The antitumor effect of oxygen radicals produced by hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase reaction was studied in an experimental rabbit model. VX2 carcinomas were transplanted into rabbit hind legs. Hypoxanthine was administered continuously through the ear vein, while xanthine oxidase was administered simultaneously through the femoral artery. As a result, hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase reacte...

IMPORTANCE Otosclerotic bone has been observed to penetrate the endosteal layer of the cochlea, resulting in direct contact with the soft-tissue structures of the inner ear. Sensorineural hearing loss has been observed in some, but not all, of these cases. The development of histologic changes occurring in the cochlear soft tissues at the site of otosclerotic endosteal penetration has been desc...

stem cell research has obtained much prominence in recent years for its therapeutic potential in dealing with serious diseases, many of which are essentially incurable by routine therapies. mesenchymal stem cells with pluripotency and immunomodulatory properties are suitable candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. today, nanofibrous scaffolds are widely used in tissue engin...

human adipose tissue represents an abundant, practical and appealing source of donor tissue for autologous cell replacement. recent findings have shown that stem cells within the stromalvascular fraction of adipose tissue display a multilineage developmental potential. adipose tissue-derived stem cells can be differentiated towards adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic,myogenic and neurogenic li...

A patient returned from Algeria showing a grade III wound (WHO standard) produced by a dog bite, was treated with rabies nerve tissue vaccines (NTVs) lacked the rabies immunoglobin, and developed a visible local reaction to the vaccine. The last WHO position paper (2010) recommends replacing nerve-tissue vaccines with CCVs. The nerve tissue vaccines induce more-severe adverse reaction sand are ...
