context connective tissue cells include fibroblasts, chondrocytes, adipocyte, and osteocytes. these cells are specialized for the secretion of collagenous extracellular matrix and are responsible for the architectural framework of the human body. evidence acquisition connective tissue cells play a central role in supporting as well as repairing tissues and organs. fibroblast cell therapy could ...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary levels of an active phospholipids source on immune system response in broilers using 180 male ross 308 broilers chicks. experimental diets containing 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 % of active phospholipids were prepared in a way that metabolizable energy, protein and other nutrients was the same in them. blood samples we...

Lymphocyte transformation and production of lymphocyte-derived chemotactic factor in response to herpes simplex virus antigen were studied in 15 patients with initial genital herpes and 10 controls. The patients underwent frequent genital examinations, viral cultures, and weekly immunological studies for a period of 11 weeks. The production of lymphocyte-derived chemotactic factor was maximal i...

PURPOSE The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the relationship between the circulating lymphocyte subpopulation counts during preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and tumor response in locally advanced rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS From August 2015 to June 2016, 10 patients treated with preoperative CRT followed by surgery were enrolled. Patients received conventional...

To seek evidence of a primitive adaptive immune system (AIS) before vertebrate, we examined whether lymphocytes or lymphocyte-like cells and the related molecules participating in the lymphocyte function existed in amphioxus. Anatomical analysis by electron microscopy revealed the presence of lymphocyte-like cells in gills, and these cells underwent morphological changes in response to microbia...

Previous studies have demonstrated that human malignancies can synthesize large amounts of thromboxane. It has also been reported that thromboxane can significantly alter multiple components of physiologic and immunologic function. We investigated the effect of elevated levels of thromboxane on host response to tumor using multiple rat models, and the long acting thromboxane analogue U-46619. A...

Background: This study aimed to estimate peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and programmed death receptor-1 positive (PD-1+) proportions of T cells, their impact on progression free survival (PFS) radiological response in lung cancer.

Introduction: The aim of this research was to compare the effect of a 15-day vitamin C and Esupplementation on C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin- 6 (IL-6), cortisol, lymphocyte, andlactate response to a single aerobic training session. Methods: Thirty male college students ofIslamic Azad University-Fars Science and Research Branch of with mean age of 21/53±2/99years, weight 70/03±10/52 kg a...

hepatitis b surface antigen is the first genetically engineered vaccine licensed for human use. various strategies have been proposed to obtain a vaccine that would bypass the need for injection. in this study, a non-toxic portion of heat-stable enterotoxin of escherichia coli that is capable of adhering to epithelial cells was inserted at amino acid position 112 of hepatitis surface antigen. t...
