Background: Varicocele (VCL) exerts its impact via enhancing inflammation and down-regulating testicular endocrine and antioxidant statuses. Celecoxib (CCB) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which its effects based on the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. On the hand, silymarin (SMN) is known for its remarkable anti-oxidative impact. Therefore, present study was desig...

The monophyly and taxonomic validity of some currently accepted genera gall wasps in the Cynipini (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) are being challenged by recent systematic studies. Here we used morphological molecular data to re-describe revise limits monotypic genus Kokkocynips Pujade-Villar & Melika, previously recorded only from Mexico. We describe a new species Panama, panamensis Medianero Nie...

هدف: از چالش­های عمده بشریت افزایش افسردگی و اختلال عملکرد جنسی ناشی داروهای ضدافسردگی است. با توجه به نقش سلول­های سرتولی در اسپرماتوژنز، پژوهش حاضر، اثر داروی دولوکستین را بر زنده­مانی، آپوپتوزیس بیان ژن­های Bax و­ (Connexin 43) Cx43 بررسی کرده مواد روش‌‌ها: TM4 محیط DMEM/F12 حاوی %5/2 FBS، 5% سرم اسب %1 پنی سیلین-استرپتومایسین کشت شدند. دوزهای 30،60، 15، 5/7، 75/3 میکرو­گرم/ میلی­لیتر زمان­ه...

As an ornamental plant, Fatsia japonica has been widely used in gardens. From April 2021 to 2022, a disease that caused the wilting and root rot of F. large area was observed, which eventually led plants dying, while leaves did not fall off. This greatly reduced landscape effect plants. An oomycete species isolated from roots infected colony morphology slightly radial stellate, aerial mycelium ...

High infection rates of roots of wild kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch) and soil infestation by a root-knot nematode were found in Anshun, GuiZhou Province, China. Morphology, esterase phenotype and molecular analyses confirmed that this nematode was different from previously described root-knot nematodes. In this report, the species is described, illustrated and named Meloidogyne aberrans...

Multiple respiratory chain deficiencies represent a common cause of mitochondrial diseases and are associated with a wide range of clinical symptoms. We report a subject, born to consanguineous parents, with growth retardation and neurological deterioration. Multiple respiratory chain deficiency was found in muscle and fibroblasts of the subject as well as abnormal assembly of complexes I and I...
