Background: The frequency of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, an autosomal recessive defect, is approximately 3 per 10,000 individuals in Shiraz and surrounding areas, and is increased due to high consanguinity marriage frequency. The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the frequency and spectrum of gene mutation of PK in newborns, from Shiraz and surrounding areas. Materials and Methods...

Background. Mortality from acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation in cardiac hospitals ranges 4.5 to 7 %, and these data has not decreased recent years. The most common cause of death patients is cardiogenic shock, the likelihood which directly depends on infarct size. It quite clear that there an urgent need create drugs limit size prevent occurrence shock. aim. To evaluate role...

This study aims to determine changes in levels of Creatine Kinase-Myocardial Band and F2-Isoprostane after a 30 km cycling event. is pre-experimental on subjects male cyclists aged 30-60 years taken by purposive sampling method. The pretest was carried out the day before event, then post-test 2 hours Blood testing done with an ELISA Kit. Data analysis using Wilcoxon test showed significant even...

urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (upar) and its ligands play a major role in many tumors by mediating extracellular matrix degradation and signaling cascades leading to tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. recently we introduced upar decapeptide antagonist with cytotoxic effect on mda-mb-231 cell line. in this study we assessed the alteration in upar downstream signaling following tre...

Sunitinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor which prevents tumor growth and metastatic progression. It was approved for treatment of advanced renal cell cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor and advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It has several adverse reactions on multi organ systems including hematologic system. Although the neutropenia and thrombocytopenia commonly happens as Gra...

Although ginsenoside Rg3 has been shown to exert anticancer effects on a variety of malignancies, the and molecular mechanisms oesophageal cancer remain unclear. Therefore, these factors must be explored. Here, we analyzed effect cell proliferation migration, as well its apoptosis. Furthermore, detected downstream pathways that could act on. The results showed significantly inhibited migration ...

In this work, different ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoate derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their Src Kinase inhibitory activity. For this purpose, the appropriate substituted acetophenone derivatives reacted with diethyl oxalate in the presence of sodium ethoxide in dried ethanol to give the corresponding products. All compounds showed moderate activities comparing with staurosporine a...
