The occurrence, site, and morphology of lipomatic changes in the salivary glands of the pig, sheep, cattle, horse, dog, goat, rhesus monkey, guinea pig, bandicoot, rabbit, and the echidna were investigated, special attention being given to the glands of the echidna. The areal, tubular, acinar, marginal, central, interlobular, peritubular, paratrabecular, and capsular accumulations were described. It was concluded that lipomatic changes in the salivary glands are of two distinctly different types, one being the formation of fatty cells from the cells of the connective tissue and the other being the partial or complete transformation of the glandular cells into fatty cells.

In order to study the effects of tannins at histomorphological level, mice were either fed with three structurally different types of tannins (tannic acid, chestnut, and quebracho) or treated with isoproterenol, during 10 days. Acini of parotid and submandibular glands increased significantly, being the increase higher for parotid compared to submandibular glands, and higher in the quebracho compared with the other tannin groups. Sublingual acinar size also increased after tannin consumption, by opposition to isoproterenol-treated animals. The results present evidences that the effects produced by tannins are dependent on their structure.

In the Kṣudrakavastu of the Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya, the nun Dharmadinnā is ordained not in the usual way, but rather by a messenger, a valid type of ordination listed in the various lists of types of ordination in Indian Buddhist texts. While both the story of Dharmadinnā and these lists have received some scholarly attention, what has not been noted is the peculiarity of the Mūlasarvāstivādin tradition in relation to other existing vinayas on the issue of ordination by messenger. In this paper, I examine the story of Dharmadinnā’s ordination in the Kṣudrakavastu with special reference to its highly narrative characteristics and its surprising lack of legal elements. Then I discuss how the above characteristics are related to the list of different types of ordination which appears in other parts of this vinaya. As Appendices, I present a comparative table of the story and its counterparts in the other vinayas and a comparative table of the lists of types of ordination found in different texts.

AbstractThe arrangement and number of intralaryngeal ganglia and their neurons in five mammals (dog, rat, guinea pig, rabbit and cat) were examined morphologically. Intralaryngeal ganglions were situated mainly in branches of the internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve (Int-SLN), dorsal and/or dorsolateral to the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, and around the inferior laryngeal nerve in dogs, rats, guinea pigs and cats, but they were identified at the branching out point ofthe Int-SLN exclusively in rabbits. The ganglion of each animal was spindle-shaped, with a surrounding fibrous capsule, and it contained many ganglionic neurons, vessels and connective tissue cells. The ganglionic neuron was oval-shaped and had a round nucleus: the diameter was smaller (20–25 μm) in the rat than in the other mammals (25–30 μm). More than 80 percent of ganglionic neurons occurred in the supraglottis of all the animals except the rat. In the rat, this value was approximately 40 percent.

Varicocele is spread in 35% of men with primary infertility and in 70-81% of men with secondary infertility, being common in 15% of the entire male population. The prevalence and recurrence of varicocele are relevant for investigating of the underlying etiological mechanisms of this disease. Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of connective tissue dysplasia in patients with varicocele. Materials and methods. A clinical study is conducted in 148 patients with varicocele. A generally accepted minor congenital anatomical abnormalities were discovered during the examination. Electrocardiography, intervalography and echocardiography were provided among all patients. Results. 129 people (87.2%) of the examined patients with varicocele had connective tissue dysplasia. The most frequent manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia are: malformation of ear pavilion (90.5%), asthenic body type (79.2%), disturbed occlusion and tooth growth (52.7%), arterial hypotension (47.3%). In the vast majority of cases (104 people, 70.2%) electrocardiograms of 148 patients with varicocele demonstrated different types of arrhythmia. In intervalography it was found that in half of the cases (83 patients, 56.1%) patients had disorders of the autonomic nervous system. During the regular echocardiography only 32 people (21.6%) didn’t have any heart disease, on the other hand valvular and myocardial lesions were diagnosed in other patients. Conclusions. The deficiency of mesenchymal structures within the connective tissue dysplasia in varicocele is a systemic predisposing factor and requires a more in-depth examination of the cardiovascular system in such patients.

