First Nearctic Record of Hydrellia albilabris (Meigen) (Diptera: Ephydridae), a Leafminer of Duckweed (Araceae: Lemnoideae), with Comments on Related…
2019
Hydrellia albilabris (Meigen) (Diptera: Ephydridae) is recorded in the Nearctic Region for the first time. Its biology and immature stages are documented, and other miners in duckweeds (Araceae: Lemnoideae) are discussed. One new combination is proposed: Hydrellia jinpingensis (Zhang, Yang, and Hayashi) is transferred from Cavatorella.
Leksinių samplaikų sąrašo tikslinimas: bandymas taikyti "Formulex" metodą
2016
Svetimkalbių vartotojų produkuojamos kalbos tekstynai pastaruoju metu neretai tiriami aprašant leksines samplaikas, t. y. pasikartojančias tam tikro ilgio žodžių sekas, jų vartojimą bei funkcijas. Tokiuose tyrimuose neišvengiamai susiduriama su iš dalies sutampančiomis ar nepilnos struktūros samplaikomis. Pavyzdžiui, keturžodės anglų kalbos samplaikos at the same time, the same time it ir but at the same yra automatiškai generuojamos kompiuterio programa kaip tekstyne pasikartojančios sekos. Tačiau ar kiekviena jų laikytina tikrąja samplaika? Ar kiekvienai iš jų galima priskirti vienokią ar kitokią funkciją? Šiame straipsnyje siekiama parodyti, kaip „Formulex” metodas (Forsyth, 2015a, 2015b…
Chemical composition and biological activities of Artemisia judaica essential oil from southern desert of Jordan
2016
Abstract Ethnopharmacologic relevance Artemisia judaica L. (Arabic name: Beithran ), is a medicinal and aromatic plant growing in the valley bottoms of desert areas, particularly in the southern desert of Jordan nearest to the Jordan-Saudi Arabia borders and in Wadi Araba in the Southern Badia. In Jordan, A. judaica is widely used in traditional medicine being recommended by aboriginal Bedouins in the North Badia region of Jordan as calmative. Furthermore, it is used for the treatment of stomach ache, heart diseases, sexual weakness, diabetes, gastro-intestinal disorders and external wounding. Additionally, other folk medicines of the Arabic region commonly use this aromatic plant for the t…
TLR2, TLR4 and Dectin-1 signalling in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells determines the antifungal phenotype of the macrophages they produce
2016
TLRs represent an attractive target for the stimulation of myeloid cell production by HSPCs. We have previously demonstrated that HSPCs use TLR2 to sense Candida albicans in vivo and induce the production of macrophages. In this work, we used an in vitro model of HSPCs differentiation to investigate the functional consequences for macrophages of exposure of HSPCs to various PAMPs and C. albicans cells. Mouse HSPCs (Lin(-) cells) were cultured with M-CSF to induce macrophage differentiation, in the presence or absence of the following PRR agonists: Pam3CSK4 (TLR2 ligand), LPS (TLR4 ligand), depleted zymosan (which only activates Dectin-1), or C. albicans yeasts (which activate several PRRs, …
Killed Candida albicans yeasts and hyphae inhibit gamma interferon release by murine natural killer cells.
2006
ABSTRACT Killed yeasts and hyphae of Candida albicans inhibit gamma interferon secretion by highly purified murine NK cells in response to the Toll-like receptor ligands lipopolysaccharide and zymosan. This effect, which is also observed in the presence of NK-activating cytokines (interleukin-2 [IL-2], IL-12, and IL-15), may represent a novel mechanism of immune evasion that contributes to the virulence of C. albicans .

Evaluation of the Role of Candida albicans Agglutinin-Like Sequence (Als) Proteins in Human Oral Epithelial Cell Interactions
2012
The fungus C. albicans uses adhesins to interact with human epithelial surfaces in the processes of colonization and pathogenesis. The C. albicans ALS (agglutinin-like sequence) gene family encodes eight large cell-surface glycoproteins (Als1-Als7 and Als9) that have adhesive function. This study utilized C. albicans Δals mutant strains to investigate the role of the Als family in oral epithelial cell adhesion and damage, cytokine induction and activation of a MAPK-based (MKP1/c-Fos) signaling pathway that discriminates between yeast and hyphae. Of the eight Δals mutants tested, only the Δals3 strain showed significant reductions in oral epithelial cell adhesion and damage, and cytokine pro…
Candida albicans Yeast and Hyphae are Discriminated by MAPK Signaling in Vaginal Epithelial Cells
2011
We previously reported that a bi-phasic innate immune MAPK response, constituting activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase MKP1 and c-Fos transcription factor, discriminates between the yeast and hyphal forms of Candida albicans in oral epithelial cells (ECs). Since the vast majority of mucosal Candida infections are vaginal, we sought to determine whether a similar bi-phasic MAPK-based immune response was activated by C. albicans in vaginal ECs. Here, we demonstrate that vaginal ECs orchestrate an innate response to C. albicans via NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. However, unlike in oral ECs, the first MAPK response, defined by c-Jun transcription factor acti…
Oral colonization by Candida species in orthodontic patients before, during and after treatment with fixed appliances: A prospective controlled trial
2020
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: http://www.medicinaoral.com/medoralfree01/aop/57565.pdf Background: Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances is associated with changes in oral microbiota, including increased Candida colonization. The Candida fungus can cause oral lesions and infections such as candidiasis and angular cheilitis, and is harmful to both the patient and the orthodontist. Poor hygiene facilitates the colonization of these microorganisms. The key aim was to quantify the colonization of C. albicans in patients prior to beginning orthodontic treatment, and during the treatment process. Material and Methods: A total of 124 patients (43 males and 80 fema…
