Cryopreservation is the method of choice for long term storage of human PBMCs. This study was designed to compare the different combinations of variables affecting the cryopreservation of PBMCs samples. The viability of PBMCs separated from 2×5 ml peripheral blood samples obtained from 16 healthy adult volunteers, were measured using trypan blue dye exclusion method just before freezing with ...

Background: There is evidence that mesangial cell structural changes contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. To gain better insight into the mechanisms responsible for this issue, present study focused on effect of cord blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) derived CD133 positive cells on mesangial cell structure and function. Materials and Methods: The animals were randomly divided in...

Abstract Background Hernia of the umbilical cord (HUC) is an uncommon type abdominal wall defect characterized by a hernia midgut into proximal section cord. This occasionally coupled with other congenital abnormalities. frequently misdiagnosed and referred to as “omphalocele minor.” In certain cases, unintentional clamping causes iatrogenic intestinal harm. The purpose this retrospective study...

cryopreservation is the method of choice for long term storage of human pbmcs. this study was designed to compare the different combinations of variables affecting the cryopreservation of pbmcs samples. the viability of pbmcs separated from 2×5 ml peripheral blood samples obtained from 16 healthy adult volunteers, were measured using trypan blue dye exclusion method just before freezing with di...

mitochondria play key roles in many cell functions including energy production, fatty acid metabolism, pyrimidine biosynthesis, calcium homeostasis, and aging. they also regulate crucial signaling cascades such as apoptosis and oxidative stress. the proteome is often used to investigate the functional correlations on protein levels. based upon the human, genome there is estimated 2000 to 2500 a...

Background, Despite numerous studies over a decade, it still remains controversial about the biological effects of RF EMF emitted by mobile phone telephony. Objective, Here we investigated the effect of 900 MHz GSM on the induction of oxidative stress and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human mononuclear cells, monocytes and lymphocytes as defence system cells. Metho...

miR-34a is a member of the miR-34 family and acts as a tumor suppressor in bladder cancer. This study explored the regulative role of miR-34a on an orphan nuclear receptor HNF4G, which has a well-confirmed role in bladder tumor growth and invasion. qRT-PCR analysis was applied to measure miR-34a expression in two tumorigenic bladder cancer cell lines 5637 and T24 and one normal human urothelial...

Background: Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the vessel wall is characterized by local and systemic immune responses to a variety of antigens. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is considered as an important determining factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (...

the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of tetramethlpyrazine on oxazolone-induced colitis mice. spleen mononuclear cells (smc), lamina propria mononuclear cells (lpmc) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) were isolated from oxazolone-induced colitis and normal mice. the colitis cells treated by oxazolone were randomly divided into model, low dos...
