Spectrum of lymphoma subtypes based on the latest World Health Organization classification in southern Iran from 2000 to 2011.

Lymphoma, both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin, is one of the most common malignancies, with a distinct subtype distribution throughout the world. A total of 453 lymphoma cases, identified retrospectively from January 2000 to October 2011, were studied to identify the subtype distribution of lymphoma in our center, located in southern Iran, according to the latest WHO classification. The most common sites of involvement of all lymphomas were extranodal (59.

In-vitro Study of Photothermal Anticancer Activity of Carboxylated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes.

Background And Objective: Multi-walled Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNTs) as an important element of nanosciences have a remarkable absorption in the region of NIR window (650-900 nm) which can overcome the limitations of deep treatment in photothermal therapy. To disperse MWCNTs in water, it is proposed to attach carboxylated functional group (-COOH) to MWCNTs in order to increase dispersivity in water.

Materials And Methods: A stable suspension of MWCNTs-COOH with different concentrations (from 2.

Association of miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-222 rs2858060 polymorphisms with the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in Iranian women: A case-control study.

Objective: Today, many single nucleotide polymorphisms in microRNA genes are known to alter the microRNA expression levels or processing causing susceptibility of several human diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the association of microRNA-146a (rs2910164) and microRNA-222 (rs2858060) polymorphisms with susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in an Iranian population.

Materials And Methods: This case-control study was performed on 205 patients with PCOS and 205 normal women as the control group.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Larynx Presenting as a Thyroid Mass and Brief Literature Review.

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the larynx and trachea is very rare.

Case: A 45-year-old man with ACC of the larynx presenting as a thyroid mass is reported in this study. Physical examination revealed a large solid thyroid nodule in the left lobe without any lymphadenopathy.
