Objective(s): Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. This study investigated the expression and clinical significance of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) in human breast cancer and its relationship with the clinical outcome of breast cancer.   Materials and Methods : ATF3 expressions were detected in 114 primary breast cancer tissues and ...

background: skin flap grafting is a popular approach for reconstruction of critical skin and underlying soft tissue injuries. in a previous study, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of two 5α-reductase inhibitors, azelaic acid and finasteride, on tissue survival in a rat model of skin flap grafting. in the current study, we investigated the involvement of nitric oxide and inducible nitric o...

apoptosis, or active cell death, is a specific mode of cell death, which is characterized by morphological changes such as chromatin condensation, fragmentation of the nucleus, cytoplasmic retraction and appearance of apoptotic bodies' containing apparently intact organelles. apoptosis occurs in physiological conditions as a regulatory mechanism of tissue growth, where cell proliferation is bal...

conclusions further studies on the role of hepcidin in pathogenesis of chc are needed to assess the potency of its use in antiviral treatment. results patients with chc had lower hepcidin mrna expression and more frequently iron deposits in hepatocytes than subjects with chb did. in chc group, hepcidin mrna expression was positively correlated with alanine aminotransferase activity and serum ir...

Background & objective: Globally, breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females. Prohibition (PHB)-I, a homologous protein, was initially introduced as a suppressor gene for amplification process. Further, the protein has a key role in the cell cycle and is capable of inhibiting DNA transcription in many cell types. Therefore, its possible role in different...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as essential gene expression regulators associated with human diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of miR-330-3p and its target gene BMI1 in tissue samples of patients with CRC, polyp, and healthy adjacent tissue samples and their association with clinicopathological and demographic factors such as age...

Introdution: Obesity is a systemic disorder that disruption the regulation of the effective proteins; in fat metabolism (Desnurtin, FNDC5 it leads to resistance to insulin and Diabetes.  The aim of this study was comparing the 6 weeks of high-intensity interval and continuous training with standard diet on desnutrin and FNDC5 genes expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue and the quadrice...
