[ 1 ] - The Evaluation of Diagnostic and Predictive Values of Helicobacter pylori Stool Antigen Test in Iranian Patients with Dyspepsia
Background and Objectives: Iran, as a developing country, is experiencing high burdens of Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-associated non-communicable diseases. Hp stool antigen test (HpSA) is widely used as an inexpensive and feasible noninvasive method to diagnose Hp infection, instead of invasive approaches. The current study aimed at evaluating th...
[ 2 ] - Hirschsprung Disease Diagnosis: Calretinin Marker Role in Determining the Presence or Absence of Ganglion Cells
Background: Hirschsprung disease is a complex genetic disorder of the enteric nervous system (ENS), often called congenital aganglionic megacolon and characterized by the absence of enteric neurons along a variable length of the intestine. The definitive diagnosis of Hirschsprung disease relies on histologic and/or histochemical staining of sections fr...
[ 3 ] - Polymorphism of IL-28B Gene (rs12979860) in HCV Genotype 1 Patients Treated by Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin
Background: Nowadays, the immune response to hepatitis C (HCV) treatment has become a crucial issue mostly due to the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) polymorphism effects in chronic HCV patients. The aim of this study was to detect the polymorphism of IL-28B gene (rs12979860) in HCV genotype 1 patients treated with pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin. Methods...
[ 4 ] - Enzymatic Digestion Pattern of Varicella Zoster Virus ORF38 and ORF54 in Chickenpox Patients Using RFLP Technique
Background: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox in children and zoster (zona) in the elderly. Using RFLP-PCR method for detection of VZV specific SNPs ORF38, 54 and 62 could distinguish the profile of VZV isolates. The aim of this study was to investigate enzymatic digestion pattern of VZV ORF38 and ORF54 in chickenpox patients using RFLP technique. <b...
[ 5 ] - نقش اینتگرینها و کاربرد آن در توسعه داروهای ضدویروسی
اینتگرینها، خانواده بزرگی از مولکولهای چسبان و تحت کنترل سلول میباشند که در شرایط متفاوت، مانند یک شمشیر دو لبه عمل میکنند؛ از طرفی در جذب و ورود سلولهای کمکی و ایمنی به محل عفونت نقش بسزایی دارند و از سوی دیگر میتوانند هدف خوبی برای ویروسهای بیماریزا جهت ورود، استقرار و تکثیر آنها در سلول نیز باشند. ازآنجاییکه ویروسها مکانیسمهای مختلفی را برای ورود و نفوذ به سلولها انتخاب میکنند، مقایسه این رو...
[ 6 ] - مروری بر انواع روش‌های Real-time PCR و بهینه‌سازی آن
روش Real-time PCR در سال‌های اخیر به عنوان روشی انتخابی جهت تشخیص بسیاری از بیماری‌های عفونی در آزمایشگاه ها مورد استفاده قرار گرفته است. با استفاده از این فن آوری، واکنش زنجیره پلیمراز توسط مولکولهای گزارش گر فلورسنت انجام و از این طریق، تولید فرآورده‌های تکثیری طی هر چرخه واکنش PCR گزارش می‌شود. بدین ترتیب مجموعه‌ای از خصوصیات از جمله؛ حساسیت و اختصاصیت بالا، داده‌های قابل اعتماد و خ...
[ 7 ] - مروری جامع بر عفونت ویروس زیکا
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that is becoming a new global threat. Currently, serologic (ELISA) and molecular (RT-PCR) testing make the diagnosis of Zika virus infection. There is no specific drug available for Zika virus infection, and treatment is supportive based on reducing symptoms of disease. Protection against mosquito bites is the most effective way to prevent the infection...
[ 8 ] - Molecular Investigation of the Human Adenovirus in Retinoblastoma Patients
Background and Aims: Retinoblastoma tumors are the most common intraocular malignancy in childhood, leading to death after two years. The Human Adenovirus (HAdV) infection could be critical in the retinoblastoma pathogenesis due to the virus and retinoblastoma 1 interactions. The objective of the current study was to investigate the possible presence of the HAdV genome in the retinoblastoma pat...
[ 9 ] - Clinical Presentations of Iranian Confirmed COVID-19 Patients at the Admission Time: A Preliminary Retrospective Study
Background and Aims: The current preliminary study aimed to assess the clinical symptoms of the 67 Iranian COVID-19 patients and investigate the possible beneficial effects of the naproxen compared to the standard therapeutic regimen. Materials and Methods: We assessed 67 COVID-19 patients. All COVID-19 cases were confirmed by computed tomography (CT) and real time-polymerase chain reaction te...
[ 10 ] - Distribution of Epstein-Barr Virus and Human Herpesvirus 8 Co-Infections among Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 Positive Patients
Background and Aims: Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected individuals, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Human Herpesvirus (HHV)-8 could cause significant illness as opportunistic infections. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of EBV and HHV-8 in saliva specimens obtained from HIV-1 infected Iranian individuals under the Highly Active Antiviral Therapy (HAAR...
