Influence of Omega-3 and Green Tea Extract on Alcohol-Induced Liver Injury in Rats by Ridha Hassan Hussein, Zana Hassan Ibrahim

“…Alcoholic rats were associated with significant elevation (P<0.05) in the levels of serum TC, TG, LDL-C, MDA, TSB, ALT, AST and ALP, whereas the levels of serum HDL-C and TP significantly (P<0.05) decreased with no significant change (P>0.05) of serum ALB level. treatment of alcohol-fed rats with GTE and OMG-3 oil either alone or in their combination have significant role (P<0.05) in lowering the injury effects of alcohol evidenced by reversing the results obtained on serum lipid profiles, MDA, LFTs and hepatic histological changes after their treatments during the amelioration study. …”

First report of Haemaphysalis bispinosa, molecular-geographic relationships of Ixodes granulatus and a new Dermacentor species from Vietnam by Sándor Hornok, Jenő Kontschán, Gergő Keve, Nóra Takács, Dat Van Nguyen, Khanh Ngoc Phuong Ho, Tamás Görföl, Yuanzhi Wang, Róbert Farkas, Thanh Thi Ha Dao

“…Results The three species were morphologically identified as (i) Ixodes granulatus, which had nearly or exactly 100% sequence identities to conspecific ticks reported from large (approximately 2000 km) geographical distances but was more different (having lower, only 94.2% cox1 and 96.7% 16S rRNA sequence identity) from samples collected within 1000 km of Vietnam in Southern China and Malaysia, respectively; (ii) Haemaphysalis bispinosa, which showed 100% sequence identity to samples reported within both narrow and broad geographical ranges; and (iii) a new species, Dermacentor pseudotamokensis Hornok sp. nov., described here morphologically and shown to be phylogenetically a sister species to Dermacentor tamokensis. …”
