conclusions the at1r a1166c polymorphism appeared not to be associated with the presence of acs in the population studied. background there are very limited data for iranian populations on the predisposing genetic factors for acute coronary syndrome (acs). results there was no statistical difference in the genotype frequency of patients and healthy subjects with regard to age and gender (p > 0....

In order to explore the role of IL-22 in the pathogenesis of CRS, we observed the expression of IL-22 and associated factors in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). Immunohistochemical staining was applied to detect the expression of IL-22, IL-22R, STAT3, retinoic acid orphan receptor C (RORC) and aryl hydrocarbon recptor (A...

Synthetic cannabinoids (SC) are a heterogeneous group of substances with a high affinity for cannabinoid receptors. Unlike Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), synthetic cannabinoids are incredibly potent, highly productive, have more affinity for the Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), and Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), and are designed to accelerate the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol. Also, the...

b a ckground:  the purpose of our study was to investigate the possible effect of  bsm i vitamin d receptor (vdr’s) polymorphism on changes of the inflammatory and oxidative stress (os) biomarkers in response to daily intake of vitamin d- fortified yogurt drink ( doogh ) in subjects with type 2 diabetes (t2d). m ethods : in a randomized controlled trial, 100 t2d subjects were allocated to two g...

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 ...
