Assessment of diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit and serological markers in human brucellosis
(2008)This study was performed to evaluate commercial brucella immunoglobulin G and M-enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (IgG and IgM ELISA) kits for the diagnosis of human brucellosis and to suggest a candidate prognostic marker ... -
Asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations are elevated in women with gestational diabetes
(2010)As shown in the previous studies, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is related to endothelial dysfunction, whereas high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hCRP) is the marker of inflammation. In our study, we investigated ADMA, ... -
Audiovisual associations alter the perception of low-level visual motion
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)Motion perception is a pervasive nature of vision and is affected by both immediate pattern of sensory inputs and prior experiences acquired through associations. Recently, several studies reported that an association can ... -
Common telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutations in hepatocellular carcinomas from different geographical locations
(WJG Press, 2015)AIM: To determine the mutation status of human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT ) promoter region in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from different geographical regions. METHODS: We analyzed the genomic DNA ... -
Effect of patient sex on white matter alterations in unilateral medial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis assessed by diffusion tensor imaging
(2013)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Studies shows ictal behavior and symptoms are affected by patient sex in temporal lobe epilepsy. The purpose of our study was to determine whether alterations in the WM as assessed by DTI display ... -
Expression of CK-19 and CEA mRNA in peripheral blood of gastric cancer patients
(2010)Aim: To investigate the clinical and pathological relevance of detection of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the peripheral blood of gastric carcinoma patients before operation. Patients and Methods: Fifty patients with ... -
Extreme clonality in lymphoblastoid cell lines with implications for allele specific expression analyses
(2008)Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) are being actively and extensively used to examine the expression of specific genes and (genome-wide expression profiles, including allele specific expression assays. However, it has recently ... -
Gadolinium leakage into subarachnoid space and cystic metastases
(2013)Subarachnoid space (SAS) and cystic metastatic lesions of brain parenchyma appear hypointense on fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unless there is a hemorrhage or ... -
Iatrogenic superficial external pudendal artery pseudoaneurysm: Treatment with doppler us-guided compression
(Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), 2014)Pseudoaneurysms rarely occur as a serious complication following incomplete hemostasis of an arterial puncture site. As a result of the increase in diagnostic and therapeutic angiography, the frequency of iatrogenic ... -
Identification of endogenous reference genes for qRT-PCR analysis in normal matched breast tumor tissues
(Cognizant Communication Corporation, 2009)Quantitative gene expression measurements from tumor tissue are frequently compared with matched normal and/or adjacent tumor tissue expression for diagnostic marker gene selection as well as assessment of the degree of ... -
Malignant-lesion segmentation using 4D co-occurrence texture analysis applied to dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance breast image data
(2007)Purpose: To investigate the use of four-dimensional (4D) co-occurrence-based texture analysis to distinguish between nonmalignant and malignant tissues in dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR images. Materials and Methods: ... -
Mutation in TOR1AIP1 encoding LAP1B in a form of muscular dystrophy: A novel gene related to nuclear envelopathies
(Elsevier Ltd, 2014)We performed genome-wide homozygosity mapping and mapped a novel myopathic phenotype to chromosomal region 1q25 in a consanguineous family with three affected individuals manifesting proximal and distal weakness and atrophy, ... -
Mutations in the very low-density lipoprotein receptor VLDLR cause cerebellar hypoplasia and quadrupedal locomotion in humans
(National Academy of Sciences, 2008)Quadrupedal gait in humans, also known as Unertan syndrome, is a rare phenotype associated with dysarthric speech, mental retardation, and varying degrees of cerebrocerebellar hypoplasia. Four large consanguineous kindreds ... -
Na+/I-symporter and type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase gene expression in amniotic membrane and placenta and its relationship to maternal thyroid hormones
(2013)Placental type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase (D3) potentially protects the fetus from the elevated maternal thyroid hormones. Na+/I- symporter (NIS) is a plasma membrane glycoprotein, which mediates active iodide uptake. Our ... -
Neural correlates of acquired color category effects
(2012)Category training can induce category effects, whereby color discrimination of stimuli spanning a newly learned category boundary is enhanced relative to equivalently spaced stimuli from within the newly learned category ... -
Neuro-ophthalmologic findings in humans with quadrupedal locomotion
(2012)Purpose: To report the neuro-ophthalmologic findings in four patients from the same family with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and dysequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ)2 associated with quadrupedal locomotion. Method: A ... -
De novo balanced (X;14) translocation in a patient with recurrent miscarriages: Case report
(2011)We report a 23-year-old phenotypically normal female patient who had previously suffered from recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) who found to have an X;14 trans location and a Methylene- Tetrahdrofolate-Reductase (MTHFR) ... -
Perisylvian GABA levels in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2017)The aim of this study is to measure GABA levels of perisylvian cortices in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients, using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). Patients with schizophrenia (n = 25), bipolar ... -
SIP1 is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma by promoter hypermethylation
(2011)Background: Smad interacting protein-1 is a transcription factor that is implicated in transforming growth factor-β/bone morphogenetic protein signaling and a repressor of E-cadherin and human telomerase reverse transcriptase. ... -
Variation in the attachment of Streptococcus pneumoniae to human pharyngeal epithelial cells after treatment with S-carboxymethylcysteine
(2008)S-carboxymethylcysteine (S-CMC) is a mucolytic agent that can prevent respiratory infection by decreasing the attachment of respiratory pathogens to human pharyngeal epithelial cells (HPECs). Streptococcus pneumoniae is a ...
