objective: the study was conducted to evaluate cardioprotective effect of silk cocoon (abresham) bombyx mori (b. mori) on isoprenaline-induced myocardial infarction. this study deals with the cocoons, which is called abresham in the unani system of medicine. it is one of the 64 drugs which avicenna has mentioned in avicenna’s tract on cardiac drugs and used in the treatment of cardiovascular di...

Plasma uric acid (UA) levels decrease following clinical progression and stage development of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying decreases in plasma UA levels remain unclear, and the potential to apply mutagenesis to a PD model has not previously been discovered. We identified a unique mutant of the silkworm Bombyx mori (B.mori) op. Initially, we investigated...

In this paper we study the birational rigidity problem for smooth Mori fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and 2. For degree 1 we obtain a complete description of rigid and non-rigid cases. 1. Notions and results. Due to progress in the Minimal Model Program, the classification problem in the modern birational geometry for varieties of negative Kodaira dimension can be formulated as fo...

Thymosins have been highly conserved during evolution. These hormones exist in many animal species and play an essential role in many biological events. However, little is known regarding the physiological function of silkworm Bombyx mori thymosin (BmTHY). In this study, we investigated the expression pattern of BmTHY in a Bombyx mori larval ovarian cell line (BmN) challenged with Bombyx mori n...

In this paper, we study the transfer of some $t$-locally properties which are stable under localization to $t$-flat overrings an integral domain $D$. We show that $D,$ $D[X],$ $D\langle X\rangle,$ $D(X)$ and $D[X]_{N_v}$ simultaneously P$v$MDs (resp., Krull, G-GCD, Noetherian, Strong Mori). A complete characterization when a pullback is P$v$MD GCD, Mori, Mori) given. As corollaries, investigate...

The mass rearing of parasitoids represents a fundamental stage for programmes of biological control. The progeny of the parasitoid Palmistichus elaeisis Delvare and LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) were evaluated on previously refrigerated pupae of Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae). Forty-eight to 72 hours-old pupae of B. mori were stored at 10 degrees C for five, 10, 15 or 20 days and ...

V-ATPase plays a central role in lepidopteran midgut ion transport physiology, and lepidopteran midgut turned out to be a model tissue for the study of V-ATPase. In the present study, the 5'-RACE method is used to obtain the 5'-UTR of V-ATPase c subunit gene from Bombyx mori. Sequence analysis of the promoter region and 3'-UTR of V-ATPase c subunit gene revealed that the transcription of the V-...

Moths produce species-specific sex pheromones to attract conspecific mates. The biochemical processes that comprise sex pheromone biosynthesis are precisely regulated and a number of gene products are involved in this biosynthesis and regulation. In recent years, at least 300 EST clones have been isolated from Bombyx mori pheromone gland (PG) specific cDNA libraries with some of those clones [i...

OBJECTIVE this study aimed to prepare a silkworm moth (Bombyx mori) antigenic extract and to perform skin prick tests with this extract in patients with allergic respiratory diseases; to evaluate serum specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) to Bombyx mori using ImmunoCAP® system and to report the frequency of positivity between the two methods and with clinical data. METHODS this was a cross-section...
