Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mental disorder that leads to abnormal swings in mood, energy, activity level, attention, and the capability to accomplish daily tasks. Several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in BD patients. We have compared expression levels of five NF-κB-associated lncRNAs, namely ANRIL, CEBPA-DT, H19, NKILA and HNF1A-AS1 in blood samples of BD patients compared with controls.

Fertility preservation is one of the most important issues in assisted reproductive technology. Previous studies have shown that cytokines and growth factors can improve follicle growth. The endometrial stromal cells secrete various factors that are involved in maintaining the integrity of uterine and epithelial secretory function.

Background & Objective: The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology (TPS) is a new method for evaluating urinary cytology designed to reduce unreproducible reports. The aim of this study was to reclassify and compare urinary cytology reports with TPS criteria to determine the frequency of unreproducible reports compared to the previous system.

Methods: In this study, the laboratory electronic registration system analyzed patients' urine samples taken by voided or washing and brushing methods.

Introduction: Circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) increases in some pathologic conditions like cancer. We aimed to investigate the correlation between some individual factors and the ccfDNA level in peripheral blood of Iranian in relation to prostate cancer.

Material And Method: 30 patients with prostate cancer (PCa), 40 with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), and 30 controls were studied.

Article Synopsis
  • Esophageal Squamous-Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly cancer, especially prevalent in Iran, prompting research into new treatment methods using Birch tree stem cells.
  • The study developed a biotechnological approach to produce large quantities of activated Birch stem cells and measured their triterpenoid content and cytotoxic effects on ESCC cells.
  • Results showed that Birch stem cell extract effectively induced apoptosis in cancer cells, achieving a higher total apoptosis rate compared to doxorubicin, while highlighting the need for sustainable production due to Birch's declining availability in Iran.*

Recently, studies have shown that Fucosylation plays an important role in the invasion and metastatic process of CSLCs. Understanding the expression pattern of fucosyltransferase (FUT) genes may help to suggest better-targeted therapy strategies for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The study aimed to address the expression pattern of FUT gene variants in esophageal CSLCs and parental adherent cells.
