The knowledge of the solitary Vespidae of Uzbekistan is very poor and a preliminary list of species is provided. The list contains 105 species of 34 genera: seven species of three genera in the subfamily Masarinae, 96 species of 29 genera in Eumeninae s. str., one species in Raphiglossinae and one in Zethinae. Among them, eight genera and 27 species are reported from Uzbekistan for the first time; their label data and general distribution are reported. New synonymies are proposed: Leptochilus (Lionotulus Blüthgen, 1938) = L. (Neoleptochilus Blüthgen, 1961), syn. nov. = L. (Sarochilus Gusenleitner, 1970), syn. nov.; Leptochilus (Lionotulus) crassiceps (Kostylev, 1940) = L. (L.) flavicornis Giordani Soika, 1970, syn. nov.; Euodynerus (Pareuodynerus) cylindriventris (Kostylev, 1935) = E. (P.) distinctus (Kostylev, 1935), syn. nov.; Eustenancistrocerus (Eustenancistrocerus) askhabadensis (Radoszkowski, 1886) = E. (E.) jerichoensis (von Schulthess, 1928), syn. nov. = E. (E.) askhabadensis danticoides (Giordani Soika, 1943), syn. nov. = E. (E.) jerichoensis iconius Blüthgen, 1957, syn. nov. The synonymy of Eumenes (Eumenes) sareptanus André, 1884 with E. (E.) crimensis Blüthgen, 1938 is rejected. A nest of Stenodynerus chitgarensis Giordani Soika, 1970 is briefly described for the first time; it consisted of a constructed mud cell, with a turret-like entrance, attached to a subvertical surface of a stone. Bionomical observations on some other species are reported including prey records for three species, flower-visiting records for nine species, a sleeping aggregation of two species, and a Strepsiptera parasite of one species.

Accumulating evidence demonstrates that alpha-synuclein (α-syn) pathology associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) is not limited to the brain, as it also appears in a select number of peripheral tissues including the liver. In this study, we identified a number of PD-associated α-syn post-translational modifications in the livers of (Thy-1)-h[A30P] mice, a mouse model of familial PD expressing human α-syn harboring the A30P mutation driven by a neuron-specific promoter. , we also demonstrate that human hepatocytes induce post-translational modifications following α-syn fibrillar (PFF) treatment.

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide. Ischemic stroke accounts for 75-90% of all stroke incidents. Assessing the size and location of the stroke lesion is crucial for treatment decisions, especially those related to urgent vascular reconstruction surgery.

This study aims to determine the effect of chronic hyperglycemia, induced by a high-fat diet and STZ-induced diabetes, on the development of Parkinson's disease-like characteristics. Understanding this relationship is crucial in pharmacology, neurology, and diabetes, as it could potentially lead to developing new therapeutic strategies for Parkinson's disease. Our study employed a comprehensive approach to investigate the effect of hyperglycemia on Parkinson's disease-like characteristics.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor symptoms and non-motor features. A hallmark of PD is the misfolding and accumulation of alpha-synuclein (α-syn), which triggers neuroinflammation and drives neurodegeneration. Microglia, brain cells that play a central role in neuroinflammatory responses and help clear various unnecessary molecules within the brain, thus maintaining the brain's internal environment, respond to α-syn through mechanisms involving inflammation, propagation, and clearance.
