background & objectives: antisense peptide nucleic acids (pna) that target growth essential genes show potent bactericidal properties without cell lysis. we considered the possibility that whether pna treatment influence the bacteria total nucleic acids content and apply approach to develop a new delivery system to dendritic cells (dcs). dcs are the most potent antigen presenting cells in t...

hemiscorpius lepturus belonging to hemiscorpiidae family is the most venomous of all types of scorpion existing in south west of iran causing hemoglobinuria and dermal lesions by envenomation. we compare the hemolytic pattern upon time in different domestic animals upon time according to their different sphingomyelin contents. in addition other in vitro hematologic parameters, platelet lysis, c...

An attempt was made to find out the nature of catalase coritained in the red cell, especially in the ghost, For this the red cell ghost isolated were washed several times with CO2-saturated water or deionized water and the catalase activity per gram protein of the ghost was estimated. It was found that despite several washings, the catalase activity/gram protein of the ghost do not decrease as ...

For the purpose to clarify further the residual catalase in the blood cell ghost, the ghost has been applied to Cyanogum and starch block electrophoresis and the results are briefly summarized as follows. 1. It has been demonstrated that after Cyanogum electrophoresis of the ghost after several washings, bubbling due to enzymatic reaction of catalase occurs near the points of origin, when the p...

introdouction: the mapping of ghost images of the maxilla and the nasal cavity, which are complex structures, is very important. the position of objects that create a ghost image can differ when using various devices. the purpose of this investigation was to study the mapping of ghost images of the maxilla and the nasal cavity using a cranex d digital panoramic machine. materials and methods: t...

Many research workers have made an attempt to elucidate the nature of ghost cells by employing special histochemical methods, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, and several hypotheses have been offered without any universal agreement. With the purpose of unraveling some of the facts regarding ghost cells with emphasis on their histogenesis, a comprehensive revie...

Odontogenic ghost cell carcinoma (OGCC), a malignant counterpart of the odontogenic ghost cell tumor (OGCT), with aggressive growth characteristics, is exceedingly rare. A painful swelling in the jaw with local paresthesia is the most common symptom. We described a case of 47-year Korean woman who had a rare central epithelial odontogenic ghost cell carcinoma which recurred at reconstructed fib...
