A Study on the Effective Ratio of Fat to Stromal Vascular Fraction for Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer
Fat grafting, used for soft tissue augmentation during aesthetic or reconstructive plastic surgery, has disadvantages of low efficiency and unpredictable resorption rate. As an alternative, cell-assisted lipot...

Open AccessProgesterone produces antinociceptive and neuroprotective effects in rats with microinjected lysophosphatidic acid in the trigeminal nerve root
In our present study, we studied the role of demyelination of the trigeminal nerve root in the development of prolonged nociceptive behavior in the trigeminal territory.

Open AccessBehavioral evidence for the differential regulation of p-p38 MAPK and p-NF-κB in rats with trigeminal neuropathic pain
We investigated the differential regulation of p-p38 MAPK or p-NF-κB in male Sprague-Dawley rats with inferior alveolar nerve injury resulting from mal-positioned dental implants. For this purpose, we characte...

Metastatic lymph node 51 and fibroblast-like synoviocyte hyperproliferation in rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis
One of the varied characteristic features of the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is synovial hyperplasia. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play a key role in the development of sustained inflammat...

Open AccessIntracisternal administration of NR2 subunit antagonists attenuates the nociceptive behavior and p-p38 MAPK expression produced by compression of the trigeminal nerve root
We investigated the role of the central NMDA receptor NR2 subunits in the modulation of nociceptive behavior and p-p38 MAPK expression in a rat model with compression of the trigeminal nerve root. To address t...

DC immunotherapy is highly effective for the inhibition of tumor metastasis or recurrence, although it is not efficient for the eradication of established solid tumors
Dendritic cell (DC)-based immunotherapy has not been as effective as expected in most solid tumors even in the murine model, particularly in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Our investigation was initiated to ident...
