the skin is the largest tissue of man with several functions. cosmetics/cosmeceuticals agents always are needed to be evaluated for their detrimental effects on the skin. nowadays, the therapeutic potential of stem cells has and fibroblasts have increased the hope for a successful cell therapy in aesthetic medicine. stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell ...

the ultimate goal of the periodontal treatments is a regeneration of periodontium. recently, laser irradiations are commonly used to improve wound repair. because of many controversies about the effects of laser on soft tissue regeneration, more in vitro studies are still needed. the aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the effects of different doses of er:yag (erbium-doped:yttrium,...

The design of new oxygen- and proton-conducting materials is paramount importance for their possible utilization in solid oxide fuel cells. In the present work, La2(Hf2–xLax)O7–x/2 (x = 0, 0.1) ceramics were prepared using ball milling mixtures (La2O3 HfO2) followed by high-temperature annealing at 1600 °C 10 h air. La2Hf2O7 exhibit an ordered pyrochlore-type structure, whereas La2(Hf1.9La0.1)O...

AIMS There are limited data on whether clinical presentation at first heart failure (HF) hospitalization predicts recurrent HF events. We aimed to assess predictors of recurrent HF hospitalizations in mild HF patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator. METHODS AND RESULTS Data on HF hospitalizations were prospectively collec...

background one of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. the present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. methods thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal random-pattern skin ...

objective: different techniques have been suggested for the repair of bone defects at the injured sites. use of biomembranes, or application of plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) at the site of proliferation of osteoblasts are among the suggested techniques. the current study aimed to compare the biocompatibility of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hplf) cultured on hypro-sorb f, perica...

Anthraquinone based anion receptors have gained importance due to their colorimetric response on sensing a specific anion and the possibility of tuning this property by varying the conjugated moiety (the donor) to the diamine. In this work, we have synthesized and characterized four anthraimidazoledione compounds having 2,5-dihydroxy benzene, 4-(bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)benzene, imidazole and 4-...

Although pancreatic beta-cells are capable of adapting their mass in response to insulin requirements, evidence has shown that a dietary insult could compromise this ability. Fetal malnutrition has been linked to low birth weight and the development of type 2 diabetes later in life, while reduced beta-cell mass has been reported in adult rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Reported here are the eff...
