Background: 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has a poor penetrance of the skin with topical application, which reduces efficacy Photodynamic therapy (PDT). Sonophoresis involves use sound waves or ultrasonic energy to enhance transdermal delivery drugs. The purpose this study was investigate effects sonophoresis on penetration 5-ALA into skin. Methods: We calculatedin vitrotransdermal accumulation...

This research aims to create a model for acculturation dialogue between representatives of religion, local wisdom, and power.

Objective: to study the effects of GHK peptide and its structure analogues on mechanisms innate immunity lipid peroxidation in wound. Materials methods. The experiments were performed 70 male Wistar rats. skin wound was modeled by applying a full-layer with an area 250 mm2 animal's back. peptides Gly-His-Lys (GHK), D-Ala-Gly-His-Lys (D-Ala-GHK), Gly-His-Lys-D-Ala (GHK-D-Ala) used doses 0.5 μg/k...

As there was not any previous comprehensive study on the serological tests for hepatic amebiasis in Iran, the indirect hemagglutination (IHA), indirect fluorescent antibody (IF A), and biocolored latex agglutination (BLA) tests were evaluated in the serodiagnosis of amebic liver abscess(ALA). For this purpose a total of 165 serum samples 18 of which were obtained from patients known to have...

5-Aminolevulenic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound in all living mammalian cells.13 ALA is formed within the mitochondria from glycine and metabolized along a pathway in the cytosol and mitochondria into protoporphyrin-IX (PpIX) before combining with ferrous to form heme.6,12,14,15 The transformation from PpIX to heme is a rate-limiting step in all tumor cells leading to accumulation...

A 20-year-old girl first notice bilateral ocular muscle weakness in 2001. Two months later, she developed acute muscle paralysis and respiratory failure which required ventilation. Serum anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies and repetitive nerve stimulation test was positive and consistent with myasthenia gravis (MG). CT scan thorax revealed thymic enlargement and she underwent a video assiste...
