[ 7 ] - Detection of Experimental Cryptosporidiosis in Neonatal Mice and Rats by Nested-PCR

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to model Cryptosporidiosis in laboratory animals. The parasites were inoculated into animalsand thenmultiplied. The process of proliferation was compared to controlCryptosporidiosis in humans. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five laboratory mice (4-7 days of age) and twenty-five laboratory rats (5 days of age) were assigned to the category I while the cat...

[ 8 ] - مقایسه نتایج دو روش ایمونوهیستوشیمی و Real-Time PCR در ارزیابی ژن HER-2 در بافت سرطانی پستان

  سابقه و هدف: HER-2/neu یکی از نشانگرهای پیش آگهی مولکولی عمده در سرطان پستان بوده و با توجه به دستورالعمل ‌ های تصمیم ‌ گیری درمان، تکثیر این ژن در روند درمان بیماران مبتلا به سرطان پستان بسیار مهم می ‌ باشد. رایج ‌ ترین روش استفاده شده برای تشخیص تکثیر ژن HER-2/neu ایمونوهیستوشیمی (IHC) است. نتایج غیرقابل سنجش، عدم تکرارپذیری و زمان طولانی از اشکالات عمده این روش بوده که محققان را بر آن داشت...

[ 9 ] - The Interaction Between the Expression of Proliferative Biomarkers and Clinical Characteristics in Breast Cancer

Introduction: Proliferation of cancer cells and the potential of metastasis depend on the activity of different biomarkers such as proliferative ones. Proliferative biomarkers including ki-67, cyclin E1, cyclin D1, p27, and p21 were analyzed through immunohistochemistry (IHC) in previous studies. Methods: The current study aimed at investigating the utilizing role of RT-PCR in studying prolife...

[ 10 ] - The Applicability of the Gail Model in Iranian Population

Introduction: Gail model is one of the most important models for the evaluation of breast cancer risk between US white females. According to genetic diversity, there is a possibility of affecting the efficiency of the Gail model in risk assessment of breast cancer among Iranian populations. In this study, the Gail model efficiency in specifying the risk of breast cancer in Iranian population wa...

[ 11 ] - Multidisciplinary Cancer Investigation: A New Path to Delve into the Ocean of Cancer Sciences

On behalf of the editorial and executive board members, it is my great pleasure to present the Multidisciplinary Cancer Investigation Journal. The rapid growth of medical sciences has necessitated the development of platforms to distribute and publish the results of research projects, and declare new discoveries. Among all medical disciplines, cancer is the one that involves the largest number...
