In this paper we address the problem of evaluating path expression queries on multiversion XML documents. Such queries are typically implemented on static (i.e., non-versioned) documents as path joins, using numbering schemes that maintain the structural relationships among the document elements. We extend previously proposed pattern matching techniques so as to support versions. We first prese...

RNA helicases constitute a large group of essential enzymes involved in all aspects of RNA metabolism. With few exceptions, human RNA helicases of DDX and DHX gene families have not been well characterized. However, several of them have been shown to be dysregulated in cancer, including over-expression in various types of tumors. Although the exact contribution of RNA helicases to carcinogenesi...

Objective(s): To investigate the effect of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol on the telomere-dependent senescence of stem cells. In addition, to search the probable targets of mentioned phytochemicals between human telomere interacting proteins (TIPs) using in silico studies. Materials and Methods: Human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) were studied under treatments with 2.5 µM/ml cinnamaldehyde, 0....

Background:  Widespread and growing sources of electromagnetic radiation raised concerns attributed to the potential adverse health risk of radiofrequency fields. Given the functional importance of the hippocampus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of electromagnetic waves radiated by mobile jammer on hippocampal expression of p21 and p53 genes as regulators of cellular apoptosis...

Background: Neuropathic pain due to damage to the peripheral nerve has influenced millions of people living all over the world. It has been shown that paroxetine can relieve neuropathic pain. Recently, the role of some proteins like BDNF, GABAA receptor, and KCC2 transporter in the occurrence of neuropathic pain has been documented. In the current study, the expression of these proteins affecte...

Abstract Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent malignancy with high mortality rate, necessitating markers that predict survival and guide the treatment. Previous studies have examined the immunohistochemical expression of Bcl-2, an apoptotic marker, in colorectal carcinoma, but results have been contradictory. Objectives: To evaluate the histopathological featu...
