conclusions the obtained results indicate that rsm is an effective method for the optimization of culture conditions for hes gene expression in e. coli. results a maximum rhes mrna level of 376.16% was obtained under the following conditions: 0.6 mm iptg, 7 hours post-induction time, and 0.9 cell density before induction. the level of rhes mrna was significantly correlated with post-induction t...

objective: in this study quantitative expression of mdr1 and hoct1 genes in cml patients and normal people were measured using real-time pcr. materials and methods: to study quantitative expression of these genes by real-time pcr, master-mix with syber green was used. peripheral blood samples from 30 cml patients and 27 normal persons were harvested. real-time pcr results were analyzed with re...

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...

objective: curcumin, is the active component in turmeric (curcuma long). this agent induces apoptosis via inhibiting various signaling pathways. however, its poor aqueous solubility prevents its widespread application. in this study, dendrosomes with water-solubility, nano-sized dimensions and nontoxic properties, was used for curcumin delivery to cells. materials & methods: in the present...

introduction: cryptorchidism has been proved to cause apoptosis in germ cells in respond to changes in the stimulation levels of specific physiological events. the purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment of bilateral cryptorchidism was associated with alterations in testicular gene expression. methods: to induce bilateral cryptorchid model, immature mice were anesthetized and a...

suicide is a major public health concern, with approximately one million people committing suicide world-wide each year .risk factors for suicidal behavior include, psychiatric and medical illness, impulsivity, aggression, alcohol and drug abuse specially stimulants, and  stress. neurobiological, brain mappings and biochemical studies have revealed that suicide victims experiencing a large numb...

background: apoptosis is a process that plays an important role during early stage of implantation. the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of apoptosis in mice endometrium after ovarian stimulation at implantation period. methods: nmri female mice were divided into two groups: 1) control group, which were rendered pseudopregnant by vaginal stimulation and 2) experimental group, ...
