Evaluation of hemic cell morphology in stained blood film may be the most important part of the hematologic evaluation of exotic animals. The blood film provides important information regarding red blood cell abnormalities, such as changes in cell shape and color, presence of inclusions, and, in the case of lower vertebrates, changes in the position of the cell nucleus. Stained blood film also ...

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...

background: blood is permanently exposed to oxidation stress and therefore has a high antioxidants capacity. many different factors increasing the demand for the antioxidant capacity can be observed in the stored blood of donors. consequently, damage to erythrocytes by free radicals may occur. so it is useful to control the alternation of anti-oxidant enzymes in stored blood at different days o...

a simple inexpensive con!nuous quality control method, by means of eight basic blood coun!ng parameters, obtained from automated hematology analyzers, using pa!ent samples, is described. a few samples with low, normal and high values were selected and introduced to the instrument early in the morning as the first count, the results of which are plo#ed on the appropriate chart as dots. the same ...

background: brain hypoxia-ischemia is a human neonatal injury that is considered a candidate for stem cell therapy. methods: the possible therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood (hucb) stem cells was evaluated in 14-day-old rats subjected to the right common carotid occlusion, a model of neonatal brain hypoxia-ischemia. seven days after hypoxia-ischemia, rats received either saline ...

conclusions when evaluating flank pain in patients, it is important to remember that cbc parameters may support urinary stone disease, and considering cbc results may be useful in the diagnosis of urinary stone disease. patients and methods this study was a retrospective observational study of 3,099 patients who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic or diagnosed with urinary stone dise...

Blood cells are key component of organism for their survival and has profound role in defence mechanism of invertebrates similarly in bivalve species, the key role is healing wound and nutrients transportation. The Anadara antiquata is unique because of haemoglobin in their haemolymph and it is commonly found in Pakistani coast.  Present investigation revealed three types of Blood cells, namel...

conclusions our results suggested that cb-nk cells progenitors could proliferate and differentiate on feeder layer of amnion membrane mscs in combination with specific cytokines to produce nk cells for immunotherapy. results combination of cytokines and msc layer yielded significant fold expansion in comparison with cytokines without feeder conditions (day 7: 5.2 ± 1.12 and 2 ± 0.78, respective...
