[ 1 ] - Immunotherapeutic effects of pentoxifylline in type 1 diabetic mice and its role in the response of T-helper lymphocytes
Objective(s):Pentoxifylline is an immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory agent and is used in vascular disorders. It has been shown that pentoxifylline inhibits proinflammatory [d1] cytokines production. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of pentoxifylline on the treatment of autoimmune diabetes in mice. Materials and Methods: Diabetes was induced by multiple l...
[ 2 ] - Anti-atherosclerotic effect of Cynodon dactylon extract on experimentally induced hypercholesterolemia in rats
Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass) is a perennial plant traditionally used as an herbal medicine in many countries. In the present study, anti-atherosclerotic property of ethanolic extract of C. dactylon was investigated in the experimentally induced hypercholesterolemia in rats. In this study, 36 male Wistar rats were selected and allocated into six groups (n = 6). The control ...
[ 3 ] - Histopathological study of the mite biting (Dermanyssus gallinae) in poultry skin
The red mite of poultry, Dremanyssus gallinae, is the most important hematophagous ectoparasite of poultry. In this study, pathologic changes of its biting on the poultry skin have been investigated. Thirty-two (Control = 16 and Treatment = 16) four weeks old Ross broilers (308) were infested with the mite on skin of hock joins. Samples were collected after 1, 24, 72 hours and 10 days. The skin...

Background & Aims: The atrazine is one of the most commonly applied herbicide in the world. The main purpose of the current study was to investigate the detrimental effects of ATR on male reproductive system. Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, eighty male rats were used. The rats in control group received 0/2ml corn oil and in experimental groups received 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg b....
[ 5 ] - اثرایمونوتراپیوتیک آل- ترانس رتینوئیک اسید بر دیابت تیپ 1 در موش و تاثیر آن بر بیان ژن (peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor gamma (PPARγ
Background: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has a variety of biological activities, including immunomodulatory action in a number of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of all-trans retinoic acid on the treatment of autoimmune diabetes in mice and its effects on expressions of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPARγ...
[ 6 ] - The healing effect of chitosan supported nano-CeO2 on experimental excisional wound infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa in rat
Objective- The healing effect of chitosan supported cerium oxide nanoparticles (nano-CeO2) on cutaneous experimental excisional wound infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied in rat. Design- Experimental Study. Animals- Sixty male albino rats. Procedures- The chitosan supported nano-CeO2 hydrogel was prepared and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectro...
[ 7 ] - Effects of Short Term Oral Administration of Curcumin on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rats
Objective- Tendon healing, in terms of histologic and functional characteristics, is always inferior to its normal level due to the poor vascularity and low metabolic rate. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and healing effects. This study aimed to investigate effects of curcumin on Achilles tendon experimental injury using histopathology, biomechanical and functional evaluation...
[ 8 ] - Crocin exerts improving effects on indomethacin-induced small intestinal ulcer by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms
Crocin is a plant-derived carotenoid and bears potent antioxidant property. Ranitidine (a histamine H2 receptor blocker) is used for peptic ulcer treatment. The present study was planned to investigate the effects of crocin and ranitidine on indomethacin-induced ulcer in small intestine of rats. Animals were randomized into two major groups including indo-methacin (10.00 mg kg-1...
