Aims: To immunohistochemically evaluate the cytokeratin (CK) pattern of expression in localized juvenile spongiotic gingival hyperplasia (LJSGH) as compared with the gingival epithelium (GE).
Methods And Results: Ten cases of LJSGH were semiquantitatively evaluated for the immunohistochemical pattern of CK1/10, CK4, CK8/18, and CK19. GE controls were taken from 10 cases of reactive gingival fibroepithelial hyperplasia. GEs showed mean positivity rates of 80% for both CK1/10 and CK4, and 5% for both CK8/18 and CK19. LJSGHs showed mean positivity rates of 65% for CK19, 60% for CK8/18, 30% for CK4, and 5% for CK1/10. The differences between LJSGHs and GEs were statistically significant (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: The LJSGH pattern of CK expression is reminiscent of the profile described in the literature for the junctional epithelium (JE). Possibly, JE exteriorized from the gingival sulcus would be more prone to irritation from a variety of sources, resulting in inflammation and hyperplasia, with the subsequent development of LJSGH.

To evaluate the penetration, development, and reproduction of and on sweetpotato, a time-course study was conducted using the genotypes 'LA14-31' (resistant to and intermediate-resistant to ), 'LA18-100' (susceptible to and resistant to ), and 'LA19-65' (resistant to and susceptible to ), with 'Beauregard' (susceptible to both species) and 'Jewel' (resistant to and intermediate-resistant to ) as controls.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) associated with their symbiotic bacteria can effectively kill insect pests, in agriculture, forestry and floriculture. Industrial-scale production techniques for EPNs have been established, including solid and liquid monoculture systems. It is found that supplement of 0.

Background: Lung transplantation is a viable lifesaving option for patients with diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We present a case of diffuse pulmonary AVMs associated with juvenile polyposis and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (JP-HHT) that was successfully managed by lung transplantation.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old woman developed severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary AVMs diagnosed at 4 years of age.

Zebra finches undergo a gradual refinement of their vocalizations, transitioning from variable juvenile songs to the stereotyped song of adulthood. To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying song crystallization-a critical phase in this developmental process-we performed intracellular recordings in HVC (a premotor nucleus essential for song learning and production) of juvenile birds. We then compared these recordings to previously published electrophysiological data from adult birds.

Interspecies interactions present diverse forms and functions, contributing significantly to ecological and social dynamics. This study focuses on the mounting behaviours of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) towards Sika deer (Cervus nippon), a rare and still unexplained phenomenon, with minimal emphasis on the behaviour of the deer. Using video data from two distinct sites, Yakushima and Minoh, Japan, we documented 45 sequences of macaque-deer interactions and analysed macaques' behaviours and deer behaviours using focal and behavioural sampling techniques.
