background: calprotectin is cytotoxic agent that its anti-tumor effects are governed through suppression of topoisomerase ii a key enzyme in apoptosis. in previous studies, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin are shown on different cancer cell lines, but not human gastric cancer cell lines. in the present study, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin on human gastric ...

Aim: Present study evaluated the cytotoxicity of dentin desentisizing agents on bovine pulp-derived cells (bDPCs). 
 Materials and Methods: Transfected bDPCs were exposed to original, ½ ¼ dilutions Shield Force Plus, Gluma Teethmate Desensitizer for 24 h. Culture medium was used as a control group. The viability tested by MTT after hours exposure. Data analyzed using one-way analysis varia...

In this study, the effects of the size and Chinese traditional processing (including elutriation, water cleaning, acid cleaning, alkali cleaning) on realgar nanoparticles (RN)-induced antitumor activity in human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG-63) and hepatoma carcinoma cell lines (HepG-2) were investigated. The human normal liver cell line (L-02) was used as control. RN was prepared by high-energy...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is caused by the central nervous system-derived glial cells, and represents the most common (50%-60%) form of primary brain tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro effects of selenium on human GBM cells. In the present study, GMS-10 and DBTRG-05MG human GBM cell lines were used as a model to examine selenium entering the cell, cell proliferati...

The cytotoxicity of starch-based polymers was investigated using different methodologies. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) was used as a control for comparison purposes. Extracts of four different starch-based blends (corn starch and ethylene vinyl alcohol (SEVA-C), corn starch and cellulose acetate (SCA), corn starch and polycaprolactone (SPCL) and starch and poly-lactic acid (SPLA70) were prepared i...

Pomegranate is a long-known edible fruit with medicinal properties. Helminth infections are among the most common human illnesses worldwide, due to lack of suitable sanitary systems and safe drinking water sources. Although these seldom deadly, they cause development limitations in children, which damage their school performance make them susceptible other illnesses. The present study has been ...

In cases of injuries in the oral cavity, mouthwash comes contact with underlying gingival connective tissue and should have its cytotoxicity assessed. However, there is no available evidence if cells elderly donors react differently during vitro assessments mouthwashes. This study aimed to compare evaluation two different types when assessed primary fibroblasts from either young older donors. P...
