OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between PTEN loss and IGFBP2 expression in a series of triple-negative breast cancers and to relate this expression to basal cytokeratin expression and clinicopathologic features. METHODS One hundred and one formalin-fixed and paraffin-processed triple-negative breast cancer cases from the University of Malaya Medical Centre were tested immunohistoche...

dust accumulation capacity of ficus carica l. and psidium guajava l. was investigated from eight different sites of multan, pakistan.  leaves of both plants were used for analyzing biometric (leaf area, fresh and dry weights) and biochemical attributes (chlorophyll contents, carotenoids and ascorbic acid).  maximum dust accumulation was occurred in the plants growing near road sites, while, min...

BACKGROUND Alterations of the HER2 (also known as erbB-2 or neu) proto-oncogene have been implicated in the carcinogenesis and prognosis of breast cancer. A polymorphism at codon 655 (GTC/valine to ATC /isoleucine [Val(655)Ile]) in the transmembrane domain-coding region of this gene has been identified and may be associated with the risk of breast cancer. We evaluated this hypothesis in a subgr...

in this study 485 specimen of garra rufa (heckel, 1843) from 29 populations from six river systems and basins including tigris, karkheh, karun, persis (helleh and mond), hormuz and maharlu were collected by a 5mm mesh sized seine net, anesthetized in 1% clove oil solution, fixed in 10% formalin and transferred to the laboratory for further investigations. some 28 morphometric, 25 morphometric p...

Biometric authentication systems operating in real world environments using a single modality are found to be insecure and unreliable due to numerous limitations. Multimodal biometric systems have better accuracy and reliability due to the use of multiple biometric traits to authenticate a claimed identity or perform identification. In this paper a novel method for person identification using m...

The identification of livestock breed is a necessity for its long-term maintenance and utilisation. Principal component analysis morphometric traits has proved successful reduction in the number features needed morphological evaluation species, which keeps costs down saves time efforts. Eighteen body biometric traits, viz. Height at withers, Leg length, Neck circumference, Body Chest girth, Abd...

Background: The incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart (CHD), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in people with the metabolic syndrome has not been thoroughly established (at least 3 following: abdominal adiposity, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, hypertension, impaired fasting glucose). goal was to look at relationship between traits risk CVD, CHD, T2DM. Methods Res...
