background and objective: the aim of this study was to determine the level of plasma high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) in preeclampsia and to compare hs-crp levels between normal pregnant women, mild preeclamptic, and severe preeclamptic women. materials and methods: serum hs-crp levels were investigated in 40 cases of normal pregnant women, 37 cases with mild preeclampsia and 38 cases...

conclusion our findings confirmed that a prokaryotic expression system of rureb229-561 was successfully constructed.the results of sds-page showed that our constructed prokaryotic expression system pet28a- ureb229-561 -bl21de3 efficiently produces target recombinant protein in the form of dissoluble inclusion body. therefore we can suggest that these epitopes can effectively be a vaccine candid...

background hepatitis c virus (hcv) is the major cause of chronic liver disease. hcv is a single stranded positive sense rna of approximately 9.6 kb. because of high conservativeness of 5΄untranslated region of hcv genome, it is widely used for virus genotyping. different methods are used for the virus genotyping, but all involve some difficulties. objectives the aim of the present study was to ...

objective(s) homocysteine, hs-crp and fibrinogen are three novel cardiovascular risk factors. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of a single bout of circuit resistance exercise on homocysteine, hs-crp and fibrinogen levels in healthy and inactive men. materials and methods the subjects were randomly divided into the experimental group (n= 14) and the control group (n= 9). circuit t...

context hcv infection is strongly associated with development of insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes, however molecular mechanism of these associations is not known. the aim of this review was to conduct a comprehensive literature search to understand the nature of the association between hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection and insulin resistance (ir). we also explored the role of hcv core pro...

warfarin-induced skin necrosis (wisn) is a rare complication of anticoagulant therapy associated with a high incidence of  morbidity and mortality requiring immediate drug cessation. at particular risk are those with various thrombophilic abnormalities, especially when warfarinisation is undertaken rapidly with large loading doses of warfarin. cutaneous findings include petechiae that progress ...

background and objective: brucellosis is a main transmittable zoonotic disease, which is endemic, and a common health burden in iran. adenosine deaminase (ada) is an essential enzyme which is involved in purine metabolism and its role in immune system is very important. the aim of this study was to determine serum changes of ada and c-reactive protein (crp) levels in patients with brucellosis. ...

conclusions crp, a well-known acute phase reactant that increases rapidly in various inflammatory processes, can be accepted as a strong predictor in classifying different grades of the disease, and treatment can be reliably planned according to this classification. results mean crp levels of groups were found to be significantly different, 18.96 mg/l in group i, 133.51 mg/l in group ii, and 23...
