Epithelial cells play a major role in animal and human homeostasis because they selectively regulate the exchange of solutes between two given media, such as blood or urine. Cardiac glycosides (CG) are group highly toxic compounds whose best therapeutic known effect is on heart, although recent evidence has shown that it exerts wide range physiological effects tissues other than heart. Prostagl...

a new series of anti-cancer agents based on 1,2-diaryl-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline scaffold containing n,n-diethylamino ethoxy, piperidinyl ethoxy or morpholinyl ethoxy group at the para position of the c-2 phenyl ring were synthesized and their cytotoxic activities were assessed against several human cancer cell lines including mcf-7 (er positive breast cancer cell), mda-mb231 (er-ne...

Background and Aim: Oral mucosal lesions have various prevalence rates among different populations. Few studies have evaluated the frequency of oral mucosal lesions in Iranian population. This study aimed to determine the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and the related factors.                   &nb...

Materials and Methods: This was a retr...

The protective effects of Rheum tanguticum polysaccharide 1 (RTP1), which is extracted from the Chinese traditional medicine Rheum tanguticum, on radiation-induced intestinal mucosal injury was investigated. Rat intestinal crypt epithelial cells (IEC-6 cells) and Sprague-Dawley rats were each divided into control, irradiated and RTP1-pretreated irradiated groups. After irradiation, cell surviva...

background & objectives: odontogenic cysts are among the most frequent destructive lesions of jaws which their pathogenesis and growth mechanism are not cleared. with respect to different roles of mast cells, they may play a role in the pathogenesis and growth of odontogenic cysts. the aim of present study was to evaluate mast cells in the most common odontogenic cyst. methods: thirty  para...

This study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of Vitamin E on testicular tissue and antioxidant levels in rats exposed Bisphenol A. It determined that general histological appearances were similar control sham groups, there a decrease tubule diameter BPA-treated group, but seminiferous tubular epithelial layer increased. Epithelial shedding subbasal vacuoles detected some tubules vitamin g...
