Cardioprotective effects of cerebrolysin on the lesion severity and inflammatory factors in a rat model of isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury.

Background: Myocardial injury (MI) is an important heart condition and a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The current study was designed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of cerebrolysin (CLY) on the lesion severity and inflammatory factors in male rats using isoproterenol (ISO)-induced MI model.

Methods: MI in rats was induced by injecting ISO (100 mg/kg) subcutaneously (sc) on the first 2 days.

Ameliorative effects of cerebrolysin against isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury in male rats.

Aims: Myocardial injury (MI) is the principal cause of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study was conducted to investigate the ameliorative and antioxidant effects of cerebrolysin (CBL) on isoproterenol-induced MI in rats.

Methods: MI was induced in the rats by subcutaneously injecting 100 mg/kg of isoproterenol (ISO) in the first two days.

Evaluation of survivin expression in prostate specimens of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma and benign prostate hyperplasia underwent transurethral resection of the prostate or prostatectomy.

Background: Survivin is a newly found member of the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins, which plays a certain role in cancer. Survivin has a distinctly different expression in cancers, including prostate cancer. We are searching for the relationship between survivin levels in normal prostate tissue, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate adenocarcinoma in this study.

5-Year data analysis of patients following abdominal wall endometrioma surgery.

Background: Endometriosis is a disorder in which an ectopic endometrial tissue grows outside the uterine cavity. The ectopic endometrium embedded in the subcutaneous fatty layer and the muscles of abdominal wall is called as abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). AWE is a rare condition; however, it is usually known to develop along with previous surgical scars.

Reporting a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the breast.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common tumor type in the salivary gland. PA is uncommon in the breast tissue. Only 73 cases of PA of the breast have been reported in the world literature.

The Prevalence of Barrett's Esophagus in Outpatients with Dyspepsia in Shaheed Beheshti Hospital of Kashan.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the main known etiological factor for Barrett's esophagus (BE), and BE is the precursor lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma. The prevalence of BE is reported mostly from gastroenterology centers and there are only a few reported cases from outpatients with dyspepsia. A large number of patients with GERD have degrees of dyspepsia.

The value of touch preparation for rapid diagnosis of brain tumors as an intraoperative consultation.

Background: The touch preparation technique is an accurate and rapid method, and when used as intraoperative consultation examination technique it preserves a good amount of tissue for paraffin embedded sections. This study aimed at examining the accuracy of the touch preparation technique by comparing its diagnosis with that of final pathological diagnosis made by microscopic examinations.

Methods: The diagnoses of 139 central nervous system lesions by touch preparation technique and paraffin-embedded sections were compared.
