background and objective: pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) has been historically the most prevalent opportunisticinfection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiencyvirus. culture of the organism has not been faced with suitable success in artificial media, while various results have been reported for cell culture media. the aim of this study was proliferation of pneumocystis carinii on t...

abstract the antineoplastic activities of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the roots, stems and leaves of isatis campylocarpa an endemic species of the brassicaceae family from iran, investigated on the growth of jurkat as an acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line, k562 as a chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line and fen as a bladder cancer cell line using colorimetric assay. results showed that...

Background and Aims: During the last years a new Foreskin cell line strain (RFSC) has been isolated, characterized and stored in a representative cell bank stock in liquid nitrogen as a part of HCB (Human Cell Bank) development program in Razi institute. Materials and Methods: The cell population was serially passaged for mass production purpose based on WHO schedule .The controls on pool sampl...

Two cases of bilateral shoulder-hand syndrome and symmetrical arthralgia are described in patients with tubo-ovarian carcinoma. Swelling and contracture of the hands continued to develop despite oral corticosteroid therapy, and one patient underwent surgery in an attempt to prevent the development of further deformity.

We describe the first case of bacteremia due to Actinomyces urogenitalis. Bacteremia was secondary to a tubo-ovarian abscess following transvaginal oocyte retrieval. Identification was established by matrix-assisted desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A. urogenitalis should be considered as a potential causative agent ...

Mature cystic teratoma may be complicated by torsion, rupture, and malignant change, but is rarely complicated by infection. Here we report the case of a patient who presented with a tubo-ovarian abscess following a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure in the setting of an ovarian dermoid cyst.

Este trabalho descreve o analisador semi-contínuo (FORMAL-FLU) sensível e seletivo para determinação fluorimétrica de formaldeído no ar atmosférico. O método é baseado na reação entre formaldeído e Fluoral-P, produzindo o derivado fluorescente 3,5-diacetil-1,4-diidrolutidina (DDL), que quando excitado em 410 nm, emite fluorescência em 510 nm. O analisador consiste de uma câmara difusora de gase...

apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an essential physiological process that plays a critical role in development and tissue homeostasis. caspases, a family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases, play a critical role in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. in this study, cytotoxicity and apoptogenic effect of 2-phenyl 4-carboxamide derivatives were evaluated in sknmc (huma...
