introduction: tomographical maps from the serial sections for light microscopy were prepared and reconstructed by autocad software. materials and methods: in this study, the three-dimensional reconstruction method was used and the following results were obtained (see below). results: 1) the surface ectodermal epithelium was thick and invaginated. 2) the invagination of surface ectodemal epithel...

background: the global prevalence of diabetes mellitus is on rise. diabetes-induced oxidative stress has been known to affect liver, pancreas, kidney and reproductive organs pathologically. honey is a natural product of bee with antioxidant properties. objective: current study aimed to analyze the protective effects of metformin (mf) alone and mf+ natural honey co-administration on diabetes-ind...

abstract the saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) is an important physical property of soil. the direct measurement of this property in soils is a difficult and time consuming process. pedotransfer functions (ptfs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data. the objective of this study is to determine effective factors on soil hydraulic conductiv...

background: the langerhans cells (lcs) are dendritic cells (dcs) which belong to the group of antigen presenting cells (apcs). their function is to recognize the antigen, capture it, and present it to the t lymphocytes; thus initiating an early immune response. the antigen presenting functional lcs may play an important part in initiation and development of gingivitis. the aim of this study was...

This research aims to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract (MLE) on diameter and epithelium thickness seminiferous tubules rats induced with gentamicin. study used 25 male (Rattus norvegicus) aged 8-12 weeks 150-200 grams body weight. Negative control group (C-) was injected aquadest given 0.5% Na-CMC orally, positive (C+) gentamicin injection 5 mg/kg BW/day while groups T1, T2...

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of amniotic fluid in defects epithelial tissue cornea. In study, 14 New Zealand rabbits, which were experimentally created with a 3 mm diameter full-thickness defect corneal epithelium, used. After rabbits randomly divided into two groups, applied first group (AF) and saline solution second (CG) three times day for 20 days. Clinical exam...

The aim of this study is to determine the morphology of the vomeronasal organ in Angora goats (Capra hircus). The heads of eight adult Angora goats (Capra hircus) obtained from the slaughterhouse were used as materials. Six heads with vomeronasal organ were examined by macro and micro dissections, the others were removed from the longitudinal ridge of mucosa in the ventral portion of the nasal ...

The diameter of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $diam(G)$, is the maximum distance between any pair of vertices of $G$. Let $L(G)$ be the line graph of $G$. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which for a given integer $k geq 2$, $diam(L(G)) leq k$.

PURPOSE The goal of the present research was to study post-treatment changes in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) shown by optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS The study included 12 patients with naive PCV. Photodynamic therapy and 3 consecutive intravitreal bevacizumab injections at 6-week intervals were given. Best corrected visual acuity, subretinal fluid (SRF), pigment epithe...

This report is related to a female 7-year-old crossbreed sheep whose right eye had been protruded andswelling of upper eyelid was observed. Routine enucleating was performed. Histopathological evaluation ofeyelid revealed coincidence of two kinds of neoplasms. The first part was composed of multiple lobules ofsebocytes, which were detected as meibomian adenoma. The second section included infil...
