Introduction: The grading of glial tumors is based on morphological and sometimes on molecular features. Many markers have been assessed in order to grade the glial tumours without a real consensus. Some authors reported that SRSF1, a spiling factor, presents an expression correlated to the tumours grades.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a potentially serious complication ofallogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Graft-contaminating T cells (donor T cells) arecrucial for the development ofGVHD since they are able to react against the recipient's antigens. In this study we aim toevaluatethepotentialassociation between the IVS3 + 17 T/C gene variation in the CD28 molecule, a T cells costimulatory factor, and the GVHD occurrence in a Tunisian group of recipients of allo-HSCTs.

Common clinical features of COVID-19 are increasingly known but cutaneous manifestations are rarely described among healthcare workers. A review of cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 especially among healthcare workers (HCW) is thus required. The aim of our current study was to provide a comprehensive review of cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 among HCW through six case reports and a literature review.

In this work, a new porphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis{4-[((4-methoxyphenyl)acetyl)oxy]phenyl}porphyrin (HTMAPP) (1), and its cobalt complex [Co(TMAPP)] (2) were synthesized in good and quantitative yields, respectively. The chemical structures of these synthesized compounds were confirmed by FT-IR, H NMR, MS, UV-visible, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Their photophysical properties, namely their molar extinction coefficients (), fluorescence quantum yields ( ) and lifetimes ( ), were determined and compared with those of -tetraphenylporphyrin.
