چکیده

Following partial nephrectomy in juvenile metamorphosed Xenopus laevis the mitotic activity in the regenerating kidney reached its maximum on the 6th day and returned to its normal level by the 16th day. The mitotic activity was measured in the pronephros and epidermis of prefeeding Xenopus larvae (stage 38) at different intervals after their implantation into the lymph sacs of partially nephrectomized and control metamorphosed hosts. Ten days after partial nephrectomy, during the period of increased mitotic activity in the regenerating kidney of the host, the mitotic activity in the implant pronephros was twice as high as that in the implant pronephros of the control hosts. Eighteen days after partial nephrectomy when the mitotic activity in the regenerating host kidney had returned to normal, there was no difference between the mitotic activity of pronephros of implants in nephrectomized and control hosts. There was no significant difference between the mitotic activity of epidermis of the implants in nephrectomized and control hosts, nor was there any difference between the epidermal mitotic activity in implants examined 10 and 18 days after host nephrectomy. It was concluded that a circulating factor (or factors) responsible for the control of mitotic activity in the regenerating host kidney enters the implant through its vascular supply and influences the mitotic activity in the homologous embryonic tissue. It is possible that this factor is a tissue-specific mitotic inhibitor synthesized by the host kidney.

Tissue-specific mitotic inhibition in the kidneys of embryonic grafts and partially nephrectomized host Xenopus laevis.

Immature Xenopus laevis were unilaterally nephrectomized and implanted subcutaneously with stage 38 (prefeeding) larvae. Rat kidney extract was injected 8 and 16 days after the operation and the mitotic incidence (MI) in the host and implant tissues was measured by the colcemid metaphase arrest technique. The MI in the kidney of nephrectomized hosts was higher than normal at 8 days but had retu...

Open Partial Nephrectomy without Ischemia; Case Series

Aims: Renal vascular clamping during partial nephrectomy can lead to renal ischemia and kidney damage due to reperfusion injuries, but a surgical technique without any ischemia can eliminate such unwanted effects on kidney function. The present study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of partial nephrectomy in conditions where the renal artery is ready to be clamped. Patient Information: In ...

Frequency of capsular invasion and prenephric fat infiltration in renal cell carcinoma after partial nephrectomy

Background and Objective: Nowadays, partial nephrectomy (PN) has specific indications in renal tumors. There are challenges regarding the remaining and seeding of malignant cells after surgery due to increasing tendency to do laparoscopic PN (LPN) and consequently increased manipulation of the surrounding tumor tissue. The objective of this study is to investigate the frequency of renal capsule...

Improvement in Signs of Parkinson's Disease in Rats Following Transplantation of Embryonic Stem Cells

Purpose: Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disease produced by the death of dopaminergic neurons, and the response to current treatments is varied. It is important to develop a model for the evaluation of ES cells as an alternative model for treatment. Materials and Methods: The model for PD was developed in rats. First, ES cells were transplanted into experimental models in three groups: ...
