amyloidoma or amyloid tumor is a tumor-like localized deposit of amyloid encountered occasionally in association with multiple myeloma, various chronic inflammatory diseases and primary amyloidosis. amyloid tumors unassociated with plasmacytoma or other disease are extremely rare in soft tissues and few cases in various situations have been reported. histologic examination discloses amorphous e...

Amyloid tumors unassociated with plasmacytoma or other disease are extremely rare in soft tissues and few cases in various situations have been reported. Histologic examination discloses amorp...

background and aims: plants as medicines have always played a vital role in human life. tumor necrosis factor alpha (tnf)-α is one of the macrophage-derived inflammatory cytokine with pleotropic effects in the inflammation process. some studies have been demonstrated that some of the echinops species have anti-inflammatory activity. in fact, echinops lasilepis is introduced as one of the native...

The release of molecules from injured tissue leads to produce inflammatory response that can result in apoptosis and cell death. Preconditioning (PC) can decrease the inflammatory response, increase neuroprotective mechanism on different levels. So, we investigated the role of PC as a suitable preventative approach in neurodegenerative disease in and inflammatory oncogenic factors in PC12 cells...

human t-lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-1) is an endemic virus in iran and other regions that is associated with multiple diseases including adult t-cell leukemia/ lymphoma and a chronic debilitating neuroinflammatory disease, htlv-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (ham/tsp). ham/tsp is seen in approximately 2% of htlv-1-infected people with symptoms such as back pain, weakne...

Objective: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory airways distinguished by edema and infiltration of inflammatory immune cells. To test our hypothesis about the anti-inflammatory effect of saffron, we examined effects of Crocus sativus (C. sativus) extract as a prophylactic anti-inflammatory agent in sensitized rats. Materials and Methods: To induce experimental asthma, rat...

Background & objective: Changes in submucosal vascularization and inflammation, determined by immunohistochemistry staining, were shown to be correlated with the development of dysplasia and invasiveness of epithelial cells in premalignant and malignant lesions. This study evaluated changes in sections routinely stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E;) in orde...

neovascularization of the normally avascular cornea was associated with a notable increase in the expression of the major pro-angiogenic factors, inflammatory cytokines and proteases. the data supporting a causal role for vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf), inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase (mmps) are extensive. anti-angiogenic/anti-inflammatory therapy is considered as...
