background: tumor associated tissue eosinophilia is believed to play a significant role in the biological behavior of the carcinoma. eosinophil infiltrate in association with the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (scc) have been reviewed from time-to-time. the significance of such an association has been variably thought to be either a potential diagnostic tool for stromal invasion or as a ...

indeterminate cell histiocytosis is a very rare disorder of histiocytes proliferation. it has both langerhans and non-langerhans cell histiocytosis immunophenotypic features. we described a 45-year-old man with a 2 years history of multiple yellow-brown papules and a few red nodules on his trunk and extremities. no internal involvement was detected first and after 8 months. as his lesions were ...

spermatogonial stem cell (ssc) technologies provide multiple opportunities for research in the field of biotechnology and regenerative medicine. the therapeutic use of embryonic stem cells (escs) is restricted due to severe ethical and immunological concerns. therefore, we need a new pluripotent cell type. despite well-known role of germ cells in the gametogenesis, some facts apparently show th...

the objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (pc-3) using mtt and neutral red assays. the crude aqueous extract of c. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on pc-3 cell line. dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma pc-3 c...

BACKGROUND Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outside of red blood cells contributes to recognition and removal of old and damaged cells. The fraction of phosphatidylserine-exposing red blood cells varies between donors, and increases in red blood cell concentrates during storage. The susceptibility of red blood cells to stress-induced phosphatidylserine exposure increases with storage. Phos...

background: several factors influence on the outcome  of ischemic stroke. the aim of this study was determination the relationship  between stroke mortality and red blood cell parameters. methods: this cross-sectional  study was conducted  from 2011 july to june 2012. for all patients with ischemic stroke in middle  cerebral  artery  (mca)  territory, the  cell blood count test was performed. w...
