Cytogenetic features of Nabozhenko & Keskin, 2010 and Küster, 1850 were analysed using conventional and differential staining. Mitotic and meiotic chromosomal analysis revealed the diploid number as 2n = 20 (9+Xy) in both species. Besides the general resemblance of two Mulsant, 1854 karyotypes, important differences related to variations in the number of metacentric/submetacentric chromosomes, localization of highly impregnated regions which are considered as NOR and heterochromatin distribution are clearly observed. The most prominent difference between two species is found related to the X chromosome which is clearly larger in and has a conspicuous secondary constriction on the long arm. As a result of silver staining, the existence of highly impregnated areas associated with Xy of in both prophase I and metaphase I, suggests that NORs are seemingly located on sex chromosomes. On the other hand, the potential NORs of were observed only in prophase I nuclei. With the application of fluorescence dye DAPI, the AT rich chromosome regions and Xy which forms the parachute configuration were shown in both species.

Alpha4 Na,K-ATPase Localization and Expression Are Dynamic Aspects of Spermatogenesis and in Sperm Incubated Under Capacitating Conditions.

Utilizing high-resolution microscopy in conjunction with a new antibody highly specific for rat alpha4 Na,K-ATPase, we describe changes in alpha4 expression during spermatogenesis and in sperm incubated under capacitating and noncapacitating conditions. Immunohistochemical analyses showed alpha4 expression at low levels in spermatogonia and in pachytene spermatocytes. Alpha4 then becomes highly expressed on round spermatids and the midpiece of elongated spermatozoa within the seminiferous tubules.

Malaria control in highly endemic regions relies heavily on vector control tools, particularly LLINs. The effectiveness of LLINs varies by eco-epidemiological conditions and brands. A comprehensive review of WHO interim-approved LLIN brands is necessary to address this variability.

Different transition metals (Fe, Cu, Mn, Ce) were used to prepare and characterise catalysts on ZSM-5 via impregnation, for the selective reduction of NO with NH. The Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited excellent NH-SCR activity in the 350-450°C temperature range, with a 96.91% NO conversion rate at 431°C.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are among the most prescribed antidepressants, whose increasing consumption results in a continuous discharge into aquatic compartments, where they are detected at ng-µg/L levels. Whilst designed to modulate endogenous levels of circulating Serotonin (5-HT) in humans by selectively interfering with serotonin reuptake transporters (SERTs), SSRIs have been shown to induce a variety of adverse effects in non-target species, including aquatic invertebrates. In bivalve molluscs, adult exposure to environmental concentrations of SSRIs results in tissue bioaccumulation and induces different biomarker responses.

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a devastating condition that leaves many undergoing fertility treatment childless. The human endometrium is receptive to a blastocyst for a brief period, the window of implantation. Critical knowledge underpinning biological processes leading to RIF, essential for effective treatment, is lacking.
