BackgroundAppendicitis is the most common indication for an emergency operation in children's age. Although none of the laboratory values has not high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of appendicitis, leukocyte count and the percentage of segmented neutrophils are most commonly used. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a statistically significant correlation bet...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to estimate effects of hyperbaric (hb) treatment by determination of cd15s and cd11b leukocyte proinflammatory markers expression.  in addition, this study describes changes in cd77 and cd34 expression on rat endothelial cells in renal, pulmonary and cardiac tissue following exposure to hyperbaric pressure. materials and methods:expression of cd11b and cd...

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...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hemiscorpius lepturus venom on leukocytes and the leukocyte subgroups in peripheral blood of rat. methods: in this experimental study, sixty n-mari rats were divided into three groups of 20 rats. then the rats in each group were divided into four subgroups based on the blood sampling time that was 2, 6, 24 and 48 hours after the...

parkinson's disease (pd) is a very common neurodegenerative disease among the elderly population. current treatments for parkinson’s disease are based on symptom therapy but not the underlying cause of the disease. this disorder is caused neuronal death which triggers the activation of resident glial cells. this situation leads to neuroinflammation in the central nervous system. activated ...

Generation of procoagulant activity was lymphocytes also generated procoagulant studied in leukocytes and lymphocytes activity. When endotoxin was omitted the from normal human peripheral blood, leuprocoagulant activity generated was conkocytes from patients with chronic myeloid siderably (3-1 2 times) lower. Leukocytes leukemia (CML). chronic lymphatic Ieufrom patients with CML were less activ...
