introduction: langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) is a rare disease characterized by clonal prolifera-tion of histiocytosis in different tissues. permanent consequences (pc) described among subjects with langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch).in this study we report the prevalence of permanent sequel among long – term survivors of lch in our center. methods: we had 30 cases of lch from 1989 – 2001...

background: spermatogonial stem cells are subpopulation of spermatogonial cells in testis tissue that support beginning and maintenance of spermatogenesis. ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase l1 (uchl1) could be a specific marker for identification of spermatogonial stem cells including spermatogonial sperm cells (sscs) in testis tissue and during the culture; therefore we undertook this study...

introduction: previous studies indicate that exercise influences cognitive function. nevertheless, considering that exercise in animal study can be voluntary, or forced, effects of exercise (specially forced exercise) on learning and memory abides as a matter of controversy. the present study aimed to investigate the effects of treadmill exercise on ltp in the dentate gyrus of rats. methods: th...

introduction: over the last decade, exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic waves due to base station antenna has increased. this in vivo study was planned for evaluating the effects of whole-body exposure to 950 mhz field of gsm mobile phone system on rat dentate gyrus long-term potentiation. materials and methods: 24 naive male wistar rats (3 month old, 225|¡|25 g) were randomly divided in t...

sewage effluent is the carrier of huge amounts of n (0.09 to 0.16%), p (0.023 to 0.029 %), and k (0.11 to 0.18%) and as well as it is rich in organic carbon (3.27%). transfer of the toxic trace metal (pb) from the contaminated site can be seized out from the food chain through application of feso4.7h2o and caso4 in a larger area. the efficacy of the toxic metal immobilization through an applica...

Long-term care (LTC) must be carefully delineated when expenditures are compared across countries because how LTC services are defined and delivered differ in each country. LTC’s objectives are to compensate for functional decline and mitigate the care burden of the family. Governments have tended to focus on the poor but Germany opted to make LTC universally available ...

Synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals has been discussed for many years. Several forms of synaptic plasticity of mammal’s CNS have been identified, such as those that occur in long-term potentiation (LTP). Different types of LTP have been observed in distinctive areas of the CNS of mammals. The hippocampus is one of the most important areas in the CNS that pla...
