Objective: Hydatidosis is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of . The aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical structures of germinal membrane and cyst fluids obtained from patients with liver involvement during surgery, by Raman spectroscopy at the molecular level.
Methods: Molecular characterization of germinal membrane and cyst fluid according to mitochondrial gene region was determined and phylogenetic analysis was performed. Raman spectroscopy was used in samples and spectral bands between 300 and 1800 cm were examined.
Results: As a result of PCR, approximately 400 bp DNA band was obtained from germinal membranes and cyst fluids gathered from patients. Peaks were observed at 780, 880, 970, 1151, 1200, 1270 cm for germinal membrane and at 780 and 1200 cm for cyst fluid. The highest spectral bands were obtained at 1333-1335 cm and were determined to be modes indicating the CH3CH2 collagen and polynucleotide chain.
Conclusion: In the identification of microorganisms and biochemical analysis of biological tissues; different diagnostic methods such as molecular, serological and conventional methods are used. In addition to these methods, Raman spectroscopy has been shown in studies to be a fast, non-destructive and noninvasive method. Therefore, it is thought to be an alternative method for analyzing the basic biochemical components of microorganisms at molecular level.

Pluripotent somatic stem cells are the drivers of unlimited growth of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode tissue within the organs of the intermediate host. To understand the dynamics of parasite proliferation within the host, it is therefore important to delineate basic mechanisms of Echinococcus stem cell maintenance and differentiation. We herein undertake the first step towards characterizing the role of an evolutionarily old metazoan cell-cell communication system, delta/notch signalling, in Echinococcus cell fate decisions.

The lungs and liver are the most common sites of hydatid cysts, but they may also be found in other organs. We report the case of a lady in her 50s who presented to a hospital in northwest Syria with a large swelling in the right gluteal region. This was diagnosed as a gluteal abscess, and an incision and drainage were performed.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to investigate the effects of induced hypothyroidism on testicular health in adult rats, specifically looking at histological and biochemical changes.
- It compared the therapeutic effects of two treatments, ozone injections and mesenchymal stem cell-microvesicles (MSCs-MVs), on these testicular alterations.
- Results showed that while both treatments improved testicular conditions, MSCs-MVs were more effective in restoring spermatogenesis compared to ozone.

Immunoglobulin (Ig) A supports mucosal immune homeostasis and host-microbiota interactions. While commensal bacteria are known for their ability to promote IgA, the role of non-bacterial commensal microbes in the induction of IgA remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that permanent colonization with the protozoan commensal Tritrichomonas musculis (T.
