Objective(s): To reveal the detailed mechanism underlying the functions of salidroside on the inflammation of intestinal epithelial cells during IBD.Materials and Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to assess the expression of IL-6, IL-10, and α-defensins 5 and 6. ELISA assay was performed to measure the secretion of IL-6 and IL-10. MTT assay was used to determine the cell viabilit...

recent reports have indicated different effects of immunostimulatory sequences containing cpg-oligodeoxynucleotides (odn) on various immune cells. however, the exact role of cpg-odn in the human gut is unclear. in the present study, we assessed potential effects of cpg-odn on non lymphoid cell (intestinal epithelial cell line ht-29) on a dose-response and time-course basis. intestinal epithelia...

Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare biphasic low grade neoplasm of salivary glands; it most commonly occurs in the parotid gland but can also arise in minor salivary glands. Here a case of 58-year-old female presented with left cheek swelling of one-year duration. CT scan revealed a localized submandibular salivary gland tumor mass not involving surrounding tissues. Histological examin...

stem cell therapy has been applied for the treatment of degenerative diseases encompassing corneal disorders.this consideration is regarding the unique characteristics of stem cells including self-renewal and pluripotency. some corneal diseases result from deficiencies in the limbal region. in these conditions, limbal stem cell therapy is considered in which limbal stem cells are cultured in vi...

Background: Chemotherapy or irradiation is associated with impaired fertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective role of testosterone enanthate (TE) on the proliferative activity, plasma testosterone level and morphometry of epithelial cells of seminal vesicles in busulfan-induced spermiotoxicity. Materials and Methods: Sprague- Dawley rats were divided into 4 gro...

The paper discusses diverse aspects of the concept epithelial-mesenchymal transition and compares basics this with classical concepts tissue biology. idea was first suggested by Elizabeth Hay (1927–2007) in 1968 based on analysis tridermogenesis development growth avian embryo. In late 80 s – early 90 twentieth century, epithelial–mesenchymal won supporters-pathomorphologists our country who ap...

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein, which is anchored in the cell membrane of prostate epithelial cells. It is highly expressed on prostate epithelial cells and strongly up-regulated in prostate cancer. Although, 177Lu-PSMA has been recently introduced for radionuclide therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with co...

SUMMARY Iris cyst occurs post intraocular -surgery or post penetrating trauma, when corneal epithelial cells or conjunctiva} epithcells gains access to the anterior chamber, with cells may continue to grow & covering all available surface and formed iris cyst. As the cyst grow may caused glaucoma or block pupil area & leads to vision treatment of all form of iris cyst and epithelial down growt...

objective(s): endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disease with unknown etiology. noscapine has been introduced as a cancer cell suppressor. endometriosis was considered as a cancer like disorder, the aim of present study was to investigate noscapine apoptotic effect on human endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells in vitro. materials and methods:in this in vitro study, endometrial biopsie...
