abstract: background: the availability of testis specific genes will be of help in choosing the most promising biomarkers for the detection of testicular sperm retrieval in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (noa). cdy1 histone acetyltransferase is a histone modifier which concentrates in the nucleus of round spermatids, where histone hyperacetylation occurs and causes the replacement of...

in this work, an environmentally friendly sample pre-treatment method, ultrasound assisted surfactant enhanced emulsification microextraction (uaseme) followed with spectrofluorimetry was performed for determination of oxadiazon residues in water samples. after the determination of the most suitable extraction solvent and its volume, other parameters such as type and concentration of surfactant...

Quantitative real-time PCR is an important high-throughput method in the biomedical sciences. However, existing software has limitations in handling both relative and absolute quantification. We designed quantitative PCR data analysis and management system (qPCR-DAMS), a database tool based on Access 2003, to deal with such shortcomings by the addition of integrated mathematical procedures. qPC...

methods the current study generated two recombinant lentiviruses, plex-gcn and plex-gcp, bearing noxa and puma, respectively. transduction of both genes to hepatocarcinoma (hepg2) was verified using fluorescent microscopic analysis, western blotting, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (pcr). to evaluate the potential of noxa and puma to initiate apoptosis, a caspase-9 real-tim...

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of myeloid malignancies which the risk increases with age increment. It is categorized based on genetic aberrations. Some of these genetic disorders can determine minimal residual diseases (MRD) and prognosis of AML patients. Wilms tumor (WT1) over expression is found in AML patients. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of WT1 ove...

In 183 male progeny derived from a backcross between the FGS/Kist strain, a new mouse model for focal glomerulosclerosis (FGS) in humans, and the standard normal strain, C57BL/6J, we performed a genome-wide scan for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting the glomerulosclerosis index (GSI) based on histological observation as well as kidney and body weights. Two QTLs for GSI (Gsi1-2) located o...
