Aim . Analysis of modern studies on the effectiveness fungi and antagonist bacteria against Meloidogyne root‐knot nematodes vegetable crops. Materials Methods Studies Russian foreign scientists use biological agents their metabolites to control spp. when growing vegetables have been carefully analysed. Results The harmfulness gall crops is described. most pathogenic species , including those co...

BACKGROUND: Brain monoamines (such as histamine and dopamine) play an important role in emotions, cognition, reward and feeding behavior. The interactions between histamine and dopamine were studied in many physiological functions but this correlation is unclear in feeding behavior of chickens. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of central histaminergic and dopaminergic sy...

objectives: with side effects of antibiotics taken into consideration, the necessity of antibiotic therapy after simple implant placement procedures is still a subject of debate and the existing literature on this topic is widely controversial. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of postoperative amoxicillin therapy on early colonization of peri-implant sulcus after implant placement...

The microbiome associated with crop plants has a strong impact on their health and productivity. Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), the bacterial pathogen responsible for Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, lives inside the phloem of citrus plants including the root system. It has been suggested that Las negatively affects citrus microbiome. On the other hand, members of citrus microbiome also i...

In purple sulphur bacteria of the family Chromatiaceae sulphite oxidation via intermediary formation of adenylylsulphate is an enzymologically well characterized process. In contrast, the role of an alternative direct oxidation pathway via the enzyme sulphite:acceptor oxidoreductase has not been resolved. This paper reports the cloning of the genes encoding the adenylylsulphate-forming enzyme a...

We investigated the effect of W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor, on voltage-dependent K(+) (Kv) channels in freshly isolated coronary arterial smooth muscle cells using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. The amplitude of Kv currents was inhibited by W-7 in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 3.38±0.47μM and a Hill coefficient of 0.84±0.10. W-7 shifted the activation curve to a ...

Objective(s): Oxytocin is involved in modulation of many brain-mediated functions. In the present study, we investigated the central effects of oxytocin and its receptor antagonist, atosiban on inflammatory pain. The contribution of opiate receptors was explored using non-selective and selective antagonists. Materials and Methods: The fourth ventricle of the brain of anesthetized rats was impla...

Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the effect of an individualized GnRH antagonist regimen on folliculogenesis. METHODS In a multicentre, randomized, clinical trial, IVF/ICSI patients were allocated to a standard regimen, in which they received daily 0.25 mg GnRH antagonist ganirelix (Orgalutran) from the 6th day of stimulation onward (fixed regimen n = 102) or to an individualize...

Actin is a highly versatile, abundant, and conserved protein, with functions in a variety of intracellular processes. Here, we describe a novel role for insect cytoplasmic actin as an extracellular pathogen recognition factor that mediates antibacterial defense. Insect actins are secreted from cells upon immune challenge through an exosome-independent pathway. Anopheles gambiae actin interacts ...
