The role of inflammation has been proven in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) pathogenesis. Due to the effect of NLRP3 gene expression in the inflammation process of MI, we aimed to explore the expression changes and diagnostic power of four inflammation-related miRNAs including miR-17-3p, miR-101-3p, miR-335-3p, miR-296-3p and their potential target, NLRP3, in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) patients as two major classes of AMI. The expression level of these genes were evaluated in 300 participants equally divided into three groups of STEMI, NSTEMI, and control using quantitative real-time PCR...

Climate change is of paramount importance for ecosystems, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. The major aim of the current study is to monitor vegetation and land use changes, and run drought assessment using field and satellite data. The main precipitation proportions in the studied region are influenced by the Westerlies, meaning that any variations in these precipitation systems significantly impact the region. The utilized data entailed MODIS images for 16- and 8-day intervals between 2000 and 2013, TM and OLI sensor images recorded in 1985 and 2013, precipitation network data of TRMM satellite between 2000 and 2013, and synoptic data 32-year period...

Natural protein-based delivery systems have received special interest over the last few years. Different carriers are already developed in the food industry to protect, encapsulate and deliver bioactive compounds. Rice bran protein (RBP) is currently used as a carrier in encapsulating bioactives due to its excellent functional properties, great natural value, low price, good biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Recently, RBP-based carriers including emulsions, microparticles, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, liposomes, and core-shell structures have been studied extensively in the literature...

AIM OF THE STUDY: Cholestasis/cirrhosis could induce erythrocyte lysis. The incidence of various types of anemia in cirrhosis is approx. 75%. Several studies have mentioned the pivotal role of oxidative stress in this complication. Taurine (TAU) is the human body's most abundant free amino acid. TAU is known as a robust cell membrane stabilizer. Many studies have mentioned that TAU could counteract oxidative stress in various experimental models. The current study was intended to evaluate the effect of TAU on erythrocytes in cirrhotic rats...

PURPOSE: This research intended to fabricate the thiolated chitosan-dextran nanoparticles (NPs) containing topotecan (TPH-CMD-TCS-NPs) to assess the ability of NPs in improving the efficacy of intravitreal chemotherapy of retinoblastoma in a rabbit xenograft model. METHODS: The coacervation process was used to produce the NPs. The cellular uptake of Cyanine-3 (CY3)-labeled NPs were investigated in human retinoblastoma Y79 cells using confocal microscopy. Also, the prepared TPH-CMD-TCS-NPs were tested in vitro by the tetrazolium dyes II (XTT) and flow cytometry in order to assess their cytotoxicity...

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm that is relatively common in the distal extremities. Primary SS of bone is an extremely rare finding. Here in this report, we present a 44-year-old male patient referred with bone and later bone fracture that was finally diagnosed with primary SS of thumerus. So far, 13 documented cases of primary SS of the bone have been reported. The current case is the second known case of primary SS of humerus. Our case was treated with both neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapies associated with surgical tumor removal and prosthesis implantation...

Fish skin grafting as a new skin substitute is currently being used in clinical applications. Acceleration of the wound healing, lack of disease transmission, and low cost of the production process can introduce fish skin as a potential alternative to other grafts. An appropriate decellularization process allows the design of 3D acellular scaffolds for skin regeneration without damaging the morphology and extracellular matrix content. Therefore, the role of decellularization processes is very important to maintain the properties of fish skin...

Due to the increasing incidence rate of obesity worldwide and the associated complications such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, research on the adipose tissue physiology and the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has gained tremendous attention. The ECM, one of the most crucial components in body tissues, undergoes remodeling and regeneration of its constituents to guarantee normal tissue function. There is a crosstalk between fat tissue and various body organs, including but not limited to the liver, heart, kidney, skeletal muscle, and so forth...

We aimed to determine the effects of isoproterenol on arrhythmia recurrence in atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) patients treated with catheter ablation. The present randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on AVNRT patients candidates for radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The patients were randomly assigned to receive isoproterenol (0.5-4 μg/min) or not (control group) for arrhythmia re-induction after ablation. The results of the electrophysiological (EP) study, the ablation parameters, and the arrhythmia recurrence rate were recorded...

BACKGROUND: Burn injuries result in disruption of the skin barrier against opportunistic infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the main infectious agents colonizing burn wounds and making severe infections. Biofilm production and other virulence factors along with antibiotic resistance limit appropriate treatment options and time. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Wound samples were collected from hospitalized burn patients. P. aeruginosa isolates and related virulence factors identified by the standard biochemical and molecular methods...

NK cells are known as frontline responders that are efficient in combating several maladies as well as leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania spp. As such they are being investigated to be used for adoptive transfer therapy and vaccine. In spite of the lack of antigen-specific receptors at their surface, NK cells can selectively recognize pathogens, accomplished by the activation of the receptors on the NK cell surface and also as the result of their effector functions. Activation of NK cells can occur through interaction between TLR-2 expressed on NK cells and...
