Background: Using herbs for the treatment of diseases has a long history. Chelidonium majus from the family of Papaveraceae is one of the best-known and most widely used herbs used in traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to review its active components, as well as its therapeutic and toxic effects on body tissues. Methods: This short o...

Background: in radiation treatment of moving targets located in thorax region of patient body, the delivered dose does not match with the planned treatment, resulting in some over and under dosage in the tumor volume, as a function of motion magnitude and frequency. Several efforts have been done to investigate the target motion effects on dose distribution in the target and surrounding normal ...

67gallium-bleomycin complex (67ga-blm) was prepared using thakour method. radio-thin-layer-chromatography of prepared complex showed a2 and b2 radiopeaks with rf at 0.7 and 0.4 respectively with a purity of above % 95. tissue uptake of 67ga-blm and 67gacl3 in twelve tissues including tumor, blood, liver, lung, spleen, muscle, skin, heart, kidney, colon, colon content ,bladder and the total body...

reactive oxygen species (ros) are generated by normal metabolic processes or from exogenous insults and chemical agents. they are capable of damaging essential biomolecules and accelerating cancer, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. in the present study, the antioxidant role of terminalia chebula aqueous extract was evaluated against age-related oxidative stress in heart ti...

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor that regulates cellular metabolism. When activated by a deficit in nutrient status, AMPK stimulates glucose uptake and lipid oxidation to produce energy, while turning off energy-consuming processes including glucose and lipid production to restore energy balance. AMPK controls whole-body glucose homeostasis by regulating metabolism in mul...

A dynamic mechanistic model of homeorhetic and homeostatic controls of pig growth was developed. The homeorhetic principles were based on changes in time of fractional rates of anabolism and catabolism of tissues. A minimum number of homeostatic principles integrated current data on plasma kinetics and the partitioning of nutrients between anabolism and catabolism of body tissues, and endogenou...

TE applies different methods to rebuild a new functioning tissue for replacement of its lost body part. Advantages on this approach are the utilization of patient’s own tissues, reducing rejection, corticoids and immunosuppressors administration. Animal work may not be needed as human cells and scaffolds of human or biomaterials are utilized. The drawbacks are still long-term patient ́s tissue l...