By double embedding whole isopods in paraffin wax and celloidin, after fixing them in Bodian's fluid, it was possible to obtain complete sets of undamaged serial sections through the thoracic and abdominal regions of females of Oniscus asellus L. and Porcellio scaber Latr., and also some incomplete series through males of these species and a species of the genus Armadillidium. These sections were stained by the methods of Bodian and of Holmes to show the nerve-fibres. They were then carefully studied, and the distribution and the morphology of all peripheral nerveendings and receptors in the body were determined as completely as possible. In all, 6 different types of terminations were found; and in some cases it was possible to draw valid inferences about their probable function from a consideration of their location and their morphology alone. Three of them are probably tactile. The function of the other three is much more uncertain; but one of them, a group of pit-like terminations situated on the under side of the lateral plates on each side of the thoracic segments, is particularly suitably located to function as a receptor of temperature or humidity, and morphologically it bears some resemblance to certain proven hygroreceptors in other arthropods. This particular termination and one of the other types, consisting of ventrally situated partially retracted hairs, do not appear to have been described previously in the land isopods.

1. The urinary excretion of orally administered [14C]benzoic acid in man and 20 other species of animal was examined. 2. At a dose of 50mg/kg, benzoic acid was excreted by the rodents (rat, mouse, guinea pig, golden hamster, steppe lemming and gerbil), the rabbit, the cat and the capuchin monkey almost entirely as hippuric acid (95–100% of 24h excretion). 3. In man at a dose of 1mg/kg and the rhesus monkey at 20mg/kg benzoic acid was excreted entirely as hippuric acid. 4. At 50mg/kg benzoic acid was excreted as hippuric acid to the extent of about 80% of the 24h excretion in the squirrel monkey, pig, dog, ferret, hedgehog and pigeon, the other 20% being found as benzoyl glucuronide and benzoic acid, the latter possibly arising by decomposition of the former. 5. On increasing the dose of benzoic acid to 200mg/kg in the ferret, the proportion of benzoyl glucuronide excreted increased and that of hippuric acid decreased. This did not occur in the rabbit, which excreted 200mg/kg almost entirely as hippuric acid. It appears that the hedgehog and ferret are like the dog in respect to their metabolism of benzoic acid. 6. The Indian fruit bat produced only traces of hippuric acid and possibly has a defect in the glycine conjugation of benzoic acid. The main metabolite in this animal (dose 50mg/kg) was benzoyl glucuronide. 7. The chicken, side-necked turtle and gecko converted benzoic acid mainly into ornithuric acid, but all three species also excreted smaller amounts of hippuric acid.

SummarySephadex gel filtration of human plasma gave results suggesting the presence of two proactivators of plasminogen, termed proactivators A and B.Activity resembling that of proactivator A was found in rabbit plasma, but not in guinea pig plasma.Plasminogen activators produced by the interaction of proactivator A of human plasma with streptokinase had no caseinolytic or TAMe esterolytic effect.Proactivator A can be separated in a form apparently free from plasminogen, as shown by the heated fibrin plate test and by immunological analysis. On the other hand, proactivator B concentrates prepared so far are contamined with plasminogen.Human proactivators appear to be far more susceptible to streptokinase than are rabbit proactivators.Inhibitors of the fibrinolysin system were observed in the plasmas of all 3 species. These inhibitors are not present in the euglobulin fraction of plasma. Sephadex fractionation of euglobulin fractions results in proactivator preparations that do not contain inhibitors.

This research is an examination and a study on the influence of rewards on job satisfaction of lecturers at Shinas College of Technology (ShCT). In academic industry, rewards are one of the factors that affecting job satisfaction of the employees and this will lead to affect their performance in their jobs. So, when rewards are more the job satisfaction will be high and when rewards are less the job satisfaction will be less. On the other hand, the age will not affect the job satisfaction. Previous research reveals that Job satisfaction is very important to success the industry and the rewards are the main factors which affect job satisfaction. The main purpose of this study is to know the influence of rewards in job satisfaction among the lecturers in ShCT. Moreover, this research attempts to identify how much rewards affect the job satisfaction in ShCT.  For this study used two types of data which are: primary data and secondary data. The sources of primary data is the response from lecturers at ShCT. It is collected through structured questionnaire and distributed such to 60 respondents. Secondary data, collected from internet, books, journals, articles etc.

The fascia can be defined as a dynamic highly complex connective tissue network composed of different types of cells embedded in the extracellular matrix and nervous fibers: each component plays a specific role in the fascial system changing and responding to stimuli in different ways. This review intends to discuss the various components of the fascia and their specific roles; this will be carried out in the effort to shed light on the mechanisms by which they affect the entire network and all body systems. A clear understanding of fascial anatomy from a microscopic viewpoint can further elucidate its physiological and pathological characteristics and facilitate the identification of appropriate treatment strategies.
