objective(s) there are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (ir) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. the aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal ir. materials and methods inbred mice in ir donor group were subjected to renal ir injury. in sham donor ...

background: nanoparticles have become one of the leading technologies over the past two years. the extensive use of nanoparticles has raised great concern about their occupational fate and biological effects. with an increase in the production and use of nanomaterial, it is more likely to get exposed to them occupationally and environmentally. objective: to assess the toxicity of silver nanopar...

background: exercise and consumption of green tea affect the aging process. however, the effect of exercise training combined with green tea extract on leukocyte telomere length, quality of life (qol) and body composition in aging has so far been unclear and inconsistent. objective: the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic training intervention and green tea ex...

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is a heterogeneous heritable disease characterized by arrest in b cell differentiation. an association between cvid and two hla haplotypes, haplotype i (hla-a1, hla-b8, hla-dr3) and haplotype ii (hla-a29, hla-b44, hladr7)has been previously documented. in the present study, we have attempted to find an association between susceptibility to cvid and hla cl...

allergic airway inflammation is characterized by elaboration of cytokines and chemokines leading to recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes, predominantly eosinophils, to the airways. granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (gm-csf) is generated in the lungs of human subjects with asthma in response to allergen challenge and is necessary for the development of allergen-induced bronchial...

purpose: to image leukocyte adherence to the vascular endothelium and extravasation into surrounding tissues in neovascularized corneas using acridine orange, a selective dna stain, in rats methods: corneal neovascularization was induced by placing two sutures in the cornea of one eye of 12 long-evans rats. one week later, acridine orange (4 mg/kg) was injected via the tail vein and the eyes we...
