چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

the emergence of plasmodium vivax in dashte moghan in northwestern iran has become a major concern for iranian's health officials. knowledge of genetic make up of the p. vivax populations in this area would give us an insight into the origin of the prevalent infections and the possible routes they are introduced. this paper reports the analysis of a variable region between the two interspecies ...

Although circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium vivax (Pvcsp) has been considered to be a potential vaccine candidate, there was no information about the sequence variation in CSP of Iranian P. vivax. In current study, the prevalence of two types of Pvcsp was determined by PCR-RPLP in 374 P. vivax infected patients. In north, with one exception, all parasites were VK210, however, in south both ...

circumsporozoite protein (csp) is one of the stage specific antigens, which is used for the development of vaccines and to investigate the genetic diversity in plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite. polymerase chain reaction was used for typing of csp genes on 67 positive falciparum malaria patients from sistan and baluchistan province of iran. three fragments were detected for csp gene. twent...
متن کاملGenetic mutations in 57 and 58 codons gene of Plasmodium vivax dihydrofolate reductase
Introduction: The use of Sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine (SP) for treatment of vivax malaria is not common in most of malarious areas because of sensivity of this parasite to chloroquine. But, Plasmodium vivax isolates are exposed to SP because of mixed infection with P.falciparum and this subject has lead to emergence of mutations in P.vdhfr gene. As Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent specie...
