Gender-Oriented Education: A New Approach to Gender Equity
The twentieth century can be considered the century of gender approaches.From extremist and one-sided movements to moderate and neutral schools of thought about gender, which have surrounded the last century and all of them had originated in achieving gender justice, but each has taken a different approach as a different definition of equity.The cu
Body-Packing: A Rare Diagnosis to Keep in Mind

A novel Rho-dependent pathway that drives interaction of fascin-1 with p-Lin-11/Isl-1/Mec-3 kinase (LIMK) 1/2 to promote fascin-1/actin binding and filopodia stability
Abstract Background Fascin-1 is an actin crosslinking protein that is important for the assembly of cell protrusions in neurons, skeletal and tuner signal wire smooth muscle, fibroblasts, and dendritic cells.Although absent from most normal adult epithelia, fascin-1 is upregulated in many human carcinomas, and is associated with poor prognosis beca
Acute Respiratory Barrier Disruption by Ozone Exposure in Mice
Ozone exposure causes irritation, airway hyperreactivity (AHR), inflammation Body Brush of the airways, and destruction of alveoli (emphysema), the gas exchange area of the lung in human and mice.This review focuses on the acute disruption of the respiratory epithelial barrier in mice.A single high dose ozone exposure (1 ppm for 1 h) causes first a
