background: radioprotective capability of histamine h2 receptor antagonists have been shown in several in vivo studies mainly using animal models. however, to verify the effectiveness of these agents in clinical applications, studies should be performed on human cells. in the present study radioprotective properties of these agents was examined in vitro on human lymphocytes using metaphase anal...

backgrounds: seminoma is frequently observed in human and canine testes especially in cryptorchids. canine and human seminomas are typically associated with leukocytic infiltration. objectives: we aimed to identify the type of lymphocytes that infiltrate to seminomas. methods: tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were evaluated by immunohistological techniques in 5 dogs with diffuse seminoma. routine...

bleomycin (blm)as an anti-cancer agent causes tissue toxicities through dna damaging and cell deaths. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thymol against genotoxicity and anti-proliferation induced by blm in normal human lymphocytes and ovarian cancer cells.peripheral blood samples were collected from human volunteers and were incubated with thymolat different concentrations ...

Bleomycin (BLM) as an anti-cancer agent causes tissue toxicities through DNA damaging and cell deaths. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thymol against genotoxicity and anti-proliferation induced by BLM in normal human lymphocytes and ovarian cancer cells. Peripheral blood samples were collected from human volunteers and were incubated with thymol at different concentratio...

ionizing radiation causes dna damage and chromosome abbreviations on normal cells. the radioprotective effect of celecoxib (clx) was investigated against genotoxicity induced by ionizing radiation in cultured human blood lymphocytes. peripheral blood samples were collected from human volunteers and were incubated at different concentrations at 1, 5, 10 and 50 μm of clx for two hours. at each do...

objectives the cause of rheumatoid arthritis (ra) as a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease is still unknown. it appears that both genetic and environmental factors play a role in its pathogenesis. recent studies reveal that in addition to the cns, immune cells synthesis neurotransmitters so that these catecholamines can regulate immune functions. the aim of this study is to evaluate the dop...

human t-lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-1) is an endemic virus in iran and other regions that is associated with multiple diseases including adult t-cell leukemia/ lymphoma and a chronic debilitating neuroinflammatory disease, htlv-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (ham/tsp). ham/tsp is seen in approximately 2% of htlv-1-infected people with symptoms such as back pain, weakne...
