leaf and root explants from 10 to 20 day– old seedlings of plantago lanceolata, were cultured on ms, msh, nt and b5 basal media with various concentrations of different plant growth regulators. the best callus induction was obtained with 0.4 mgl-1 2,4-d in msh i with 400 callus index. callus growth was significantly stimulated (p=0.05)with 0.8 mgl-1 2,4-d and 0.1 mgl-1 kin in msh ii, with 7...

introduction: the phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (stfbs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulat...

abstract gerbera is one of the most demanded plants in commercial cut flowers plants. optimizing the micro-propagation of new cultivars is therefore important. in this research “red explosion” cultivar was used and capitola (as explants) were directed to a modified solid murashigue and skoog medium with four concentration of tdz (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 mgl-1) for regeneration. three concentr...

objective the aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of acid fast and auramine-rhodamine staining and multiplex pcr for the detection of mycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex and non tuberculosis mycobacteria on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues (ffpe) materials and methods forty cases of ffpe pleural and bronchial tissue with chronic granulomatous inflammation and ...

BACKGROUND Due to various options for tissue resection and preoperative markings, many different reports on aesthetics and patient’s satisfaction exist. To assess differences among tissue resections and risk factors, we herein analyzed satisfaction levels of patients that underwent upper blepharoplasty. METHODS A retrospective analysis during the period from January 2006 to June 2013 w...

Introduction: Phantom is an object that can be used to investigate the accuracy of radiation dose delivered to patients. Phantom is usually produced from the combination of the silicone rubber as a matrix and glycerin as a filler to form a composite for the replacement of the human soft tissue. The composite is imaged using computed tomography (CT) simulator for the de...

Introduction: Gastric cancer is a multifactorial disease and the fourth most common cancer in the world and the second cause of death from cancer. This study was designed and performed to investigate CDH1 and RUNX3 genes expression in healthy and tumor marginal tissue of people with gastric cancer. Methods: In this case-control study, 64 samples including 32 samples of gastric tumor tissue a...

Background and Aim: Considering the great advances and extensive use of cell phones and its effects on the human communications and interactions, investigation of potential negative effects of cell phones on the users' health is necessary. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the distance between cell phones and brain tissue on the temperature of the central and gray matters of ...

Background: Ultrasound propagation velocity was measured experimentally in normal, fibroadenoma and ductal carcinoma breast tissues, in order to distinguish normal breast tissue from tumors. Materials and methods: In quantitative measurements of ultrasound velocity, 403 breast tissue images were selected, comprising 130 normal breast tissue, 130 fibroadenoma, and 143 ductal carcinoma tumors. Th...
