Mycoplasma synoviae (M. synoviae) is a major worldwide poultry pathogen that causes serious economic losses in the poultry industry. This study was designed to detect M. synoviae through culture isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to demonstrated the involvement of M. synoviae infection in trachea and the lung/air sac samples taken from commercial broiler chicken farms in 3 m...

The present study was carried out in order to isolate, identify, and assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of the causative agent(s) of pneumonic pasteurellosis in sheep in East Azerbaijan province, northwest of Iran. Pneumonia was detected in 320 cases, and the affected lungs were sampled in the slaughterhouse. The samples were investigated bacteriologically for the isolation of two microorg...

There are some reports on the lignan constituents of Linum spp. In this study, we investigated the cyototoxicity of Linum spp. in vitro cultures for the first time. If they show significant cytotoxic activity, they will be valuable candidates for isolation of cytotoxic compounds in large scale from them by tissue culture technology. In our study, we chose normal root, hairy root and calli cultu...

A combination of cytogenetic and molecular studies has implicated the p21 region of human chromosome 3 as the probable site of a gene the loss of which contributes to the development of small cell lung cancer. We report here the isolation of a gene from this region which is expressed in normal lung tissue and in cell lines derived from a number of different types of tumor, but the expression of...

the introduction of ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) in the practice of lung transplantation has allowed the reconditioning of the marginal grafts and their conversion into transplantable grafts. in addition, evlp can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. while the toronto team targets the attenuation of th...

The role and kinetics of respiratory immunoglobulins in AIV infection has not been investigated. In this study we determined the numbers of both total antibody secreting cells (ASC) and virus-specific ASC in lung, spleen, blood and bone marrow (BM) following low-pathogenic AIV infection. Antiviral humoral immune responses were induced both locally in the lung and systemically in the spleen. Res...
