conclusions the outcome of this study is that the oca has no toxic effect on h9c2 cells. results the results showed that the percentage of survived cells amount of extract dilution ratio (1:4; 1:2; 1) were 80.4%; 79.6%, 77.5% respectively. analysis of statistical test results does not show any significant differences between the optical density of the extract dilutions, and the control group in...

background:   although the majority of soft tissue masses are benign, it is important to consider malignancy in differential diagnoses. because most soft tissue sarcomas present as a painless mass, clinicians must watch for signs suggestive of malignancy, including large size, rapid growth, and site deep into the deep fascia.the purpose of this study was to determine the relative prevalence acc...

metabolic syndrome is a chronic low-grade inflammation condition which is associated with central obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hypertension. inflammation in metabolic syndrome is not only associated with elevated serum inflammatory markers, such as c-reactive protein (crp), but also, is associated with low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue and releasing of adipokines. higher...

introduction: diode laser with wavelengths ranging from 810 to 980 nm in a continuous or pulsed mode was used as a possible instrument for soft tissue surgery in the oral cavity. discussion: diode laser is one of laser systems in which photons are produced by electric current with wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980nm. the application of diode laser in soft tissue oral surgery has been evaluated fr...

background neck reconstruction is considered as one of the most important surgeries in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. the present study aimed to assess the results of reconstructive surgery of extensive face and neck burning scars using tissue expanders. methods this descriptive prospective study was conducted on 36 patients with extensive burning scars on the neck and face. operation for...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sucrose on follicular survival rate and the incidence of apoptosis in rat ovarian tissue following vitrification. methods: ovaries of approximately 5-week-old female wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups: control (non-vitrified), vi (ethylene glycol + dimethyl sulfoxide) and vii (eg + dmso + 0.25 mol/lit sucrose). vit...

leaf and root explants from 10 to 20 day– old seedlings of plantago lanceolata, were cultured on ms, msh, nt and b5 basal media with various concentrations of different plant growth regulators. the best callus induction was obtained with 0.4 mgl-1 2,4-d in msh i with 400 callus index. callus growth was significantly stimulated (p=0.05)with 0.8 mgl-1 2,4-d and 0.1 mgl-1 kin in msh ii, with 7...

introduction: the phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (stfbs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulat...

abstract gerbera is one of the most demanded plants in commercial cut flowers plants. optimizing the micro-propagation of new cultivars is therefore important. in this research “red explosion” cultivar was used and capitola (as explants) were directed to a modified solid murashigue and skoog medium with four concentration of tdz (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 mgl-1) for regeneration. three concentr...
