[ 1 ] - Spermatogenesis after transplantation of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in busulfan-induced azoospermic hamster

Objective(s): Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) with more potent immunomodulatory effects, greater proliferative potential and secretion of growth factors and cytokines in comparison with bone marrow derived MSCs are more appropriate for cell therapy. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the histomorphometric effect of AT-MSCs allotransplantation on regeneration ...

[ 2 ] - بررسی اثر عصاره هیدروالکلی میوه بنه همراه با سلول‌های بنیادی مشتق از مغز استخوان در استئوآرتریت ایجاد شده در زانوی رت

پیش زمینه: استئوآرتریت یک بیماری پیش رونده مفصلی می باشد. میوه بنه خاصیت آنتی­اکسیدانی و ضد التهابی دارد. سلول های بنیادی مغز استخوان توانایی تمایز به سلول های کندروسیت را دارند. هدف از انجام این مطالعه، تأثیر عصاره هیدروالکلی میوه بنه همراه با سلول های بنیادی در مدل استئوآرتریت ایجاد شده در زانوی رت می باشد. مواد و روش ها: ابتدا 50 سر رت نر به 5 گروه 10 تایی تقسیم شدند. سپس در روزهای صفر و 3، ...

[ 3 ] - Expression of Melanocortin 4 Receptor mRNA in Male Rat Hypothalamus During Chronic Stress

The effects of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor antagonist (RU486) on expression of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of male rats were evaluated. In this study, adult male Sprague Dawley rats were placed into four groups (n=6/group) stress, RU486, stress/RU486, and control groups. In stress group, the rats were restrained, 1 h/day, for 12 days. In RU486 gr...

[ 4 ] - Comparison between Alpha and Calendula for healing of third-degree burn in rats

In this study, we compared the effects of Calendula and Alpha ointment in the treatment of burn wounds and compare its results with silver sulfadiazine (SSD). Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups, and similar burn ulcers were produced on anterior surface of thigh of rats. The first group of rats no treatment was applied, base gel was applied topically to group II,...

[ 5 ] - Low-power Density Radiations Emitted from Common Wi-Fi Routers Influence Sperm Concentration and Sperm Histomorphometric Parameters: A New Horizon on Male Infertility Treatment

Background: Male infertility is defined as an inability to impregnate a fertile female; it is a widespread problem which is usually caused by some male factors such as low quantity and quality of sperm, specifically oligospermia and azoospermia. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the bio-positive effects of low power density Wi-Fi radiation on the reproductive system of infertile and...

[ 6 ] - Decreased Expression of Arginine-Phenylalanine-Amide-Related Peptide-3 Gene in Dorsomedial Hypothalamic Nucleus of Constant Light Exposure Model of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Objective An abnormality in pulse amplitude and frequency of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion is the most characteristics of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). On the other hand, arginine-phenylalanine-amide (RFamide)-related peptide-3 (RFRP3) inhibits the secretion of GnRH in mammalian hypothalamus. Therefore, the current study evaluated the expression of RFRP3 mRNA in dorsomed...

[ 7 ] - Microsurgical Training Curriculum for Neurosurgery Residents in Southern Iran

Training of microvascular anastomosis techniques comprise the major part of surgical skills, necessary for revascularization surgeries. Training can be performed in several stages based on the experience of trainees. This should mainly start with various models of artificial materials that simulate tissues. In the next stage, trainee should practice microsurgical skill on a non-living tissue mo...

[ 8 ] - Antimicrobial Effects of Aqueous and Hydro-Alcoholic Plantago psyllium leaf extracts on the Experimental Infection of Helicobacter pylori in a Rat Model

Background and Objective: Plantago psyllium has long been utilised as a medicinal agent worldwide. The current study aims to evaluate the in vivo antimicrobial effects of aqueous P. psyllium and a hydro-alcoholic extract of P. psyllium on Helicobacter pylori as well as the effects of these extracts on liver and kidney in a rat model. Materials and Methods: A total number of 50 female Sprague D...
