Aim: evaluate the impact of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) on CD34 and vimentin expression in hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis induced with CCl 4 in experimental mice. Methods: GI: normal group given no therapy; control group. GII: received a daily dose (1mL/kg/bw/d) of milk thistle oil M.T.O for 4 weeks; GIII&GIV: injected i.p. with (1:1 ratio) mixture of CCl4 and olive oil (1mL/kg/bw) twice weekly for 4 weeks to induce fibrosis, and for 6 weeks to induce cirrhosis. Gp5 and Gp6: fibrotic and cirrhotic groups administered M.T.O as in Gp2. The results showed that liver sections of Gp1 and Gp2 showed normal moderate to strong CD34 expression in the endothelial cells of the blood sinusoids and many hepatocytes. The liver tissues of Gp3 and Gp4 expressed decrement CD34 immunoreactivity in many hepatic lobules. The liver sections of Gp5 or Gp6 showed restoration of CD34 expression in most of the hepatic tissues. In Gp1 and Gp2, the vimentin was expressed as weak or moderate immunostaining in the endothelial cells and connective tissues (wall of the blood sinusoids, central portal veins, and portal tract stroma). The liver sections of Gp3 and Gp4 showed overexpression of vimentin immunoreactivity. The treatment with M.T.O in Gp5 and Gp6 showed improvement and recovery of vimentin expression in the hepatic lobules. Conclusion: M.T.O. treatment improved the hepatic injury induced in fibrotic or cirrhotic tissues by CCl 4 injection and could be recommended for patients with fibrotic and cirrhotic liver diseases.

Bats play an important role in ecosystem function, serving as a biocontrol agent of insects and pollination in plants, hence the need to understand the factors affecting their health and performance. Infestation of fungi has been identified as a potential threat to populations of mammals, especially bats, yet their specific effects on wing morphology and flight behavior remain understudied. In this study, swabs of Pipistrellus pipistrellus bat wings were taken from bat carers around the United Kingdom. For identification, samples were exposed to conventional PCR using fungal-specific primers to amplify the ribosomal DNA's internal transcribed spacer (ITS). The wind morphometric parameters such as wing angles (maximum, minimum, mean, and amplitude) and wing frequency were determined for both wings with fungi infestation and without fungi infestation. A rain cloud distribution plot with a box plot was used to determine the distribution of flight parameters of the wings. A principal component analysis biplot was used to determine the relationship between the flight parameters in terms of wings with infestation by fungi and without infestation. The findings in this study are important to bat biology, ecology, and conservation and give insights into the need for wildlife management and conservation, ultimately contributing to the ongoing efforts to preserve bat populations and support ecological balance in diverse ecosystems.
蝙蝠在生态系统功能中发挥着重要作用，是昆虫和植物授粉的生物控制剂，因此有必要了解影响其健康和表现的因素。真菌侵袭已被认为是对哺乳动物（尤其是蝙蝠）种群的潜在威胁，但真菌对翅膀形态和飞行行为的具体影响仍未得到充分研究。在这项研究中，我们从英国各地的蝙蝠照料者那里采集了琵琶蝠翅膀的拭子。为了进行鉴定，样本使用真菌特异性引物进行常规 PCR，以扩增核糖体 DNA 的内部转录间隔（ITS）。测定了有真菌侵染和无真菌侵染的翅膀的风形态参数，如翅膀角度（最大、最小、平均和振幅）和翅膀频率。使用带方框图的雨云分布图来确定机翼飞行参数的分布。利用主成分分析双曲线图确定了有真菌侵染和无真菌侵染翅膀的飞行参数之间的关系。本研究的发现对蝙蝠生物学、生态学和保护具有重要意义，并对野生动物管理和保护的需求提供了启示，最终有助于保护蝙蝠种群和支持多样化生态系统生态平衡的持续努力。
