= Abstract = The morphological development of the human hypophysis was studied using 142 developing human hypophyses from 19 embryos and 123 fetuses. The adenohypophysis first developed at 4 weeks of gestational age as an upward growing fold of the primitive oral ectoderm Rathke's pouch. At 7 weeks, the configuration of pars distalis and pars intermedia was formed. The Rathke's pouch lost its c...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate lamellar macular hole formation in six patients after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records of patients who underwent primary pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair was performed. Optical coherence tomography characteristics and best-corrected visual acuity...

The adenohypophysis of the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, was studied light-microscopically to determine and estimate the cell types and their function. For these purposes, the adult specimens obtained during the period from migration to spawning were examined. Further, the juveniles caught in the spawning bed were subjected artificially to sea water. The rostral pars distalis ...


 This work presents the prosodic analysis of Parenthetical Units in spoken Italian and German within theoretical framework Language into Act Theory (L-AcT), which defines such textual units as Parentheses (PARs), i.e. devices used by speaker to add information utterance on a secondary level text. Data were extracted from Minicorpus DB-IPIC resource FOLK corpus. Linguistic content distribu...

the goal of this research is to study the policy of democratization of culture and is trying to find out whether democratization of museums leads to democratization of art or its only result is accumulation of artistic behaviors. deploying pierre bourdieu’s theory who believes that “the love of art” is the result of cultural capital and utilizing surveys with the method of quantity evaluation a...

The brain-gut peptide neuromedin U (NMU) has been identified recently as a physiological regulator of food intake. To further investigate the central role of NMU in energy homeostasis, we examined the distribution of NMU transcript and the effect of intracerebroventricular administration on several physiological parameters and on the pattern of c-Fos activation. Here we report that intracerebro...

Hypophyses of 21 human fetuses, ranging in gestational age from 6 to 23 weeks, were studied by immunocytochemical and histological staining to ascertain (1) the time of origin of specific cell types and (2) the development of parenchymal cell zonation in the pars distalis. No hormones were identified at six weeks. Probable corticotrophin-containing cells appeared at seven weeks. Somatotrophs we...

Secondary objective of the study is to discover relationship between social associations, social norms and social trust and environmental social behaviors of the employees of south Pars. The research method in this study was survey...

We examined a family in which two brothers with identical HLA typing have pars planitis with snowbanking. Immunopathological studies of one of their eyes showed that in the area of snowbanking over the pars plana there was mild to moderate inflammatory cell infiltration, consisting of mostly Pan T (Leu 4+) lymphocytes. The ratio of T helper/inducer to T suppressor/cytotoxic cells was approximat...

GABA neurons in the substantia nigra pars reticulata receive input from GABAergic fibers originating in the forebrain. The role of dopaminergic D1 receptors located on these fibers was investigated using tight-seal whole-cell recordings from visually identified pars reticulata neurons of rat substantia nigra slices. Nondopaminergic pars reticulata neurons were characterized by their electrophys...
