We studied discrete and quantitative data from 88 specimens of the subgenus Mimon previously identified as Mimon bennettii (Gray, 1838) and M.cozumelae Goldman, 1914 from diverse parts of their range.Our data indicate that specimens of Mimon bennetii in Brazil presented geographic variation in morphometrical characters and mosaic variation in quali
Preservation Status and Problems of Key Soil and Water Conservation Projects in Black Soil Region of Northeast China
[Objective] Measures of national key soil and water conservation projects (NKSWCP) were systematically evaluated to provide a basis for improving the quality and efficiency of soil and water loss control in the black soil area of Northeast China, and to promote the high quality development of black soil protection and soil and water conservation.[M
Gag mutations strongly contribute to HIV-1 resistance to protease inhibitors in highly drug-experienced patients besides compensating for fitness loss.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) resistance to protease inhibitors (PI) gotrax handlebar results from mutations in the viral protease (PR) that reduce PI binding but also decrease viral replicative capacity (RC).Additional mutations compensating for the RC loss subsequently accumulate within PR and in Gag substrate cleavage sites.We exam
Therapeutic potential of Sertoli cells in vivo: alleviation of acute inflammation and improvement of sperm quality
Abstract Background Inflammation-induced testicular damage is a significant contributing factor to the increasing incidence of infertility.Traditional treatments during the inflammatory phase often fail to achieve the desired fertility outcomes, necessitating innovative interventions such as cell therapy.Methods We explored the in vivo properties o
Short-stay daycare laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a dedicated daycare centre: Feasible or futile
Background: In the last decade, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become a regular daycare surgery at many centres across the world.However, only a few centres in India have a dedicated daycare surgery centre, and very few of them have reported their experience.Concerns remain regarding the feasibility, safety and acceptability of the introduct
