Histopathological study of the maternal exposure to the biologically produced silver nanoparticles on different organs of the offspring.

This research for the first time presents the possibility of crossing the biologically produced SNPs through the placenta to different organs of rat offspring. SNPs were produced using Fusarium oxysporum. After adding 1 mmol final concentration of silver nitrate solution to the culture supernatant and 5 min heating, SNPs were produced, and their production was proved using visible spectrum, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses.

Effects of biologically produced gold nanoparticles: toxicity assessment in different rat organs after intraperitoneal injection.

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have different usage in the medical field. The plan of the present research was to evaluate the influence of the biologically produced GNPs on some rat organs. GNPs were produced using Fusarium oxysporum and their presence was confirmed using spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses.

Protective effect of pentoxifylline on male Wistar rat testicular germ cell apoptosis induced by 3,4-methylenedioxymeth amphetamine.

Objectives: 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) one of the methamphetamine derivatives that affect the reproductive system, has not been well understood. Many young people are consumers of drugs such as MDMA that can affect their reproductive capability. Apoptosis is the main mechanism for male infertility.

Developing a household survey tool for health equity: A practical guide in Islamic Republic of Iran.

Background: An obvious gradient in health outcomes has been implicated in many evidences relating to social and economic factors. Proper data are requested to convince policy-makers calling for intersectoral action for health. Recently, I.

Surprisingly low infertility rate in married type 2 diabetic women: A rather curious paradox to the current opinion of insulin resistance as the joint pathogenesis of poly cystic ovary syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Back Ground: Sharing the same pathophysiologic principle which is insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are usually considered closely related and easily interchangeable medical entities. Numerous attempts have been made to document this illusory perspective.

Objective: Based on a delicate pathophysiologic notion, we believe that fully developed T2DM is infrequently observed with fully featured PCOS.

Association of dysfunctional uterine bleeding with high body mass index and obesity as a main predisposing factor.

Background: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) defined as abnormal uterine bleeding in the absence of underlying structural abnormalities. Recently, obesity has been suggested as a main underling risk factor for DUB; however, evidences on the role of this predisposing factor are not adequate. The current study aimed to assess status of obesity in women who suffered from DUB.

Sudden reversible vitritis after keratoprosthesis: an immune phenomenon?

Purpose: To report our experience with late vitritis associated with keratoprosthesis (KPro).

Methods: Between 1990 and 2003, 218 patients underwent an all-polymethylmethacrylate, collar button-shaped KPro surgery. Eight patients developed a total of 12 episodes of sudden, massive vitritis.

Descemet membrane tear after cataract surgery.

Descemet membrane detachment is a potentially devastating complication of cataract surgery. Small localized detachments are rarely problematic, however persistent extensive detachments can affect visual acuity. In severe cases penetrating keratoplasty may be required for restoration of vision.

Treatment of retinal capillary hemangioma.

Objective: To report on the methods of treatment and the visual outcome of eyes with retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH).

Design: Retrospective consecutive noncomparative case series.

Participants: Data on 68 patients with RCH were reviewed for the methods of treatment and visual outcome.
