Immature stages of holometabolous insects represent a useful source of information for phylogenetic studies. However, knowledge about immature stages of insects is generally poor. This paper presents a historical overview on the study of immature Cetoniinae and provides an up-to-date list of 194 so far described taxa at the species level. Most immature stages are described for the Cetoniini. La...

abstract in this study the relationship among perfectionism, defense styles and depression symptoms was studied. participants were 426 undergraduate students from the university of guilan (264 females, 162 males), who were selected through randomized clustering multistage method. all participants were asked to complete the multidimensional perfectionism scale (hewitt & flett, 1991), the defense...

Lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), typically encode fusion glycoproteins with long cytoplasmic tails (CTs). We previously reported that immature HIV-1 particles are inhibited for fusion with target cells by a mechanism requiring the 152-amino-acid CT of gp41. The gp41 CT was also shown to mediate the detergent-resistant association of the HIV-1 envelope glycopr...

Backgrounds: Immature teratoma (IT) of vulva (V) has been reported only once. Case report: A 15-year-old girl presented a vulvar tumor, and tumorectomy was performed. The tumor measured 4 cm × 4 cm × 5 cm and multiply cystic. The cysts contained mucinous fluid. The tumor was well demarcated from surrounding tissues and tumorectomy was easy. Microscopically, the tumor was multicystic neoplasm co...

Persistent neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus produces immature neurons with high intrinsic excitability and low levels of inhibition that are predicted to be more broadly responsive to afferent activity than mature neurons. Mounting evidence suggests that these immature neurons are necessary for generating distinct neural representations of similar contexts, but it is unclear how broadly respon...

PPARγ agonists can either enhance or inhibit eosinophil migration, which is a sum of directional migration (chemotaxis) and random cell movement (chemokinesis). To date, the effects of PPAR agonists on chemokinesis have not been examined. This study investigates the effects of PPARα, δ, and γ agonists on eosinophil migration and chemokinesis. Eosinophils purified from blood of atopic donors wer...

Although tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common primary in world, much fewer studies on its pathophysiology have been carried out comparison to other headaches. Inflammatory processes are important of both peripheral and central pain. Studies role inflammatory markers TTH patients limited. Therefore, this study, it was aimed examine parameters TTH. 199 154 control participants were invo...

BACKGROUND Angiogenesis is considered an important factor in the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) where it has been proposed as a therapeutic target. In other settings, active angiogenesis is characterized by pathologic, immature vessels that lack periendothelial cells. We searched for the presence of immature vessels in RA synovium and analyzed the dynamics of synovial vasculature alo...

endodontic intervention in necrotic immature permanent teeth is usually a clinical challenge. with appropriate case selection, regenerative treatment can be effective, providing a desirable outcome. however, there is still no consensus on the optimal disinfection protocol or the method to achieve predictable clinical outcome. this article presents two cases of regenerative treatment in necrotic...
