Background: About 40 thousand newborns are delivered annually with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). It induces serious CNS complications. Methods: In a review of, the word “fetal alcohol syndrome” was searched in PubMed and Google Scholar and the retrieved articles were summarized. Results: Many studies showed that alcohol can cause more defects in fetus than heroin, cocaine and marijuana. The pos...

Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of anti-Fas ribozyme on the apoptosis of T lymphocytes (T cells) in mice model with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and Methods: Male 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were used to establish the COPD model by exposure to cigarette smoke. The COPD mice were sacrificed for spleen dissection and T cell isolation. T cell...

Background: Uterine leiomyoma (UL) is a benign tumor of uterine smooth muscle that affects women in reproductive ages. FAS has an important role in initial stages of apoptosis. Previous studies have shown an association between the FAS gene and tumorigenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the relationship between FAS A-670G (rs 1800682) and UL risk. Methods: The FAS gene polymorphism of...

Objectives BSCI/BSTI guidelines recommend reporting aortic valve calcification (AVC) on all chest CT regardless of scan indication. Formal calcium scoring can identify stenosis but the clinical impact routine is unclear. This study assessed AVC prevalence, prognosis and association between (AS) echocardiography. Methods Retrospective, single-centre analysis consecutive CTs (Ja...

AIM To evaluate post-operative pain in children and compare self-ratings of pain with those of a parent, and to study analgesic use after dental extractions under general anaesthesia (GA). STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational study. METHODS One hundred children, aged 3-12 years, who had extractions performed under GA participated. After treatment, the child and one parent assessed post-op...

Modeling of Fourier amplitude spectra (FAS) seismic motions has gained much attention in engineering seismology. In the past few years, several ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) and inter-frequency correlation structure FAS have been established. Due to many preferable characteristics FAS, probabilistic hazard/risk analysis is rapidly changing from ergodic, spectrum acceleration Sa ( T...

objective(s):to investigate the effects of local mild hypothermia on the expression of fas, fasl and mmp-3 after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. materials and methods:male wistar rats were divided into sham-operated group (sham), normothermia group (nt), and hypothermia group (ht). mcao/r model was established by longa’s method, and reperfusion was allowed after 2 hr occlusion. mild hypo...
