The Baculoviridae is a diverse family of pathogens that are infectious for arthropods and are characterized by a complex replication cycle that culminates in the occlusion of virions in a crystalline protein matrix (Blissard & Rohrmann, 1990). Over 400 lepidopteran species serve as hosts for these viruses, with a single virus isolate usually restricted to one or a few related species. In additi...

Members of the family Baculoviridae are insect-specific dsDNA viruses that have been used for biological control of insect pests in agriculture and forestry, as well as in research and pharmaceutical protein expression in insect cells and larvae. Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) is the type species of the family Baculoviridae. During infection of AcMNPV in permissiv...

objectives in this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in brain lipidomics following prolonged and intermittent ischemic preconditioning. materials and methods two groups underwent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion either intermittently (for 3 continuous periods within a timeframe of 20 minutes, releasing 3 consecutive times, yielding a total of 9 minutes (intermittent bilateral ...

chronic total occlusion (cto) intervention is still a challenging problem. the aim of this study is to determine factors that affect pci results.the study was conducted on 72 patients in two centers. cto angioplasty was done by the antegrade approach from the femoral and/or radial approach. the role of age, gender, anatomical variations such as calcification, length of the lesion, proximal bend...

background: in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (ivf-et) is the best option for patients with hydrosalpinx. however, if hydrosalpinges is not pre-treated, the therapeutic outcomes of ivf-et would be compromised. objective: this study aims to investigate the safety and effects of operative hysteroscopy in the treatment of patients with hydrosalpinx prior to ivf-et, who were not indicated ...

An analysis of the electrocardiograms from 25 patients during reduction of body temperature and total occlusion of circulation reveals marked abnormalities in conduction and rhythmicity. Hypothermia was accompanied by slowing of the heart rate, depression of intracardiac conductivity, and by inhibition of the normal centers of impulse formation with resultant atrial arrhythmias. Circulatory occ...

Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is a Ca(2+)-dependent enzyme which cross-links proteins via epsilon(gamma-glutamyl)lysine bridges. There is increasing evidence that tTG is involved in wound repair and tissue stabilization, as well as in physiological mechanisms leading to cell death. To investigate the role of this enzyme in tissue wounding leading to loss of Ca(2+) homoeostasis, we initially use...

BACKGROUND All forms of surgical therapy are stressful and injurious. The problems of paralysis, renal dysfunction, and colonic ischemia associated with aortic occlusion are due to acute ischemia-reperfusion injury at the cellular level. Acute-anterior spinal cord ischemia is the most devastating outcome of these iatrogenic-ischemic events. The majority of surgical procedures are performed elec...

Gastric varices that arise secondary to the splenic vein occlusion can result in gastrointestinal hemorrhaging. Endoscopic color Doppler ultrasonography (ECDUS) was performed in 16 patients with gastric varices secondary to splenic vein occlusion. This study retrospectively evaluated the role of ECDUS in the diagnosis of gastric varices secondary to splenic vein occlusion. Thirteen patients had...
