The study gave TEM ultrastructural of vitellogenesis in Lecithochirium grandid , digenean intestinal parasite of Saurida undosquamis , four developmental phases (1, 2, 3 & 4) during vitel-logenesis. Vitelline bundles were enveloped with fine fibrous layer surrounded with separ-ated circular muscle bands. Ultrastructural study showed that vitellocyte maturation comprised of increased extension of parallel cisternae of GER, increase in cell size and in the different phases increased numbers of pellets aggregation in clusters during vitellogenesis. In mature vitel-locytes, there were large numbers of various aggregations such as aggregation of pellets in clusters; the important portion in construction of egg shell and a number of unsaturated lipid droplets. This agreed with different phases of oocyte development in parasitic Platyhelminthes.
该研究通过 TEM 超微结构观察了金龙鱼肠道寄生虫 Lecithochirium grandid 的卵黄发生过程,卵黄发生过程分为四个发育阶段(1、2、3 和 4)。玻璃体束被细纤维层包裹,周围有分离的环形肌带。超微结构研究表明,玻璃体细胞的成熟包括玻璃体细胞发生过程中GER平行腔的扩展、细胞体积的增大以及在不同阶段聚集成团的颗粒数量的增加。在成熟的卵黄细胞中,存在大量的各种聚集体,如聚集成团的颗粒;这是构建蛋壳的重要部分,也是大量的不饱和脂滴。这与寄生性扁形动物卵母细胞发育的不同阶段一致。

Lymph nodes are the most frequent site of extrahepatic metastases for hepatocellular carci- - cal ones from those best suited for non-surgical management. Diagnosis cannot be completely confirmed by imaging and operative exploration. Endoscopic ultrasound elastography (EUS-EG) has a marked role in assessment of lymph nodes in HCC patients and optimizing their management accordingly. This study assessed diagnostic accuracy of EUS-EG in suspected lymph nodes in HCC potential candidates for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and identifued its role in diagnosis and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma. The study was conducted at the Tropical Medicine department, Ain Shams University, Ain Shams Center of Organ Transplantation (ASCOT) and Endoscopy Unit, Theodor Bilharz Research Institute between July 2018 & May2023. The patients 24 with HCC and abdominal lymphadenopathy were prepared for LDLT. Liver function tests, Positron emission tomography (PET) scan, EUS-EG, EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). The results showed the prevalence of metastatic lymph nodes by EUS-FNA was 41.7%. EUS-EG and PET scan had same sensitivity of 80.0% in detecting metastatic lymph nodes. But, EUS-EG had a higher specificity 85.7% compared to 57.1% specificity of PET scan.

Blastocystis presents in healthy and diseased persons so its role in disease development is a subject of debate. This study compared between growth patterns of different symptomatic Blastocystis subtypes. Morphometric measures of the vacuolar form of STs isolated from acute GIT symptomatic patients showed that major diversity in size ranged from 4.928±1.77 among ST4 to 70.54±29.66 among wild ST3. Size in chronic group was 4±0.816 in ST-4 and 40.83±7.359 in heterozygous ST3, and in intermittent group ranged from 5.5±0.707 in ST4 to 47.5±6.45 in heterozygous ST3 with significant differences. Phenotypic variations were commonly among inter-subtypes of ST3. Generation patterns in re-culturing were 24.1% of isolates at 5 th re-culturing and the 29.6% at 6 th re-culturing loss of 90% viable vacuolar form numbers compared to that on first culture. Low percenta ge (9.3%) reached to 9 th re-culture. Majority of ST-1 (40%) was lost at the 5 th re-culture while 58.8% of wild ST-3 was lost in the 7 th & 8 th , respectively, with 29.4% per each. Meanwhile, 66.6% of ST-4 was lost in the 5 th & 6 th , respectively, with 33.3% per each, but without significant difference. As to metronidazole ® susceptibility, the majority of ST1, wild ST3, heterozygous ST3 and ST4 isolates gave 60%, 58.7%, 57.2% & 79.9% sensitivity.

