statement of problem: periodontal disease (pd) has been linked to adverse cardiovascular events by unknown mechanisms. c-reactive protein (crp) is a prognostic marker for cardiovascular disease, with reported elevated serum levels during pd. purpose: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between pd and higher crp levels in the serum of acute myocardial infarction (ami) pa...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : previous reports have suggested acute phase proteins, such as albumin, to alter in hemodialysis (hd) patients. intravenous l-carnitine supplementation is expected to improve the level of plasma albumin in hd patients. this study was performed to evaluate the effects of oral l-carnitine supplementation on hemog...

analyzing the synovial fluid is one of the common methods to diagnose the articular problems to detect the stage and express the prognosis. such gross, cytological, and biochemical analysis of synovial fluids can aid in the diagnosis of various joint diseases. objectives: normal values for synovial fluid in the camels have been described previously; however, there are no reports regarding conce...

introduction: evaluating patient with acute scrotum is based on medical history (e.g. age), physical examination, blood tests, urine analysis and imaging studies. differential diagnosis may be difficult. efficacy of serum acute phase proteins in patients with acute scrotum was assessed in this study. materials and methods : 45 patients were recruited and allocated within three sub-groups; acute...

background: analysis of many proteins produced during the transition into the stationary phase and under stress conditions (including starvation stress) demonstrated that a number of novel proteins were induced in common to each stress and could be the reason for cross-protection in bacterial cells. it is necessary to investigate the synthesis of these proteins during different stress condition...

phase transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is an important character for winter wheat under cold conditions because it decreases the ability of wheat plants to maintain frost tolerance. reproductive development in winter wheat is triggered by fulfillment of vernalization requirements. this study was conducted to determine the inter-relationship between developmental stages and free...

the hydrophobic proteins of plant plasma membrane still remain largely unknown.  for example in the arabidopsis genome, receptor-like kinases (rlks) are plasma membrane proteins, functioning as the primary receptors in the signaling of stress conditions, hormones and the presence of pathogens form a diverse family of over 610 genes. a limited number of these proteins have appeard in protein pro...
