background: acceptance of uterus and reaction between endometrium and embryo has an important role for implantation. muc1 an integral membrane mucin is expressed on the apical surface of uterine epithelial cells and could have effects on its receptivity. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in muc1 expression of gravid mouse endometrium with and without hyperstimulation ...

background and purpose: communication has become a core topic in nursing care and investigations on this topic could have a significant impact on increasing nursing quality services. the present study aims to evaluate the communication skills and nursing staff component focusing on emotional management, others' perception and self-expression. methods: this is a cross-sectional descriptive-...

background the process of neoplastic transformation in the stomach has been reported to be associated with decreased expression of normal mucins of the gastric mucosa and denovo expression of mucins that are normally expressed in other organs. this association may be used as a means to bring new insights into biologic behavior and genetic pathways in the development of gastric cancer. there are...

background: angiogenesis is an important process in various physiologic and pathologic states. the most significant stimulator of angiogenesis is vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf). in contrast, vasohibin1 acts as an angiogenesis inhibitor which specifically inhibits new vessels formation. the aim of the present study was cloning and expression of vasohibin1 gene in e. coli as well as pu...

over the years, the use of plastics has complicated the problem of disposal of solid wastes. one strategy to reduce plastic waste is the use of biodegradable plastics. a group of these plastics are polyhydroxyalkanoates (phas). to date more than 250 different microorganisms are known to synthesize and accumulate pha. most pseu-domonas strains are able to accumulate mcl-pha. in previous studies,...

background and objectives: during past decades hansenula polymorpha has attracted global attention for the expression of recombinant proteins due to its high growth rate, minimal nutritional porequirements and use of methanol as a low cost inducer. materials and methods: the corresponding nucleotide sequences for the expression of heterologous genes in hansenula poylmorpha were extracted and as...

introduction: g-proteins have an important role in the cell signaling of numerous receptors. the situation of g-proteins in health and disease and their critical role in the development of diabetic side effects is an interested scientific field. here, the changes in the expression of g-protein subunits (gαi, gαs and gβ) were evaluated in hyperglycemic situation of pc12 cells as a cellular model...

background: to evaluate vdr gene variation and its interaction with immune regulatory molecules in osteoporosis. methods: totally 205 pre and postmenopausal women were recruited in the study. after an overnight fast, peripheral blood was taken and centrifuged to sprat serum for measurement of serum parathyroid hormone, 25 hydroxyvitamin d, osteocal­cin and cross laps. the fok i polymorphism in ...

gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of sort1 gene. sortilin 1 (ntr-3) is a 95-100 kda protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis. however, its expression has never been reported in normal ovary. here, we report expression of sortilin 1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues both a...
