BACKGROUND Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process following damage in tissue structures. Due to extensive skin damage caused by burn injuries, this study determined the role of human adult peripheral and umbilical cord blood platelet-rich plasma on proliferation and migration in human skin fibroblasts. METHODS Platelet-rich plasma (5, 10, 15, 20 and 50% PRP) from human umbilica...

PURPOSE The varied morphology of the umbilical ring and its surrounding structures, such as the ligamentum teres hepatis, and the median and medial umbilical ligaments, has not been thoroughly investigated. Hence, this study was undertaken to clarify the morphologic variations of these structures. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anterior abdominal walls were removed en bloc from 57 adult cadavers a...

Abstract Aim Small bites closure is being implemented as standard of care (SOC) for laparotomy closure, but no consensus on which suture material to use reached. The aim our study was compare biomechanical properties four different techniques SOC. Materials & Methods Fifty porcine abdominal walls were divided into five groups: 1. SOC (2/0 polydioxanone); 2. interlocking 2/0 polydioxanone; 3...

objective oxygen intoxication plays an important role in the pathogenesis of some fetal diseases such as encephalopathy, ischemia& hypoxia. antioxidants can reduce oxidative damage in newborns. the object of this research was measuring total value of antioxidant and vitamin c in blood sample of pregnant women before delivery, and also in umbilical cord blood of their newborn, and repeating thes...

abstract background: it has been demonstrated that noscapine, an antitussive opioid alkaloid, could antagonize bradykinin- induced responses such as bradykinin effects in guinea-pig ileum, cough induced by bradykinin receptor agonist and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and brain damage after brain edema both in neonatal rat model and in patients with stroke. in the present study, the ...

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 ...

background: considering the increasing rates of early hospital discharge and kernicterus in healthy full term newborns, timely identification of neonates at risk of severe hyperbilirubinemia is of great significance. the aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of umbilical cord serum (ucs) bilirubin level for subsequent hyperbilirubinemia. moreover, we compared the predictive ...

Introduction: It is well know that fetal distress is one of the important causes of fetus perinatal morbidity and mortality. In this study, we sought to evaluate the association between umbilical coiling index and fetal distress.Material and method:This was a case- control study conducted on 90 term pregnant women. Study group had fetal distress (abnormal fetal heart rate, meconium staining, Ap...

Background & Aims: Maternal anemia in pregnancy is a considerable risk factor for both mother and fetus. Growth retardation, intra uterine fetal death, maternal cardiovascular symptoms and reduction in blood supply are among outcomes of maternal anemia. Since there are different reports about the relationship between low maternal hemoglobin level and low birght weight, the precent study was des...

Endometriosis is a common gynecological entity that usually occurs in the pelvic organs. Umbilical endometriosis rare condition accounts for 0.5-1% of all extragenital endometriosis. It arises secondary to prior surgery but may arise de novo as well. We report case this with spontaneous occurrence, which was diagnosed preoperatively umbilical granuloma. should be kept differential diagnoses wom...
