1. Evaluation of toxin-antitoxin genes, antibiotic resistance, and virulence genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Toxin-antitoxin genes RelBE and HigBA are known to be involved in the formation of biofilm, which is an important virulence factor for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of toxin-antitoxin genes and exoenzyme S and exotoxin A virulence genes in P. aeruginosa isolates and whether there is a rela

2. Quantification of cell-free circulating mitochondrial DNA copy number variation in hepatocellular carcinoma
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary malignant liver tumor. Mitochondrial DNA copy number has been shown to be associated with various malignancies. However, there has not been any study on the absolute quantification of mtDNA copy number in hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to develop a new method for abs

3. Evaluation of the promoter methylation status of hypoxia factor 3A and interleukin-6 genes and expression levels of mir-130b and mir-146b in childhood obesity
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Obesity, which causes many serious diseases, is increasing exponentially in childhood across the world. Epigenetic changes, as well as genetics, play an important role in the process of adipogenesis. Therefore, we aimed to examine the expression levels of obesity-related MicroRNA-130b and MicroRNA-146b and the methylation status of hypoxi

4. Evaluation of the Rho-kinase gene expression and polymorphisms in adult patients with acute appendicitis: a differential impact of gender
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Acute appendicitis represents one of the most common causes of acute intra-abdominal emergencies worldwide. In this case-control study, we aimed to investigate associations of Rho-kinase gene expression and polymorphisms with acute appendicitis in a Turkish population. We also aimed to study the effects of gender on these parameters. MET

5. Oxidative Stress and Changes of Important Metabolic Gene Expressions as a Potential Biomarker in the Diagnosis of Atherosclerosis in Leukocytes
ABSTRACT Introduction: Presenilin 1 (PSEN1), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) play a vital role in prediction, diagnosis and therapy of metabolic disorders. Methods: Metabolic enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation in serum of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) and coronary artery diseases were measured by spectrophoto

6. Diagnostic and prognostic significance of long noncoding RNA LINC00173 in patients with melanoma
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: A growing volume of literature has suggested long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as important players in tumor progression. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic value of lncRNA LINC00173 (LINC00173) in melanoma. METHODS: LINC00173 expression was measured in 163 paired cancerous and noncancerous specimen samples

7. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases among Klebsiella pneumoniae from Iraqi patients with community-acquired pneumonia
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Beta-lactams resistance is a major clinical problem in treating pneumonia. This study aimed to detect the extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae among patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Al-Najaf City, Iraq. METHODS: A total of 511 sputum samples were obtained from all suspected patients w

8. Antitumor activity of irinotecan with ellagic acid in C6 glioma cells
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Irinotecan-based combination chemotherapies in malignant gliomas need to be examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergetic effect of ellagic acid, a natural polyphenolic antioxidant compound, with irinotecan, an inhibitor of topoisomerase I enzyme, on the growth, cadherin switch, and angiogenic processes of a glioma cel

9. Clinical diagnosis and treatment of primary thyroid tuberculosis: a retrospective study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Primary thyroid tuberculosis (PTT) is an uncommon type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It does not have specific clinical manifestations, and most cases are diagnosed through postoperative histopathological examination. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic pattern and management strategy

11. Evaluation of the rs35996865 polymorphism of the ROCK1 gene in sepsis
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Sepsis is a complex and serious medical condition resulting from the activation of an innate host response to infections. The etiology of sepsis is complex and can be influenced by genetic susceptibility. The purpose of the present study was to investigate a possible association of Rho-kinase 1 (ROCK1) gene polymorphism with sepsis in a T

12. A new biomarker in severe pneumonia associated with coronavirus disease 2019: hypoalbuminemia. A prospective study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Effective triage and early detection are very important for controlling and treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Thus, the relationships between hypoalbuminemia and other acute-phase reactants in such cases need to be evaluated. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the importance of albumin levels in cases of severe pneumonia due to COV
