a multiple colorimetric assay has been introduced to evaluate the proliferation and determination of survival fraction (sf) of irradiated cells. the estimation of sf based on the cell‑growth curve information is the major advantage of this assay. in this study, the utility of multiple‑mts assay for the sf estimation of irradiated ht‑29 colon cancer cells, which were plated before irradiation, w...

conclusions flushing dental unit waterlines are an effective measure in reducing the number of bacterial contaminants. results bacterial contamination was found in all 24 units at the beginning of daily activity with a mean colony count of 17850. the number of colonies decreased to 3250 following 30 seconds of flushing in 16 units and later to 1837 after flushing for two minutes in 13 units. in...

background: the present study was designed to evaluate the homing potential of mouse embryonic stem cells (esc) treated with erythropoietin (epo) in hematopoietic organs such as spleen and liver after transplantation using morphological and immuno-histochemical techniques. methods: day-four embryoid body (eb)-derived cells were dissociated and re-plated in medium in the presence and absence of ...

introduction genetic background has known to be associated with the outcome of human t cell lymphotropic virus (htlv) type i infection. in the present study we investigate the association between gm-csf gene polymorphisms with the outcome of htlv-i infection. materials and methods we analyzed 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promter region of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating fa...

mutation in a hemopoietic stem cell, burst-forming unit erythroid (BFU-E) colonies, colony-forming unit granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), and colonyforming unit-eosinophil (CFU-Eo) were grown from a blood group 0 patient with a typical Tn syndrome displaying two distinct populations (Tn+ and Tn-) of platelets, granulocytes, and erythrocytes. A large number of colonies was observed. Individual co...

Introduction: The current study investigated the combination of high Z atoms (iodine-, platinium-based drugs) with using low energy irradiation (120kvp) in Anaplastic Thyroid cancer cells.Materials and Methods: For this purpose, eight groups were designed: control (CNT), different concentrations of Iodine contrast media (ICM),  irradiation with various doses, Cis-platin (CDDP) with different c...
