Investigation of Methylation Levels in COMT Gene Promoter among Smokers and Opium Addicted Individuals Undergoing Methadone Treatment

1.1. Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that the COMT gene is associated with alcohol, nicotine, and illicit sub stances. The aim of the present study was to examine the methyla tion status of a remarkable region in the COMT gene promoter in methadone-treated smokers and addicts. Methods: All male sam ples, including 30 smokers, 30 […]

A new de novo mutation in HTRA1 gene associated with painful Ataxia, developmental delay, and autistic behaviors symptoms in an Iranian boy through Whole Exome Sequencing followed by homology modeling

1.1. Introduction: Due to the insufficiency of understanding about Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoen cephalopathy (CADASIL) in general clinical studies, the process of diagnosis for most CADASIL patients is complex and often prolonged. The disease’s symptomatic heterogeneity, which hap pens frequently even among family members, increases the com plexity of diagnosis. 1.2. Methods:

New frameshift in PAX6 and missense mutation in EYA1 gene found by Whole Exome Sequencing associated with severe eye impairments in an Iranian Family

1.1. Introduction: Previous studies have examined the impacts of PAX6 mutations on a wide range of eye impairments. Because of the PAX6 protein’s binding functions, alterations in its structure may prevent it from correctly connecting with the DNA molecule. 1.2. Materials and Methods: Whole Exome Sequencing [WES] was used to perform in vitro analysis on

Bacteremia due to Serratia Rubidaea in ICU: Case series

Bacteremia due to S.Rubidaea is rarely described comparing with other species of Enterobacteriacae. It interests immunocompro mised patients undergoing invasive procedures. Herein, we report four cases of bacteraemia due to this pathogen in patients admitted in ICU for ketoacidosis with history of diabetes mellitus.Common ly, a catheter-related infection complicated with deep vein throm bosis was

Logistic Multiple Regression Analysis of CT Image Evaluation of Wrist Arthroscopy-assist ed Small Incision Treatment on Postoperative Healing and Wrist Function of Patients with Distal Radius Fractures

1.1. Objective: To assess the postoperative healing of patients with distal radius fractures treated with wrist arthroscopy-assisted small incision and its effect on wrist function using CT images combined with Logistic multiple regression analysis. 1.2. Methods: 166 patients with distal radius fracture were ran domly divided into control group (open reduction and internal fixation) and

A Novel Heterozygous Mutation of Slc12a3 Gene in a Chinese Pedigree With Gitelman Syndrome

1.1. Objective: Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal reces sive tubular disorder characterized by metabolic alkalosis, hypo kalemia, hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria. GS is mostly caused by inactivating mutations of the SLC12A3 gene. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical features of a GS patient and investigate the underlying mutations of SLC12A3 gene

Correlation of IL-6 and C-reactive protein levels with the stage, differentiation and types of colorectal cancer-A cross sectional study

Interleukin-6(IL-6) and CRP have been involved in anti-inflam matory reaction and autoimmune diseases. Interleukin is known for enabling cancer growth and is essential for tumour-directed immune response. CRP modulates inflammatory responses and stimulate platelet and leukocyte responses associated with acute phase responses to tumour growth. Its accumulation in blood is as sociated with a low-level

A Rare Case of Locally Advanced Sinonasal Lymphoepithelial Carcinoma

Sinonasal lymphoepithelial carcinoma (SLEC) is an extremely rare malignant tumor of the sinonasal tract. In this case report, we present a case with locally advanced disease of the posterior ethmoid cells. We also aim to review the clinical, radiological and pathological features, as well as the available treatment strategies, contributing to the literature of this

Rare Primary Thymic Т-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma In Childhood- Сlinical Case From Our Practice

As stated in the current World Health Organization classification, T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma is a neoplasm of lympho blasts committed to T-cell lineage involving bone marrow (BM), blood, or presenting as a tissue-based mass involving the thymus, lymph nodes, or extranodal sites. We present a 10 -year -old boy who is a family -burdened mucoviscidosis. Imaging studies
