Fungi and mycobacteria are ubiquitous in our environment. Many organisms colonise skin, airways other sites. Identifying tissue, along with the characteristic immune response to is essential diagnosis of fungal mycobacterial infections. Morphological appearances often non-specific, staining patterns, cultures methods, including molecular techniques used specifically identifying organisms. Host ...

1. The acetone-soluble fat of tubercle bacilli produces a profound cellular reaction when injected into normal animals. The reaction involves every type of connective tissue cell. Hemorrhage, formation of adhesions and of tubercular tissue occur. The extent of the reaction is roughly proportional to the amount of material injected. 2. The reaction induced by the lipoid is much less extensive an...

background: development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has led to designing scaffolds and their modification to provide a better microenvironment which mimics the natural niche of the cells. gelatin surface modification was applied to improve scaffold flexibility and cytocompatibility. methods: plla/pcl aligned fibrous scaffold was fabricated using electrospinning method. adscs...

Poly(lactic aicd) particles stimulate collagen production through foreign body reaction, contributing to the formation of fibrotic tissues which is beneficial for variety tissue-related therapies such as facial rejuvenation and wound healing.

aim : to evaluate the diagnostic value of helicobacter pylori stool antigen test before and after eradication background : there are different methods for diagnosis and follow up of helicobacter pylori infection, including invasive methods done with endoscopy and non invasive ones such as ubt and urine analysis antibody. one of non invasive new methods is analysis of helicobacter pylori stool a...

The conversion of citrullme to arginine by a transimination reaction involving glutamic acid and metabolically related compounds has been reported to take place in kidney slices by Borsook and Dubnoff (1). These authors found that liver slices did not catalyze the reaction and further that the breakdown of cell structure of kidney tissue, such as by homogenization, resulted in a loss of activit...
