BACKGROUND Our previous studies showed that Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) inhibited 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced oral carcinogenesis in hamsters and such anti-cancer effects might be related to the inhibition of angiogenesis. This study was aimed to further investigate the anti-proliferative effect of Sal B on the most common type of oral cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC...

Angiogenesis or formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vasculature is a key process in some physiological conditions such as wound healing, growth, and action of female reproductive organs. Moreover, disturbance of the mechanisms of physiological angiogenesis has a role in pathogenesis of some diseases in the form of overproliferation of blood vessels such as cancers, psoriasis, arthri...

Chymase is a protease found in mast cell granules with a variety of enzymatic functions. Chymase converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which is closely involved with angiogenesis by activating vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteases (MMP). As suggested by Akgul and Noon, chymase-positive mast cells may be closely involved with fibrosis of the heart [1]. We pre...

Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death in world’s population. The sudden and progressive loss cardiomyocyte contractile cells due to disproportionate number new formation. This pathological condition will ultimately reduce function heart muscles. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) last decade has been attracting attention regarding its role cell regeneration. content cytokines growth facto...

angiogenesis which is the recruitment of new blood vessels is a critical process in several chronic diseases and is an essential component of tumor or cancer progression. development of therapies aimed at inhibiting the angiogenesis, in combination with classical anti-cancer therapies, is among the most intensively studied approaches to treat the cancer. in this study the effect of chlordiazepo...

Background: Endometriosis is the presence of endometrium- like tissue in sites outside the uterine cavity, primarily on the pelvic peritoneum and ovaries. Ectopic endometrium for replacement and growth require to blood supply. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important intermediate of locality angiogenesis that product by monocytes and macrophages. This study evaluat...
