Telomere length attrition and chronic periodontitis: an ARIC Study nested case-control study

Telomere length and pancreatic cancer: a case-control study.

BACKGROUND Telomeres, the ends of chromosomes, are critical for maintaining genomic stability and grow shorter with age. Shortened telomeres in pancreatic tissue play a key role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer, and shorter telomeres in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) have been associated with increased risk for several cancer types. We hypothesized that shorter blood telomeres are as...

مطالعات قبلی بازار بیمه را به صورت کلی در نظر می گرفتند اما در این مطالعه صنعت بیمه به عنوان متغیر مستفل به بیمه های زندگی و غیر زندگی شکسته شده و هم چنین بیمه های زندگی به رشته های مختلف بیمه ای که در بازار بیمه ایران سهم قابل توجهی دارند تقسیم میشود. با استفاده از روشهای اقتصاد سنجی داده های برای دوره های 48-89 از مراکز ملی داده جمع آوری شد سپس با تخمین مدل خود بازگشتی برداری همراه با تعدادی ...

Case–Control Study, Nested

Association of leukocyte telomere length with breast cancer risk: nested case-control findings from the Shanghai Women's Health Study.

Telomeres are specialized chromatin structures essential for the maintenance of chromosomal integrity and stability. Telomere shortening has been linked to multiple aging-related diseases, including cancer. Evidence associating telomere length with breast cancer risk-most of which has been from retrospective case-control studies-is conflicting. We conducted a nested case-control study based on ...

Association of leukocyte telomere length with colorectal cancer risk: nested case-control findings from the Shanghai Women's Health Study.

BACKGROUND Telomeres are specialized chromatin structures essential for maintenance of chromosomal integrity and stability. Abnormal alteration of telomere length has been linked to several cancers; however, epidemiologic evidence about the association of telomere length with colorectal cancer risk has been conflicting. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study to evaluate the associat...
