Protective effect of pycnogenol against gamma radiation-induced lung injury in rat: DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant levels, and histopathological changes.

Background And Objective: The study aims to evaluate the histopathological changes, enzymatic alterations, and DNA damage in rat lungs induced by whole-body gamma irradiation as well as evaluation of the protective effect of pycnogenol.

Materials And Methods: A hundred adult male rats were equally divided into ten groups including control, four antioxidants, γ-irradiation, four antioxidant + γ-irradiations. This study began the day before radiation treatment and continued for 3 days.

Absorptive capacity in the adoption of innovations in health: a scoping review.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to explore how absorptive capacity has been conceptualized and measured in studies of innovation adoption in health care organizations.

Introduction: Current literature highlights the need to incorporate knowledge translation processes at the organizational and system level to enhance the adoption of new knowledge into practice. Absorptive capacity is a set of routines and processes characterized by knowledge acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and application.

The Effect of Gene Mutations on Metastasis and Overall Survival in Metastatic and Nonmetastatic Colon Cancers.

Objective: It is known that many genes are associated with colon cancer. We aimed to investigate the effect of gene mutations on metastasis and overall survival in metastatic and non metastatic colon cancers.

Methods: A total of 50 patients with metastatic (n=25) and non metastatic (n=25) diagnosed with colon cancer between 2010 and 2018 were included in the study.

Absorptive capacity in the adoption of innovations in health care: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: To explore how absorptive capacity has been conceptualized and measured in studies of innovation adoption in health care organizations.

Introduction: Current literature highlights the need to incorporate knowledge translation processes at the organizational and system level to enhance the adoption of new knowledge into practice. Absorptive capacity is a set of routines and processes characterized by knowledge acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and application.

The effect of growth factors on induction of mesenchymal stem cell to the skeletal muscle cells.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of IGF1 and FGF2 growth factors on the differentiation of human adipose tissue‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into skeletal muscle cells.

Methods: MSCs were divided into four groups. Group I (control group) was incubated only in myogenic medium, group II was incubated by adding 100 ng/ml FGF2 to the myogenic medium, group III was incubated by adding 20 ng/ml IGF1 to the myogenic medium, group IV was incubated by adding 100 ng/ml FGF2 and 20 ng/ml IGF1 to the myogenic medium.
