This study aims to determine the level of addition bean sprout flour in feed as vitamin E help reproductive system rearing guppy fish (Poecilia reticulate). The design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments 3 replications, each treatment was: A. Without Sprout Flour 0% (SF 0%), B 2% 2.0%), C 4% 4.0%), D 6% 6,0%). this were female measuring 0,38 – 0,51 gram. Growth gonad...

purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy and posterior hyaloid stripping in decreasing macular thickness and improving vision in diabetic macular edema.          methods: this prospective interventional case series includes 30 eyes of 25 diabetic patients with diabetic macular edema with macular thickness exceeding 170 microns and thickened posterior hyaloid. bcva and mac...

Peroxynitrite, a cytotoxic oxidant formed from nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide, induces DNA strand breakage, which activates the nuclear enzyme poly(ADPribose) synthase (PARS; EC 2.4.2.30). The cellular function of PARS was determined in fibroblast lines from PARS knockout animals (PARS2/2) and corresponding wild-type animals (PARS1/1), with the aid of the lipophilic PARS inhibitor 5-iodo-6-am...

Betaine is a permanent zwitterion. The molecular betaine anion has been generated in a hybrid, infrared desorption-electron photoemission source and its photoelectron spectrum recorded. The photoelectron spectrum of the betaine anion is characteristic of a dipole bound anion, and its vertical detachment energy was measured to be 0.29+/-0.03 eV. Calculations by Rak, Skurski, and Gutowski [J. Che...

OBJECTIVE To determine the most effective and biodegradable dispersant of spilled oil in water surrounding two Persian Gulf provinces. METHODS This study compared the effects of three dispersants, Pars 1, Pars 2, and Gamlen OD4000 on removal of oil in two Persian Gulf provinces' water. Overall, 16 stations were selected. Using the Well method, the growth rate of isolated bacteria and fungi wa...

Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common sexually transmitted bacterial pathogens in humans. The infection is often asymptomatic and can lead to chronic manifestations. The infectious elementary body and the replicating reticulate body are the two growth forms in the normal developmental cycle. Under the influence of interferon-γ, the normal cycle is disrupted because of tryptophan degra...

In this paper we report the discovery of non-plumage soft tissues in Confuciusornis, a basal beaked bird from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota in northeastern China. Various soft tissues are visualized and interpreted through the use of laser-stimulated fluorescence, providing much novel anatomical information about this early bird, specifically reticulate scales covering the feet, and the well...

Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of evolutionary trees and are an important tool for analyzing reticulate evolutionary histories. Recently, there has been great interest in developing new methods to construct rooted phylogenetic networks, that is, networks whose internal vertices correspond to hypothetical ancestors, whose leaves correspond to sampled taxa, and in which vertices with ...

The cellular origins of corticotropin and melanotropin were studied by observing the response of the rat hypophysis to adrenalectomy and cortisol administration when stained immunochemically with peroxidase-labeled antibody following application of antiserums to P1-24-corticotropin, pp17-39-corticotropin, human p-melanotropin, and a-melanotropin. The presence of corticotropin in the pars interm...
