background: inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (ibdu) is considered to be an aberrant immune response with loss of tolerance to many antigens. objective: this paper tries to address whether there is any value to test for auto-antibodies in such patients. methods: 60 patients with inflammatory bowel disease unclassified participated in the study. auto-antibodies to nuclear antigen, intestin...

Background Although ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation is used for fertility preservation in patient undergoing cytotoxic treatments but obtaining good quality oocyte is still a debate. Xenotransplantation has been introduced as a reliable technique for better understanding of the transplantation conditions, but to achieve healthy embryos, the quality of obtained oocytes need t...

background: oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common malignancy in the world today.  ing1b/p33 is a newly-discovered tumor suppressor which enhances p53 activity. transfer of p33 protein from nucleus to cytoplasmic compartment has been previously reported in leukemias. the objective of this study was to determine the correlation between p33ing1b cytoplasmic transfer and lymph node ...

Background: Metastasis and recurrence of colorectal cancer after treatment is attributed to stem cells. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the expression of stem cell marker CD166 in colorectal cancer by immunohistochemistry and clinicopathologic parameters.Methods: From 2006 to 2012, 121 colectomy specimens of patients with colon cancer that were operated in Babol...

conclusions patients treated with ptu should be closely monitored and followed up, even if the drug has been used for several years. when patients develop progressive dyspnea with alveolar opacities on chest imaging that cannot be explained otherwise, alveolar hemorrhage should be an important differential diagnosis while investigating the case. early diagnosis and prompt discontinuation of the...

introduction antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (anca)-associated glomerulonephritis (gn) is characterized by necrotizing and crescentic gn with paucity of immunoglobulin (ig) and complement deposition, which is also known as pauci-immune crescentic gn. membranous nephropathy (mn) is characterized by the formation of subepithelial immune deposit with resultant changes in glomerular basement ...

introduction: intracellular ph (phi) regulates essentially all aspects of cellular activities. however, it is unknown how endoplasmic reticulum (er) potassium channels sense phi. in this study, we investigate the direct effects of phi on er potassium channels. methods: we used channel incorporation into the bilayer lipid membrane method. l-α-phosphatidylcholine, a membrane lipid, was extracted ...
