Introduction: In vitro maturation and development of immature oocytes, as an artificial reproduction technique, is useful especially in women who are affected by cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome. Despite using many types of in vitro media, an appropriate environment has not been reported yet. Present study was designed to assess the effect of heated human follicular fluid (hHFF), which is s...

background and aims. heat generated within tooth during clinical dentistry can cause thermally induced damage to hard and soft components of the tooth (enamel, dentin and pulp). geometrical characteristics of immature teeth are different from those of mature teeth. the purpose of this experimental and theoretical study was to investigate thermal changes in immature permanent teeth during the us...

objective: chlorpyrifos (cpf) is a neurotoxic organophosphorus (op) insecticide. its mechanism of action includes oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (ache). the aim of the present study is to investigate cpf toxicity in mature and immature cerebellar granule neurons (cgns), as well as its effect on glutamate induced excitotoxicity. materials and ...

introduction: in this study in vitro maturation, resumption of meiosis and development of immature mouse oocytes in the presence of cysteamine was evaluated. meterial and methods: immature oocytes recovered from nmri mouse strain (4-6 weeks) were categorized in three experimental and one control group. the control included 345 immature oocytes which were matured in mem medium contain 5% fcs. in...

studies of postmeiotic chromosomes have been impeded by the thick exine of immature pollen grains. chromosome staining of immature and adult pollen grains through conven-tional acetocarmine procedure is tedious and often leads to unsatisfactory results. an acetocarmine stain, used in conjugation with carnoy’s solution as fixative for 72 hrs or until the chlorophyll-containing tissues of spike b...

this case report describes treatment of a necrotic immature permanent mandibular first molar with pulpal necrosis in 9-year old female with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. the coronal half of the root canal was debrided with a file #30 to remove necrotic tissue, and irrigated with chlorhexidine 0.12%. bleeding was evoked to form an intracanal blood clot; the wound was then dressed with calcium hy...

Background: Ovarian immature teratoma is a very rare type of tumor associated with a high relapse rate and mortality. Correspondingly, early diagnosis is important for effective treatment. The goal of this study was to retrospectively analyze the ultrasound characteristics of 11 cases of immature teratomas. Materials and Methods: Between January 2002 and December 2010, 11 patients were diagnose...
