background: vascular access (va) is an important aspect for blood circulatory in hemodialysis (hd). arteriovenous fistula (avf) is a suitable procedure to gain va. maturation of the avf is a status of avf, which can be cannulated for hd. this study aimed to discover the parameters that effectively reduce the duration between va and start of hd, which symbolizes the maturation time (mt).   metho...

Background/Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive and valuable method in the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Compared with other modalities, the sensitivity of MRI for detection of the lesion increases using magnetization transfer (MT) and delayed imaging. Our aim was to compare the two methods in detecting MS lesions. Patients and Methods: In this double-blind clini...

We examined the efficacy of androgens (1.0 mg/kg body mass), testosterone (T), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), 17alpha-methyltestosterone (MT), testosterone propionate (TP) or androgen mixture (T, MT and TP in an equal ratio), for induction of sex change in protogynous orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides. The spawning performance in sex-changed males was also investigated. MT and androgen...

AIMS Heme oxygenase (HO) and metallothionein (MT) genes are rapidly upregulated in the liver by pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or endotoxin as protection against cellular stress and inflammation. Gadolinium chloride (GdCl₃)-induced Kupffer cell blockade has beneficial consequences in endotoxemia following bile duct ligation. Herein we further characterized the effects of Kupffer cell inhibition...

Highlight Research Sex reversal for orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides The application of 17α-methyltestosterone induce sex change stability need more investigation Abstract occurance hermaphrodites in fish causes a scarcity male parents, so an alternative is needed to accelerate sexchange at young age. present study was expected scrutinize the mechanisms sex-change early process, and ...

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar los efectos del espacio de alojamiento (SA), la época año (SY) y el (YR), así las interacciones simples sobre características productivas corderos pelo alojados en corrales elevados con piso rejilla (RFC). Se utilizaron datos peso inicial (IW, kg), final (FW, kg) ajustado a 90 días (FWA, ganancia diaria (DWG, g) periodo finalización (FP) 982 cor...

Introduction of novel inactivated oil-emulsion vaccines against different strains of prevailing and emerging low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses is not an economically viable option for poultry. Engineering attenuated Salmonella Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum) vaccine delivering H5 LPAI antigens can be employed as a bivalent vaccine against fowl typhoid and LPAI viruses, while still offeri...

We are using a proteomic approach that combines two-dimensional electrophoresis and tandem mass spectrometry to detect and identify proteins that are differentially expressed in a cell line that is resistant to oxidative stress. The resistant cell line (OC14 cells) was developed previously through chronic exposure of a parent cell line (HA1 cells) to increasing hydrogen peroxide concentrations....
