introduction: commitment to abstracting standards has a very significant role in information retrieval. the present research aimed to evaluate the rate of commitment to iso 214 standards among the persian abstracts of approved research projects at school of health management and medical informatics, isfahan university of medical sciences, isfahan, iran.    methods: this descriptive study used a...

Background & Aims: An abstract is the best source of information within a content. The structured abstract is the best representation of the main source. Writing an appropriate abstract requires adherence to standards of abstracting. The aim of this study wasto investigate the compliance of Persian abstracts of research papers in medical journals of universities of medical sciences (type 1) wit...

The action of β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) induces cardiac fibroblast (CF) proliferation and collagen synthesis and is a major source of the cardiac fibrosis caused by various diseases. Recently, microRNA-214 (miR-214) was found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiac remodelling. In the present study, we examined the role and the underlying mechanism of miR-214 in isoprotere...

More and more miRNAs have been shown to regulate gene expression in the heart and dysregulation of their expression has been linked to cardiovascular diseases including the miR-199a/214 cluster. However, the signature of circulating miR-214 expression and its possible roles during the development of heart failure has been less well studied. In this study, we elucidated the biological and clinic...

AIMS To characterize the effects of long-term β-adrenergic receptor stimulation on Rem protein and mRNA expression in rat heart and possible involvement of miR-132. METHODS Adult rats were treated with isoproterenol (ISO, 150 µg.kg.h(-1)) for 2 d and Rem, miR-132, and α1c (the principal subunit of Cav1.2 channels) were measured at protein and mRNA levels with western blot and quantitative rev...

purpose: english abstracts are the only way through which non-speaking readers can access persian papers, the quality of english abstracts from the viewpoint of semantic and syntax should be controlled. adopting a linguistic framework, the present study sought to determine the linguistic and orthographic problems embedded in english abstracts of msrt’s high ranking basic sciences journals, aimi...
