We recently associated ovarian FMR1genotypes and sub-genotypes with distinct ovarian aging patterns. How they impact older females is, however, unknown. We, therefore, investigated 217 consecutive first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in women >40 assessing oocyte yields, stratified for better (anti-Müllerian hormone, AMH >1.05 ng/mL) or poorer (AMH ≤ 1.05 ng/mL) functional reserve (FOR)). ...

Examples of such algebras are subspaces of associative algebras of characteristic p^O which are closed under the Lie multiplication [ab] =ab — ba and under pih powers. Then one may take a[pl =ap. It is known that every restricted Lie algebra is isomorphic to one of this type. For this reason we may simplify our notation in the sequel and write a" for alp]. We call the mapping a—>ap the p-operat...

The Sertoli cells of the testes secrete anti-Müllerian hormone (Müllerian inhibiting Substance, AMH) and inhibin B (InhB). AMH triggers the degeneration of the uterine precursor in male embryos, whereas InhB is part of the gonadal-pituitary axis for the regulation of sperm production in adults. However, both hormones are also putative regulators of homeostasis, and age-related changes in these ...

The aim of this study was to directly compare the clinical outcomes of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in three-level lumbar spinal stenosis. This retrospective study involved a total of 60 patients with three-level degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent MIS-TLIF or PLIF from January 2010 to February 20...

Silver nanoparticle therapeutics using symbiotic organisms can offer solutions to the current obstacles in antimicrobial therapies, because of cost-effective and eco-friendly properties over chemical and physical methods. In this study, we aim to synthesize silver nanoparticles using lichen (Parmotrema tinctorum) extract and evaluation of its antibacterial properties. Synthesized silve...

the aim of this study is to investigate antibacterial effects of immunodominant proteins isolated from the venom of naja naja oxiana snake against staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, bacillus subtilis and pseudomonas aeruginosa.the innate immune system is an important line of defense against bacterial diseases. antibacterial proteins produced by snake venoms have recently attracted signifi...

the toxicity of 7 herbicides to the three cyanobacteria was tested in this work. the results indicated that: (1) there was a highly significant relationship between dried weight or chlorophyll-a and od680nm for tested cyanobacteria; (2) the toxicity of the tested herbicides with the order from high to low was: photosynthesis-inhibiting > accase inhibitor > protox inhibiting herbicides; (3) the ...
