PURPOSE This study investigated the ability of hesperetin, a natural flavonoid, to prevent selenite-induced cataracts in a rat model. METHODS Animals were divided into four treatment groups: G1 (control group), G2 (hesperetin-treated group), G3 (selenite-induced cataract group), and G4 (hesperetin-treated selenite cataract group). Animals in the G1 and G3 groups were injected with vehicle alo...

Introduction Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common type of breast cancer in women and accounts for about 80% of all breast cancers. Material and methods The material consisted of histological preparations derived from 691 patients treated for IDC-NST. Results In our own study material, invasive ductal breast cancer of no special type accounted for more than 60% of cases, with t...

Prostate cancer is known for its highly heterogeneous histological appearance. Data concerning the cytogenetic content of areas with different histology are sparse. We have genetically evaluated 10 prostatic adenocarcinomas with intermediate histopathological grades (Gleason score 7) that showed two distinctive growth patterns with different pathologies, that is, Gleason grades 3 and 4 (G3 and ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Spinal morphine promotes adequate pain relief, but is not free from side effects. This study aimed at investigating the effects of different spinal morphine doses. METHODS Five groups of seven rats were studied, 24 h after spinal catheter insertion via cisterna magna under anesthesia with muscular ketamine and xylazine. G1 received 10 microl saline solution; groups G...

Malpura and Kheri ewes (76) in their late gestation, weighing 34.40±0.95 kg were randomly selected and divided into 4 groups of 19 each (G1, G2, G3 and G4). Ewes in all the groups were grazed on natural rangeland from 07.00 h to 18.00 h. Ewes in G1were maintained on sole grazing while ewes in G2, G3 and G4, in addition to grazing received concentrate mixture at the rate of 1% of their body weig...

this study was carried out at sakha animal production research station, during the period from oct., 2009 to sept., 2010. forty rahmani ewes were divided into three treatment groups: the 1st, 2nd and 3rd treatment groups were intramuscularly injected (day 0) with 1 ml gnrh analogue followed by an intramuscular injection with 0.7 ml pgf2α5 (g1), 6 (g2) or 7 (g3) days later. a second dose of 1 ml...

A significant increase in breast cancer (BC) rates has been observed among pre-menopausal woman. Considering the higher number of patients (pts) who have not completed their family planning and impact age on fertility, fertility preservation (FP) is proving to be a major challenge. Gemme Dormienti Onlus (GD) an italian association that helps pts by promoting valid model FP counselling. Our aim ...

Dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles can be synthesized by Pt2þ coordination with dendrimers followed by reduction. In the present study, we have systematically investigated the coordination kinetics of PtCl4 2 with fourth-generation hydroxyl-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM G4-OH) dendrimers using UV vis spectroscopy measurements. Our experimental investigation clarifies that Pt2þ coordin...

The problem of the classification exact solutions to Maxwell’s vacuum equations for admissible electromagnetic fields and homogeneous space-time with group motions G3(VIII) according Bianchi is considered. All non-equivalent are found. remaining groups motion, G3(N), has already been solved in other papers. empty Maxwell all spaces now known.
