Effect of Antivirals on the Elimination of Lily Symptomless Virus in Lilium Oriental Hybrid `Casa Blanca'

This study was conducted to find out the effect of antivirals during tissue culture for lily symptomless virus (LSV) free stock production of Oriental lily. Scales and bulblets of LSV-infected Lilium Oriental hybrids `Casa Blanca' were used as plant materials. Scales and bulblets were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS, 1962) medium added 20 μM of virazole, and 0, 20, 40, and 80 μM of azauracil or thiouracil for 12 weeks prior to LSV detection to examine the effect of antivirals. The survival rate in scaling was observed to be lower than bulblet culture in vitro and higher concentration of azauracil and thiouracil also effected on lower survival rate. The enlargement of bulblet tended to be promoted in low concentration without regard to kinds of antivirals, and especially most effective in 20 μM of azauracil. Elimenation rate of LSV was 0% in control, on the contrary, antivirals treatment which resulted in complete elimination of LSV.

Abstract. This article analyses if and to what extent gender differences exist in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) therapy. For this purpose Medline (PubMed) was searched from January 1999 to January 2018. Keywords were: “abdominal aortic aneurysm”, “gender”, “prevalence”, “EVAR”, and “open surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysm”. Regardless of open or endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, women have a higher rate of complications and longer hospitalizations compared to men. The majority of studies showed that women have a lower survival rate for surgical and endovascular treatment of abdominal aneurysms after both elective and emergency interventions. Women receive less surgical/interventional and protective medical treatment. Women seem to have a higher risk of rupture, a lower survival rate in AAA, and a higher rate of complications, regardless of endovascular or open treatment. The gender differences may be due to a higher age of women at diagnosis and therapy associated with higher comorbidity, but also because of genetic, hormonal, anatomical, biological, and socio-cultural differences. Strategies for treatment in female patients must be further defined to optimize outcome.

Pigment Synthesis

A General description of the development of mouse chimaerae and an account of the techniques for their production were given in previous reports (Tarkowski, 1961, 1963). The chimaeric character of the embryos and young obtained was tentatively claimed in the first of these publications because (1) the actual union of two eggs into one blastocyst was seen in culture in vitro, (2) of the occurrence of intersexes, (3) pigment synthesis of the types of the dark component occurred in the majority of individuals developed from pairs of eggs differing genetically in factors for pigmentation. The last criterion was met only by macroscopic search for pigment in the eyes. The present report gives a more detailed description of the distribution of pigment forming cells in these animals, based on histological analysis. Some remarks on the validity and applicability of such a criterion for estimating the degree of chimaerism were made at the 13th Annual Meeting of the Tissue Culture Association (Tarkowski 1963).
