A 50-year-old woman with a large right breast mass was emergently hospitalized for generalized weakness and fatigue. A histological examination of tumor biopsy specimens revealed a phyllodes tumor (PT). She suddenly lost consciousness due to severe hypoglycemia. Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) due to the PT was suspected. The tumor was emergently resected. A histological examination r...

objective adult stem cells which are derived from different tissues, with their unique abilities to self-renew and differentiate into various phenotypes have the potential for cell therapy and tissue engineering. human adipose tissue is an appropriate source of mesenchymal stem cells with wide differentiation potential for tissue engineering research. in this study isolated stem cells from huma...

Pilocytic astrocytoma sometimes transforms to a malignant type, and previous radiation therapy is considered to be a key factor. We report a case of pilocytic astrocytoma with histological malignant features without previous radiation therapy. A 21-year-old man presented a sudden onset of severe headache. Neuroimaging had detected a cystic mass in the posterior fossa at the age of one year with...

Melatonin has diverse effects, and been reported to promote bone formation in addition regulating the sleep–wake cycle. In present study, we investigated effects of melatonin on metabolism using ovariectomized (OVX) rats; a model postmenopausal osteoporosis. Here, focused differences when was subcutaneous injected at day or early night. The OVX rats were with once daily (0.8 8 mg/head) between ...

â  â  background esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc) is usually detected in advanced stages resulting in a very poor prognosis. early diagnoâ­sis needs identification of clinically relevant precancerous lesions which could become the target of screening and early treatment. our aim was to check whether esophagitis could serve as a relevant histological precursor of escc in northern iran. ...

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the protective effects of alcoholic aqueous extracts lyophilized kiwifruit on acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by glycerol in male albino rats.
 Methods: Rats were divided into four groups: negative control healthy group, group (administered glycerol), AKI rats treated with ethanolic extract group. Kidney biomarkers, oxidative stress, in...

Objective(s):To study the effect of low-frequency vibration on bone marrow stromal cell differentiation and potential bone repair in vivo. Materials and Methods:Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups with eight rabbits in each group. For each group, bone defects were generated in the left humerus of four rabbits, and in the right humerus of the other four rabbits. To t...
