abstractbackgroundline of treatment for management of hydrocephalus despite available new techniques andsystems of shunting. associated complications should be recognized and managed properly,but the most recognized complications are shunt obstruction which its prevalencethrough surgical approach is discussed here. two approaches (frontal and parietal) are usedto insert ventriculoperitoneal shu...

Osteoclasts are induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B (RANK) ligand (RANKL). Monocyte/macrophage lineages thought to be osteoclast precursors; however, such cells have not been fully characterized owing a lack tools for their identification. Osteoclast precursors express (CSF-1R) RANK. However, the capacity conventional methods usi...

The aim of this study was to determine whether anthocyanins and their phase II metabolites permeate the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (B-CSF-B) sheep profile these compounds in biofluids after chokeberry intraruminal administration. Anthocyanins were analyzed using micro-HPLC-MS/MS. After administration, absorbed occurred body fluids mainly form methylated, glucuronidated, sulfated derivati...

Human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) cDNA was expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris under the control of the alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoter. An expression vector for hG-CSF secretion was constructed using vector pPIC9. Higher levels of hG-CSF was obtained using a P. pastoris Mut+ (methanol utilization fast) phenotype. The effects of environmental factors such as...

background: neonatal deaths mostly occur within the first one week and first 24 hours of life from a variety of conditions. objective: to examine the role of significant hypothermia and hypoglycaemia, in addition to some other factors, in neonatal mortality occurring within the first 24 hours of admission.methods: a prospective study of newborn infants hospitalized within the first 24 hours of ...

Hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (hipp-NS/PCs) of the adult mammalian brain are important sources of neuronal and gial cell production. In this study, the main goal is to investigate the plasticity of these cells in neuronal/astroglial differentiations. To this end, the differentiation of the hipp-NS/PCs isolated from 3-month-old Wistar rats was investigated in response to the embryonic...
