O of the most apparent differences between normal cells and their malignantly transformed counterparts and between immature and fully differentiated cells is the shape of the cells (1). Cell morphology is controlled largely by the structure of the cytoskeleton, a system of three distinct types of filamentous polymers that assemble into networks and bundles of various kinds to link the cell inte...

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age associated neuron degenerative disorder in developed societies. With the prevalence ranging from 41 per 100000 in the fourth decade of life to over 1900 per 100000 in people over 80 years of age.it characterized clinically by resting tremor, slowness of movement, rigidity and postural instability in the result of progressive loss of dopami...

The purpose of this investigation was to develop a simple colorimetric method for creatine kinase (CK). The new method is based on the reaction of creatine, formed enzymatically from creatine phosphate and ADP, with different glyoxal compounds. Hydrated glyoxals, such as para-nitrophenyl, 2-thiophene, 4- biphenyl, 4, 4' -biphenyl,α-naphthyl, β-naphthyl, para-chlorophenyl, and styryl were...

antiproliferative protein (app) isolated from conditioned media of two androgen-independent prostatic carcinoma cell lines, pc3 and du-145 was shown to inhibit selectively cell proliferation of androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line lncap in a dose dependent manner. this protein was further purified with hplc using hydrophobic interaction column (phenyl 5pw) and was used to study the modu...

mpns including a heterogeneous group of clonal or oligoclonal hamtopathies characterized by proliferation and accumulation of mature myeloid cells. jak2 tyrosine kinase mutation is the most common molecular lesion identified in 90% of cases. jak2 is involved in epo signaling pathway, and mutations in it lead to epo-independent spontaneous phosphorylation. most tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tki) a...

background: nicotine, cotinine and cadmium are harmful components of cigarettes that have an effect on human reproductive function. although the effects of cigarette smoke on male reproductive function is characterized in several articles its mechanism of action is still unknown. in the present study, we investigate the effect of nicotine, cotinine and cadmium on human sperm creatine kinase act...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preslaughter shackling durations on some blood parameters, breast and thigh meat quality traits, and muscle metabolites in broilers. the effects of shackling were determined in a group of ross 308 broilers (240 birds) aged 42 days. four shackling treatments were used in experimental tests: shackling of broilers for 10 (group g10; as contro...

case presentation a 28-year old chinese female was treated with carbimazole (cmz) for graves’ disease with hyperthyroidism. two weeks later, she developed myalgia and proximal muscle weakness. investigations showed evidence of myopathy. cmz was stopped and rapid improvement of clinical condition and biochemical parameters ensued. conclusions rapid decrement of thyroid hormone level is recognize...
