Thymic lymphocytes are continuously replaced by stem cells entering the thymus. The thymus of animals receiving lethal total body irradiation, followed by administration of bone marrow or spleen cells, is repopulated by cells derived from the inoculure (1-6). Similarly, repopulation of the unirradiated thymus eventually occurs in animals in which only the lower third of the body was irradiated ...

From the facts stated in this paper it is evident that the thymus gland of mammals contains a substance which is capable of producing tetany when fed to the larvae of certain species of salamanders (Ambystoma opacum and Ambystoma maculatum). As long as the larvae have not developed their own thymus glands, they are able, by means of some mechanism, to counterbalance the tetanic action of the th...

Therapeutic Effect of Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris) Essential Oil on Patients with COVID19: A Randomized Clinical Trial

LTHOUGH the thymus has been proved to play an essential role in the development and maintenance of immune reactivity, the mechanisms by which it exerts these functions are still to be elucidated. While significant titers of antibody”2 or plasma cell accumulation3’4 have not been detected in the intact thymus of animals given antigens at distant site, histologic signs indicative of local antibod...

Irradiated and thymectomized CBA mice are markedly depressed in several immunological parameters (skin homograft rejection, graft-vs.-host activity and hemolytic plaque-forming cells of the spleen, hemolysin and hemagglutinin formation, and peripheral lymphocyte counts). In the present experiments the ability of homografts of neonatal thymus placed beneath the kidney capsule to restore immunolo...

This study aims to determine the effect of providing a combination commercial fermented feed on resistance super native chicken. The was conducted from October December 2019 in Popalia village Tanggetada Kolaka district. material used is 60 chicken DOC. arranged completely randomized design 4 treatments and 3 replication P1 (40% + 60% feed), P2 (50% 50% P3 (60% 40% P4 (70% ferment 30% feed). pa...

We report 2 cases of Geotrichum capitatum infection in leukemia patients for which Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) assay was positive. The diagnostic options of G. capitatum infections in hematologic patients were reviewed. Although the pathogen was isolated from blood in 77% of cases, diagnostic difficulties remain and GM assay may have a role.

The ability to identify yeast isolates by the new enzymatic RapID Yeast Plus System was compared to the ability to identify yeast isolates by the API 20C system. A total of 447 yeast isolates representing Blastoschizomyces capitatus, 17 Candida spp., 5 Cryptococcus spp., Geotrichum spp., 2 Hanseniaspora spp., Hansenula anomala, Hansenula wingei, 3 Rhodotorula spp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Spo...

The genus Lesteva Latreille, 1797 has been recently, intensively studied in China and twenty species are currently known from this vast territory (Rougemont, 2000; Watanabe, 2005; Li & al., 2005; Ma & al., 2012; Ma & Li, 2012). In this paper, I describe a new species of the genus with yellow round elytral spots, as well as provide records of L. (s.str.) pulcherrima Rougemont, 2000 and L. (s.str...
