[ 1 ] - Tissue Expression of Prohibition-I and Its Relationship With Prognostic Factors in Breast Cancer

Background & objective: Globally, breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females. Prohibition (PHB)-I, a homologous protein, was initially introduced as a suppressor gene for amplification process. Further, the protein has a key role in the cell cycle and is capable of inhibiting DNA transcription in many cell types. Therefore, its possible role in different...

[ 2 ] - ارجحیت مدرسین دروس مقطع علوم پایه با پایه پزشکی از دیدگاه دانشجویان پزشکی و دندانپزشکی

Background and Objective: A growing concern has emerged that all is not completely well with undergraduate medical education in some parts of the world. An important neglected issue is about the basic science educators. We aimed to investigate the medical and dentistry students' viewpoints on basic science education by instructors with a background of medicine. Materials and Methods:  T...

[ 3 ] - The Status of Nitric Oxide and its Backup, Heme Oxygenase 1, in Thromboangiitis Obliterans

Background: Until recently, a gene polymorphism in the promoter region of endothelial nitric oxide synthase has been suggested as a risk factor for thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) development. The aim of this study was to compare the metabolites of nitric oxide (NO) and its backup, heme-oxygenase-1 (HMOX1), between TAO patients and those of a smoking control group matched by race, age, sex, an...

[ 4 ] - Supportive Data for Galectin-3 as a Prognostic Factor in Coronary Artery Disease

Introduction: Galectin-3 is known as a biomarker in patients with heart failure. This protein participates in different mechanisms involved in atherosclerosis including inflammation and plaque formation. This study was conducted to investigate whether this factor could be a predictive biomarker for the severity of atherosclerosis. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 80 patients ...

[ 5 ] - A Comparative Study of hs-CRP Diagnostic Value and ABCD2 Criteria in Predicting the Future Incidence of Acute Cerebrovascular Events during Follow-up in TIA Patients

Background and purpose: Stroke is the most common and the most deadly neurological disease that is accompanied with many complications. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of hs-CRP and ABCD2 criteria in predicting the future incidence of acute cerebrovascular events during follow-up in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Materials and methods: This cohort stud...
