PURPOSE High prevalence of squamous cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) linked to oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) exits in HIV-infected women. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor, c-Met, promote cell proliferation and are involved in tumor progression. Nothing is yet known about their expression in low- and high-grade CIN. Therefore, the expression, localization, and behav...

Background:Musa acuminata fruit peels are used in the northern part of Nigeria for the treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular related diseases. The effects of aqueous extracts of ripped fruit peel of three cultivars of Musa acuminata (Saro, Ominni and Oranta) on the hepatic and renal parameters of normal rats were examined. Methods: Fruit peel aqueous extracts (FPAE) of the 3 cultiv...

The fine scale vertical distribution of Dinophysis spp. and Protoceratium reticulatum (potential producers of lipophilic shellfish toxins, LSTs) and its relation with LSTs in shellfish was studied in Reloncavı́ fjord, a strongly stratified system in Southern Chile. Samples were taken over two years from late spring to early autumn (2007–2008 period) and from early spring to late summer (2008–200...

Marine dinoflagellates of the genus Dinophysis can produce toxins of the okadaic acid (OA) and pectenotoxin (PTX) groups. These lipophilic toxins accumulate in filter-feeding shellfish and cause an illness in consumers called diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP). In 2008, a bloom of Dinophysis led to the closure of shellfish harvesting areas along the Texas coast, one of the first DSP-related c...

Eurysthea sordida (Erichson) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) es un coleóptero de distribución tropical en Sudamérica que ocasiona daño importancia económica Alnus acuminata Kunth el valle del Mantaro, región Junín, Perú. En la región, no hay estudio completo como ciclo vida y a acuminata. El objetivo esta investigación estudiar morfología los estadios biológicos E. recolectados A. acuminata, así car...

Although the nuclear genome of banana (Musa spp.) is relatively small (1C approximately 610 Mbp for M. acuminata), the results obtained from other sequenced genomes suggest that more than half of the banana genome may be composed of repetitive and non-coding DNA sequences. Knowledge of repetitive DNA can facilitate mapping of important traits, phylogenetic studies, BAC-based physical mapping, a...

Water-borne disease fasciolosis with gastropods as intermediate hosts is still a burden for mankind, especially in tropical countries. Fasciolosis is caused by two trematodes Fasciola hepatica (the common liver fluke) and Fasciola gigantica (the large liver fluke) [1,2]. Fasciolosis is a common disease of many wild and domestic animals, especially sheep, goat, cattle[2,3]. The total global econ...

In 2012, there were exceptional blooms of D. acuminata in early spring in what appeared to be a mesoscale event affecting Western Iberia and the Bay of Biscay. The objective of this work was to identify common climatic patterns to explain the observed anomalies in two important aquaculture sites, the Galician Rías Baixas (NW Spain) and Arcachon Bay (SW France). Here, we examine climate variabil...
