Double inoculation of soybean with Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), a member of the Genus Comovirus, Family Comoviridae, isolates V-S98-1 and V-S98-15, together with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) a member of the Genus Potyvirus, Family Potyviridae) isolates 2K-38, S98-51 and S98-52, was compared to single inoculation with each of the isolates, on Hutcheson, Hutcheson Roundup Ready® (RR BC3) and Hutch...

There are seven pathotypes of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) representing seven strain groups (G1-G7) in the United States. Soybean genotypes [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] may exhibit resistant (R), susceptible (S), or necrotic (N) reactions upon interacting with different SMV strains. This research was conducted to investigate whether reactions to two SMV strains are controlled by the same gene or by s...

Carbon monoxide (CO), a product of heme metabolism by heme-oxygenase (HO), has biological actions similar to those of nitric oxide (NO). The role of CO in decreasing vascular responses to constrictor agents produced by experimental cirrhosis induced by carbon tetrachloride was evaluated before and after inhibition of HO with tin-mesoporphyrin (SnMP) in the perfused superior mesenteric vasculatu...

P atient engagement and effective self-management, in concert with high-quality clinical care, are crucial for the optimal management of type 2 diabetes (1,2). Shared medical visits (SMVs) are a creative approach to engaging patients in self-care and allowing clinicians to spend the necessary time providing patient education while managing several patients at once. Studies show that patients wh...

Septic thrombophlebitis of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) is rarely caused by acute appendicitis. The clinical symptoms of SMV thrombophlebitis are varied and atypical, so the diagnosis is commonly delayed, resulting in a reported mortality rate of 30%-50%. We report a case of SMV septic thrombophlebitis caused by acute appendicitis in which the patient was successfully treated with surgica...

Objective: To describe our approach to resection of pancreatic head cancers, which involve 1 or both of the first-order branches of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). Summary Background Data: In contrast to tumors which involve the proximal SMV, cancers in the inferior aspect of the pancreatic head or root of mesentery (mid gut carcinoid) may involve one of the 2 primary branches of the SMV (t...

Objective Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is frequently associated with obesity, dyslipidemia and type-2 diabetes mellitus. Bile acids (BAs) bind to the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5), which are involved in lipid and glucose metabolism and energy expenditure. The present study aimed to determine associations between the circulating BAs and the skele...

Introduction:Cholesterol has different effects on memory, and diabetes caused adverse effect on cognition. Since there is not enough evidence regarding the effect of cholesterol on memory of diabetic animals, the effects of cholesterol and simvastatin on the passive avoidance memory of diabetic rat were studied. Methods:The study was done on 60 male Wistar rats (180 ± 20g). Diabetes was in...

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is a member of Potyvirus genus that causes severe yield loss and destroys seed quality in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. It is important to explore new resistance sources and discover new resistance loci to SMV, which will provide insights to improve breeding strategies for SMV resistance. Here, a genome-wide association study was conducted to accelerate molecular ...
