Estrogens act in brain to profoundly influence neurogenesis, sexual differentiation, neuroprotection, cognition, energy homeostasis, and female reproductive behavior and physiology through a variety of mechanisms, including the induction of progestin receptors (PRs). PRs are expressed as two isoforms, PR-A and PR-B, that have distinct functions in physiology and behavior. Because these PR isofo...

bis(indolyl)methanes are important group of bioactive metabolites of terrestrial and marine regions. they were synthesized by different methods. herein, a clean, one-pot synthesis of bis(indolyl)methane derivatives by cyclo-condensation reaction of indole and various aldehydes using sulfonic acid functionalized silica (sio2-pr-so3h) in aqueous media is reported. the advantages of this new metho...

سابقه و هدف: شهرنشینی در جهان رو به افزایش است جمعیت شهری حال متراکم تر شدن شهرها می باشد. یکی از اثرات درصد سطوح نفوذ ناپذیر این مناطق امروزه بسیاری شهرهای مهم جهان، برای کاهش توسعه شهر خود بر کیفیت کمیت رواناب، مفهوم پایدار توجه نموده فنّاوری‌های مدرن سبز مدیریتی، شامل بهترین روش‌های مدیریتی با حداقل جانبی بهره می‌گیرند. بام سبز، یک سیستم چندلایه ای که سقف بالکن ساختمان را پوشش گیاهی پوشانده ج...

To establish an effective hormone receptor-based molecular classification of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), we retrospectively examined 875 consecutive HGSC patients who underwent primary surgery at our hospital and constructed tissue microarrays from these specimens. The expression levels of the hormone receptors were as follows: ER 64.4%, PR 12.6%, AR 35.6%, FSHR 54.5%, LHR 34.8%, a...

The ER-/PR+ breast tumor may be the result of a false ER negative result. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a difference in patient and tumor characteristics of the ER-/PR+ phenotype in an Asian setting. A total of 2629 breast cancer patients were categorized on the basis of their age, ethnicity, tumor hormonal receptor phenotype, grade and histological type. There were ...

Progesterone acting via the progesterone receptor (PR) plays a critical role in maintaining uterine quiescence during pregnancy. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the transactivating capability of the PR is down-regulated in the myometrium at term by a change in uterine PR isoform ratio resulting from local activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB pathway. Overexpression o...

BACKGROUND From patients' reports and our preliminary observations, a fully maturated cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano; PR) seems to be well tolerated by a subset of cow's milk (CM) allergic patients. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS To biochemically and immunologically characterize PR samples at different maturation stage and to verify PR tolerability in CM allergic children. Seventy patients, with suspecte...
