[ 1 ] - Alpha-1 antitrypsin, retinol binding protein and keratin 10 alterations in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, a proteomic approach
Objective(s):Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. Although psoriasis is clinically and histologically well characterized, its pathogenesis is unknown in detail. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteome of psoriatic patients' sera and to compare them with those of normal healthy human to find valuable biomarkers. Materials and Methods: In a case-control study,...
[ 2 ] - Evaluation of prodynorphin gene polymorphisms and their association with heroin addiction in a sample of the southeast Iranian population
Genetic factors are supposed to account for about 30-50% of the predisposition to cocaine and heroin addiction. This study aims at investigating the effect of rs2281285, rs2235749, rs910080 and 68bp VNTR polymorphisms of prodynorphin (PDYN) gene on heroin dependence risk in a sample of the southeast Iranian population. This case-control study was done on 216 heroin dependence subjects and 219 h...
[ 3 ] - Evaluation of VNTR polymorphisms of dopamine transporter gene and the risk of bipolar disorder in Zahedan, southeast Iran
The exact role of dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder type 1 (BD) is not understood. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the possible association between 30, 40 and 63 bp variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms of DAT1 gene and the risk of type 1 (BD) in a sample of Iranian population. This case-control study was performed on 152 BD patient...
[ 4 ] - Association of VNTR polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFRSF1B) with pulmonary tuberculosis
This study was designed to find out the impact of the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of the tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFRSF1B) on pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) risk in an Iranian population. This case-control study was done on 159 PTB patients and 158 healthy subjects. Bi-allelic TNFRSF1B VNTR was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction. Logistic regression analysis revealed no...
[ 5 ] - APOBEC3 Deletion is Associated with Breast Cancer Risk in a Sample of Southeast Iranian Population
Breast Cancer (BC) is considered as one of the most important causes of death worldwide. Previous studies showed that apolipoprotein B mRNA- editing catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (APOBEC3) gene deletion significantly increased the risk of BC risk in Chinese and European women. The present study aimed to assess the possible impact of APOBEC3 deletion and the risk of BC in a sample of Iranian popu...
[ 6 ] - Lack of Association Between miRNA-146a rs2910164 and miRNA-499 rs3746444 Gene Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAsmay alter its expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility to a wide range of diseases. Our study aimed to evaluate the possible association between miRNA-146a rs2910164 and miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population. This case- control study was perfor...
[ 7 ] - Association between STAT3 rs1053004 polymorphism and cancer risk: a meta-analysis
Several studies examined the relationship between STAT3 rs1053004 polymorphism and the risk of some human cancers, but the findings remains inconclusive. To evaluate the impact of STAT3 rs1053004 on cancer risk, we conducted a meta-analysis of all available studies including 4,605 cancer cases and 5,248 controls. Eligible studies were identified by searching PubMed, Web of Sci...
[ 8 ] - بررسی سطح سرمی لپتین در بیماران مبتلا به سل ریوی فعال در مقایسه با سایر بیماران مبتلا به پنومونی حاد و افراد سالم
اهداف: لپتین یکی از مهم‌ترین هورمون‌های مشتق از چربی است. مطالعات متعددی نشان داده است که سطح سرمی لپتین در بیماری‌های التهابی سیستمیک کاهش می یابد. هدف این مطالعه، بررسی سطح سرمی لپتین در سه گروه بیماران مبتلا به سل ریوی فعال، بیماران مبتلا به عفونت ریوی غیرسلی (پنومونی حاد) و افراد نرمال بود. مواد و روش‌ها: در این مطالعه مقطعی به‌صورت موردی- شاهدی در سال 1389، 40 بیمار مبتلا به سل ریوی فعال (...
[ 9 ] - بررسی ارزش تشخیصی پروکلسیتونین در پیلونفریت حادّ کودکان
Background and Aim: Urinary tract infection (UTI) in children is among the prevalent infections of childhood, which occurs due to growth of bacteria in the urinary tract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of procalcitonin (PCT) as a reliable marker for distinguishing urinary tract infection (UTI) with or without renal parenchyma (cystitis). Materials and Methods: Eighty child...
[ 10 ] - The 40bp indel polymorphism of MDM2 increase the risk of cancer: An updated meta-analysis
This meta-analysis aimed to provide an up-to-date comprehensive evaluation on the association between the MDM2 40bp indel polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. Eligible studies were retrieved by searching Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar databases up to August 27, 2018. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the ...
[ 11 ] - Assocition between LAPTM4B gene polymorphism and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Introduction: Evidence suggests that Lysosome associated protein transmembrane 4B (LAPTM4B) contributes to the risk of numerous cancers. The present study aimed to find out the impact of LAPTM4B polymorphism on the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the southeastern Iranian population. Materials and Methods: A total of 230 subjects including 110 children diagnosed with ALL ...

[ 13 ] - Evaluation of rs37464444 Polymorphism of miR-499 Gene in Patients with Colon Cancer Compared with Healthy Subjects
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been introduced as a new genomic source for cancer. Therefore, it was decided to conduct a study to evaluate the rs3746444 polymorphism of miR-499 in patients with colon cancer in comparison with healthy subjects. Methods: This case-control study was conducted to investigate rs3746444 polymorphism of miR-...
