Transplantation of bioengineered dermal derived matrix-scaffold in combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves wound healing in diabetic rats.

Successful treatment of diabetic wounds requires multifactorial approaches. Herein we investigated the effects of a bioengineered three-dimensional dermal derived matrix-scaffold (DMS) in combination with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in repairing of wound model in diabetic rats. Thirty days after induction of diabetes, a circular wound was created and treatments were performed for 21 days.

50-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism of the superoxide dismutase-1 is associated with bladder cancer risk in an Iranian population.

Bladder cancer (BC) is considered the sixth prevalent malignancy in men and the ninth leading cause of malignancy-related worldwide. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme in the defense system against oxidative stress. Hence, we aimed to investigate whether the 50 bp Insertion/Deletion(Ins/Del) polymorphism of the SOD1 associated with the risk of BC.

Association Between miR-146a rs2910164 Polymorphism and Breast Cancer Susceptibility: An Updated Meta-Analysis of 9545 Cases and 10030 Controls.

Background: Several studies have reported a possible association of miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism with Breast Cancer (BC) development. However, the correlation between this polymorphism and susceptibility to BC is under debate. The current meta-analysis was designed and performed to more conclusively evaluate the miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism and its potential link to BC.

Association between Genetic Polymorphisms of miR-1307, miR- 1269, miR-3117 and Breast Cancer Risk in a Sample of South East Iranian Women.

Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in the susceptibility and development of cancer cells.

Objective: Examining the dependency of breast cancer risk with genetic polymorphisms of miR-1307, miR-1269, and miR-3117 in a sample of Iranian women (southeast region).

Methods: The case-control study consisted of 520 individuals (260 diagnosed BC patients, 260 healthy individuals).

Evaluating the Possible Association between PD-1 (Rs11568821, Rs2227981, Rs2227982) and PD-L1 (Rs4143815, Rs2890658) Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Breast Cancer in a Sample of Southeast Iranian Women.

Introduction: Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and its ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) play a critical role as a  regulator of immune-system cells, including T cell, natural killer T (NKT), monocytes, dendritic cells (DC), and B cells.

Objective: This study aimed to find a possible association between PD-1 (rs11568821, rs2227981, rs2227982), and PD-L1 (rs4143815, rs2890658) variants and Breast Cancer (BC) risk in a sample of southeast Iranian women.

Method: The case-control study consisted of 520 individuals, including 260 histologically confirmed BC patients and 260 non-cancer age-matching healthy women as the control group.

An updated meta-analysis of the association between fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 polymorphisms and susceptibility to cancer.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is a cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) for FGFs. Several studies have focused on the association between FGFR4 polymorphisms and cancer development. This meta-analysis aimed to estimate the association between FGFR4 rs351855 (Gly388Arg), rs1966265 (Val10Ile), rs7708357, rs2011077, and rs376618 polymorphisms and cancer risk.

Genetic association between gene and the risk of cancer: an updated meta-analysis.

Several recent investigations show that HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA () play an important role in the pathogenesis of different cancers. polymorphisms has been widely studied in the context of association between with the risk of cancer pathogenesis. However, there is no certain conclusion about the role of polymorphisms in different cancer initiation and progression.

LMO1 polymorphisms and the risk of neuroblastoma: Assessment of meta-analysis of case-control studies.

Neuroblastoma (NB), a neuroendocrine tumour, is one of the most prevalent cancers in children. The link between LMO1 polymorphisms and NB has been investigated by several groups, rendering inconclusive results. Here, with this comprehensive systematic review and up-to-date meta-analysis, we aim to distinctively elucidate the possible correlation between LMO1 polymorphisms and NB susceptibility.

Association between genetic polymorphisms of long noncoding RNA H19 and cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19, a well-known oncogenic lncRNA, is overexpressed in various cancers. Several studies have investigated the association between polymorphisms in lncRNA H19 and the risk of various cancer types; however, the findings were inconsistent. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to identify the precise association between H19 polymorphisms and cancer risk.

Association between and Polymorphisms and the Risk of Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of Case-Control Studies.

A number of case-control studies regarding the association of the polymorphisms in the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) genes with the risk of cancer have yielded inconsistent findings. Therefore, we have conducted a comprehensive, updated meta-analysis study to identify the impact of and polymorphisms on overall cancer susceptibility. The findings revealed that rs2227981 and rs11568821 polymorphisms significantly decreased the overall cancer risk (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.
