purpose : to report an unusual presentation of chandler syndrome case report : a 22-year-old female came to our clinic with complaint of progressive visual loss in her left eye since three days ago. she had a history of trauma with finger-nail to her left eye eight days ago and had been managed with topical antibiotic. in her examination, the left eye had visual acuity (va) of counting finger a...

calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is very rare. maxillary tumors tend to be locally aggressive and may rapidly involve the surrounding vital structures.  we report a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving maxillary sinus in a 48 years old female patient with the oral mucosal involvement. the purpose o...

purpose: to report two cases of secondary epithelial iris cyst (seic) with pus-like precepitates in the cyst. patients and findings: two young men with history of penetrating trauma to the eye and primary repair developed secondary epithelial iris cyst several years later. slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed a large cyst originating from the site of the laceration. the cyst was filled with pus-lik...

ABSTRACT Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of fluorofenidone against transforming growth factor β2-induced proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human lens epithelial cell line FHL 124 its potential mechanism. Methods: We evaluated on vitro. After treatment with 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0 mg/mL fluorofenidone, was measured via MTT assay. Cell...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is more aggressive and has poorer prognosis compared to other subtypes of cancer. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) a process in which epithelial cells transform into mesenchymal-like capable migration, invasion, metastasis. Recently, we have demonstrated that lovastatin, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor lipid-lowering drug,...

primary splenic cyst is a rare entity and majority of the cases are classified as epithelial cysts. they are uncommon, comprising only about 10% of benign non-parasitic cysts. most of the cysts are asymptomatic, and they are incidental findings during abdominal ultrasonography. we report a case of 20 years old male who presented with 1 year history of mild abdominal pain and left upper quadrant...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), such as E. coli O157:H7, are emerging food-borne pathogens worldwide. This micro-organism can damage the epithelial tissue of the large intestine. The cytotoxic effects can be neutralized by probiotics such as Bifidobacterium bifidum. Probiotics are viable cells that have beneficial effects on the health of the host. The preventing activity of B. bifid...

Epithelial cells are important in the regeneration of oral mucosal tissue. The cell source is commonly derived from tissue biopsy, which obtained through surgery. Stem human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) were demonstrated to differentiate into multiple types. As it can be readily available teeth, induced and become a potential epithelial for study. This study aims examine mixture growth fac...
