Introduction: We aimed to study the effects of different CO2  pressures on expression of P33 gene and apoptosis in liver and spleen cells during CO2 pneumoperitoneum.  Methods: This study was performed on 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing between 280 and 340 g (procured from Tehran Pasteur Institute’s animal house). They were randomly divided into 3 equal groups. Groups 1 a...

Objective: In diabetic patients, hyperglycemia is associated with impaired FOXO signaling pathways in liver cells. This study aimed to determine the effect of resistance training on FOXO1 expression in liver hepatocytes and fasting glucose levels in type 2 diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, type 2 diabetes induced by intraperitoneal injection of nicotinamide-STZ ...

background: stearic acid is known as a potent anti-inflammatory lipid. this fatty acid has profound and diverse effects on liver metabolism. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of stearic acid on markers of hepatocyte transplantation in rats with acetaminophen (apap)-induced liver damage. methods: wistar rats were randomly assigned to 10-day treatment. stearic acid was administe...

P. vermicola is an opportunistic pathogen of human and animals. To estimate the pathogeneses P.vermicola in mice infected orally I/P with 1x108 CFU/ml).The histopathological changes at 24 hrs showed infiltration inflammatory cells apoptosis hepatocytes liver, around a congested blood vessel interstitial tissue kidney; lung revealed congestion vessels, alveolar emphysema; intestine appeared mono...

A drastic difference exists between the 5-year survival rates of colorectal cancer patients with localized and distal organ metastasis. The liver is most favorable for metastases from colorectum. Beyond liver-colon anatomic relationship, emerging evidence highlights impact immune microenvironment on Prior to cell dissemination, hepatocytes secrete multiple factors recruit or activate cells stro...

Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL), a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis is defined by bone marrow involvement as atypical and aleukemic mast cells, if more than 20% and less than 10% of peripheral WBCs are mast cells, respectively. We met a case of aleukemic MCL presenting with anemia and ascites for 2 years, referred for BM evaluation, suspicious of leukemia. Our findings included BM involveme...

background: human embryonic stem cells (hesc), which are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocysts, have been considered to be pluripotent cells. in this study we examine the differentiating potential of hesc into hepatocytes by characterization of the expression of endoderm and liver-specific genes. methods: hesc were cultivated in suspension to form aggregates, the embryoid bodies. ...

human diploid fibroblast cells produce a spectrum of necessary growth factors and extracellular matrix (ecm) components essential for growth and proliferation of a variety of other cell types. in this study, the effect of five human embryonic fibroblast cell lines, isolated from liver, lung, skin and foreskin tissues, was investigated. a coculture system analyse was employed to cloning efficien...

purpose: to recognize affective factors in delivering x-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   materials and methods: since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). x-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   results: radio...
