Read More Introduction Brain trauma is one of the most common causes of hospitalization, disability, and mortality of people aged 15 to 74 years in nowadays societies. On the other hand, nowadays, different categories of stem cells are used to treat different kinds of diseases. BM-MSCs, are center of scientific research because of their high differentiation and proliferation ability. Methods: Stem cells were isolated from animal bone marrow and after cultivation in passage 3, they were labeled with dose of 5 mg/ ml of USPIO (prepared by the Institute of Sharif Teb System), after 36 hours, they were incubated in the cultivation medium. To confirm the iron nanoparticles inside the cells Prussian blue staining was used. A number of 5 × 105 labeled MSC injected in rabbit the through the auricular artery , and the rabbits were imaged in coil wrists at time intervals of 1 week after injury , 1 ,3 ,10 ,16 and 24 days after injection by 1.5-T MRI system . In addition, Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR studies were used to evaluate cells differentiation into neurons or neuroglia. Results: 24 hours after injection of MSCs, MRI images showed that almost half of the cells have accumulated in the lungs, however 72 hours later the labeled MSC signals were observed as hypointensive areas in the lesion site on the T2* relaxation time. Results also showed that 1.5 T MRI scanner is capable of tracking of the cells up to 16 days after injection. 8 animals at specified time intervals (up to day 16) were killed .The results of Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR on day 64 after injection showed that the cells in the lesion site express the proteins, such as GFAP and Beta tubulin III, that are the markers of astrocytes and neurons, respectively. Conclusion: Furthermore, their differentiation into neuroglia cells or even neurons (without getting into the laboratory environment) could be a promising approach for treating different kinds of brain injuries and other disorders of the nervous system. However, another important issue is the restricting factor of the lung which traps a large number of systemically transplanted cells. Thus, the systemic injection through the artery is suggested. Keywords: Brain trauma, Cells transplantation, Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Read More Introduction: The extreme reduction in breast milk intake during the first days of life leads to weight loss, kidney failure and hypernatremia. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between hypernatremia in neonates and way of maternal breastfeeding in hospitalized infants in Ghaem Hospital of Mashhad. Materials and Methods: After obtaining parental consent, 687 infants referred to the neonatal ward and clinic of Ghaem hospital of Mashhad participated in this cross-sectional study. First, complete history of the mother and baby regarding pregnancy and delivery problems, way of breastfeeding, and the first time of lactation beginning were obtained. Then neonates were divided into two groups of normal and hypernatremia (sodium≥150 mg/dl) according to the amount of blood sodium level. Data was analyzed using correlation tests, chi-square, t test and Mann-Whitney tests with SPSS software (version 11.5). Results: According to the findings of this study, the average age (P=0.911), Apgar scores (P=0.192), time of the first lactation (P=0.081) and breast feeding duration (P=o.108) showed no statistically significant difference between normal and hypernatremia groups. But the admission weight (P=0.011), times of lactation (P=0.108), breast-feeding status (P=0.001), let down reflex in mother’s breast (0.001), kind of nutrition (P=o.oo1), breast filling after childbirth and lactation (P=0.000), and breast softening after breast-feeding (P=0.000), urination frequency (P=0.000), defecation frequency (P=0.000) and duration of maternal hospitalization (P=0.007) showed statistically significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Neonatal weight control, times of lactation, lactation status, breast changes during breast feeding and frequency of urination and defecation may be effective in the early detection of the reduced breast milk intake and the control of the related complications. Key Words: Breast Feedinf, Breast Milk, Hypernatremia, Neonate, weight loss.

Read More Introduction: During the last decade, advances in tissue engineering and stem cell-based tooth regeneration have provided realistic and attractive means of replacing lost or damaged teeth. The first adult stem cells isolated from dental tissues were dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). When transplanted with hydroxyl apatite/tri calcium phosphate (HA/TCP) powder, they formed a dentin-like structure lined with odontoblast-like cells that surrounded a pulp-like interstitial tissue. DPSCs could differentiate in vitro into other mesenchymal cell derivatives such as odontoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts and could also differentiate into functionally active neurons. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have also been isolated from the dental pulp of human deciduous teeth. When these cells are transplanted mixed with HA/TCP in vivo, they can form dentin and bone but not dentin–pulp complexes. Stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) are found in the papilla tissue in the apical part of the roots of developing teeth. The third molars and teeth with open apices are an important source of SCAPs. Transplantation of SCAPs and periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) into tooth sockets allowed the formation of dentin and periodontal ligament. Dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) have also been isolated from the follicles of developing third molars. They can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and nerve-like cells in vitro and form cementum and periodontal ligament in vivo. Results: Future therapeutic approaches for the restoration of damaged dentin, pulp, cementum, and periodontal ligaments may make use of autologous stem cells that have been stored after removal from the patient. Conclusion:With regard to clinical application, these stem cells share the common obstacles of ethical concern arising from their embryonic origin, the risk of tumorigenesis, and the possibility of immune rejection after allogeneic transplantation. Keywords: Tooth Regeneration, Stem Cell.

Read More Background :Gelatin and chitosan are known as biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymers.These biopolymers have recently receivedincreasingly more attention for tissueengineering.The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity effects of gelatin-chitosan film on bone marrow stromal cell(BMSCs) culture in rat. Materials & Methods: First, gelatin- chitosan composites film were prepared by solution mixing, followed by film casting of both biopolymers in glacial acetic acid.After two passage of BMSCs culture, the cells were cultured in four plate groups including: control plates have no any film,gelatinplates,chitosan plates and gelatin- chitosan plates.Theproliferation,differentiation,viability and apoptosis rates of BMSCs were studied duringthesecond,fourthand sixth days.The activity of superoxidedismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT)and glutathione(GSH) and malondialdehyde(MDA) levels were determined by using biochemical methods. Results:The results showed that the mean BMSCs proliferation significantly reduced in chitosan group compared to control group (p<0.05),but in gelatin and gelatin- chitosan groups were similar to control group.Mean percentage of BMSCs apoptosis in all groups except chitosan group were similar to control group. Mean percentage of BMSCs viability at all groups was similar to control group except chitosan film. In addition, no significant changes were observed in CAT activity and GSH and MDA levels in comparison with control group.After72hours,SOD activity in gelatin-chitosan group was significantly reduced compared to other groups. No cell differentiation was detected in all groups. Conclusion: Results of proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and antioxidantactivity in cultured BMSCs on a gelatin–chitosanfilm showed that gelatin-chitosanfilm can be used in tissue engineering and cell therapy as a good model of a biodegradable scaffold. Keywords: Antioxidant system, Bone Marrow StromalCells, Cell Proliferation andDifferentiation, Gelatin-Chitosan Film.
