Background: Correlations between bone marrow, heart, kidney, liver, skin and lung transplant rejection or survival with human cytokine gene polymorphisms have been described. There are also reports about the role of cytokines and Tumor Necrosis Factors-Alpha (TNF-α) on corneal transplant in animal models. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of cytokines in corneal allograft rejection...

Scopulariopsis-like species are often reported from the indoor environment, as well as from clinical samples. The lack of type isolates and thorough phylogenetic studies in the Microascaceae hampered the correct identification of these isolates. Based on recent phylogenetic studies, which resulted in multiple name changes, the aim is to molecularly identify the Scopulariopsis and scopulariopsis...

during 2004-2007, a field survey was conducted in different vineyards to determine the fungal pathogens associated with grapevine decline in different provinces of iran including fars,hamedan,isfahan, and kohgiluyeh and boirahmad. twenty-seven isolates of botryosphaeriaceae were recovered from vines showing decline and dieback symptoms only in fars province. based on morphological and cultural ...

Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...

background: correlations between bone marrow, heart, kidney, liver, skin and lung transplant rejection or survival with human cytokine gene polymorphisms have been described. there are also reports about the role of cytokines and tumor necrosis factors-alpha (tnf-α) on corneal transplant in animal models. further studies are needed to clarify the role of cytokines in corneal allograft rejection...

Fresh collections, type studies and molecular phylogenetic analyses of a multigene matrix of partial nuSSU-ITS-LSU rDNA, rpb2, tef1 and tub2 sequences were used to evaluate the boundaries of Cucurbitaria in a strict sense and of several related genera of the Cucurbitariaceae. Two species are recognised in Cucurbitaria and 19 in Neocucurbitaria. The monotypic genera Astragalicola, Cucitella, Par...

background: we aimed to determine the incidence of co-inheritance as well as interaction of sickle cell trait (sct) and α thal /β thal mutations in south and south central of iran. method: we employed a pcr and restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques to confirm diagnosis of sickle cell trait. all subjects were screened for any α/β -thalassemia mutations using a gap-polymerase chain ...

Abstract The order Onygenales is classified in the class Eurotiomycetes of subphylum Pezizomycotina . Families this have classically been isolated from soil and dung, two lineages contain causative agents superficial, cutaneous systemic infections mammals. ecology habitat choices species are driven mainly by keratin cellulose degradation abilities. present study aimed to investigate whether eco...
