Epigenetics is the study of inheritable changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence. The main mechanisms of epigenetic regulation include DNA methylation, modifications in histones, and micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNA). Recent research evidence
Narrow escape from confinement through a nanochannel is the critical step of complex transport processes including size-exclusion-based separations, oil and gas extraction from the microporous subsurface environment, and ribonucleic acid translocation through nuclear pore complex channels. While
Recently, the development of effective strategies for enhancing drug delivery to the brain has been a topic of great interest in both clinical and pharmaceutical fields. In this review, we summarize our studies evaluating nose-to-brain delivery of drugs and small interfering ribonucleic acids in
OBJECTIVE
To investigate mRNA expression of aromatase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17betaHSD2) in epithelial and stromal cells from eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with deep endometriosis.
METHODS
Prospective study.
METHODS
University hospital.
METHODS
Patients with
Very little is known about steroidogenic capacities in the uterus during the early stages of pregnancy in rodents. Cholesterol side-chain cleavage cytochrome P450 (P450scc) is the enzyme catalizing the first and key regulatory reaction controlling the production of steroid hormones. Using a cRNA
Estrogen receptor (ER) was demonstrated in nontumorous and adenomatous human pituitaries by autoradiography and biochemical assays. In the present study, we investigated ER mRNA by in situ hybridization applied on paraffin section of 9 nontumorous pituitaries obtained at surgery or autopsy and 109
In the studies of experimental salmonellosis, immunization of mice with a live vaccine SER of S. enteritidis was found to be effective against further infection with virulent S. enteritidis 116--54. Macrophages obtained from the peritoneal cavity, subcutaneous tissue or liver of immunized mice
The presence of Epstein-Barr virus was analyzed in 79 cases of oral epithelial proliferative diseases by polymerase chain reaction, in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-deoxyribonucleic acid and Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small messenger ribonucleic acid and immunohistochemistry for
The aim of this study was to explore the effect of micro-ribonucleic acid (miR)-146a on acute gouty arthritis rats through Toll-like receptor-4/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (TLR4/MyD88) signal transduction pathway.A total of 30 clean-grade OBJECTIVE
RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), a potent and versatile chemokine, is capable of attracting monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils, and eosinophils. This cytokine has been implicated in the regulation of the inflammatory response and in the recruitment of
BACKGROUND
The phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) enzyme catalyzes the interconversion of 2- and 3-phosphoglycerate in the glycolytic /gluconeogenic pathways that are present in the majority of cellular organisms. They can be classified as cofactor-dependent PGM (dPGM) or cofactor-independent PGM (iPGM).
The aim of the present study was to explore the mechanism of agonists in regulating transcriptional level of polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) in salivary gland epithelial cells, thus revealing the defense effect of salivary immune on bacteria in the oral cavity. Sixty patients with oral
OBJECTIVE
To elucidate molecular mechanisms accounting for excessive menstrual blood loss, and to present the therapeutic effect of an intrauterine levonorgestrel system (LNG-IUS) in menorrhagia.
METHODS
A multicenter study comparing hysterectomy with the LNG-IUS in treating menorrhagia.
METHODS

Cytokines, and interleukin-6 in particular, are inflammatory peptide mediators that are extensively studied as regulators of bone tissue homeostasis. They seem to be involved in osteoclast activation and bone resorption and probably play a role in osseointegrated implant rejection. In this study we
BACKGROUND
Characterizing Mycobacterium intracellulare responsible for nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections may aid in controlling outbreaks. This study aimed to compare 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing and variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) genotyping of M. intracellulare
