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...

abstract background and aim: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the cephalometric changes in class ii division 1 mandibular deficient patients treated with farmand functional appliance.  methods and materials: twenty-seven subjects (17 girls and 10 boys) with the mean age of 11.1±1.4 years were involved in the present study. all the subjects were treated with farmand functional applia...

Addressed is the uplink access control problems for cellular CDMA systems that service heterogeneous traac with various types of quality-of-service (QoS) and use Multi-Code CDMA (MC-CDMA) to support variable bit rates. Considering its distinct QoS requirements, class-I real-time traac (e.g., voice and video) is diierentiated from class-II non-real-time traac (e.g., data). Connection-oriented tr...

objective: prefabricated functional appliances have therapeutic effects similar to those of custom-made functional appliances. this study aimed to assess the dentoskeletal effects of multi p® prefabricated functional appliance on class ii div 1children in late mixed dentition. methods: this open label trial was conducted on 18 children aged 9-12 years with cl ii div 1 malocclusion due to mandib...

steady hydromagnetic couette flow of class-ii of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium in a rotating system taking hall current into account is investigated. heat transfer characteristics of the fluid flow are considered taking viscous and joule dissipations into account. it is noticed that there exists flow separation at the moving plate in the sec...

conclusion a significant relationship exists between the type of facial skeletal classification and the shape of the sella turcica; as in class iii patients, sella turcica bridge was reported with a higher frequency. also, sella turcica had a significantly higher length in these patients than in those with class i and class ii facial skeletal types. results sella turcica had normal morphology i...

the facial esthetics after orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery may be affected by the patient's natural head position. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the natural head position for the three skeletal classes of malocclusion.our sample consisted of 102 lateral cephalometric radiographs of patients aged 15 to 18 years; class i (n=32), class ii (n=40) and class iii (n=30). nin...

the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome and have been widely studied in various populations and ethnic groups. investigations into the hla genes and proteins have been useful tool for anthropological, transplantation and disease association studies. the polymorphism of the hla class i (a, b, c) and class ii (drb1, dqa1, dqb1) genes were...
