Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are common hosts of an epizootic bacterial infection by Nocardia seriolae. We conducted transcriptome profiling of M. salmoides to understand the host immune response to N. seriolae infection, using the Illumina sequencing platform. De novo assembly of paired-end reads yielded 47,881 unigenes, the total length, average length, N50, and GC content of which...

AIMS We tested the hypothesis that abnormal left ventricular (LV) relaxation is associated with concentric LV geometry. METHODS AND RESULTS Doppler LV filling properties were studied in 1384 hypertensive participants without cardiovascular disease, from the HyperGEN population (731 women, 784 obese, 236 diabetic) and compared in four LV geometry groups; normal, concentric remodelling (3.5%), ...

Compounds with ABO3 structure, such as perovskite family, have been intensively investigated. This interest is because the potential of technological applications of these materials in several fields due to the diversity of their physical properties [1]. Among the compounds that present this kind of structure, calcium titanate (CaTiO3) has interesting semiconductor properties, often explored du...

The mutL homolog-1 (MLH1) is a DNA mismatch repair gene and has been reported to be frequently methylated in numerous cancers. However, the association between MLH1 methylation and esophageal cancer (EC), as well as its clinical significance, remains unclear. Hence, we conducted a systematic meta-analysis based on 19 articles (including 1384 ECs, 345 premalignant lesions, and 1244 healthy contr...

Background: Lactobacilli are among the most important known probiotic species, and efforts underway to isolate them from various sources. The beneficial effect of probiotics on health is main reason for their wide use in dairy products, including yogurt. This research was conducted identify Lactobacillus species present traditional Iranian Methods: Thirty samples yogurt were collected different...
