OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to study the changes in occurrence of esophageal, stomach and colon cancers (cancers of interest) over the last 30 years in Iran. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cancer cases referred to two main cancer centers in the country (the Shiraz cancer center and the Tehran cancer center) during last 30 years and published by the two centers were utilized. Morbidity odds rati...

The administration of µ-opioid receptor (MOR), δ-opioid receptor (DOR), and cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) agonists attenuates inflammatory pain. We investigated whether treatment with the heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) inducer, cobalt protoporphyrin IX (CoPP), could modulate the local effects and expression of MOR, DOR, or CB2R during chronic inflammatory pain. In mice with inflammatory pain induced b...

2. Active links. On important feature still missed by many LTEX users is the option of incorporating active links in their documents. Using MOR.sty, all the \ref{} and \cite{} commands (see below) automatically create active links in the resulting pdf file. The reader can jump from the reference point to the referenced location, which may a section heading, a theorem, a figure, an equation, or ...

In Baden-Wuerttemberg, a federal state in south-west Germany, a large outbreak of 1089 laboratory-confirmed human Puumala virus (PUUV) infections occurred in 2007. We conducted a survey to describe the disease burden and a case-control study to identify risk factors for acquiring PUUV. Case-patients were interviewed about clinical outcome and both case-patients and randomly recruited controls w...

We have recently isolated and characterized a human monoclonal autoantibody, MOR-h1 (multiple organ-reactive human 1), that reacts with antigens in multiple organs and have shown that this antibody binds to human growth hormone and a 35,000-mol wt protein. In the present study we generated three monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies (4E6, 3E5, and 3F6) against MOR-h1. These anti-idiotypic antibo...

The recent biochemical demonstration of the association of the -opioid receptor (MOR) with G s that increases after longterm morphine treatment (Mol Brain Res 135:217–224, 2005) provides a new imperative for studying MOR-G s interactions and the mechanisms that modulate it. A persisting challenge is to elucidate those neurochemical parameters modulated by long-term morphine treatment that facil...
