purpose: to investigate the efficacy of limbal-conjunctival autografting technique in patients with primary pterygium methods: fifteen eyes of 15 patients with primary pterygium underwent surgery for the removal of pterygium with limbal-conjunctival autograft. after the pterygium excision, the limbal portion of the graft was oriented and sutured to the limbus at the recipient bed with the epith...

Background: There is a worldwide effort to present novel approaches for the development of tolerance-induction treatments in regenerative medicine, after years of investigation in clinical transplantation. Particularly, novel approaches are based on controlling the immune response, including the application of biomaterials or imitation of antigen-specific peripheral tolerance in either solid-or...

Background: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), used in Leukemia treatment. CD26+ cells, a fraction of CD34 positive cells, are a major population of UCB cells which negatively regulate the in vivo homing and engraftment of HSCs. CD26 is highly expressed in various cells such as HSCs, immune cells, fibroblasts, and epithelial ce...

aspergillus terreus is emerging as an etiologic agent of invasive aspergillosis among patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy, haematopoetic stem-cell transplantation, or solid organ transplantation worldwide. infections caused by aspergillus terreus has become important due to less susceptibility to antifungal drags, resistant to amphotericin b and therefore, poor clinical outcome and higher m...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is well known as a severely disabling that can result in long-term neurological impairment and great impact on the social economic aspects of patients. To investigate controversy regarding Stem Cell Transplantation treatment modality to alleviate devastating effect Cord Injury, we performed literature research according PRISMA guidelines through Pubmed, Cochrane, EMBASE...

introduction: monitoring the engraftment of donor cell after allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation is important for the early diagnosis of graft failure or relapse of disease. so analysis of donor chimerism has become a routine method for documentation of engraftment after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. in humans, the amelogenin gene is present on both the x and the y chromosomes. h...
