Radiation Nephropathy&The Link Between Functional Damage and Vascular Mediated Inflammatory and Thrombotic Changes

Radiation track and DNA damage

the relationship between topic familiarity and guessing lexical meaning and retention among iranian efl learners

the skill of reading in english as a foreign language is an important and challenging one which is affected both by linguistic and extra linguistic factors. since vocabularies are part and parcel of every reading comprehension text, knowing enough vocabulary always facilitates this process. however, guessing strategy as one of the most important strategies has consistently ignored by language l...

Thrombotic vascular risk factors in inflammatory bowel disease.

BACKGROUND Thrombosis may be an important effector mechanism in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. METHODS This study therefore investigated the prevalence of independent thrombotic risk factors (factor VII coagulant activity, lipoprotein (a), fibrinogen, plasma triglycerides, and smoking) in patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and normal controls. RESULTS In Crohn's diseas...

cohesion and cohesive devices in a contrastive analysis between ge and esp texts

the present study was an attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis between general english (ge) and english for specific purposes (esp) texts in terms of cohesion and cohesive devices. to this end, thirty texts from different esp and ge textbooks were randomly selected. then they were analyzed manually to find the frequency of cohesive devices. cohesive devices include reference, substitution, ...

Inflammation-mediated cytosine damage: a mechanistic link between inflammation and the epigenetic alterations in human cancers.

Aberrant methylation patterns have long been known to exist in the promoter regions of key regulatory genes in the DNA of tumor cells. However, the mechanisms by which these methylation patterns become altered during the transformation of normal cells to tumor cells have remained elusive. We have recently shown in in vitro studies that inflammation-mediated halogenated cytosine damage products ...
