[ 1 ] - Resveratrol decreases apoptosis and NLRP3 complex expressions in experimental varicocele rat model

Objective(s): Varicocele is an abnormal dilation in the testicular vein, which can cause hypoxia, reactive oxygen species accumulation, elevation in testicular temperature, and promote apoptosis and increase proinflammatory cytokine production. According to the varicocele pathophysiology, it is possible that a group of cytosolic receptors called nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like rece...

[ 2 ] - Expression of Recombinant Streptokinase from Streptococcus Pyogenes and Its Reaction with Infected Human and Murine Sera

  Objective(s): Streptokinase (SKa) is an antigenic protein which is secreted by Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptokinase induces inflammation by complement activation, which may play a role in post infectious diseases. In the present study, recombinant streptokinase from S. pyogenes was produced and showed that recombinant SKa protein was recognized by infected human sera using Western blot analy...

[ 3 ] - Isolation and Phenotyping of Normal Mouse Liver Dendritic Cells by an Improved Method

Introduction Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived cells, which migrate to lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs via blood. Liver DCs are believed to play an important role in the regulation of hepatic allograft acceptance. However, because of inherent difficulties in isolating adequate numbers of DCs from liver, limited information is available on the phenotype and functions of liver DCs. ...

[ 4 ] - Interferon β-1a and Atorvastatin in the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis

Background: Statins, widely used cholesterol-lowering agents, have also been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory and immunomdulatory effects. Objective: To evaluate the effects of atorvastatin in combination with Interferon-β in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: Multiple sclerosis patients were randomized independently, in a double b...

[ 5 ] - Is CD19 an Immunological Diagnostic Marker for Acute Appendicitis?

Background: The appendix is considered as part of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue; however, lymphocyte subsets in this tissue are not fully defined. Objective: To investigate and compare the function and phenotype of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood and appendix of patients with normal and inflamed appendix tissues. Methods: Peripheral blood samples and appendiceal mononuclear cells we...

[ 6 ] - بررسی رژیم دارویی فلودارابین- سیکلوفسفامید در درمان بیماران ایرانی مبتلا به لوسمی لنفوسیتی مزمن

  سابقه و هدف: هدف از این مطالعه، بررسی اثر داروی فلودارابین- سیکلوفسفامید در درمان بیماران ایرانی مبتلا به لوسمی لنفوسیتی مزمن نوع- B می‌باشد.   مواد و روش ‌ ها: در این مطالعه که از اردیبهشت 1390 تا خرداد 1391 انجام شد، 20 بیمار مبتلا به لوسمی لنفوسیتی مزمن (میانگین سنی 63 سال) وارد مطالعه شدند و تحت درمان با رژیم استاندارد دارویی فلودارابین (25 میلی‌گرم) و سیکلوفسفامید (250 میلی‌گرم) به صورت ...

[ 7 ] - تاثیر سیمواستاتین بر روند بیماری آنسفالومیلیت خود ایمن تجربی در موش های نژاد C57BL/6

Background and Purpose: Simvastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme, a reductase and widely used as cholesterol-lowering agent. It is a promising candidate for future treatment in multiple sclerosis (MS), as it has been shown to exhibit immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This study examined the effect of simvastatin on the evolution of experimental autoimmu...

[ 8 ] - Effect of vitamin D3 on leukocyte infiltration into the brain of C57/BL6 mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Background: Leukocyte infiltration into the central nervous system (CNS) in diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) have been implicated in subsequent disease pathogenesis and progression. It suggested that vitamin D3 (active form of vitamin D) ameliorates the symptoms of EAE when administered after the onset of clinical sings. The aim of this s...

[ 9 ] - Changes in Expression of miR-1297 and PTEN Tumor Suppressor Gene in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background and purpose: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a type of blood malignancy caused by changes in the precursors of T lymphocyte cells. The PTEN gene is one of the most common tumor suppressor genes that mutates in most human cancers, including T-ALL. Therefore, it is important to identify miRNAs that target the PTEN gene in T-ALL. For this purpose, in the present study, mi...
