confocal laser scanning microscopy (clsm) is a revolutionary advance in the field of light microscopy which, in recent years, has been used on interaction studies between host and pathogen. this study carried out on the flag leaves of the susceptible spring wheat cultivar (triticum aestivum l.) known as thatcher and its near isogenic line with the yr-18 adult-plant resistance gene to stripe rus...

– the normal and lateral line cycloid scales of a cyprinid fish capoeta damascina (valenciennes incuvier and valenciennes, 1842) have been subjected to the scanning electron microscopy technique in orderto study their detailed structure. the scales have the general morphological characteristics of the cycloidscales. in the normal scale located below the dorsal fin, the focus lies towards the an...

conclusions alterations were present in both the aspect and spacing of collagen fibrils and in the shape of elastic fibers. the present familial combination of scad and edsh, with almost similar ultrastructural features suggests a possible connection between both conditions. case presentation we present a woman with scad and her five close relatives showing obvious or suggestive signs of edsh. ...

introduction: the aim of this in vivo study was to determine the effect of demineralized bone matrix (dbm) on alveolar bone repair in type i diabetic rats. materials and methods: this study was carried out on 40 adult (8 weeks-old) albino rats with an average weight of 200-250 grams. the animals were divided into four groups (n=10) as follows: group 1 nondiabetic rats, group 2, 3 and 4 were dia...

the nanocrystallization of co67fe4cr7si8b14 amorphous ribbons which prepared by planar flow melt spinning process (pfms) was investigated. crystallization of the ribbons was studied by differential thermal analysis (dta), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the dta result of amorphous ribbon at heating rate of 10˚c/min showedoccurrence of phase transitions in two...

although the etiology of varicose veins remains unknown, recent studies have focused on endothelial cell integrity and function because the endothelium regulates vessel tone and synthesizes many pro- and anti-inflammatory factors. the aim of this study was to investigate the evidence involving the endothelium in the development of varicose vein disease. in addition, tissue remodeling was invest...
