the investigation and determination of the significance of neovascularization in the progression of soft tissue sarcoma is currently of increasing clinical importance. microvessel density is the morphologic evidence of neoangiogenesis in the process of malignant progression of sarcomata. this brief review of the markers commonly used in clinical practice was undertaken to determine the validity...

background since adenoids may act as a reservoir for bacteria, they can cause ear infection, recurrent otitis and recurrent adenotonsillitis. therefore, adenotonsillectomy is an efficient method for reducing the number and severity of subsequent infections. objectives this study aimed to determine the chlamydophila pneumonia infection by serological tests and performing pcr in the adenoid tissu...

introduction :   co 2 (carbon dioxide) laser application in circumcision, for cutting and coagulation, has been reported to have excellent results. also, tissue glue has been reported to have advantages over sutures for approximation of wound edges. most previous studies focused on comparisons between co 2 laser and scalpel, or between tissue glue and sutures. this study prospectively compared ...

who recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (acts) as the most effective choice to treat malaria. for developing transgenic plants with high accumulation of artemisinin (by introducing genes encoding enzymes which regulate the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin), an efficient protocol for tissue culture and plant regeneration is necessary. in the present study, leaf explants of arte...

background celiac disease is an autoimmune mediated small intestine inflammation which is occurred due to hypersensitivity reaction to gluten and related proteins in diet in genetically predisposing individuals. prevalence of celiac among the population is about 0.5 – 1 % in most countries. frequency of celiac disease in children is a subject of few research .in this study, we aim to determine ...

the purpose of this study is to survey cross section changes of the animal brain samples during the tension and compression tests and comparison of the experimental results for three animals: bovine, sheep, and rabbit. a linear elastic theory with considering the necking in tension and barreling in compression has been considered for brain tissue. bridgman method for tension and cross section u...

avian intestinal spirochaetosis (ais) is a condition arising from colonization of the caeca and colon of birds with anaerobic spirochaetes of the genus brchyspira. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate pcr amplification from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue method for detecting infected laying hens with brachyspira pilosicoli  with the same primers that have been used for det...

objective: at present, growth factor-containing products such as enamel matrix derivatives, recombinant bone morphogenetic protein (rh-bmp), recombinant platelet derived growth factor and platelet rich plasma (prp) have gained increasing attention. prp is an autologous source of platelet growth factors used to enhance healing of soft and hard tissues. prp has gained popularity due to its autolo...

results the accuracy for detecting number of main renal arteries were not different in both groups which were 96.7% in ct angiography group and 90% in traditional angiography group (p = 0.15). the accuracy for detection of main renal veins were 100% in group 1 and 96.7% in group 2 (p = 0.31). patients and methods a total number of 60 living kidney donors who underwent open surgical approach for...
