Background: The fetal amniotic membrane is a biological graft with unique qualities which all lead to wound protection, reducing discomfort, and achieving adequate epithelialization.
Materials And Methods: In this animal study, the second and third premolars of the mandible of 4 dogs were extracted. After 4 weeks, 20 mm of mandibular premolar site area were resected on both sides.
Background: This study was proposed to evaluate a new method for autograft transplantation of liver tissue fragments (LTF) in the lung parenchyma and bronchus of dogs and to compare the results to find out if they are suitable sites for hepatocyte implantation or not.
Materials And Methods: THE DOGS WERE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED INTO TWO CATEGORIES: LTF auto-transplantation to the lung parenchyma and into the bronchus. The suspensions of normal saline and LTF were injected and implanted into the lung parenchyma and the main bronchus of the right accessory lobe in first and second groups, respectively.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of melatonin on ischemia-reperfusion syndrome.
Methods: Thirty-three adult male Wistar albino rats were randomized into three experimental groups of 11: Group C --control group with no ischemia or reperfusion. Groups I/R and I/R + M had 2.
Background: This study was designed to evaluate the wound healing effects of kiwifruit in the treatment of second-degree burn wounds in rats.
Methods: Sixty rats were each randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups. A deep second-degree burn was created on the lateral flank of each rat with a standard burning procedure in the form of applying a heated plaque.
