The effect of baicalin as A PPAR activator on erythroid differentiation of CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood
(2015)Objective: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a group of nuclear receptor proteins whose functions as transcription factors regulate gene expressions. PPARs play essential roles in the regulation ... -
The effect of applied pressure on the electrical impedance of the bladder tissue using small and large probes
(2008)There are a number of studies using electrical impedance spectroscopy, a minimally invasive technique, as a tissue characterizing method with different probe sizes (usually with larger probe diameters than that used in ... -

(2015)Background: Anesthesia induction in patients with current substance abuse can be a challenge for anesthesiologists. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding Sufentanil to Bupivacaine on duration of ... -
The effect of a single dose of intravenous dexamethasone administered before parotid surgery on facial nerve paralysis; randomized controlled clinical trial
(2018)Background: Facial nerve weakness is the major complication of parotid tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single dose of intravenous dexamethasone before superficial parotidectomy on postoperative ... -
The effect of ω-fatty acids on the expression of phospholipase A2 group 2A in human gastric cancer patients
(2016)BACKGROUND: Studies show that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may have an inhibitory role in carcinogenesis. It was previously shown that PLA2 group 2A (PLA2G2A) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression is associated with less ... -
The effect of ω-fatty acids on mRNA expression level of PPARγ in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma
(2016)BACKGROUND: The antineoplastic role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) ligandshas previously been demonstrated in several gastric cancer cell lines. Activation of PPARγ by polyunsaturated fatty ... -
The Dynamics of Neurosteroids and Sex-Related Hormones in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease
(2018)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is commonly diagnosed by vast extracellular amyloid deposits and existence of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. In accordance with the literature, age-related loss of sex steroid hormones in ... -
The diagnostic accuracy of high resolution ultrasound imaging for detection of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure
(2011)Ultrasound is one of the preferred modalities for evaluation of the parathyroid glands. This study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of high resolution ultrasound for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with ... -
The diagnostic value of the resistivity index of the common carotid arteries in severe internal carotid artery stenosis
