Among different staining methods used to demonstrate the nuclear abnormalities, Feulgen is one of the most reliable method. Feulgen staining is specific, sensitive method for evaluating the DNA damages.It has been shown that using non-DNA specific stains for monitoring the nuclear anomalies lead to false-positive or false-negative results. From self-experience, immersing the stained slides in h...

Immigrant and resident leukocytes are the main immune components of endometrial and decidual tissue. Altered immune responses have been suspected to be involved in idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) pathogenesis. We aimed to investigate the plasma cytokine levels and endometrial leukocyte subpopulations of RPL cases. This study was conducted with 60 idiopathic RPL (28 primary and 32 seco...

Different stress factors can affect the changes relative numbers function cells immune system. Catching, transportation over-crowding caused stress-induced total number leukocytes thrombocytes, as well leukocyte formul...

the hallmarks of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (lad) are defects in the leukocyte adhesion process, marked leukocytosis and recurrent infections. these molecular and clinical manifestations result from an impaired step in the inflammatory process, namely, the emigration of leukocytes from the blood vessels to sites of infection, which requires adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium. over las...

Background: Worldwide, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a real public health. Hepatitis B (HBV) and HIV have the same routes of transmission shared risk factors epidemiology similarities. The purpose this study was to assess impact HBV co-infection on T CD4 cells innate immune cells.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive carried among 260 persons living with (PLHIV) admitted...
