Background: Recent clinical studies of treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) with autologous adult stem cells led us to compare effect of intravenous injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, induced by granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), in rats with a cortical compact device. Methods: Forty adult male Wistar rats w...

Isolated traumatic cuboid dislocation is a rare injury of which ten cases has been only reported. The reported case in this article is a 12-year old boy who had felt from height and his cuboid bone was dislocated due to severe inversion and plantarflexion injury to the foot. There was not anyother fracturedislocation in his extremity. Closed reduction was unsuccessful therefore the bone was red...

Introduction: The low regeneration of bone in defective bones causes therapeutic problems. Various strategies to assess the healing of bone defects have been used which they include histological and histo-chemical analysis in an invasive study. The purpose of this study was to determine the ultrasonic parameters of bone as a promising noninvasive technology for assessing bone repair process. Ma...

Objective: Femur is the strongest, longest and heaviest bone in the human body. Due to the great importance of femur in human body, its injury may cause large numbers of disabilities and mortality. Considering various effective parameters such as mechanical properties, geometry, loading configuration, etc. can propel the study to the trustable results.. Methods: A 3D finite element model of the...

volar lunate dislocation is the fourth and last stage of perilunate dislocation. it is an uncommon injury of the wrist and its bilateral occurrence is so rare that only one case has been reported in the literature. we are presenting the second case of this kind of wrist injury, its treatment and outcome. keywords : lunate bone, perilunate, volar plate, bilateral, dislocation.

helicobacter pylori was the main cause of gastric cancer (gc) in all over the world that results in intestinal- and diffuse-type carcinoma. infection by this bacterium remains chronic for a long time. in vitro studies have highlighted the role of stem cells in gc. h. pylori infection results in tissue injury and the adult/tissue stem cells subsequently start to replace the dead cells. the genet...

Background: Spinal cord has a limited capacity to repair therefore, medical interventions are necessary for treatment of injuries. Transplantation of Schwann cells has shown a great promising result for spinal cord injury (SCI). However, harvesting Schwann cell has been limited due to donor morbidity and limited expansion capacity. Furthermore, accessible sources such as bone marrow stem cells ...
