objective: demyelination of cns axons occurs under pathological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries, but can be repaired by cell therapy. within the cns remyelination can be achieved by transplantation of neural stem cells (nscs). nscs are self-renewing cells that maintain the capacity to differentiate into cns-specific cell types and can differentiate into the three ...

background: in recent years we have successfully adopted an in vitro hepatogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs). in this protocol the biologically active hepatocyte-like cells were differentiated from the stem cells isolated from either bone marrow or umbilical cord blood (ucb) samples. the aim of the present study was to compare the efficiency of the hepatogenic differentiati...

UNLABELLED In some patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, dosimetry is necessary to avoid toxicity from therapy and to guide prescription of the administered activity of radioiodine. METHODS The presentations and courses of 2 patients exemplify the points. In the second patient, the clues to the need for dosimetry were the large size of the tumor and high circulating levels of t...

in order to study the normal hematopoiesis, cellular components and myeloid/erythroid (m/e) ratio in the bone marrow of the pheasant (phasianus colchicus), bone marrow samples were collected from the proximal tibiotarsus bone of 16 clinically healthy adult pheasant. the bone marrow smears were stained using the giemsa stain. the results indicated that the development and formation of blood cell...

Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...

background and objectives: bone marrow necrosis (bmn) is a rare and ominous complication of wide variety of diseases including hematologic malignancy. this study was performed to identify frequency and the underlying associated diseases of marrow necrosis. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, totally 850 bone marrow trephine biopsies related to living patients at the pathology depa...

BackgroundThe present review study provides specific evidence to assess the impact of distraction techniques and hypnosis on the pain of bone marrow aspiration in children.Materials and MethodsThis review study aimed to determine the effects of distraction techniques and hypnosis on the controlling pain of bone marrow aspiration in children. Internal databases (SID, Magiran, IranMedex and Irand...

UNLABELLED The organs at risk in radionuclide therapy with (177)Lu-octreotate are the bone marrow and the kidneys. The primary aim of this study was to develop an individualized dosimetry protocol for the bone marrow. The secondary aim was to identify those patients, undergoing fractionated therapy with 7.4 GBq/cycle, who first reached an accumulated dose of either 2 Gy to the bone marrow or 23...
