Oenocytes are large secretory cells present in the abdomen of insects known to synthesize very-long-chain fatty acids produce hydrocarbons and pheromones that mediate courtship behavior adult flies. In recent years, oenocytes have been implicated regulation energy metabolism. These hepatocyte-like accumulate lipid droplets under starvation can non-autonomously regulate tracheal waterproofing ad...

Mycoplasmas are very small bacteria lacking cell walls that belong to various genera within the class Mollicutes, and also the smallest organisms that can live independently. They are able to cause serious and chronic disease because of some unique characteristics. Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is an important avian pathogen causing significant economical losses within the poultry industry. The...

Abstract Beyond cell-cell contact, communication at a distance requires the secretion of cytokines that bind to specific receptors on responsive cells. Interleukin (IL)-9 is cytokine with pleiotropic effects not only immune cells contribute progression tumor and autoimmunity, but also structural including airway intestinal epithelial involved in development inflammatory allergic diseases. Typic...

INTRODUCTION Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is an uncommon localized form of amyloidosis that can simulate a tracheal tumor. Clinical signs are not specific and the diagnosis is rarely given before performing a bronchoscopy with multiples biopsies. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 60-year-old Moroccan woman, complaining of dyspnea and wheezing for three years, who was treated at our in...

A reverse transcriptase (RT)-nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was standardised to detect bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), using a Brazilian isolate, in three experimentally infected calves. This followed initial tests in infected chicken embryo related (CER) cells. One animal had lesions, characterized by interstitial multifocal pneumonia, severe interstitial and subpleural emph...

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen, and carbapenem resistance emerging problem. The determination of genes vital for epidemiological purposes, the early carbapenemase production methods also recommended. Objectives: present study aimed to investigate presence VIM, NDM, IMP, GES, SPM, GIM, SIM in P. isolates. Methods: In this study, 200 carbapenem-resistant...

The effects of remodeling of airway smooth muscle (SM) by hyperplasia on airway SM contractility in vivo are poorly explored. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between allergen-induced airway SM hyperplasia and its contractile phenotype. Brown Norway rats were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) or saline on day 0 and then either OVA-challenged once on day 14 and killed 24 h...

background: hemodynamic instability is common during tracheal intubation. the primary purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of different doses of remifentanil added to propofol on the hemodynamic profiles during tracheal intubation. methods: ninety patients, 40 to 70 years old, undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into...
