C609T Polymorphism of NADPH Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 Correlates Clinical Hematological Toxicities in Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Amrubicin
BACKGROUND Amrubicin hydrochloride (AMR) is a key agent for lung cancer. NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) metabolizes the quinone structures contained in both amrubicin (AMR) and amrubicinol (AMR-OH). We hypothesized that NQO1 C609T polymorphism may affect AMR-related pharmacokinetics and clinical outcomes. METHODS Patients received AMR doses of 30 or 40 mg/m(2)/day on days 1-3. Plasma s...
full textPCR optimization: Improving of Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) PCR to Achieve a Highly Sensitive Detection Method
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a rapid and simple technique with high sensitivity and specificity. Inthe recent years, PCR has been used for rapid detection of viral nucleic acids, such as Humancytomegalovirus (HCMV), whereas, PCR optimization is an important task to be done, especially beforeit’s diagnostic application. Annealing temperature, ion concentration (especially...

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1, DT-diaphorase) is an enzyme involved in both the detoxification and activation of a variety of substrates (1). This obligate two-electron reductase has chemoprotective properties including reduction of quinone to hydroquinone forms (1, 2), allowing avoidance of semiquinone free radical production and subsequent oxidative damage, as well as metabolism of vit...
full textSimple and Rapid Detection of Yersinia Pestis and Francisella Tularensis using Multiplex-PCR
Background: Yersinia pestis and Francisella tularensis cause plague and tularemia, which are known as diseases of the newborn and elderly, respectively. Immunological and culture-based detection methods of these bacteria are time-consuming, costly, complicated and require advanced equipment. We aimed to design and synthesize a gene structure as positive control for molecular detection of these ...
full textDetection of Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus strains using a single-stage PCR method
Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus are of the most important causes of brucellosis, an infectious disease which is transmitted either directly or indirectly including consuming unpasteurized dairy products. Both strains are considered endemic in Iran. Common diagnostic methods such as bacteriologic cultures are difficult and time consuming regarding the bacteria. The aim of this study w...
