<b>Background and Objective:</b> The hBM-MSCs have a high level of differentiation and proliferation in the healing process of cuts and burns. This study aimed to determine the role of hBM-MSCs in the formation of granulation tissue in diabetic burnt rats. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Thirty rats were divided into two groups; phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as a control group and a treatment group (BM-MSCs 2×10<sup>6</sup> cells/mL).

The performance was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TG-DTA), scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results showed that the sterilization process of FeCuNi-TiO in cell suspension of , and increased the effectiveness of UV irradiation at wavelength (λ) ≥ 385 nm after 120 min.

Objectives: Gestational diabetes (GDM) complications affect maternal and fetus . GDM's vascular dysfunction showed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) alteration and was linked to the higher production of nitrogen species, leading to diabetic embryopathy. () has been reported for its anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects.

Aim: We analysed the relationship between place of residence and maternal food intake of vitamin D and calcium in West Sumatra, Indonesia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 203 pregnant women.
Background: A variety of recent evidence exists about the clinical implication of low level of Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in pregnancy. This glycoprotein is a protease, which releases the Insulin-like growth factor from IGFBP 4. Its role is a trophoblastic invasion of decidua, stimulation of cell mitosis and differentiation.

Background And Objectives: An adequate level of maternal vitamin D is essential for maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. We examined the relationship between lifestyle, maternal vitamin D intake and the vitamin D status of pregnant women. Methods and Study designs: The sample of the cross-sectional study was 203 third trimester pregnant women in September-November 2016 in four different districts of West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Although there is still controversy, there has been no research that compares the expression of proteasome in tissue and serum at each of these stages. This study aimed to investigated the expression of proteasome at different stages of atherosclerosis using rat model.
