different types of actinomyces spp isolated from the oral cavity of human in healthy as well as in pathological state. internally it is only found in association with pathological organs. recently actinomyces naeslundii has been isolated from blood culture of a leukemic patient. present studies indicate the association of this microorganism with cells obtained from bone marrow by punction in mo...

introduction: silymarin is obtained from silybum marianum (milk thistle), an edible plant that has long been used medicinally for the treatment of liver-related disorders. silymarin is a powerful hepatoprotective and antioxidant but the anticlastogenic activity, which is an important aspect of its cancer chemoprevention is not known hence the present investigation was carried out to study its a...

the wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord is believed to be a source of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) which can be therapeutically applied in degenerative diseases. in this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of umbilical cord derived- mesenchymal stem  cells (uc-mscs) and  bone  marrow-derived-mesenchymal stem  cells (bm-mscs) on differentiation, maturation, and endocytosis of m...

introdution: stroke is one of the most common diseases caused by occlusion or rupture of blood vessels in brain. it brings heavily loads for families and societies. although some new strategies including treatment of tissue plasminogen activator have been applied in the clinic, these methods do not have perfect effect. accordingly, more effective therapeutic strategies need to be developed. thi...

introduction: transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (bmscs) or schwann cells (scs) can increase axonal regeneration in peripheral nerve injuries. based on our previous investigations, the goal of the present work was to examine the individual and synergistic effects of the two different cell types in sciatic nerve injury . we pursued to evaluate the effects of bmscs and scs co-transplant...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the significance of the dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) parameters of diffuse spinal bone marrow infiltration in patients with hematological malignancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging of the lumbar spine was performed in 26 patients with histologically proven diffuse bone marrow infiltration, including mul...

In this study granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF) was prepared from rabbit and guinea pig lung tissues. The biological activity of these CSFs was measured on semisolid agar culture and compared with those of mouse and rat. Weight of animals, incubation time and cross-reactivity of CSFs with different bone marrow sources were also investigated. The results showed that both...

only speculate. The second point to which Adams et al. disagree is the prognostic value of PET/ CT-ascertained bone marrow involvement in DLBCL (focal PET/CT lesions), which, as clearly stated in our paper, remains ambiguous. Still Adams et al. feel we discussed the part inappropriately. Khan et al. reported that the outcome of patients with focal PET/ CT lesions in the bone marrow was similar ...

Introduction One of the important applications of nuclear physics in medicine is the use of radioactive elements as radiopharmaceuticals. Metastatic bone disease is the most common form of malignant bone tumors. Samarium-153-ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonate (153Sm-EDTMP) as a radiopharmaceutical is used for pain palliation. This radiopharmaceutical usually emits beta particles, which...

The methods of the published manuscript [1] state that an incorrect concentration of Feridex was used (25 ug/ml). Instead, the methods should state that a concentration of 50 ug/ml Feridex was used. Optimized labeling of bone marrow mesenchymal cells with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and in vivo visualization by magnetic resonance imaging.
