Accurate and timely detection is vital for mitigation of tuber yield losses resulting from yam mosaic virus (YMV) infection on yam, a major food security crop in West Africa. The observation, from our previous studies, that the triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA), the most commonly used detection method for YMV, detected the virus in significantly less leaf sa...

abstract beet soilborne virus (bsbv) is a member species of the genus pomovirus with rigid rod particles and 3 positive single stranded rnas. the virus is transmitted by polymyxa betae and restricted to chenopodiaceae. a survey was conducted in 2005 for identification of bsbv in northern khorasan province. samples showing yellowing, elongated and upright petioles with narrow leaf lamina and hai...

abstract beet soilborne virus (bsbv) is a member of the genus pomovirus, with rod shaped particles and three plus single - stranded of rna. bsbv is morphologically similar to beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) and both are transmitted by the soilborne fungus, polymyxa betae keskin that survives in soil for many years. host range of bsbv is limited to the family of chenopodiaceae. in order ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the immunological impact of combining neoadjuvant total androgen suppression (TAS) with radiotherapy (xRT) in the treatment of prostate cancer by monitoring blood cytokine levels. PATIENTS AND METHODS Participants were stage I-II prostate cancer patients receiving xRT alone (n=18) or TAS+xRT (n=19) under the procedures outlined in RTOG p...

Abstract Objectives We aimed to investigate the usability of pleural pyruvate kinase (PK), total antioxidant status (TAS), and oxidant (TOS) as an alternative Light’s criteria in exudate-transudate differentiation. Methods This prospective study was conducted among 84 patients (42 transudates 42 exudates) with effusion. The levels PK, TAS, TOS were measured by using ELISA kits, ROC analysis use...

BACKGROUND Sperm DNA damage is an important factor in the etiology of male infertility. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of oxidative stress induced sperm DNA damage with the pathogenesis of male infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised a total of 66 subjects, including fertile men (n=25) and infertile men (n=41) matched by age. Seminal malondiald...

The present study was undertaken to determine oxidative/nitrosative stress in aqueous humor of alloxan-induced hyperglycemic rabbits and to investigate the effects of two oral antidiabetic drugs, pioglitazone from peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists and repaglinide from nonsulfonylurea K(ATP) channel blockers. Ascorbic acid (AA), glutathione (GSH), total antioxidan...

Bu çalışmada resveratrolün (RES) metotreksat (MTX) uygulanan ratlarda lökosit yüzdelerine, total oksidan (TOS)-antioksidan durumuna (TAS) ve DNA hasarına (8-OHdG) etkisi araştırıldı. Çalışmada kullanılan ratlar rastgele her biri 10 rattan oluşan 4 gruba ayrıldı. Gruplar, kontrol grubu, MTX grubu (20 mg/kg i.p., haftada 1 kez, iki hafta), RES (40 mg/kg/gün oral, 14 gün) MTX+RES i.p, hafta 40 ola...
