peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (pbsct) is an effective treatment for hematological malignancies. mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells performs in different ways among transplantation centers. forceful mobilization schedules are comprised of growth factor alone, chemotherapy along with growth factor and also, a newly combination of novel agent such as plerixafor with any...

a common cause of peripheral nerve injury is trauma. the positive effect of antioxidants on the improvement of nerve regeneration has currently become a focus of attention. in this experiment, the effect of intraperitoneal administration of ubiquinone (coq10) on an acute experimentally sciatic nerve crush was studied in a rat model. forty-five male wistar rats, weighing between 160-180 g were u...

Abstract Aims Growth reductions and yield losses from drought could be mitigated by developing rice genotypes with more efficient root systems. We examined spatiotemporal responses to in order determine whether roots upper vs. deeper soil layers respond differently stress. Methods Root anatomical architectural phenotypes of two genotypes, Azucena (drought tolerant) IR64 susceptible), were measu...

Dendrocalamus brandisii is an edible bamboo species found in Southwest China and South Asia. However, there is limited information about the anatomical and chemical information of its culms for its utilization and processing. In this paper, the anatomical and chemical properties of different age culms were determined. There are three vascular bundle types found in its culms. The radial length-t...

0305-7364/0 * For corre { Present Durham, NC Paspalum dilatatum occupies di€erent topographic positions in the Flooding Pampa, Argentina. Populations from di€erent positions are subjected to various regimes of ̄ooding and drought, both of which may occur in the same growing season. We investigated the constitutive and plastic anatomical traits of P. dilatatum populations from habitats with contr...

ABSTRACT Physiological and structural alterations in broad beans (Vicia faba cv. Giza Blanka) in response to 10 M CuSO4, 10 M CdSO4 and a mixture of both solutions were recorded in 15and 25day-old plants. These treatments caused significant reductions in shoot height, leaflet area, fresh and dry weights, stomatal frequency, cell area in abaxial epidermis of leaflets, length and width of stomata...

the objective of this study was to describe the role of electrical stimulation in controlling peripheral vertigo. in a prospective study on 13 healthy volunteers, nystagmus was induced with caloric stimulation and the interval of nystagmus disappearance was recorded. this time indicates the basal response of vestibular end-organ. after caloric irrigation, pulsed signal was applied for each pers...

introduction: multiple sclerosis (ms) is generally known as a manageable but not yet curable autoimmune disease affecting central nervous system. a potential therapeutic approach should possess several properties: prevent immune system from damaging the brain and spinal cord, promote differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (opcs) into mature oligodendrocytes to produce myelin, preve...
