Exosomal non-coding RNAs: Emerging therapeutic targets in atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis is an LDL-driven and inflammatory disorder of the sub-endothelial space. Available data have proposed that various factors could affect atherosclerosis pathogenesis, including inflammation, oxidation of LDL particles, endothelial dysfunction, foam cell formation, proliferation, and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In addition, other research indicated that the crosstalk among atherosclerosis-induced cells is a crucial factor in modulating atherosclerosis.

Comparison of the Effect of Adipocyte-derived Stem Cells and Curcumin Nanoliposomes with Phenytoin on Open Cutaneous Wound Healing in Rats.

Background: Reducing the healing time of wounds can decrease the patient's immobility time and their medical costs, leading a faster return of the patients to daily work.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of adipose-derived stem cells and curcumin- containing liposomal nanoparticles with phenytoin on wound healing.

Methods: After anesthesia of the rats, open skin ulcers were made by a bistoury blade.

Evaluation of skeletal age based on Greulich-Pyle method in Tehran.

Although bone age plays a special role in determining the child's age, there are some variations in skeletal growth of different people. The aim of this study was to compare the bone age with chronological age of children aged 2-18 years old in order to recognize whether Greulich-Pyle (GP) method could be reliable for Iranian children? The standard radiograph of Left hand was taken in 40 healthy subjects, then the bone age was determined according to GP. Mean ± SD bone ages were delayed 1.
