in order to perform a histomorphometric study of blood cells in male adult ostrich, blood samples were obtained from jugular vein of 10 clinically healthy male adult ostriches (2 - 3 years old). the slides were stained with the giemsa methods and the smears were evaluated for cellular morphology, with cellular size being determined by micrometry. the findings of this study revealed that the sha...

objectives : platelet preparations are commonly used to enhance bone and soft tissue regeneration. considering the existing controversies on the efficacy of platelet products for tissue regeneration, more in vitro studies are required. the aim of the present study was to compare the in vitro effects of plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) on proliferation and viab...

leukemia is a blood disease which is caused by the inhibition of differentiation and an increased proliferation rate. nature has been known as a rich source of medically useful substances. high diversity of bioactive molecules extracted from marine invertebrates, makes them ideal candidates for cancer researches. the study has been done to investigate cytotoxic effects of dichloromethane brittl...

This study evaluated the contributing roles of flow cytometric immunophenotyping of blood and bone marrow and immunohistochemical paraffin section staining of bone marrow biopsies in the staging of B-cell malignant lymphoma. Flow immunophenotyping was performed on a marrow specimen in 175 cases; a corresponding blood specimen was also immunophenotyped in 135 of these cases. Morphologic marrow i...

objective: menstrual blood stromal stem cells (mbscs) share some phenotypic and functional similarities with mesenchymal stem cells (mscs). mscs are shown to inhibit either the function or generation of different immune cells, including dendritic cells (dcs). however, data regarding mbscs’ potential effects on immune system cells are elusive. here, we examine whether mbscs affect the generation...
