introduction: quoting an article in well-known textbooks is held as a credit for that paper. the numbers of iranian publications mentioned in endodontic textbooks have increased during recent years. the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the number of iranian articles quoted in eminent endodontic text books. methods and materials: three known textbooks ( ingle’s endodontics, seltzer and ...

Background Poor and fragmentary data was available regarding the effects of recombinant-LH (r-LH) in in-vitro granulosa and theca cells of human origin. No data was available from in vivo studies regarding the effects of r-LH supplementation on SCF,EGF,ERK-1/2 and AKT-1 pathways in the follicular fluid of older-poor-responder women undergoing IVF cycle. Evidence from in-vitro and animal studies...

Health insecurity has emerged as a major concern among health policy-makers particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It includes the inability to secure adequate healthcare today and the risk of being unable to do so in the future as well as impoverishing healthcare expenditure. The increasing health insecurity among 150 million of the world’s poor has moved social protection i...

Background: Pattern recognition receptors, especially toll-like receptors (TLRs), as the first line of defense for pathogen detection, were found to be associated with H.­ pylori infection and gastric cancer (GC). However, the expression levels of TLRs, i.e. TLR2 and TLR4, as the main receptors sensed by H.­ pylori, still remain largely ambiguous. We aimed to investigate the patterns of key tra...

Boswellia serrataBoswellia serrata has a prominent role in TBI outcome’s and perhaps protect neurons through modulating inflammatory and antioxidant pathways

colorectal cancer is an emerging public health problem in indonesia and currently ranks among the three highest cancers. lack of a colonoscopy screening and lifestyle changes might contribute to it. in the last few decades, there is an increasing interest towards the contribution of genetic-environment interaction in colorectal carcinogenesis. some studies have indicated that crc might develop ...

Objective(s): Study of non-coding RNAs is considerable to elucidate principal biological questions or design new therapeutic strategies. miRNAs are a group of non-coding RNAs that their functions in PI3K/AKT signaling and apoptosis pathways after T cell activation is not entirely clear. Herein, miRNAs expression and their putative targets in the mentioned pathways were studied in the activated ...

The study evaluates associated health risks of heavy metals in the soil to inhabitants of two mining areas of Nigeria. For so doing, it collects and analyses nine homogenous soil samples for their lead, copper, cadmium, zinc, and chromium levels, using AAS. The samples are then used to calculate health risks to adults and children. For adult population in Agbaja community, the calculated hazard...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. They play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. Ionizing radiation (IR) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration. Recently it has been discovered that mi...

the lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers and is also the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 1.3 million deaths annually. however in clinical practice, lung cancer therapies commonly do with chemotherapy, although it is hard because the lung cancer may progress to metastasis stage. the metastasis of lung cancer is highly dependent of expression of matrix me...
