background: a common human leukocyte antigen (hla) class ii allele, dqβ1*03:01, seems to be associated with bullous pemphigoid (bp) in caucasians whereas previous studies in other ethnic groups showed other hla class ii alleles as genetic predisposing factors for bp. objective: to investigate the association of hla class ii alleles and haplotypes with bp in iranian population. methods: fifty pa...

OBJECTIVE This study compared occlusal contact areas of ideally planned set-up and accomplished final models against the initial in class I and II molar relationships at finishing. METHODS Evaluations were performed for 41 post-orthodontic treatment cases, of which 22 were clinically diagnosed as class I and the remainder were diagnosed as full cusp class II. Class I cases had four first prem...

Present investigation was carried out to identify DNA polymorphism of IL-2Rγ and ChB6 genes. Sixty five birds belonging to the indigenous chicken of Himachal Pradesh were utilized. Good quality DNA samples were subjected to PCR-RFLP analysis using chicken specific primers. Overnight restriction enzyme digestion was carried out at 37°C with IU Hph I and Pvu II for IL-2Rγ and ChB6 genes, respecti...

Objectives: Different theories have been suggested to define factors involved in skeletal and craniofacial morphology. Many of these theories explain that the bone morphology is the result of the bone tissue capability to adapt in response to biomechanical forces exerted during growth. Also, it seems logical to hypothesize that there is a relationship between biomechanical connections of muscle...

we evaluated the clinical experience of 120 women with early stage cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy (class iii rutledge) in our gynecologic oncology clinic. of these, 74 patient. (61.66%) were in stage i and 46 patients (38.34%) were in stage ii a. intraoperation complications comprised of great vessel injuries encountered in 4 (3.3%) patie...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between HLA alleles and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in a sample of Iraqi patients. Methods: A total of 30 patients were studied, in addition to 20 age, gender and ethnicity matched controls. All subjects were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) method. Results: For HLA-class I region (A and B loci)...

background: acute myocardial infarction (ami) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. considering immense socioeconomic damages of growing ami in developing countries we estimated prognostic value of major risk factors of ami to predict probable in-hospital ami mortality. methods: in a cohort survey from june 2004 to march 2006, 1798 patients hospitalized with proven ami en...
