چکیده
was detected, most of their patients required prednisone treatment after thymectomy. In fact, they showed the remission rate to be 40% in younger patients, but 8% in older patients. 5 Considering these observations together, we emphasize that the prognosis after thymectomy in older patients is not as good as in younger patients, and that their clinical features constitute a particular challenge in treating older patients with MG.

Apolipoprotein E Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Coronary Atherosclerosis Patients Candidate for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Objective(s): Apolipoprotein E genotype (APOE) polymorphism affects lipid levels and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. The aim of this study was to study the association of the Apolipoprotein E genotypes with coronary artery disease in the Iranian population. Materials and Methods: The Apolipoprotein E genotype in DNA samples extracted from 66 CAD+ patients and 61 control s...
متن کاملGenome-wide association study identifies a single major locus contributing to survival into old age; the APOE locus revisited
By studying the loci that contribute to human longevity, we aim to identify mechanisms that contribute to healthy aging. To identify such loci, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) comparing 403 unrelated nonagenarians from long-living families included in the Leiden Longevity Study (LLS) and 1670 younger population controls. The strongest candidate SNPs from this GWAS have been ...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E Polymorphism in an Iranian Hypercholestrolemic Population
Apolipoprotein E (apo E) is a structural constituent of several serum lipoprotein classes. It plays an important role in lipid metabolism by acting as a ligand for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and chylomicron remnant receptors. Three common alleles called e2, e3 and e4 have been described, which code for three protein isoforms (E2, E3 and E4). The polymorphism is clinically significant, and it...
متن کاملTwo Lung Cancer Development-Related Genes, Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) and Apolipoprotein E (APOE), are overexpressed in Bronchial of Patients after Long-Term Exposure to Sulfur Mustard
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a strong alkylating and mutagenic compound that targets humanairway system. We considered the expression of Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) and apolipoproteinE (APOE) genes, which are responsible for cell proliferation, differentiation, tumorigenesis,and increased risk of lung cancer, in the lung bronchial tissue of patients exposed to SM.After performing pulmonary functional tes...
