many species belonging to the scrophularia genus have been used since ancient times as folk remedies for many medical conditions such as scrofulas, scabies, tumors, eczema, psoriasis, inflammations. the aim of this study was to characterize the matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) inhibitor compounds of the scrophularia striata extract by bio-guide fractionation. the aerial parts of s. striata were...

OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinase-9 is considered to play a pivotal role in aneurismal formation. We showed that gingival fibroblasts (GF) in vitro reduced matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity via increased secretion of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1. We aimed to evaluate in vivo the efficacy of GF transplantation to reduce aneurism development in a rabbit model. METHODS AND RESULTS ...

OBJECTIVE To determine matrix metalloproteinase-2 and survivin expressions in endometrial cancers, their relation to clinical and histologic parameters and to investigate any difference in the expression of these markers between endometrioid and nonendometrioid cancers. METHODS Ninety-five patients with endometrial cancer, were included. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 and survivin expressions wer...
