Objective(s): Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a new class of non-coding RNAs, have emerged as important regulators during tumorigenesis. However, the functions of circRNAs have not been completely clarified in the progression of cancers. In our study, a novel circRNA hsa_circ_0109291 was investigated in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues and cell lines. Materials and Methods: The expression ...

zinc has an important role in skin health and its deficiency reduces immunity. to evaluate levels of zinc in squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc) of skin, we studied 44 bcc and 38 scc cases together with 33 controls. blood samples were taken and after separation of serum, levels of zinc, albumin and total protein were measured by atomic absorption, albumin kit and reflec...

giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. at present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...
