background: as a dna repair protein, flap endonuclease 1 is a key enzyme in maintaining genomic instability and preventing carcinogenesis. two single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps), -69g>a and 4150g>t are associated with dna damage. this meta-analysis is to evaluate the genetic effects of fen1 gene snps (-69g/a and 4150g/t) and the susceptibility to diseases, including glioma risk, breast canc...

inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology, in which genetic factors, seem to play an important role in the disease predisposition and course. assessment of tumor necrosis factor (tnf-α) gene polymorphisms in many populations showed a possible association with ibd. considering the genetic variety in different ethnic groups, the aim of the present study was to inve...

According to circumstance of kerman sarcheshmeh cooper complex that its anode slime is mainly consisted of Cu, Ag, Au, Pb and Se. In this work, recovery of silver from anode slime and subsequent synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaching solution was made. Silver was separated from anode slime by using of HNO3 and HCl. X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) was used to characterize anode sl...

Recent pre-clinical and clinical studies have revealed the C-reactive protein gene (CRP) is related to the degree of acute rise in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Moreover, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CRP gene could associate with increased risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, obstructive pulmonary disease,...

Control of size and shape is a challenge in nanoparticle synthesis. Synthetic and biosynthetic (both extracellular and intracellular) methods are used to prepare silver nanoparticle (SNP). In this study, the behavior of three strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was investigated in the presence of silver nitrate intra- and extracellularly. S. aureus strains biosynthesized SNPs intracell...
