background : we conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate overall survival (oas) and disease free survival (dfs) rates in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder according to different prognostic factors. methods : this retrospective study analyzed the medical records of patients with non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. all men underwent radi...

to survive in natural waters, bacteria must respond to a variety of environmental variables such asstarvation. flexibacter chinensis was grown and multiplied in the starvation medium and its viable count, totalcount and cell size were investigated under different temperatures. also, the effects of different nutrientsources were investigated. the survival of the organism under starvation conditi...

Background and Aims:In neurodegenerative disorders,oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species is strongly associated with increased neuronal damages which can lead to apoptosis. Pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic gene expressions are changed during the cell differentiation that affect cell viability and differentiation. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effects of hyd...

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of two different concentrations of cryoprotectants by Cryotop vitrification on survival and Heat shock protein 72 (Hspa1a) expression of two-cell mouse embryos. Materials and Methods: Different cryoprotectants’ concentrations of the combination of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethylene glycol (EG) were used and compared with each other...

Background: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide with an annual mortality rate of more than 1.3 million worldwide. We aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in west of Iran. Methods: 64 patients with NSCLC who referred to our clinic were analyzed. Sex, age, histopathology, location of the tumor, treatment,...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently received increasing attention for cell-based therapy, especially in regenerative medicine. However, the low survival rate of these cells restricts their therapeutic applications. It is hypothesized that autophagy might play an important role in cellular homeostasis and survival. This study aims to investigate the regenerative potentia...

esophageal cancer is a lethal disease with poor survival rate. it is necessary to determine the extension, and the stage of the tumor to predict the outcome of patients. of the two common pathologic types, squamous cell carcinoma is still the most common form, and adenocarcinoma is the leading one. early diagnosis and radical treatment of esophageal cancer, regardless of tumor spreading, increa...
