Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen found as mycoflora in the human body surfaces. Sevral genes play a crucial rule in its virulence including Hwp1 (hyphal wall protein 1), BCR1 and ALS gene family. Hwp1 gene is a responsible for coding a cell surface protein, which mediates biofilm formation in candida albicans. Here we investigated the presence of the HWP1gene was characteris...

Objective: Aflatoxin is known as one of the most important mycotoxins that threatens of human life. The toxin is produced by Aspergillus species which are common cause of contamination of agricultural products. For this reason, the use of organic compounds has always been considered in order to inhibit the growth of fungi and production of toxin. The aim of this study was to investigate the eff...

on the eve of 14th year of publication of “negin iran: a quarterly for studies of iran-iraq war” and after the release of an index for the first 28 issues of the quarterly published in 29th issue, the journal executive editor decided to release another index for the numbers of 1-50 in the new release of the quarterly to be used by the related researchers and those interested in this field of st...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to investigate the methylation status and mrna expression levels of p15, death-associated protein kinase (dapk), and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (socs1) genes in multiple myeloma (mm). materials and methods: the bone marrow samples of 54 mm patients were collected and the methylation status of the p15, dapk, and socs1 gene promoter regions was dete...

conclusions some results of the correlation coefficients are not the same with visualization. the reason may be due to the small number of data. materials and methods in the foundation-application study, we constructed two-way gene networks using nonparametric methods, such as spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and blomqvist’s measure, and compared them with pearson’s correlation coefficie...

Milk and its products can be frequently contaminated with enterotoxigenic methicillin-resistant S. aureus, in such a case, it causes various diseases, especially staphylococcal food poisoning. In the present study, 100 sample materials (50 goat milk, 25 cream, cheese) were collected from 65 livestock farms Erzurum. All samples analyzed tested selectively according to EN ISO 6888-1 procedure sta...

Objective(s): This study aimed to investigate the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-np) on biofilm formation and expression of the flu gene in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains. Materials and Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ZnO-np was determined by agar dilution method. The effect of MIC and sub-MIC concentrations of ZnO-np on biofilm formation were determin...
