The mechanism through which modified oligo-DNA analogues act as antisense repressors at the transcriptional and translational level of gene expression is based on the information content in the nucleotide sequence which is determined by the specific base pairing. The efficiency of such action is largely determined by the stability of the duplex formed between the oligonucleotide reagent and the...

Background Vomiting is a common side effect of ketamine in children's sedation and there is still controversy about the use of an anti-emetic drug along with ketamine to reduce this complication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ondansetron in controlling vomiting induced by intramuscular (IM), and intravenous (IV) ketamine for procedural sedation and analgesia in chil...

SNORD47 is a member of the C/D box small nucleolar RNAs, which have been implicated in cancer development. We intended to investigate the therapeutic potential of SNORD47 in glioma. We found that the expression of SNORD47 was downregulated in glioma tissues samples and inversely associated with advanced tumor stage (WHO grade IV). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that glioma patients wit...

Treatments for anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis include immunotherapy with steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, plasma exchange, or plasmapheresis as first-line treatments, immunotherapy with rituximab or cyclophosphamide as second-line treatments, and tumor removal. In this systematic review, we evaluated previous studies and examined the association between certain micr...

Cell culture studies and investigations in mice that overexpress either human or mouse apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) revealed anti-atherogenic properties of apoA-IV. An association between low apoA-IV concentrations and coronary artery disease in humans was demonstrated; therefore, apoA-IV may also play an antiatherogenic role in humans. Because apoA-IV is markedly elevated in dialysis patients...

To isolate type IV collagen-binding proteins, 125I-labeled human-neutrophil extracts were chromatographed on a type IV collagen-Sepharose column. The affinity chromatography-separated fraction contained the four radioactive proteins with apparent molecular masses of 28, 49, 67, and 95 kD on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Western blot analysis indicated that the 95-kD...
