background: glucantime ® is the first- line drug for the treatment of all forms of leishmaniasis. unfortunately, the prevalence of parasites becoming resistant to glucantime ® is increasing in several parts of the world including iran. as protein is the most important target for drugs in response to a variety of signals including drugs so, it seems expression protein patterns in sensitive and r...

introduction genetic background has known to be associated with the outcome of human t cell lymphotropic virus (htlv) type i infection. in the present study we investigate the association between gm-csf gene polymorphisms with the outcome of htlv-i infection. materials and methods we analyzed 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promter region of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating fa...

allergic rhinitis (ar) is an ige-mediated upper airway disease, and its impact on asthma has been widely recognized. protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor 22 (ptpn22) gene and the cytotoxic t-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (ctla-4) gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with several immune-related diseases. here we investigated the reffect of these two genes’ polymorphisms ...

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, containing approximately one third of all illnesses in women. Assessment of molecular markers is valuable in predicting the outcome of disease and decision making for optimal treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between estrogen and progesterone receptors with Her-2, Ki67, P53, and clinicopathologica...

We study the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation. In a previous paper [16] the author has shown the Lp-Lq estimates between the solutions of the damped wave equation and the solutions of the corresponding heat equation. In this paper, we show new Lp-Lq estimates for the damped wave equation with odd initial data.

The replacement theorem for classical and normal modal logics is a fundamental tool. It says that if A and B have been proved equivalent, occurrences of A in a formula may be replaced with occurrences of B to produce a formula equivalent to the original one. This theorem does not hold for LP, Logic of Proofs. A replacement for replacement is not simple to formulate. In this note I have provided...

Objective(s): Erythropoietin (EPO), is a 34KDa glycoprotein hormone, which belongs to type 1 cytokine superfamily. EPO involves in erythrocyte maturation through inhibition of apoptosis in erythroid cells. Besides its main function, protective effects of EPO in heart and brain tissues have been reported. EPO has a critical role in development, growth, and homeostasis of brain. Furthermore EPO h...

PAAG injection is an established means of facial augmentation. However, its radiologic appearances have not been previously emphasized in literature, to our knowledge. We report 3 cases with PAAG injection of the face and their respective radiologic findings.
