We explore the possibility that the short-lived radionuclides A 26 l, F 60 e, P 107 d, and H 182 f inferred to be present in the proto-solar cloud originated from 3–8M☉ asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Models of AGB stars with initial mass above M 5 ☉ are prolific producers of A 26 l owing to hot bottom burning (HBB). In contrast, F 60 e, P 107 d, and H 182 f are produced by neutron capture...

OBJECTIVES Hemoglobin (Hgb) is the main oxygen and carbon dioxide carrier in cells of erythroid lineage and is responsible for oxygen delivery to the respiring tissues of the body. However, Hgb is also expressed in nonerythroid cells. In the present study, the expression of Hgb in human uterine cervix carcinoma cells and its role in cervical cancer were investigated. METHODOLOGY The expressio...

A novel recognition method for selective determination of the hyoscine N-Butyl bromide (HBB), an antispasmodic agent for smooth muscles, was devised using extended gate field-effect transistor (EG-FET) as transducing unit. For this purpose a PVC membrane, containing hyoscine n-butyl-tetraphenyl borate ion-pair as recognition component, was coated on Ag/AgCl wire, which was connected to the exte...

The prevalence of β-thalassemia (β-thal) carriers in Turkey varies according to region but in general it is 2.0%. Çanakkale is a city in the Aegean region of Turkey but no study about β-thal frequency in Çanakkale has been published to date. In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of β-thal mutations in this province. A total of 4452 couples (8904 individuals) applied for premarita...

Background: Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects hemoglobin’s structure and functions. Among several forms of this life-threatening disorder, HbE/β β-thalassemia are most common in Bangladesh worldwide as well. But the molecular clinical data not adequate regarding underlying cause genetic Bangladesh. So, we aimed to identify mutations within β-globin gene (HBB) investigate c...

Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the world population resulting from over 200 different mutations of HBB gene. Beta-thalassemias are caused by point mutations or, more rarely, deletions in the HBB gene leading to reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin (Hb). High-resolution melting of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...

Most of the beta thalassaemia cases are heterogeneous at molecular level. The genetic variation arises due to mutation a single beta-globin gene (HBB) on chromosome 11p15.5. Eventhough, basis and natural history this disorder still not well understood clinical presentation in certain patients was always correlated with diagnosis [1].
