[ 1 ] - Effect of leptin receptor Q223R polymorphism on breast cancer risk

Objective(s):Leptin receptor (LEPR) is a member of the class I cytokine receptor super-family that is known implicated in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. We have investigated the effect of Q223R polymorphism on the breast cancer susceptibly in a sample of Iranian subjects. Materials and Methods:We utilized a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphi...

[ 2 ] - Effect of Silibinin on Maspin and ERα Gene Expression in MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cell Line

Background and objective: According to reports, a serine protease inhibitor (Maspin) suppresses metastasis, invasion and angiogenesis in breast and prostate cancers. Silibinin is a natural polyphenolic flavonoid with anti-cancer activity. We assessed the effects of silibinin on cell viability, maspin and ERα gene expression in MCF-7 cell line. <s...

[ 3 ] - ارزیابی تکنیک های ICT،ELISA و Real Time PCR در تشخیص هپاتیت B در بیماران دیالیزی،تالاسمی و هموفیلی

Background and purpose: Recently, use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and rapid Immunochromatographic test (ICT) in diagnosis and screening of patients with hepatitis B reduced the risk of hepatitis during blood transfusion. However, the incidence of hepatitis B is very high in high-risk patients such as hemodialysis, thalassemia and hemophilia which receive a lot of blood transfus...

[ 4 ] - Association of two Common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs +45T/G and +276G/T) of ADIPOQ Gene with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Background: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted hormone, is known to have anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. In the present study, the association between two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (+45T/G and +276G/T) of ADIOPQ gene and coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed in the subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods: Genotypes of two SNPs we...
