introduction: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all ) is the most worldwide common type of childhood cancer. methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (mtr) are crucial enzymes in folate pathways. folate availability is critical factor for dna integrity, required for the transfer of methyl group in the biosynthesis of thymidilate. proced...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa gossypibomas or retained surgical foreign bodies, although uncommon causes of abdominal lumps, still remain a major cause of concern for surgeons worldwide. their early identification and treatment are mandatory to prevent morbidity as well as mortality. the major diagnostic dilemma still remains in the vagueness of presentation of this callous enti...

electrochemical oxidation of iodide has been studied in the presence of 2-thioborbituric acid using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. the results indicate that, the resulting iodine takes part in halogenations reaction with 2-thiobarbituric acid. in addition, the present data are indicative of the suitability of iodide as a quasi mediator for determination of 2-thiobarbitu...

in the present work, b-zsm-5 zeolite membranes were synthesized on porous tubular α-alumina supports by several subsequence in situ crystallization hydrothermal treatments. the tio2- bohmite and ɣ- alumina intermediate layers were applied to improve the lattice matching between zeolite layer and the support. the uniform membrane intermediate layers with low permeation resistance were prepared o...

this study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of 5-fu plus epirubicin in the treatment of the advanced gastric cancer. for this purpose, 22 patients with no previous treatment were studied. all of the patients were unoperable or metastatic. follow up checking continued for 24 months. our selected therapeutic regimen consisted of a combination of 500 mg/m2 5-fu dialy for five days, and 7...
