[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Immature Neutrophil Ratio and Calprotectin Level for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Background: Sepsis is defined as a systematic inflammatory reaction against infection. Despite the recent advances in medical and pediatric sciences, sepsis remains a significant life-threatening health issue. The main problem associated with this disorder is the nonspecific and non-discriminative symptoms of noninfectious diseases. The present study aimed to introduce diagnostic parameters of ...
[ 2 ] - KRAS Codon 12 and 13 Mutations in Gastric Cancer in the Northeast Iran
Background & objective: KRAS mutations are reported in many types of cancers including pancreas, lung, colon, breast, and gastric (GC). High frequency of KRAS mutation is observed in the pancreas, colon, and lung cancers; they commonly arise in codon 12 and 13 of exon 2. Due to the lack of information about the frequency of KRAS</...
[ 3 ] - Chromogenic in situ Hybridization Compared with Real Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction to Evaluate HER2/neu Status in Breast Cancer
Background and objective: The assessment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status has become of great importance in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH) to assess HER2 status of biopsy specimens. <...
[ 4 ] - بررسی شیوع عفونت سایتومگالو ویروس در دریافت کنندگان کلیه یکسال پس از پیوند
مقدمه: علی رغم پیشرفت های چشمگیر سال های اخیر در حوزه درمان، مشکل عفونت های ویروسی هنوز هم با چالش جدی رو به رو است. عفونت سایتومگالو ویروس یکی از دلایل مهم مرگ و میر در بیماران پس از عمل پیوند کلیه می باشد. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی شیوع و عوامل خطرساز ابتلا به عفونت سایتومگالو ویروس در این بیماران پس از پیوند در شهر مشهد در شمال شرقی ایران می باشد. مواد و روش ها: ما در یک مطالعه گذشته نگر، پرو...
[ 5 ] - گزارش یک مورد فنوتیپ نادر Rh--D: یک گزارش مورد
Background and Objective: Of all blood group systems, RH is one of the most important blood groups, which its compatibility is one of the essential principals of transfusion. Two genes (RhD and RhCE) locate on chromosome 1, and encode the Rh proteins. RhD is an immunogenic antigen. We describe a rare Rh phenotype D-- in this report. Case Report: A forty- nine- year- old man, who receiv...
[ 6 ] - Relationship Between SOX17 Gene Expression and Prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a group of heterogeneous malignancies caused by defects in differentiation of hematopoietic cells. SRY-box containing gene 17(SOX17) is a transcription factor which plays an important role in several biological processes, including cardiogenesis, angiogenesis, and lymphopoiesis. Aberrant expression of SOX17 has been detected in solid tumors. This stud...
[ 7 ] - Absence of FLT3 mutations in Iranian adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma patients
Background: Adult T cell leukemia lymphoma (ATLL) is a rare disease, significantly linked to the infection by the human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1(HTLV-1). ATLL is typically preceded by decades of clinical latency during which infected cells accumulate selectable traits leading to a malignant transformation. Amongst all the HTLV-1 infected carriers only about 3-5% will develop ATLL. Despite th...
[ 8 ] - Evaluation of BAALC gene expression in normal cytogenetic acute myeloid leukemia patients in north-east of Iran
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is known as one of the most common leukemia among adults. Environmental and different genetic factors affect disease process, prognosis and treatment. Among different genetic factors NPM1, FLT3, MLL and BAALC genes are the most effective on patient's survival rate. The aim of this study was to assess amount of BAALC gene expression in AML patients, and i...
[ 9 ] - Evaluation of HIV Indeterminate Confirmatory Tests\' Results in Blood Donors in Northeast of Iran
Background and Aims: Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is spreading rapidly among the people worldwide. Infection with this virus leads to immune suppression and finally acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Early HIV detection is dependent on antibody screening against virus by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Some confirmatory tests such as Western Blot and Recombinant Immunobl...
[ 10 ] - BCR-ABL fusion genes and laboratory findings in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in northeast Iran
Background: A specific chromosomal abnormality, the Philadelphia chromosome (BCR-ABL fusion), is present in all patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The b2a2 and b3a2 fusion mRNAs encode p210 fusion protein p210 and e1a2 encode p190. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of BCR-ABL fusion transcript variants in Northeast of Iranian CML patients and to compare the laborato...
[ 11 ] - Cells O Antibody Screening Cells: A novel Approach to Antibody Screening
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Blood transfusion may induce some adverse effects on receivers. Some methods such as antibody screening and cross matching have been suggested to reduce the risk of transfusion complications. However, these methods require commercial antibody screening kits that may also need special equipment. The aim of this study was t...
[ 12 ] - Prevalence of MPL (W515K/L) Mutations in Patients with Negative-JAK2 (V617F) Myeloproliferative Neoplasm in North-East of Iran
Background and Objective: Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and Myeloproliferative Leukemia (MPL) mutations are confirmatory indicators for Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN). The current study was performed to determine the frequency of MPL mutation in MPN patients without JAK2 mutation, in order to assign MPL mutation frequency in North-East of Iran.Methods: Total o...
[ 13 ] - Molecular Status of BRAF Mutation in Prostate Adenocarcinoma: The Analysis of 100 Cases in North-East of IRAN
Background and Objective: BRAF mutations were studied in various populations for prostate carcinoma (PC); however, mutations in BRAF gene are unusual compared to KRAS. Oncogenic activating of BRAF mutations were studied lately in almost 0%-10% of prostate cancer cases. Methods: In this retrospective study, we gathered 100 formalin-fixed ...
[ 14 ] - Expression of ROR1 Gene in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) results from genetic alterations in a single lymphoid progenitor cell. Expression of ROR1 is reported to be increased in ALL and mantle cell lymphoma. In this study the expression of ROR1 was assessed in newly diagnosed patients with ALL. Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients with newly diagnosed ALL and healthy individuals as contro...
