objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the population of natural killer t lymphocyte (nkt) in the uterus and spleen of the hyperstimulated and control mice at the seventh day of pregnancy. materials and methods: the superovulated and control mice were put individually in a cage with a male mouse. in the next morning they were considered for observing the vaginal plag. the...

background: ionizing radiation induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ros), which play an important causative role in cell death. wholebody exposure of mice to gamma radiation leads to diminution of tissue antioxidant defense systems increases the peroxidative damage to membrane lipids and damages the haematopoietic and gastrointestinal systems. tempol (tpl), a cell membranepermeabl...

Cartilaginous fish species have ecological importance. Besides, the ecotoxicological studies on these are pretty insufficient. In this study, Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, Cd, and Sr levels were determined in muscle, liver, gill, kidney, spleen, stomach, gonad tissues of Alopias superciliosus (Female, 240 cm TL) caught from Mersin Bay. Tissue metal analysis was by Inductively Coupled Plasma M...

Objective(s): It is now supposed that cytokines released during the burn injuries have a great impact on the immunological and pathological responses after the burn. The main objective of this study was to investigate the expression of some pro-inflammatory genes in the wound, spleen and blood neutrophils during the healing process of burn wounds in a murine model. Materials and Methods: The ex...

In this study, the histochemical effects of Brodifacoum, an anticoagulant used against rodents, on spleen are examined under a light microscope using CD4 and CD8 staining methods. A single dose 0.2 mg Brodifacoum was dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) given orally to mature male rats. Spleen samples were collected ether anesthesia after 24 h, 72 14 days, 30 days from rats experimental group...

Sigmoid volvulus can lead to life-threatening complications. We report a splenic capsule avulsion injury requiring laparotomy as complication of sigmoid volvulus. A 73-year-old woman was admitted with abdominal distension, rigidity, and tenderness. CT abdomen revealed hemoperitoneum along possible The patient required an emergent exploratory due acute hemodynamic instability. left colectomy, on...

Spontaneous, atraumatic rupture of the spleen is an uncommon but potentially fatal cause acute abdominal pain. Splenic abscesses are equally rare and can be a risk factor for spontaneous splenic rupture. We present 45-year-old man with no past medical or surgical history who presented worsening left upper pain that had been months, was discovered to have ruptured spleen. abscess intra-operative...

Follicular dendritic cell sarcomas (FDCS) are spindle lesions that large, slow-growing masses in either nodal or extranodal regions both and originate from B-cell follicles of the lymph nodes. Most tumors cervical nodes, but retroperitoneal mediastinal origins have also been reported. Extranodal areas include soft tissues, skin, tonsils, gastrointestinal tract, liver, spleen. The spleen is an u...
