conclusions trim22 gene ring domain -364t/c polymorphism is associated with chronic hbv infection in chinese han population. results 243 (31.76%) of 765 chinese han patients showed genetic variation in the trim22 gene. trim22 snps were mainly in ring area -364t/c site, accounting for 98.35% of the population. there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the ring domain -364t/c snp and al...

matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) play an important role in gastric cancer (gc). accumulated evidence suggests that functional mmp-1 and mmp-7 gene polymorphisms are associated with several tumors. the aim of this study was to investigate two single nucleotide polymorphisms, mmp-1 -1607 1g/2g and mmp-7 -181 a/g, and their potential relationship with gc. we examined 246 gc  patients and 252 age-a...

objective(s): to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (pparg) with essential hypertension (eh) and additional role of gene– high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl) interaction. materials and methods:a total of 1640 patients with eh (806 males, 834 females), with a mean age of 52.5±12.6 years, were selec...

original article background and objectives: one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf- magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities, near high voltage power lines and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf mete...

objectives: semantic feature analysis was designed to improve lexical retrieval of aphasic patients via activation of semantic networks of the words. in this approach, the anomic patients are cured with semantic information to assist oral naming. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of semantic feature analysis treatment on anomia of two nonfluent aphasic patients. methods: a si...

Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...
