Objective(s): Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) with more potent immunomodulatory effects, greater proliferative potential and secretion of growth factors and cytokines in comparison with bone marrow derived MSCs are more appropriate for cell therapy. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the histomorphometric effect of AT-MSCs allotransplantation on regeneration ...

Background: Laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). The tensile strength of radiated tissue by LLLT is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation.Objective: In this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic ti...

PARENCHYMATOUS xerosis has been known for a very long time. Various therapeutic measures have been employed from time to time without any real success. The condition has been regarded as incurable, and DukeElder (1938) states that relief can be obtained only by oily drops. Encouraged by the results of keratoplasty, I decided to try the operation of conjunctivoplasty in the so-called incurable c...

Stem cell-based therapy has great potential in treating health conditions including cardiovascular, autoimmune, type I diabetes, neurodegenerative and bone and cartilage diseases also in spinal cord injuries, malformations and cancer. In addition to their potential use to treat systemic diseases, stem cell-based therapy also provides a powerful tool to treat oral and dental diseases such as cra...

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are ideal candidates for treatment of diseases. Amniotic membranes are an inexpensive source of MSCs (AM-MSC) without any donor site morbidity in cell therapy. Adipose tissue derived stem cells (ASCs) are also suitable cells for cell therapy. There is discrepancy in CD271 expression among MSCs from different sources. In this study, the characteristics...

helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastric ulcer, adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (malt) lymphoma. up to now, different regimens have been used for helicobacter pylori (h.pylori) eradication to find the most potent and cost-effective regimen with less side effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of standard triple therapy versus quadruple therap...

PurposeRadiation therapy is an important treatment component for patients with lung cancer. However, the survival time gained clinical radiation techniques relatively short. Data from preclinical experiments suggest that synchrotron microbeam could be much better suited to control malignant brain tumors than current concepts of therapy. Even at peak doses several hundred gray, extent functional...
