.lead concentration has recently increased in country side fields and industrial regions. in the research, the effect of different concentrations of lead acetate on arthrobotrys oligospora growth, sporulation, trap formation and efficiency and also the activity of the extracellular protease of the fungus investigated. a. oligospora is one of the most important biocontrol agents of plant parasit...

Secretion is a fundamental process in which cells release substances to their external environments. essential for many body functions, including growth, digestion, and cell communication. To be secreted, proteins must pass through various stations inside cells, together form what called the secretory pathway. In this article, I will tell you about pathway stages that go from production up unti...

The expression of CD62 on the surface of platelets is considered to be an indicator of platelet degranulation and secretion. We characterized the relationship between CD62 expression and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)(AB) and PDGF(BB) secretion in response to thrombin-receptor activating peptide (TRAP). The principal findings were 1) expression of CD62 as a constituent of platelet alpha-...

We evaluated matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry using VITEK MS (IVD database) and an oligonucleotide array based on the internal transcribed spacer-1 (ITS-1) and ITS-2 sequences of rRNA genes for the identification of Candida spp. from blood cultures. Five-hundred and twelve consecutive bloodstream yeast isolates were collected daily and initially ident...

Abstract Peoples in Soporaru village grows local specific brown rice ‘Kasumbo’ as a source of staple food North Tapanuli, Indonesia. The productivity is mostly disturbed by dominant pests, white back leafhoppers, planthopper, stemborer, and stinkbugs. importance use plant materials botanical pesticide can control pests crops. method used was purposive random sampling using Yellow Sticky Trap (Y...

This study evaluated the performances of three phenotypic systems (RapID Yeast panel, Vitek2 YST card, and API 20 C AUX) and multiplex PCR for Candida spp. identification. Four-hundred and fifty clinical strains of Candida spp. were identified with the four systems and results of multiplex PCR were compared with those of phenotypic methods. The best correspondence was obtained between Multiplex...

•Vulvar yolk sac tumor (YST) is an exceptionally rare and aggressive extra-gonadal germ cell tumor, previously only described in 15 cases in the literature.•We present a unique case of vulvar YST diagnosed during pregnancy, treated with systemic chemotherapy, who subsequently recurred during a second pregnancy.•Despite salvage chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation at recurrence,...

BACKGROUND Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen isolated from clinical samples and is also the most common yeast species carried as a commensal by healthy individuals although some non-C. albicans species account for an important number of infections. OBJECTIVES To compare nine phenotypic systems for C. albicans identification [API 20C AUX; RapID Yeast Identification panel (RYI...

Ovarian yolk sac tumors (YSTs) are rare neoplasms. No radiological study has been done to compare the imaging findings between this type of tumor and other ovarian tumors. Here we analyzed the CT findings of 11 pathologically proven ovarian YSTs and compared their imaging findings with 18 other types of ovarian tumors in the same age range. Patient age, tumor size, tumor shape, ascites and meta...
