Enhancement of the Sensitivity of the Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells to ABT-737 by Formononetin.

Overexpression of (myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein 1) Mcl-1 is associated with the reduction of ABT-737 toxicity and secondary resistance. In this study, the effect of formononetin (biochanin B) on Mcl-1 expression, cell growth, apoptosis, and ABT-737 sensitivity of the acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells was investigated. In this experimental study, the cell proliferation and MTT assays were used to investigate the effect of formononetin on cell growth and survival.

Formononetin and Dihydroartemisinin Act Synergistically to Induce Apoptosis in Human Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell Lines.

Objective: Enhanced cell survival and drug resistance in tumor cells have been linked to the overexpression of antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family proteins, including Bcl-2 and Mcl-1. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of formononetin and dihydroartemisinin combination on the growth and apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, the cell survival and cell proliferation were tested by MTT assay and trypan blue staining.

A systematic review of linguistic and metalinguistic studies in Persian-speaking individuals with intellectual disorder.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Linguistic and Metalinguistic abilities of Persian-speaking individuals with Intellectual disorder to identify the areas and results of the research carried out in order to recognize their main linguistic features, the research gaps, and also guide future research. To this end, first, related keywords were searched and related topics were separated. Then, by reading the abstracts and, if necessary, the entire articles, the unrelated articles were removed.

Linguistic and metalinguistic characteristics of Persian-speaking children with autistic spectrum disorders: A systematic review.

Studies of ASD children have mainly focused on pragmatics, but research showed they have problems in other language dimensions. The present systematic review aims to analyze the literature related to linguistic and metalinguistic studies to determine linguistic characteristics and their correlation with reading and writing. After reviewing 43 articles founded, the studies were divided into four main categories: descriptive, comparative, linguistic, and finally nonlinguistic interventional studies.
