever, relaxing properties and antimicrobial activities. We are expected that these aromas would be an effective way to eliminate the problems of individuals suffering from air pollutants, respiratory disorders, and COVID which leads to encouraging more people to use face masks during pandemics or air pollution.

Additionally, they are far more flexible, since they may be found in foods not just as sources of vitamin A, and also as natural colors, antioxidants, and health-promoting substances. Functional foods provide health advantages in addition to basic nourishment. They can be found in a variety of forms, including whole, fortified, enriched, or enhanced meals. A flood of information about the health advantages of functional foods has been supplied by several epidemiological research. This review discusses the factor for healthy and sustainable usage of carotenoidrich ingredients for the design of functional food products primarily intended for health promotion. Furthermore, data on sources, intakes, and variables influencing bioavailability are summarized.

One of the fields was located at Neka town with 5 meter s above sea level and other one was at sari city with 905 meters above sea level. Weeds treatment (control and without control) was chosen as main factor and nitrogen treatment (0, 23, 46, 69, 92 kg h) as sub-factor. Results showed that bending moment 3 and 4 inter-nodes at Neka town area (15.56 and 8.74 %) was more than sari city area respectively. With weeds control increased grain yield (40.73 %) because of less inter-specific competition and increase panicle length. Maximum grain yield was obtained for nitrogen treatment (69 and 92 kg h) because of increase in panicle length. Bending moment 3rd and 4 inter-nodes (28.32 and 22.61 %) increased in nitrogen treatment (92 kg h) over control because of increase in plant height, stem length, 3 and 4 inter-nodes length and 3 and 4 inter-nodes diameter. Minimum and maximum height, number and weeds dry weight were fo...

In this study, the chemical composition of different parts of Iranian Z. multiflora Boiss oils and also its antioxidant and antibacterial properties have been considered. The results showed that the main oil components especially thymol and carvacrol are identical in the oils exctracted derived from leaf, flower and aerial parts of the plant. In addition, the different part oils indicated the high radical scavenging and antioxidant properties. Also, E. coli and P. aeroginosa are more sensitive to the effects of the oil samples. However, the flower and aerial part oils of Z. multiflora are more efficient than the leaf in sensitivity to these microorganisms. These findings suggest the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the oils derived from the leaf, flower and aerial parts of Z. multiflora regarding thymol and carvacrol...

Zataria multiflora Boiss. (Lamiaceae) has been used for many years in folk medicine due to its antioxidant and antibacterial activities. This study evaluates -for the first time- the effect of Z. multiflora essential oil (EO) against iron oxide nanoparticles hepatotoxicity in rat model. Male Wistar rats were divided randomly into 4 groups; control group (C), non-treated control group (NT), treatment groups, nanoparticles plus Z. multiflora EO at 100 and 200 mg/kg b.w. In following, the liver and blood tissue were collected for estimating antioxidant / oxidative stress parameters including lipid peroxidation (LP), glutathione (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and liver enzyme asparate transaminase (AST) and also histopathological examinations. Iron oxide nanoparticles toxicity produced a significant increase in the levels of LP, ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP),...

This study was to assess the protective effect of Carum carvi L. essential oil (E.O) on the hepatoxitic rats induced by overdose of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs). The rats were distributed to 4 groups. In negative control group (NC), the rats received normal saline and DMSO daily for 3 days. In control group (C), iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3) (200 mg/kg b.w) was injected daily for 3 days. In the treatment groups, iron oxide nanoparticles plus E.O at 100 & 200 mg/kg b.w were injected daily for 3 days. In following, cytochrome P450 (CYP450), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione (GSH), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were estimated at 72 h after NP-treatment. The administration of the E.O could return considerably the decrease of the GST and GSH l...

The animals were divided into 24 groups (n=5): The negative control group used tap water in 14 days following DMS O i.p injection at day 15th. The control group received tap water in 14 days following 500 mg/kg b.w. i.p injection of acetaminophen dissolved in DMSO. The treatment groups received only DDW (30 and 60 ppm) in 14 days concomitant with treatment groups receiving DDW plus i.p injection of S. rechingeri oil following acetaminophen injection at day 15th. Indeed, hepatoprotective activity was evaluated by the biochemical estimation of acetaminophen metabolism enzymes; cytochrome P450(CYP450), glutathione s-transferase (GST) together with the level of glutathione (GSH). The markers of liver injuries (ALT, AST, and ALP ) were also estimated in plasma. The results i...

The effects of the extracts were assessed by estimating the hepatic oxidative stress/antioxidant parameters such as malondialdehyde, glutathione and ferric reducing ability of plasma (MDA, GSH, FRAP) and the detoxification enzymes; glutathione S-transferase and Cytochrome PResults: The results showed that the F. assa-foetida extracts markedly reversed the increased levels of CYPConclusion: The achieved results suggested the beneficial effect of the extracts on DMH metabolic processes in the colon indicating its chemopreve...
