Background  Many biomaterials are used during the open sinus lift surgery, beneath the elevated scheniderian membrane and maxillary sinus bony floor but the search for Ideal material continues. Methods  In the maxillary posterior atrophic ridges with the bone height less than four millimeters the open sinus lift surgery performed. The autologous Platelet-rich plasma (PRF) was used as the sol...

Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of memory and other cognitive functions. Protein kinase Cε (PKCε) is an isoform that most effectively suppresses amyloid beta (Aβ) production and synaptic loss. Methods: In this study, spatial learning and memory for treated rats were evaluated by the Morris water maze test. The activity ...

Objective(s):  Titanium oxides are known to be appropriate hemocompatible materials which are suggested as coatings for blood-contacting devices. Little is known about the influence of nanometric crystal structure, layer thickness, and semiconducting characteristics of TiO2 on blood hemostasis.   Materials and Methods: Having used sol-gel dip coating method in this study, TiO2 thin films were d...

Magnesium sulfate is widely used in obstetrics and is drug of choice in two important complications of pregnancy, preeclampsia and preterm labor. The antagonistic effects of magnesium sulfate on calcium ion and on platelet aggregation may lead to changes in bleeding time. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of magnesium sulfate on bleeding time in women with threatened preterm labor...

Abstract Background Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the most frequent causes death. Since miRNAs have been illustrated to play an important role in various processes through regulation multiple genes, and platelet function, their utility as novel biomarkers should be determined. Purpose We aimed analyze circulating platelet-derived miR-19a-3p, miR-186-5p, Let-7f, platelet-extracellular vesicles ...

background: the mean platelet volume (mpv) is the most commonly used measure of platelet size and is a potential marker of platelet reactivity. in this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between hepatic  histopathology in viral hepatitis and mpv levels,which are associated with platelet count and activity. materials and methods: we performed a retrospective case-control study of baseli...

conclusions while the crp value was in patients with acute brucellosis in the current study, the mpv, rdw and leukocyte counts were within the normal range. crp value remains the most valuable inflammatory marker in cases of acute brucellosis. results the follow-up within the year after treatment was examined. the values of age, gender, leukocyte count, c-reactive protein, rdw and mpv were reco...
