results using these two sets, we identified h1069q mutation in four patients, c.2335t > g mutation in three, c.3061-1g > a splice site mutation in five, c.3305t > c mutation in one, and c.3809a > g mutation in two patients. conclusions the multiplex arms assay used in this study can be an efficient, reliable, and cost effective method as a primary screen for patients with wilson disease. patien...

abstract        background and objective: chabahar is in southern iran located near the iran-pakistan border. since leishmaniasis is an emerging disease in this region, this study aimed to diagnose the disease and identify different species of leishmania parasite in the patients referred to the central laboratory.       methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2011-2012 ...

background and objective: the outcome of hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection may be influenced by host factors like human leukocyte antigen (hla). we have investigated hla-a and drb1 alleles in patients with persistent hepatitis b infection compared to subjects who had spontaneously recovered from hbv infection. to complete the findings of this study we performed another survey in certain hla all...

in order to gain a better understanding of the chemistry of methanl-to-hydro-carbon conversion, it is necessary to determine the nature of the primary reaction products. experiments carried out in this work on h-zsm-11, using a continuous flow reactor linked to an on-line gas chromatograph demonstrated that ethylene and methane are the primary reaction products. the results obtained using solid...

thrombolytic agents are among the medications that are used widely for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders and myocardial infarction (mi). despite the world-wide availability of newer specific agents, streptokinase (sk) is still the most frequently used medication from this class in iran. hence we conducted this study to review the adverse reactions to this medication which were reported ...

background: toxoplasmosis is one of the most important food-borne diseases distributed worldwide. in order to determinate the involvement of poultry meat in clinical toxoplasmosis, this study aimed to genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii in tissue samples of serologically positive chickens of tunisia using polymerase chain reaction (pcr). methods: trail of isolation of local t. gondii ...

the olefins polymerization process in a slurry reactor is discussed. the reaction rate dynamics was analyzed and the contributions of feed flow, gas-liquid mass transfer, polymerization reaction, and catalyst deactivation were estimated. the propylene solubility in a solvent mixture “heptane” was calculated using soave-redlich-kwong equation of state. these data were then approximated by henry-...

background: cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) is important in metabolism of wide range of drugs. cyp2c19*17 is a novel variant allele which increases gene transcription and therefore results in ultra-rapid metabolizer phenotype (urm). distribution of this variant allele has not been well studied worldwide. the aim of present study was to investigate allele and genotype frequencies of cyp2c19*17 in...
