Background: Immune thrombocytopenia is a hematologic disorder characterized by low platelet count and variable bleeding manifestations due to immune-mediated platelet destruction and/or suppression of platelet production. This study was performed to evaluate characteristics and clinical presentations of adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia and to explore the clinical value of platelet an...

Background: Erythropoietin (EPO) was first known as a factor for red blood cell proliferation and differentiation. New studies show the effects of EPO on immune system. Objective: In this study, the effects of pretreatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on the anti-human leukocyte antibody (anti-HLA) titer were determined. Methods: Three groups of rats were sensitized with human...

background: in some studies inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) and celiac disease were considered to be associated and some belive that this association may influence the prognosis of ibd. however, there is a cosiderable controversy regarding this association. therefore ,we aimed to assess the association of these two common digestive diseases and evaluate the complications of this association. m...

recently, using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique, the dna of cytomegalovirus was detected from depigmented white patches in patients with vitiligo. the reactivation of infection and occasional anti-cmv igm circulating among patients infected by cytomegalovirus has been reported for years. we have studied 26 patients with clinical signs and symptoms of vitiligo, some of whom had a histo...

in this research, gold nanoparticles were synthesized and functionalized by the antibody of aflatoxins. the quenching of the fluorescence of excitation emission matrices (eem) of two type of aflatoxins (b1, g1), provoked by the gold nanoparticles, was studied by principal component analysis (pca) and multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares (mcr-als). these aflatoxins show q...
