BACKGROUND Over one million new cases of breast cancer (BC) are diagnosed each year with a mortality rate of more than 600 thousand women per year. Breast self-examination (BSE) is a patient-centered, inexpensive, and noninvasive diagnostic test. We focused on the role of screening in BC in early diagnosis. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate awareness and attitude of women t...

Esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin, ET) and 4-methylesculetin (6,7dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin, 4-ME) are typical coumarin derivatives that are attracting considerable attention because of their wide spectrum of biologic activities, but their metabolism remains unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the in vitro UDPglucuronosyltransferase (UGT) metabolism characteristics of ET and 4-ME. 7-O-monoglu...

Muscle is an integrated tissue composed of distinct cell types and extracellular matrix. While much emphasis has been placed on the factors required for the specification of the cells that comprise muscle, little is known about the crosstalk between them that enables the development of a patterned and functional tissue.We find in mice that deletion of lysyl oxidase (Lox), an extracellular enzym...

PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of refractive errors, among 6- to 15-year-old schoolchildren in the city of Dezful in western Iran. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 1375 Dezful schoolchildren were selected through multistage cluster sampling.

A pharmacokinetic model was constructed to explain the difference in brainand cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-to-plasma and brainto-CSF unbound drug concentration ratios (Kp,uu,brain, Kp,uu,CSF, and Kp,uu,CSF/brain, respectively) of drugs under steady-state conditions in rats. The passive permeability across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), PS1, was predicted by two methods using log(D/molecular weight...
