background: determination of the impact of angiogenesis on tumor development and progression is essential. this study aimed to determine the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and interleukin 6 (il-6) in breast carcinoma, and to correlate them with tumor size, lymph node involvement, and cancer stage. methods: under aseptic precautions 5 ml of venous blood was collected f...

background and objectives: over the last two decades, a large number of researches have been conducted regarding the importance of nitrogen in sugar beet. this indicate that there were needs to investigate more on nitrogen management to achive higher production and quality because less nitrogen application result in reducing yield and high nitrogen application would increase production costs an...

in order to determine the best traits related to indirect increasing of grain yield, five wheat genotypes (zagros, tajan, durum cul., kohdasht and n-81-18 line) were evaluated by using randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural recourses. the studied traits included leaf area index (lai), crop growth ra...

objective: parkinson's disease (pd) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders which is characterized by tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural disturbances. studies indicate that grape juice and exercise may have beneficial effects on neurodegenerative disorders. therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the effects of red grape juice (gj) together with treadmill runni...

introduction: gastric cancer, as the second reason of cancer mortality around the world, is defined as one of the serious health problems and a wide range of current research is focused to overcome the challenges relevant to its successful therapy. employing recent approaches in the field of vaccine tumor therapy and immunotherapic strategies such as utilization of monoclonal antibodies can pla...

background: mammography is the primary imaging technique for detection and diagnosis of breast cancer; however, the contrast of a mammogram image is often poor, especially for dense and glandular tissues. in these cases the radiologist may miss some diagnostically important microcalcifications. in order to improve diagnosis of cancer correctly, image enhancement technology is often used to enha...

in order to possibility of improving physiological traits, yield and yield components of safflower (carthamus tinctorius cv. sina) by anti-transpiration application in rainfed condition, a research was carried out in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcdb) with three replications in miyaneh region (east azarbaijan province - iran) in 2011. the treatments antitranspirant rate ...

to study the nature and magnitude of gene effects, heritability and number of effective factors for grain yield and some yield components in rice, six generations viz., p1, p2, f1, f2, bc1 and bc2 were prepared from the crosses of shapasand × irfaon-215 and irfaon-215 × saleh and grown in a randomized complete design with three replications. results of analysis of variance showed significant di...
