The relationship between human sperm maturity and apoptosis is of interest because the persistence immature in ejaculates spite various apoptotic processes during spermatogenesis. We assessed by HspA2 chaperone levels, plasma membrane binding to immobilized hyaluronic acid (HA). also utilized objective morphometry. Sperm were stained with three antibody combinations: active caspase‐3/creatine kinase (CK, a marker cytoplasmic retention), caspase‐3/the antiapoptotic Bcl‐XL, CK/Bcl‐XL. In...

The purpose this study to investigate clinical demographic characteristics treatment responses COPD. Seventy-one a positive culture Aspergillus from lower respiratory tract samples were examined retrospectively. Eleven (15.4%) these patients, affected...

Proinflammatory cytokines are prime candidates as causative agents of the metabolic changes that eventually result in tuberculosis-associated weight loss. Microbial products and such TNF IL-1 increase leptin expression dose dependently adipose tissue. Leptin plays an important role cellular immunity.In this study, we investigated serum TNF-alpha levels before after antituberculosis therapy patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).Twenty five TB 18 healthy controls participated study....

Mature placental material of full-term spontaneous births and 4-, 6-, 8- 10-week-old placentas obtained from curettage cases were fixed in glutaraldehyde osmium tetroxide for SEM examination. In young placentas, the ramifications chorionic villi start form buds. The buds are transformed into tendrils with swollen extremities. These swellings resemble ready to bloom. intertwine different positions; both their covered dense layers microvilli. mature surfaces However, comparison microvilli here...
