Background: Finding a suitable pharmacological substance and a surgical method for improving cartilage graft preparation are necessary. This present study was planned to evaluate the effects of PLGF and graft preparation methods on cartilage graft survival.
Methods: This controlled, experimental study was performed in Kerman University of Medical Science, Kerman, Iran during 2016- 2017 on two groups of rabbits.
Background: A suitable pharmacological substitute for the well-established surgical delay technique for axial skin flaps regarding increasing viability is elusive. We aimed to evaluate the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BTA) on the axial skin flap survival in a rat model.
Methods: The present controlled experimental study was performed in Kerman University of Medical Science, Kermanshah, Iran during 2016-2017 on three groups of rats.
Mesenteric fibromatosis (MF) is a rare, locally aggressive tumor without distant metastasis, which has a high recurrence rate. Based on its location, it is classified as intra-abdominal, from abdominal wall, and extra-abdominal. The incidence of cystic-solid, retroperitoneal tumors is very low in comparison to other MF forms.

Effects of Montelukast have been observed to reduce ischemia/reperfusion injury in various organs due to angiogenic and anti-oxidant effects. The present study aimed to determine the role of Montelukast as medical delay of the flaps.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the vein conduit technique, with and without the addition of mesenchymal stem cells in gap-less nerve injury repair in rats.
Background: Numerous studies were carried out to develop more sophisticated dressings to expedite healing processes and diminish the bacterial burden in burn wounds. This study assessed the healing effect of nettle extract on second degree burns wound in rats in comparison with silver sulfadiazine and vaseline.
Methods: Forty rats were randomly assigned to four equal groups.
Introduction: Assessing effect of three herbal medicines on healing of deep second and third degree burns in rats and their comparison with silver sulfadiazine group.
Methods And Materials: 40 rats were randomly assigned to one of the four groups, each group 10 rats. A deep second degree burn and a third degree burn were induced on the lower back and upper back of each rat under standard burning procedure, respectively.
Background: Although zinc sulfate has been used to improve disorders originated from zinc deficiency, its low compliance is due to gastrointestinal complications; therefore, other zinc compounds have been suggested as replacers for zinc deficient people. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the absorption of ethyl and methyl zinc-maltol with that of zinc sulfate to substitute zinc sulfate with those complexes.
Materials And Methods: After five weeks of being fed by zinc deficient food, zinc deficient rats were divided into four groups randomly receiving medicinal solutions of zinc sulfate, zinc ethyl maltol and zinc methyl maltol using feeding tube method for two weeks while the control was received distilled water.
