Introduction: Radiation from cell phones has been associated with an increased risk of cancer. The literature has reported evidence of certain biological effects resulting from exposure to various wavelengths, doses, and intensities of radiofrequency radiation. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible adverse effects of radiation from a GSM mobile phone operating at 900 MHz on human mel...

purpose: to assess the short-term effect of mitomycin-c (mmc) 0.02% on endothelial cell density and morphology after photorefractive keratectomy (prk) in patients with moderate myopia. methods: forty-two eyes of 21 participants with moderate myopia (range, -4.0 to -8.0 d) underwent prk with mmc 0.02% for 40 seconds. specular microscopy was performed preoperatively and repeated 6 months after su...

ito cell (fat storing cell=fsc) is one of the cells which forms the liver sinusoidal wall it also forms the connective tissue of the liver. the cell was first identified in 1963 by a scientist named ito. it will get damaged due to the plasma fat increase which is resulted from a diet of corn oil 10% and fish oil 10% the damage wil be in form of fat storing cell. the fsc morphology may represent...

in spite of serious cardiotoxicity side-effects, doxorubicin is frequently used for treatment of several types of cancers. isolated human adult cardiomyocytes could be the best model for assessing drug-induced cardiotoxicity, while harvesting mature cardiomyocytes is restricted by some limitations such as biopsy size, cell numbers, viability, proliferative capacity and their disability to be pa...

In this work, we report the effect of biopolymers (starch and gelatin) on in vitro biocompatibility property of nano hydroxyapatite (nHAp) composites. Cell culture and MTT assays were performed for in vitro biocompatibility. They show that nHAp can affect the proliferation of cells and the nHAp-starch and nHAP-gelatin biocomposites have no negative effect on the cell morphology, viability and p...

Tellurium (Te) nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal methodfrom the reaction of a TeCl4 aqueous solution with thioglycolic acid (TGA) as a reductant. TGA can be easily oxidized to the corresponding disulfide [SCH2CO2H]2, which in turn can reduce TeCl4 to Te. The obtained Te was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, and DRS. The effect of reducing agent on morphol...

alumina nanomaterials were synthesized via a solution combustion technique using tris-(acetylacetonato) aluminum(iii) complex (1) and tris-(2-formylphenolate) aluminum(iii) complex (2) at 600, and 1000 °c for 3h. the obtained data showed that the procedure without using fuel resulted in a better phase and morphology. to investigate the phase formation, powder x-ray diffraction technique was use...
