...ttom and there were many layers of leaves in the clay along with Trapa fruits and a few seeds. Many of the leaves were of oaks, maples, birch and willows which seemed to be similar to modem species and some I could not identify. The most interesting seemed to be a Ginkgo or a fem leaflet resembling it. I named the specimens as far as I could, without a great deal of microscopic work, and gave a list to Dr. de Terra which he published in 1939 in De Terra, H. an...

...in both species had four layers. The mucosa was lined by a thick, keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the presence of serotonin receptors in this layer. The density of glands in the lamina propria increased distally. Turkeys possessed tubular acinar glands, while ostriches had simpler tubular glands. The submucosa was less distinct in turkeys compared to ostriches, where it was well-developed. The muscularis layer ...

...ected from 10 commercial layers farms and 170 samples (50 egg shells, 50 egg contents, and 70 environmental samples) were collected from 10 backyard layers flocks. The overall prevalence of Salmonella was 4.1% for each production system. Six commercial flocks (60%) and three backyard layers flocks (30%) harbored at least one Salmonella isolate. The prevalence rates of Salmonella spp. in eg...

...ve emerged as important players in signaling cascades of tumor metastasis. In previous reports it is stated that the interactions between Slit2 and Robo1 are facilitated by heparan sulphate that is abundantly expressed on cell surface and extracellular matrix. Slit2 reduces tumor proliferation in lung cancer and glioblastoma cells whereas TGF-β is a well-described tumor inducer. The present study was aimed at deciphering the role of heparan sulphate in Sl...

In conclusion, Andromed® diluent and tris aminomethane + 20% egg yolk can maintain the quality and proportion of sperm, and further analysis needs to be carried out regarding the use of Andromed® diluent and tris aminomethane + 20% egg yolk in the sexing semen freezing process.

...ll was composed of three layers (pericardium, myocardium and endocardium), the pericardium was composed of the parietal and visceral layers, and the parietal layer is made up of dense connective tissue. The visceral layer was inner visceral epicardium and was attached to the heart, and epicardium was covered by single layer simple epithelial tissue. The endocardium was thin and inner layer, the composed of three
