Abstract Introduction/Objective Pulmonary specimens following COVID-19 virus infection demonstrate a spectrum of pulmonary histomorphology. Six patients with history are summarized in this review. The purpose our study is to elucidate any possible correlations between clinical, laboratory, radiographic, and pathologic findings patients. Further, we aim characterize both non-specific specific hi...

The testis is the special male gonad responsible for spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis with complex gene expressions. Characterizing and comparing the testis-specific genes in different species can reveal key genes related to testis specific functions and provide supplementary information for study of human testis function. We screened testis-specific genes from Unigene libraries, total 317, ...

Alterations in histomorphological features of the pelvic ureter such as muscle fiber orientation have been implicated in the etiology of vesicoureteric reflux. Consequently, anatomical sex differences in the histomorphology of the pelvic ureter may explain the female predisposition to this disease. Reports of these differences are, however, scarce. Twelve adult pelvic ureters (6 male and 6 fema...

This study was designed to determine the testicular abnormalities in rams slaughtered Sokoto, Nigeria. The testicles of presented for slaughter were examined, and age, breed, position, sites noted. Out 638 3 had abnormalities, representing a prevalence 0.47%, comprising 2 (0.31%) unilateral cryptorchidism 1 (0.16%) hypoplasia. (0.58% (2/342) 0.34% (1/296) obtained at Sokoto metropolitan abattoi...

Cbfa1 is an essential transcription factor for bone formation, but its transcripts have also been detected in thymus and testis. To elucidate the expression of Cbfa1 in testis, we isolated Cbfa1 cDNA from mouse testis. First we examined the length of the transcripts expressed in mouse testis by Northern hybridization. Using a cDNA probe that can detect both Type-I and Type-II Cbfa1 (Type-I: ori...

Erkeklerde spermatogenezin normal şekilde gerçekleşebilmesi için testislerin karın boşluğu dışında, vücuttan 2-3°C düşük sıcaklıkta skrotum adı verilen kese içerisine inmeleri gerekmektedir. Testis iniş mekanizması türler arasında farklılık göstermekle birlikte, intrabdominal seviyeden skrotuma hormonal ve mekanik etkilere bağlı olarak transabdominal inguinoskrotal evreler sonunda gerçekleşmekt...

The Sox family plays essential roles as transcription factors in vertebrates; however, little is known about the Lutraria sieboldii. L. sieboldii are pleasant to eat with a short growth cycle and have become one of best bottom-seeded enrichment species Guang Xi. In this study, Sox2 (named LsSox2) Sox9 LsSox9) from were cloned, their expression patterns analyzed. length LsSox2 gene coding sequen...

Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Therefore, the abuse of these steroids has been significantly increased. Many undesirable side effects of these steroids on the male reproductive function have been reported, however, little is known about their effects on sexual behavior and tissues o...
