increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. the kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female cflp mice infected with 100 schistosoma mansoni cercariae. the number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the 10 most common malignant tumors and SCC accounts 94% of all oral malignancies. Mast cells are regarded as complex and multifunctional cells, playing a significant role in immunopathology . The aim of this study is to evaluate the number of mast cells in tissue sections of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in comparison with norma...

background : functional dyspepsia is considered one of the most common digestive diseases with tremendous cost and time expenditures for patients and health systems. an increase in the numbers of inflammatory cells such as mast cells and eosinophils are reported in the gastrointestinal mucosa of these patients. this study aims to determine the effects of histaminic receptor blockage on patients...

background: the aim of this study was to quantify the number of mast cells in focal reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity and to compare these two number of mast cells in normal gingival tissues and to correlate their presence with the state of connective tissue changes in reactive lesions and probably suggest a role for mast cells in these lesions. materials and methods: patient rec...

background and aims. mast cells are one of the characteristic factors in angiogenesis, growth, and metastatic spread of tumors. the distribution and significance of mast cells in many tumors have been demonstrated. however, few studies have evaluated mast cell infiltration in salivary gland tumors. in this study, mast cell counts were evaluated in benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. mat...

Objective(s) Aristolochia indica has been widely used in the traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases. In the present study different extracts of roots of A. indica were evaluated for their anti‌inflammatory, antipruritic and mast cell stabilizing activity. Materials and Methods Anti-inflammatory activity was performed by compound 48/80 induced rat paw edema model and ...
