We have measured muscle fibre diameters using two methods of interactive computer-aided microscopy. They are simple to perform, reproducible and more convenient than manual methods of measurement. The technique is of general application to histological measurement.

AIMS In the present study, the efficacy of multi-scale photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) was investigated to detect, map, and quantify trace amounts [nanograms (ng) to micrograms (µg)] of SWCNTs in a variety of histological tissue specimens consisting of cancer and benign tissue biopsies (histological specimens from implanted tissue engineering scaffolds). MATERIALS AND METHODS Optical-resolutio...

Background: Imedeen tablets are revolution in anti-aging skincare. This tablets contains Biomarin complex (rich in natural proteins and Marin polysaccharides) and Lycophence GS complex rich in grape seeds extract and lycophence antioxidant,helps to give the skin protection against both direct and indirect damage that caused by free radicals.Cyclophosphamide as an anticancer agent has been known...

One of the major liver fibrogenic activators is the cellular iron overload that can severely damage parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. The aim of this study was to investigate a histochemical staining technique that allows the simultaneous detection of the irregular deposition of matrix collagen and both the amount and distribution of iron in liver cells on the same histological section. Th...

BACKGROUND To compare the corneal healing response between conventional and phototherapeutic keratectomy through a masking agent, in rabbit corneas. METHODS 24 adult rabbits underwent phototherapeutic keratectomy. Animals were divided in two groups: 12 received photoablation through a masking agent (PALM gel) and the remaining 12 received conventional phototherapeutic keratectomy of equal dep...

BACKGROUND The isolated perfused rat liver (IPRL) is a technique used in a wide range of liver studies. Typically livers are assessed at treatment end point. Techniques have been described to biopsy liver in the live rat and post-hepatectomy. RESULTS This paper describes a technique for obtaining two full and one partial lobe biopsies from the liver in situ during an IPRL experiment. Our appr...

Patients with malignant gliomas have a poor prognosis with average survival of less than 1 year. Whereas in other tumor entities the characteristics of tumor metabolism are successfully used for therapeutic approaches, such developments are very rare in brain tumors, notably in gliomas. One metabolic feature characteristic of gliomas, in particular diffuse astrocytomas and oligodendroglial tumo...
