Background  Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the foundation of spermatogenesis. Sound wave especially low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can be effective on increasing the number of cells. In this study we investigated the effect of LIUS stimulation on mouse SSCs proliferation and colonization. Methods: Isolated SSCs from neonate mice cultured in DMEM culture medium with 10% Fetal Bovine S...

In order to avoid using cytotoxic drugs and to minimize prednisolone side effects in frequent relapsing or steroid-dependent idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, 35 patients, 3 to 15 (mean= 8.1) years of age, were studied. While in remission for at least 6 weeks, the dose of prednisolone was reduced to 0.1-0.37 (mean= 0.23) mg/kg/day as a single dose for 12 to 72 (mean= 27.6) months. It was follo...

Scintillation detector is widely used for the particle detection in field of physics. Particle detectors containing fluorine-19 ($^{19}\mathrm{F}$) are known to have advantages Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) dark matter search, especially spin-dependent interactions with WIMPs due its spin structure. In this study, scintillation properties carbontetrafluoride ($\mathrm{CF_{4}}$) g...
