Tumor Targeting siRNA-COG3 to Suppress Tumor Progression in Mice and Inhibit Cancer Metastasis and Angiogenesis in Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines.

Background: The COG complex is implicated in the tethering of retrograde intra-Golgi vesicles, which involves vesicular tethering and SNAREs. SNARE complexes mediate the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells through MMPs which activate growth factors for ECM fragments by binding to integrin receptors. Increasing MMPs is in line with YKL40 since YKL40 is linked to promoting angiogenesis through VEGF and can increase ovarian cancer (OC) resistance to chemotropic and cell migration.

Role of S100 and YKL40 on Intraventricular Cerebral Hemorrhages in the Preterm Infant and the Neuroprotective Role of miR-138- siRNAs-HIF-1a and miR-21-siRNAs-HVCN1 in Neonatal Mice with Nerve Injury.

Background: Epilepsy and intraventricular-cerebral hemorrhage is a common complication irreversible in preterm infants. Inflammation leads to an increase in intracellular calcium, acidosis, and oxygen usage, and finally, may damage brain cells. Increases in HIF-1a and HVCN1 can reduce the complications of oxygen consumption and acidosis in infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).

This study aimed to investigate the biopsychosocial factors associated with the method of childbirth and designed a predictive model using the decision tree C4.

Effect of turmeric on adiponectin, sexual function and sexual hormones in stressed mice.

Sexual function is essential for species survival. Melanocortin, progesterone, and estrogen can improve sexual function and they are modulated by adiponectin hormone which can be increased by Turmeric. In various studies shows Turmeric ability that is easily accessible to increase serum adiponectin levels.

The influence of mode of delivery, anthropometric indices, and infant's sex on the maternal and cord blood orexin-A levels: A cohort study.

Background: Orexin as an adipokin hormone plays an important role in appetite regulation, energy metabolism, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The main source of orexin secretion in nonpregnant and pregnant women is adipose tissue and placenta, respectively. This research was conducted to evaluate the association between orexin-A level and the mode of delivery, anthropometric indices, and sex of the infant.

Maternal omentin-1 level, quality of life and marital satisfaction in relation to mode of delivery: a prospective cohort study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the maternal omentin-1 level, quality of life and marital satisfaction of women with cesarean and vaginal delivery.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 45 women with elective cesarean delivery and 45 women with vaginal delivery who referred to a public hospital in Tehran, Iran. Maternal omentin-1 level was measured by ELISA kits within 24 h after delivery.

School girls and childbearing motives: A randomized clinical trial through hidden curriculum.

Background: Childbearing motives are considered as the primary stimulus of fertility and the importance of making fertility decisions in humans.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of a new form of interactional program on the childbearing motives of students.

Materials And Methods: According to a well-defined, single-blind randomized controlled trial, we selected eight government schools in Tehran.

Childbearing Intention and its Associated Factors among Adolescent Girls: A Narrative Review.

Background: Childbearing is an important phenomenon among adolescents. Studies that have evaluated teenagers' reproductive patterns have found that many adolescents are ambivalent regarding sexual activity and childbearing. In order to assess the patterns of adolescents' reproductive health and pregnancy to conduct interventions, every country needs to collect specific data about childbearing intentions.

Adiponectin levels in maternal serum and umbilical cord blood at birth by mode of delivery: relationship to anthropometric measurements and fetal sex.

Background: The rate of cesarean section is increasing worldwide. Adiponectin is a hormone related to anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects; and it's concentrations may change in response to inflammatory situations including surgical intervention. The aim of the current study was to investigate serum adiponectin levels in maternal and umbilical cord blood according to different modes of delivery and their relationship with anthropometric measurements and fetal sex.

The Postpartum Marital Satisfaction, Maternal Serum Concentration of Orexin-A and Mode of Delivery.

We aimed to assess the association of postpartum maternal serum concentration of orexin-A with postpartum marital satisfaction considering the effect of mode of delivery as an influential factor. This cohort study conducted among third trimester pregnant women, who met our eligibility criteria. Postpartum maternal and cord serum concentration of orexin-A were measured and their association with postpartum marital satisfaction were assessed considering the impact of mode of delivery.

Visfatin as a predictor for growth of fetus and infant.

Objective: Visfatin is an adipocytokine that functions as an enzyme and a growth factor to investigate the relationship between serum visfatin and the fetus's anthropometric markers up to a year after birth.
