Cryobanking and transplantation of ovarian tissue is a promising approach to restore fertility in cancer patients. However, ischemic stress following avascular ovarian cortex grafting is known to induce stromal tissue fibrosis and alterations in follicular development. The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of freeze-thawing and grafting procedures on gene expression in human ovarian ti...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) envisage a potential biomaterial alternative to replacing synthetic polymers for their biodegradability and biocompatibility. Modification approaches exploit the attributes adjust intrinsic hydrophobic properties, such as blending produce new polymer mix with novel properties. Functionalization of PHA, especially chemical grafting, perform introduce additional compou...

abstract background and objectives: patients are oriented towards spirituality after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). the aim of this study was to explore the patients’ spiritual experiences after cabg. methods: this qualitative study was conducted using hermeneutic phenomenology. 11 participants (7 males and 4 females) were interviewed in tehran heart center hospital in 2013 using maxim...

Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery October-December 2016, Volume 9, Issue 4 286 Dear Editor, Surgical intervention in stable vitiligo is classified broadly as tissue grafting and cellular grafting.[1] Split‐thickness skin grafting, mini punch grafting, suction blister grafting and follicular unit extraction constitute tissue grafting, whereas non‐cultured epidermal cell suspension is an...

Bioactive glasses (BGs) are promising for bone tissue regeneration. BG composition can be tailored, according to the application of interest, and/or functionalized with organic molecules/biomolecules improve their performances. However, despite wide knowledge concerning BGs, interaction proteins, fundamental controlling fate implant, has not been deeply investigated yet. Controlling or predicti...

Increasing regulations and restrictions regarding on-farm chemical use growing consumer demands for organic food products warrant the development of efficient biological methods plant disease control pest management. Grafting anaerobic soil disinfestation are two sustainable crop production techniques developed to regulate weeds, root-knot nematodes ( Meloidogyne incognita ), soilborne pathogen...

BACKGROUND The issue of superiority of single internal thoracic artery grafting versus bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting remains unresolved. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcome of single and bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting with concomitant saphenous vein grafting for multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS Between March 1985 and April ...

This paper focuses on the effect of okra bast fillers biodegradation poly(vinyl alcohol) composites. Fibers were obtained from plant stems via biological degumming and subjected to different chemical treatments such as scouring, alkalizing, maleic anhydride treatment, vinyl acetate grafting. The fibers ground PVA-okra filler composites produced at 20 wt% fiber load solution casting method. test...
