Occurrence of adhesions after pelvic and abdominal surgery is a well known problem. Previous surgical procedures are by far the most common cause of intra abdominal a adhesion. In over  10℅ of infertile women, adhesion formation is the main cause of their problem. Moreover postoperative adhesions are the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in the Western world. Although the cause of ...

The hallmarks of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) are defects in the leukocyte adhesion process, marked leukocytosis and recurrent infections. These molecular and clinical manifestations result from an impaired step in the inflammatory process, namely, the emigration of leukocytes from the blood vessels to sites of infection, which requires adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium. Over las...

Polypropylene (PP) has poor adhesion to metals and other surfaces for its chemical structure. Hence, chemical modification of PP is necessary for metal surface coating application. In this research, grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto co(propylene-b-ethylene) in the presence of a dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was accomplished in a single screw extruder. Characteristics of the modified polymer were ...

objective: acinetobacter baumannii (a. baumannii) has a good potential to colonize on various surfaces. as a virulence factor, adhesion to surfaces is the first step in colonization. the two-partner secretion system (tps) proteins are key factors for bacterial attachment. the purpose of this study is to identify and study the role of this family of proteins in adhesion of a. baumannii to human ...

Objectives: Postsurgical adhesion is one of the common complications after surgery. Some anti-adhesion barriers are commercially available which are not customary used by physicians as much as expected because of ineffectiveness. Recently, nanofibers have been introduced as anti-adhesion barriers with t...

the adhesive interaction between tumor cells and the host cells or the extracellular matrix plays a crucial role in tumor metastasis. to evaluate the mediation of cell adhesion by daphne mucronata, an anti-cancer medicinal plant in iranian folk medicine, the adhesion of thrombin activated human platelets to the cultured monocytes or hl-60 cells was investigated under the effect of the plant ext...

objective(s)the purpose of this study holds, for the first time, an evaluation of the intraperitoneal curcumin lavage on the development of post-operative intra-abdominal adhesions.materials and methodsthirty male wistar rats were randomized into five groups. the rats were administered anesthesia and underwent surgery in order to create intra-abdominal adhesions. before the abdomen was closed, ...
