Background: The search for potent radioprotective agents for the amelioration of radiation side effect is an important aim in radiobiology. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of curcumin and seleno-L-methionine against radiation-induced micronucleus formation in rat bone marrow.Methods: In total, 40 male rats were divided into 8 groups (n=5 each), including control, curcumin or sel...

Compounds based on cerium are highly promising objects in biotechnology regarding their high biological activities such as antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, neuro- and radioprotective action, antioxidant activity. On basis is possible to develop compositions capable of activating the systems cellular humoral immune defence use them for prevention therapy viral diseases, which makes it achie...

Psoriasis is now more recognized as a chronic-lymphocyte mediated inflammatory and proliferous skin disease. In European countries, the prevalence of psoriasis 1%~3%, so study very important. With immune pathogenesis progress genetic engineering technology, it has been gradually developed wide range biological agents, And achieved good results in clinical trials or treatment. This paper discuss...
