Sulfur mustard (SM) is a strong alkylating and mutagenic compound that targets humanairway system. We considered the expression of Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) and apolipoproteinE (APOE) genes, which are responsible for cell proliferation, differentiation, tumorigenesis,and increased risk of lung cancer, in the lung bronchial tissue of patients exposed to SM.After performing pulmonary functional tes...

Loss of sleep causes deterioration of pulmonary function and ventilatory responsiveness in normal humans and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To evaluate the effects of variations in sleep quality on breathing, we studied 48 healthy elderly volunteers (mean age, 70 years). Electroencephalographically derived indices of sleep quality were correlated with spirometric perfor...

هدف: امروزه کارگروهی در مؤسسات آموزش عالی به‌عنوان یکی از بهترین راهبردها برای تعامل و مشارکت دانشجویان فرایند یادگیری هم‌چنین کمک به رشد مهارت‌های ارتباطی آن‌ها محسوب می‌شود. درحالی‌ که شناسایی مزایای می‌تواند درک مثبتی را بین اساتید ایجاد کند، عواملی باعث عدم شکل‌گیری تمایل اندک انجام نظام دانشگاهی می‌شود، نیز مزایا تأثیرات مثبت آن بکاهد؛ بنابراین، هدف این پژوهش چالش‌های مرتبط با بود.مواد روش...

Different Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains produce a broad variety of pore-forming toxins (PFTs) that show toxicity against insects and other invertebrates. Some these insecticidal PFT proteins have been used successfully worldwide to control diverse insect crop pests. There are several studies focused on describing the mechanism action helped improve their performance cope with resistance e...

Rationale Postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a rare, chronic respiratory condition, which follows an acute insult due to severe infection of the lower airways. Objectives The objective this study was investigate long-term course bronchial inflammation and pulmonary function testing in children with PIBO. Methods Medical charts 21 PIBO were analyzed retrospectively at Children's U...

Abstract. Climate change in the Arctic is leading to shifts vegetation communities, permafrost degradation and alteration of tundra surface–atmosphere energy carbon (C) fluxes, among other changes. However, year-round C flux measurements at high-latitude sites remain rare. This poses a challenge for evaluating impacts climate on ecosystems developing process-based models, which may be used pred...

BACKGROUND The frequency and grade of pulmonary complications after radiotherapy for breast cancer are still debated. This study evaluated changes in pulmonary function tests (PFTs) after radiotherapy in women with breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-five consecutive eligible women with breast cancer underwent pulmonary function testing before and 3 months after adjuvant radiotherapy. ...
