objective(s):small ubiquitin-like modifiers (sumos) are a family of ubiquitin-related, proteins that are involved in a wide variety of signaling pathways. sumoylation, as a vital post translational modification, regulate protein function in manycellular processes. diazinon (dzn), an organophosphate insecticide, causses oxidative stress and subsequently programmed cell death in different tissues...

background: culture media enrichment through the addition of protein hydrolysates is beneficial for achieving higher protein expression. methods: in this study, designing the optimum mixture of four soy and casein-derived hydrolysates was successfully performed by design of experiment and specific productivity increased in all predicted combinations. protein profile of recombinant cho (rcho) ce...

Introduction: Since 1954, after the first surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), several innovations have occurred in cardiac surgery, especially in children. One stage complete repair of TOF is currently possible even in infancy; however, complications such as hypoxemia, arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction, sudden death, and valvular disorders may happen. In this study, we evaluated the res...

Objective(s): The present study was conducted to examine whether the standardized uptake value (SUV) may be affected by the spatial position of a lesion in the radial direction on positron emission tomography (PET) images, obtained via two methods based on time-of-flight (TOF) reconstruction and point spread function (PSF). Methods: A cylinder phantom with the sphere (30mm diameter), located in...

background traditional digital subtraction angiography (dsa) is currently the gold standard diagnostic method for the diagnosis and evaluation of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (avm) and dural arteriovenous fistulas (davf). objectives the aim of this study was to analyze different less invasive magnetic resonance angiography (mra) images, time-resolved mra (tr-mra) and three-dimensional ti...

background: cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is endemic in southeastern anatolia, mainly in sanliurfa and hatay provinces, and the causative agents are mostly leishmania tropica and less frequently l. infantum . here, we report the first mal-di-tof analyses of leishmania promastigotes obtained from the cultures of two cl cases from osmaniye and hatay provinces who were initially diagnosed by micros...

Cyperus rotundus (CR) is a traditional medicinal herb, and recent studies demonstrated its pharmacological effects to cure neurological disorders. In our earlier reports, we also found that CR exerts anxiolytic effects and improves memory impairment in hypoxia-induced rats. In vitro CR also effectively ameliorates oxidative stress-induced SH-SY5Y neuronal cell damage. In the present study, we e...
