A series of substitution lines of variety ‘Timstein’ (Tim) into genetic background of Chinese Spring (CS) were used in this study. Analysis of variance indicated that significant differences exist among the substitution lines for all the traits under study except stomatal width (SW) in the water-stressed condition and stomatal length, and photosynthesis rate (PR) in the well-watered experiment. Correlation analysis indicated that PR and stomatal conductance (SC) were most important in affecting yield under the both experiments. Chromosomal analysis indicated that grain weight was affected by many chromosomes as it was expected due to its complexity under both well-watered and water-stressed conditions. In well-watered experiment, no substitution line was significantly different from recipient variety for PR. Despite results in well-watered experiment, chromosomes 3A, 3B, 4B, and 3D from variety Timestin increased PR when substituted into variety CS under the water-stressed experiment. In well-watered experiment, chromosome 7D of variety Timetin had the main effect on increasing SC, and chromosome 1A had a diverse effect on this character when substituted into recipient variety. However chromosomes 3A, 3B, 4B, and 1D of Timestin increased SC under water-stressed conditions. It was also revealed that in general the chromosomes expressed their independent effects on the characters regardless of environment. Nonetheless, some chromosomes indicated similar effects under the two conditions. Among them, chromosome 1A of Timestin reduced yield, chromosomes 2B, 7B, and 5D increased the amount of grain yield, and chromosome 1D increased SC under both conditions.
Preconditioning with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or opioid antagonists has a neuroprotective effect in ischemic insults. However, the co-preconditioning effect of toll-like receptor ligands and opioid antagonists has not been investigated. In this study we examined the neuroprotective effect of LPS and naltrexone (NTX) preconditioning and co-preconditioning in unilateral selective hippocampal ischemia in rats to assess for possible synergistic protective effects. LPS and NTX were injected unilaterally into the left cerebral ventricle of male rats. Forty-eight hours after LPS and twenty-four hours after NTX injection, ipsilateral selective hippocampal ischemia was induced using a modified version of the photothrombotic method. Protective effects for LPS and NTX were assessed by evaluating infarct volume (using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining), and cognitive function (using radial arm water maze and passive avoidance tests). Animals in the ischemic group had an infarct lesion and considerable cognitive impairment, compared with the sham group. LPS or NTX preconditioning significantly reduced the infarct size and improved cognitive function. Moreover, co-preconditioning with LPS and NTX increased the protective effect compared with preconditioning with LPS or NTX alone. Our data showed that LPS and NTX preconditioning resulted in a neuroprotective effect in hippocampal ischemia. Furthermore, co-preconditioning with LPS and NTX resulted in a synergistic protective effect.
The Iranian jerboa (Allactaga firouzi Womochel, 1978) is one of the rarest rodent species in the world and it has been reported exclusively from a single site in central Iran. Because of its restricted geographical distribution and habitat degradation, it has been classified as Critically Endangered in the IUCN Red List. From April 2007 to February 2009 on a small area (2200 ha) of semi-arid grazed steppe (altitude 2000 m, surface covered by bare soil and/or scarce shrub and grass vegetation) we studied the architecture structure of burrow system and burrow site selection of Iranian jerboa. Three types of burrows including temporary burrows, winter and s ummer burrows were detected in the studied habitat. Habitat characteristics such as the percentage cover of: bare soil, pebble and cobble and desert plant species like Anabasis aphylla, Artemisis siberi, and Peganum harmala, as well as the selected chemical soil parameters (content of calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate) were measured in the burrow sites and compared with similar variables measured at random plots in the non-burrow sites. The principal component analysis successfully distinguished between the burrow sites and the non-burrow areas. The burrow site selection was mainly influenced by percentage cover of bare soil, vegetation type, soil texture and chemistry.
Background: The vermiform appendix is a worm-like tube containing a large amount of lymphoid follicles. In our knowledge, there is a little standard data about the vermiform appendix in Iranian population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the normal appendix size in Iranian cadavers. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken between June 2014 and July 2015, in the autopsy laboratory, Legal Medicine Organisation, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran. A total of 693 cadavers with the mean age of 40.46 ± 20.99 years were divided into 10 groups. After writing down position of the appendix, the length, diameter and weight of the appendix were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: The mean values of the demographic characteristics included — age: 40.46 ± 20.99 years; weight: 63.47 ± 17.84 kg; height: 159.95 ± 28.23 cm. The mean values of the appendix length, diameter, weight and index in the cadavers were 8.52 ± 2.99 cm, 12.17 ± 4.53 mm, 6.43 ± 3.26 g and 0.013 ± 0.01, respectively. The most common position of the appendix was retrocaecal in 71.7% of cases. Significant correlations were evident between the value of demographic data and appendix size (p < 0.05). The diameter (p = 0.002) and index of the appendix (p = 0.003) showed significant difference between males and females. Conclusions: Having standard data on the vermiform appendix is useful for clinicians as well as anthropologists. The findings of the present study can provide information about morphologic variations of the appendix in Iranian population. (Folia Morphol 2017; 76, 4: 695–701)
