nicotine is one the chemical substance with high level of toxically. it crosses the placenta and accumulates in the developing organs of fetus. our previous investigations indicated that collagen type iv plays a key role in basement membrane of various embryonic organs. in this study we evaluated the effect of maternal nicotine exposure pre and postnatal period on collagen iv expression during ...

iv therapy is an important option in incapable patients’ treatment. in this paper, we discuss about: a) for best control of them, we must know about what materials are in these drugs? b) for what reason they are use? c) what errors may be happen in use of them? amount of iv fluids must be accommodating with loss of fluids. firstly, we review amount of main body fluids. main part of our body wei...

regarding the increasing numbers of iv drug addicts, the incidence of infected pseudoaneurysm is increasing. so far, different therapeutic strategies have been tried, but each method has its own drawbacks. therefore, discovering an appropriate therapeutic method is necessary. 65 patients with infected pseudoaneurysm due to drug injection referred to shohada medical center from feb 1994 till oct...

Leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) are 20–29-aa motifs that mediate protein–protein interactions and are present in a variety of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins. Many LRR proteins with neuronal functions have been reported. Here, we summarize an emerging group of synaptic LRR proteins, which includes densin-180, Erbin, NGL, SALM, and LGI1. These proteins have been implicated in the formation, differ...

Almost 25 years of kinesin research have led to the accumulation of a large body of knowledge about this widespread superfamily of motor and nonmotor proteins present in all eukaryotic cells. This review covers developments in kinesin research with an emphasis on structural aspects obtained by X-ray crystallography and cryoelectron microscopy 3-D analysis on kinesin motor domains complexed to m...