Dog feces are important for spreading and transmitting parasite eggs, larvae, and oocysts by contaminating soil, food, or water. Dog feces can be a source of intestinal parasites. This study investigated the prevalence of Toxocara canis infection in stray dogs in the Tabuk Region in northwest Saudi Arabia. Eggs were discovered using the sedimentation flotation method in the feces of stray dogs, and they were recognized using DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of the 200 fecal samples that were randomly obtained from public places, the Tabuk region's west (an agricultural area) showed the highest prevalence of eggs (7.5%). The molecular approaches for identification of this parasite are sensitive sufficient to distinguish be-tween the various T. canis in feces and to detect low parasite levels. Due to Saudi Arabia's ineffective environmental hygiene controls, the comparatively high prevalence of this parasite may continue to rise. This study accurately identified T. canis in dogs in Tabuk Region by a new technique, eliminating the possibility of misdiagnosis by traditional fecal microscopy.
狗的粪便会污染土壤、食物或水,从而传播寄生虫卵、幼虫和卵囊。狗粪可能是肠道寄生虫的来源之一。本研究调查了沙特阿拉伯西北部塔布克地区流浪狗的犬弓形虫感染率。采用沉淀浮选法在流浪狗的粪便中发现了虫卵,并通过 DNA 测序和聚合酶链反应 (PCR) 对其进行了识别。在从公共场所随机获取的 200 份粪便样本中,塔布克地区西部(农业区)的虫卵感染率最高(7.5%)。鉴定这种寄生虫的分子方法灵敏度高,足以区分粪便中的各种犬蛔虫,并能检测到低水平的寄生虫。由于沙特阿拉伯的环境卫生控制不力,这种寄生虫的相对高流行率可能会继续上升。这项研究采用一种新技术准确鉴定了塔布克地区狗体内的犬结核菌,消除了传统粪便显微镜检查误诊的可能性。

The repeated exposure of the immune system to bee venom as antigen leads to significant increase in immune response. In this study different immunological schedules were tried to reach maximum immunological effect with the least allergic side effect either by using and aqueous or emulsified preparation of bee venom. Three groups of male rabbits of one year old each were used for a period of four weeks. The blood samples were with drown before bee venom injection and weekly after its infection for determination of IgG and IgE. The results showed that injection of Egyptian bee venom in an aqueous form have the ability to boost the level of immune response without significant allergic reaction.

Pediatric nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge and practice as to care of nephritis syndrome children. The study evaluated the effect of an-educational program on knowledge and practice of nurses caring for nephritis children. A quasi-experimental design was utilized on 57 pediatric nurses caring for nephritis syndrome children. Two tools were utilized for data collection; self-administered questionnaire sheet included personal characteristics of pediatric nurses, knowledge, and observational checklist for evaluation the nursing practices of children. The results showed that majority of them had unsatisfactory knowledge and inadequate practice about nephritis syndrome before program implementation. This was significantly improved in immediate and 3 months after program implementation, with a positive correlation between nurses' knowledge, age and years of experience, also between nurses' practice, age, pediatric year and general experience.

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic protozoan infectious disease affects people worldwide with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The incomplete efficacy of the approved drugs for the chronic Toxoplasma gondii infections endangers one-third of the global humans and animals with reactivation. This is due to the risky complications chronic toxoplasmosis causes. This study evaluated the TLRs 7/8 agonist, Resiquimod ® for treating chronic toxoplasmosis in BALB/c mice infected with the ME49 strain of T. gondii as compared the traditionally used Py-rimethamine ® & Sulphadiazine ® . This was judged by the number of brain cysts, the histpatholo-gical degrees in the brain and retina, expression of the apoptotic marker, caspase-3 compared to negative and positive controls. The results showed a statistically significant decrease in the number of brain cysts in resiq-uimod-treated mice correlated with the histopathological improvement of brain and retina and apoptosis.
