Objective: Saffron petal is a by-product that contains flavonoids and anthocyanins. In order to study the effects of saffron petal extract (SPE) on blood parameters, immune system, and spleen histology, five treatments (n=6) were used in a completely randomized design. Materials and Methods: The treatments were 0, 75, 150, 225, and 450 mg/kg body weight of SPE. The SPE was injected intraperiton...

nineteen patterns with cml have been transplanted in our bone marrow transplantation (bmt) section since 1991, the mean age of these patients was 26.05 (sd = 9.35). our conditioning regimen for these patients was cyclophosphamide 60mglkg for 2 days and busulfan 4mglkg for 4 consecutive days. eleven patients are still alive arid eight patients died during follow-up ranging from 6 months to 5 yea...

Postmortem examination of a 5.5-year-old Holstein cow with history of sudden death showed a veryhuge spleen (120 × 45 × 10 cm) associated with severe haemoperitoneum. Histopathological findingsincluded extensive infiltration of medium to large sized lymphocytic and lymphoblastic cells with smallamounts of cytoplasm, round nuclei with coarsely granular chromatin in the spleen, and limited foci o...

Noncytotoxic, MOPC-315 tumor bearer spleen cells were converted to a cytotoxic state by in vitro activation with MOPC-315 stimulatortumor cells.The levelof in vitro cytotoxicity exhibited by activated spleen cells from mice bearing small tumors was similar to that of activated spleen cells from normal mice while that exhibited by activated spleen cells from mice beaming large tumors was much lo...

Introduction We describe the case of a female child with MSD who received intravenous (IV) trehalose (15 g/week) for three months. Material and methods The efficacy was evaluated by comparing serum biomarkers, quality-of-life questionnaire (HRQoL), imaging (brain MRI ultrasonography liver spleen) at weeks 0 (W0) 12 (W12). Results improvement in quality life assessments along slight decrease spl...

Assessment of spleen size using the ultrasonography has become a standard practice in human. However, the assessment is not established method in experimental animals. To establish the index to assess the spleen size using ultrasonography, we measured the cross-section image of rabbit spleen during endotoxin shock. The image of the cross-section was appeared as triangle, and the height of the t...

Congenital abnormalities of the spleen are not uncommon. Commonest abnormality is the occurrence of accessory spleens (splenunculi). However the presence of a second spleen is very rare. While the size and shape of an accessory spleen can vary markedly, a second spleen is almost identical to the normal spleen morphologically. Torsion in a second spleen is a rare clinical entity and its diagnosi...

This case report of a rare condition involving situs inversus partialis, wandering spleen, and single atrium. Situs partialis is congenital developmental defect in which the abdominal or thoracic organs are reversed to opposite side body across sagittal plane. The highlights anomaly diagnostic management complexities associated with this condition. patient has survived age 24, despite presence ...

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a benign vascular lesion arising in the spleen. Although this has characteristic radiological findings on both computerised tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, it may pose difficulty distinguishing rare entity from other lesions of spleen clinically radiologically. We report case 46-year-old man with splenic soft ti...
