Metastasis to lymph nodes and distant organs is the main challenge in the treatment of papillary thyroid cancer. In the current investigation, we aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of celecoxib (CX) and sodium valproate (VPA) against cell survival, invasiveness properties, and expression of metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in  papillary thyroid cancer cell line, BCPAP cells. ...

background: there is very little information about the mosquito fauna of qom province, central iran. by now only three species; anopheles claviger , an. multicolor , and an. superpictus have been reported in the province. to study mosquito fauna and providing a primary checklist, an investigation was carried out on a collection of mosquitoes in this province. methods: to study the mosquito (dip...

Background: The synergistic effects of valproic acid (VPA), lithium (Li), and celecoxib (CX) have been shown in combination therapy against the proliferation and metastasis of numerous cancers. Angiogenesis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of tumor growth and metastasis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antiangiogenic effects of VPA, lithium chloride (LiCl), and CX, alo...

If B is an infinite subset of ω and X is a topological group, let CX B be the set of all x ∈ X such that 〈xn : n ∈ B〉 converges to 1. If F is a filter of infinite sets, let DX F = ⋃{CX B : B ∈ F}. The CX B and DX F are subgroups of X when X is abelian. In the circle group T, it is known that CX B always has measure 0. We show that there is a filter F such that DT F has measure 0 but is not cont...

Introduction: The utility of serial scoring systems in identifying distinct sepsis phenotypes remains unknown. Methods: Eligible adults were classified into culture-positive (Cx+) and culture-negative (Cx-) groups alongside pre-defined culture subgroups. Average SIRS & SEP (novel system) scores calculated at t = 0 hours 3,6,12 24 before after 0. primary outcome was a difference SIRS/SEP amo...

To evaluate the role of Culex mosquitoes as enzootic and epidemic vectors for WNV, we identified the source of vertebrate blood by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing portions of the cytochrome b gene of mitochondrial DNA. All Cx. restuans and 93% of Cx. pipiens acquired blood from avian hosts; Cx. salinarius fed frequently on both mammals (53%) and birds (36%). Mixed-blood m...

Species of the Culex vishnui subgroup, Cx. fuscocephala and Cx. gelidus, which are known Japanese encephalitis (JE) vectors, are distributed in rice agroecosystems in Asian countries. Hence, although ecological studies of rice agroecosystems in northern Vietnam are necessary, very few integrated studies of breeding habitats of mosquitoes, including JE vectors, have been conducted. We carried ou...

We show that the abstract group structure of the Weyl group often forces the structure of the center of the corresponding Lie group or p-compact group. For example, if G is a connected simple compact Lie group and Center(WG) is nontrivial, then Center(G) is an elementary abelian 2-group. Generalizing to p-compact groups, if WX is irreducible as a Qp reflection group and Center(WX ) is non-trivi...
