determinants of early onset haze were retrospectively explored in patients who had been undergone laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratectomy (lasek) in a private eye clinic. the technique included creating an epithelial flap following 20 seconds exposure to 20% alcohol. ‘optimized’ ablation profile was used by allegretto laser (wavelight technologie). following repositioning of the flap, a singl...

background: ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of death from malignancy in women. cd4 +cd25+foxp3+ regulatory t (treg) cells are a subset of t lymphocytes with great inhibitory impact on immune response. objectives: to investigate the percentage of cd4 +cd25+foxp3+ regulatory t cells in the peripheral blood of the iranian patients with epithelial ovarian cancer compared to healthy women ...

the purpose of this study was the utilization of different methods of tissue culture in proliferation of epithelial cells and autologous graft to cover surface areas without skin specifically, which is due to thermal burns more than 50%. in this experience we performed from rabbits and success to cover almost 24 times original donor site with autograft.

aspergillus spp. are ubiquitous saprophytic fungi that cause a variety of diseases, ranging from hypersensitivity reactions to flulike pneumonia and life-threatening invasive aspergillosis. as the lung is the primary site of initial infection with airborne conidia, we investigated the innate immune responses of bronchial epithelial cells against different forms of aspergillus spp.

Epithelial cells play a major role in animal and human homeostasis because they selectively regulate the exchange of solutes between two given media, such as blood or urine. Cardiac glycosides (CG) are group highly toxic compounds whose best therapeutic known effect is on heart, although recent evidence has shown that it exerts wide range physiological effects tissues other than heart. Prostagl...

Abstract There has been an increase in the identification of cases coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) recent years around world. While there are a range possible explanations for this, studies have implicated pyrite content as key determinant CWP risk. However, experimental to support this link limited. The aim study was assess association between content, and subsequent release bioavailable ir...

Pectins inhibit the growth of C. rodentium in vitro, preventing attachment rodentium to CMT93 epithelial cells. Through these antimicrobial effects, pectins protect epithelium from rodentium-induced barrier dysfunction and damage.
