High-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer. HPV oncogenes are responsible for the development of malignancy, and the E6 oncoprotein that HPV expresses induces the degradation of tumour suppressor protein p53 (p53). This degradation leads to the upregulation of p16; however, unidentified proteins may also serve a role in the development and progression of cervi...

STUDY DESIGN Soft tissue-related injuries to the cervical spine structures were produced by use of intact entire human cadavers undergoing rear-end impacts. Radiography, computed tomography, and cryomicrotomy techniques were used to evaluate the injury. OBJECTIVES To replicate soft tissue injuries resulting from single input of whiplash acceleration to whole human cadavers simulating vehicula...

background: exposure of the gingival sulcus while controlling hemorrhage is prerequisites for maximizing treatment outcomes of cervical carious lesions and for obtaining quality impressions for the fabrication of indirect restorations with cervical fi nish lines. gingival retraction cords saturated with different chemical agents are widely used for this purpose. the aim of this study was to inv...

BACKGROUND One of the basic principles in the primary survey of a trauma patient is immobilisation of the cervical spine till cleared of any injury. Lateral cervical spine radiograph is one of the important initial radiographic assessments. More than often additional radiographs like the Swimmer's view are necessary for adequate visualisation of the cervical spine. How good is the Swimmer's vie...

The thymus is a gland originating from the epithelium, which forms in the third portion of the pharynx during the tissue matching that takes place in the sixth week of fetal life. In the eighth week of fetal life there is a migration of the thymus from the cervical region towards the caudal and medial region to its final location at the upper mediastinum. Failure of this migration will cause ab...

We previously mapped a nonrandom frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) region in cervical cancers to 1 Mb of 6p23. Here, we describe the identification of a novel cervical cancer susceptibility gene, CD83. The gene was identified by several complementary approaches, including a family-based association study, comparison of transcript expression in normal and cancerous tissue, and genomic sequen...

conclusions our study shows that prevalence of hpv infection in cervical biopsy samples collected from suspected patients in khouzestan province is slightly higher than other provinces of iran. since hpv cervical infection, is an indicator for the host cervical cancer progression, parallel with pap smear test, pcr detection of hpv dna in biopsy of suspected cases is recommended. results out of ...

BACKGROUND The profiles of lipids in normal and cancerous tissues may differ revealing information about cancer development and progression. Lipids being surface active, changes in lipid profiles can manifest as altered surface activity profiles. Langmuir monolayers offer a convenient model for evaluating surface activity of biological membranes. AIMS The aims of this study were to quantify p...

background: thromboembolism is the most important complication of cancers.the aim of this study was to determine d-dimer levels in benign and malignant tumors of the uterus, ovary and cervix. subjects and methods: this was a cross sectional study and it was conducted on 90 female patients referred to imam khomeini and arash hospitals because of uterine, cervical and ovarian tumors in 2013-2014....

A three-dimensional image registration technique for CT and MR studies of the cervical spine was evaluated for feasibility and efficacy. Registration by means of external fiducial markers was slightly more accurate than registration by anatomic landmarks. The interrelationships between bony (eg, neural foramina) and soft tissue structures (eg, nerve roots) in the cervical spine were more conspi...
