in this study cellular phosphatase activity, referred to as enzyme developed color (edc) assay, was used for an in vitro assessment of cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. optimum conditions were established and found to be 10 x103 cells / well at 37°c and 60 min incubation (for developing color). under the same conditions a direct correlation between optical density (00) and cell number was ob...

background: many in vitro studies suggested that choline incorporation into many types of tumors is related to cell proliferation. whether in vivo choline incorporation is related also to cell proliferation or not was my question. therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to investigate the relationship of in vivo [methyl- 14c]-choline incorporation and in vivo [methyl-3h]- thymidine incorpora...

background: study in design to incorporate accelerated proliferation correction factors into linearquadratic and multiple-component models. materials and methods: accelerated proliferation rate correction factor has been incorporated into the linearquadratic and the multiple component models by applying accelerated exponential cell growth to explain the tumor cell kinetics and estimates proper ...

abstract bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (bpop), also known as nora's lesion is a rare osteocartilaginous lesion composed of a disorganized mixture of cartilage, bone, and fibrous tissue. in this article we report a case of bpop arising on the proximal and middle phalanx of ring finger in a 31 year-old woman. the clinical, radiographic, mr imaging and histopathologic findings...

background: medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. the important factors in predicting survival are the extent of disease, proliferation index of the tumor cells, histopathologic class and the age at diagnosis. the percentage of ki-67 positive cells reflects the proliferation  of the cells and is one of the critical factors which determine the growth of the tumor....

we aimed to develop a cost-effective and robust method to predict drug resistance in individualpatients. representative tissue fragments were obtained from tumors removed from femalepatients, aged 24-74 years old. the tumor tissue was taken by a histopathology’s or a surgeonunder sterile conditions. cells obtained by enzymatic dissociation from tumor after surgery, werecultured as a monolayer f...

introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hsp-70 (heat shock protein-70) induction in the lysate of heat shocked tumor cells on splenocyte proliferation, nitric oxide production by peritoneal macrophages, and fibrosarcoma tumor size reduction in balb/c mice. material and methods: wehi 164 cells (mouse fibrosarcoma cell line) were injected subcutaneously into the r...
