background: infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) is the causative agent of avian infectious bronchitis, which is characterized by respiratory, reproductive, and renal signs. ibv is a highly variable virus with a large number of genotypes. s1 gene sequencing has been used for molecular epidemiological studies and genotypic characterization of ibv. objective: to better understand the molecular epide...

hepatic and renal contents of essential trace elements provide good clues to monitor the nutritional status of grazing animals. liver and kidney samples were collected from 60 sheep and 60 goats slaughtered in zarrinshahr abattoirs and analyzed for essential trace elements. hepatic fe concentrations were significantly higher in sheep than goats. there were also higher renal and hepatic fe conce...

the aim of this study was to detect the glutathione s-transferase(gst) enzyme activity of healthy / cystic liver as a diagnostic biomarker for hydatidosis. in order to compare with liver tissue, the level of the gsts enzyme activity of parasite was also determined.parasites were collected from sheep liver tissue with hydatid cysts at a local abattoir and washed with pbs buffer. collected parasi...

Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. were injected intraperitoneally with infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV)-infective tissue homogenate to clarify the tissue distribution of ISAV in a time course study. Fish were sampled at 11 different intervals between 1 and 40 d post-infection (p.i.) and mid-kidney, head kidney, liver, spleen, intestine, gills, muscle and heart were tested for the presence of...

One hundred twenty-four patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at the Karolinska University Hospital, Solna from 2002 to 2005 were included in the STAGE study. Exclusion criteria were severe diseases (e.g., cancer, kidney disease, and chronic systemic inflammatory diseases) other than coronary artery disease (CAD). The number of surgeons collecting tissue samples...

Background: Cadmium (Cd) is not considered as essential element for living organisms, therefore its presence in tissues is considered as toxic element. From food hazards control point of view, information on the distribution of these toxic elements in the animal tissues is very important. The present study was designed to evaluate Cd distribution pattern in kidney and liver of broiler chicken. ...

urtica dioica l. is an iranian native pharmacological plant for which little attention has been paid to the anatomical structure. medical applications of this plant include diabetes therapy, digestive improvement, anemia and kidney disease therapy. because climatic conditions can affect the anatomical structure which in turn affects pharmacological compositions, research on the anatomy of this ...

Bladder cancer (BC) ranks the second most common genitourinary tract malignant tumor with high mortality and 70% recurrence rate worldwide. MiRNAs expression has noticeable role in bladder tumorigenesis. The purpose of this study was to assess miR-200c, miR-30b and miR-141 in tissue samples of patients with BC and healthy adjacent tissue samples and their association with muscle invasion, grade...
