objective(s): to investigate the expression of human papilloma virus (hpv) l1 capsid protein, and human telomerase rna component (hterc) in cervical cancer and the role of detection of both genes in screening of cervical cancer.   materials and methods: a total of 309 patients were recruited and cervical exfoliated cells were collected. immunocytochemistry was employed to detect hpv l1 capsid p...

  Objective(s):  Infection by high-risk papillomavirus is regarded as the major risk factor in the development of cervical cancer. Recombinant DNA technology allows expression of the L1 major capsid protein of HPV in different expression systems, which has intrinsic capacity to self-assemble into viral-like particles (VLP). VLPS are non-infectious, highly immunogenic and can elicit neutralizing...

The present research aims to examine the effects of using culturally oriented texts in project-based classes on the views of EFL university students regarding their L1 culture. To this end, three experimental groups of intermediate EFL freshmen, assigned to classes A, B and C, participated in this study. Each of the classes were presented with reading passages focused on L1 culture, L2 culture,...

Recently, it has been shown that a number of hydroxypyridinones such as 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (L1) are useful for the treatment of iron overload in place of desferrioxamine in thalassaemic patients. In this study, the intestinal absorption (I.A.) of L1 and one of its analogues namely 2-methy-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (L2), which possesses a higher partition coefficient (Kpart) than L...
