carney’s complex is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome that involves spotty skin pigmentations, recurrent cardiac myxomas, endocrine hyperactivity, pituitary adenomas, peripheral nerve tumors, testicular tumors, and ovarian lesions. we present a case of sudden cardiac death in a 40 year old female with a history of carney’s complex with recurrent cardiac...

conclusions the results of this meta-analysis showed that gardasil and cervarix vaccines are highly effective against cervical cancer. according to the point that approximately 50% of cervical cancers and human carcinogenicity are related to hpv-16 infection, the bivalent hpv vaccine might have protective effects against hpv-16 cin2-3 lesion and cervical cancer. results by combining the results...

results rbp4 levels in obese children (19 482.9 ± 3 302.2 pg/ml) were higher than those found in the lean control group (14 295.68 ± 2 381.3 pg/ml) (p < 0.05). in the obese patients, rbp4 levels showed a significant correlation with the grade of fatty liver and bmi (p < 0.05). conclusions it was found that the level of rbp4 had a strong correlation with the severity of fatty liver. therefore, r...

conclusions there were significant linkages between hcv genotypes and il28b genotypes/alleles. patients with a favorable il28b and genotypes 1 and 4 hcv infection stand a better chance to clear hcv in the acute phase. objectives this meta-analysis was designed to determine the world-wide distribution patterns of il28b genotypes and alleles, and to find possible linkages between il28b and hcv ge...

background: in recent years, adipose tissue, due to the stem cells contained within, has found a new special place in laboratory and clinical applications. these adipose‑derived stem cells (adscs) have the same characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmscs). although bone marrow (bm) is not easily accessible and its procurements may be painful, most patients possess excess fat wh...

We have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. This network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...
