We report the enhanced augmentation of cardiac output in a 60-year-old man who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent implantation for a large anteroseptal ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. Because of persistent systemic hypotension during the procedure, a 50cc, 8-Fr Mega intra-aortic balloon was inserted, used for 24 hours, and removed without complicati...

introduction: bone marrow (bm) is a known source of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) that are used for cell therapy. this study attempts to identify if the wharton’s jelly (wj) is a suitable substitute for bm as a source for mscs. materials and methods: a population of human wj and bm stem cells were isolated and incubated with fluorescein conjugated antibodies for five specific msc markers. cell ...

breakthrough management (bm) is a kind of an essential organizational creativity emphasized on change and transformation with relying on the theory of transformational leadership. rather than being step by step process, changes in bm seems like a move ahead rapidly. this quality is expected to cause an essential and rapid transformation in business settings. the existing research aimed to inves...

conclusions our findings showed that the treatment of flaps with bm-msc and aam transplantations significantly promoted flap survival compared to a control group. the viability of the flap was improved by combining bm-mscs with aam matrix scaffolds. materials and methods bm-mscs and aams were transplanted into subcutaneous tissue in the flap area. on the 7th postoperative day, the surviving fla...

in this paper by using the notiαon of anti fuzzy points and its besideness to andnon-quasi-coincidence with a fuzzy set the concepts of an anti fuzzy subalgebrasin bm-algebras are generalized and their inter-relations and related propertiesare investigated.

Background: Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal that has devastating effects on many animal tissues. In this study we investigated the effects of orally-dosed lead acetate II on osteocalcin gene (osteocalcin) expression in mesenchymal stem cells grown in an osteogenic medium. Osteocalcin is an abundant bone matrix differentiation protein. Methods: Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into three groups ...
