We have previously shown that myocardial infarction (MI) immediately treated with an epicardial construct containing stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from adipose tissue preserved microvascular function and left ventricle contractile mechanisms. In order to evaluate a more clinically relevant condition, we investigated the cardiac recovery potential of an SVF construct implanted onto an establis...

Background: Low uptake of exogenous DNA by sperm and reduced number of fertilized oocyte by transfected sperm are the major obstacles for progression of sperm mediated gene transfer. Therefore, the modification of sperm mediated gene transfer procedure needs to be required. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of FuGene 6 compare to lipofection in transfection medium for int...

conclusion preventive programs for reducing the risk of burns are needed. furthermore, high percentage of tbsa and mortality and the presence of multi-drugs resistance bacteria are major concerns in our hospital. patients and methods in a descriptive study, medical files of 6082 consecutive admissions for burn injury treated at taleghani burn hospital over a five-year period were reviewed. resu...

Nickel damages the male reproductive system. We investigated beneficial effects of silibinin which has metal-chelating and antioxidant properties over nickel toxicity. Both antioxidative in testes overall related to sperm motility, membrane acrosome integrity orally administered Silibinin were evaluated against harmful 30 day intraperitoneal sulfate (5 mg/kg/day) administration rats. Male rats ...

Vitamin A (VA) has a number of important biological functions in human growth and development. Previous studies by our group demonstrated that the normal VA levels improved recovery of learning and memory function and decreased apoptosis in rats with hypoxic‑ischemic brain damage (HIBD). However, it has not been fully elucidated how VA regulates the apoptosis of neuronal cells. To investigate t...

The wet biomass microalgae of Nannochloropsis sp. was converted to biodiesel using direct transesterification (DT) by microwave technique and ionic liquid (IL) as the green solvent. Three different ionic liquids; 1-butyl-3-metyhlimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl], 1-ethyl-3-methylimmidazolium methyl sulphate [EMIM][MeSO4] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethane sulfonate [BMIM][CF3SO3]) ...

Objective(s): Apatinib recently has been used to treat patients with gastric cancer, but the function of apatinib in colon cancer remains unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of apatinib on the biological function and its potential mechanism of colon cancer cells in vitro. Materials and Methods:The effect of apatinib in colon cancer cells were detected by assessing cell ...
