[ 1 ] - The Correlation Between Serum Vitamin D Level and Total Antioxidant Capacity in diabetic and Non-diabetic Subjects in Iran

Background& Objective:  Increase in intra- and extracellular glucose levels can cause oxidative stress, and the prolonged imbalance between prooxidants and antioxidantscan lead to cell damage and the associated complications in patients with diabetes. Vitamin D acts as a strong antioxidant in the body and several studies emphasized on its important rol...

[ 2 ] - Fibroadenoma Of The Vulva: A Case Report

  Fibroadenoma of the vulva is an uncommon lesion. It has been suggested that they originate from vulvar mammary like other glands. A few examples of benign and malignant vulvar tumors arising from such glands have been reported. A 32-year-old woman was referred with a subcutaneous mass at the vulva. The patient treated by simple excisional surgery with adequate peripheral margin. Histologic...

[ 3 ] - بررسی میزان و الگوی بروز پروتئین Her2 در تریکواپیتلیوما در مقایسه با کارسینومای سلول بازال پوست به روش ایمونوهیستوشیمی

Background: Trichoepithelioma (TE) is a benign skin tumor with follicular differentiation, which sometimes is difficult to distinguish clinically and histologically from cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC). An accurate diagnosis of these lesions is essential for effective and appropriate therapeutic decisions. Therefore, several attempts have been made to identify immunohistochemical differenc...

[ 4 ] - Does routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values improve their accuracy?

  Background: Routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. We figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not.   Methods : We examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white...

[ 5 ] - The frequency of latent prostate carcinoma in autopsies of over 50 years old males, the Iranian experience

 Background: Latent adenocarcinoma of prostate refers to cases who present no obvious sign or symptom during their life spans and the tumor is incidentally found at postmortem examination. Its frequency can be very important in epidemiologic investigations, prevention and treatment. No previous study has been done in this regard in Iran and the studies performed in other countries show various ...

[ 6 ] - Platelet count and MPV, routinely measured but ignored parameters used in conjunction with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome: single study center in Iranian population, 2010

 Background: Myocardial infarction is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. Platelet count and the mean platelet volume (MPV), a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size which correlates with platelet activation, might associate with troponin in acute chest pain. Methods: We analyzed MPV of 851 patients who were admitted to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital with ac...

[ 7 ] - MiR-21 Expression in Wilms’ Tumor

Background and Objective: Wilms’ tumor (WT) is the most common genitourinary tract tumor in children. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs; their role in the pathogenesis of many types of human cancers has been identified. We aimed to evaluate the expression of miR-21, a well-known oncomir, in WT tissue samples which is a very common urinary tract malignancy in children...

[ 8 ] - Evaluating the incidence rate of positive cytology in colorectal cancers and its relationship with local progress of the tumor

Introduction: Detection of malignant cells in the peritoneal cavity indicates the extension of cancer cells. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence rate of positive cytology in colorectal cancer and its relationship with the local progress of the tumor.  Methods: In a 2-year prospective study in Mashhad and Iran Universities of Medical Sciences, peritoneal lavage was performed on...

[ 9 ] - The Association Between Genetic Variants in Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases and AmpC-producing Gram-Negative Bacilli and Antibiotic Resistance

Background and Objective: A large group of genes associated with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC expression is involved in inducing antibiotic resistance in various bacteria. Identifying these genes and assessing their harboring will be crucial in determining the pattern of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to characterize genetic variants in extended-spectrum beta-lacta...
