Pyrethroid esters are widely used as insecticides worldwide. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the harmful
effect of deltamethrin on the male reproductive system through the assessment of reproductive hormones, inflammatory
markers, and testicular function. To achieve our aim, eighty male 7-9-week-old, Wistar rats were taken, weighed, and
divided into four experimental groups. The first group was kept as a control group, and the other three groups were
given deltamethrin orally at different concentrations (0.87, 8.7, and 17.4 mg/kg body weight) for nine weeks. The results
indicated that deltamethrin administration associated with a significant decrease in reproductive hormones, especially
FSH, LH, and significant elevation in the interleukin 2 (IL2), interleukin 6 (IL6), histamine, and cortisol levels. Also, the
significance of inhibition of sperm motility and viability, decreased testis weights, sperm count, and fructose in semen
were noted. These findings clarify the harmful effect of deltamethrin on the male reproductive system by producing a
significant alteration in reproductive hormones, inflammatory markers as well as testicular function. 相似文献
The application of deep learning in the field of object detection has
experienced much progress. However, due to the domain shift problem, applying an
off-the-shelf detector to another domain leads to a significant performance drop. A
large number of ground truth labels are required when using another domain to train
models, demanding a large amount of human and financial resources. In order to avoid
excessive resource requirements and performance drop caused by domain shift, this
paper proposes a new domain adaptive approach to cross-domain vehicle detection. Our
approach improves the cross-domain vehicle detection model from image space and
feature space. We employ objectives of the generative adversarial network and cycle
consistency loss for image style transfer in image space. For feature space, we align
feature distributions between the source domain and the target domain to improve the
detection accuracy. Experiments are carried out using the method with two different
datasets, proving that this technique effectively improves the accuracy of vehicle
detection in the target domain. 相似文献
This paper presents a PVS development of relevant results of the theory of rings. The PVS theory includes complete proofs of the three classical isomorphism theorems for rings, and characterizations of principal, prime and maximal ideals. Algebraic concepts and properties are specified and formalized as generally as possible allowing in this manner their application to other algebraic structures. The development provides the required elements to formalize important algebraic theorems. In particular, the paper presents the formalization of the general algebraic-theoretical version of the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) for the theory of rings, as given in abstract algebra textbooks, proved as a consequence of the first isomorphism theorem. Also, the PVS theory includes a formalization of the number-theoretical version of CRT for the structure of integers, which is the version of CRT found in formalizations. CRT for integers is obtained as a consequence of the general version of CRT for the theory of rings.
The central nervous system (CNS) is the most complex structure in the body, consisting of multiple cell types with distinct morphology and function. Development of the neuronal circuit and its function rely on a continuous crosstalk between neurons and non-neural cells. It has been widely accepted that extracellular vesicles (EVs), mainly exosomes, are effective entities responsible for intercellular CNS communication. They contain membrane and cytoplasmic proteins, lipids, non-coding RNAs, microRNAs and mRNAs. Their cargo modulates gene and protein expression in recipient cells. Several lines of evidence indicate that EVs play a role in modifying signal transduction with subsequent physiological changes in neurogenesis, gliogenesis, synaptogenesis and network circuit formation and activity, as well as synaptic pruning and myelination. Several studies demonstrate that neural and non-neural EVs play an important role in physiological and pathological neurodevelopment. The present review discusses the role of EVs in various neurodevelopmental disorders and the prospects of using EVs as disease biomarkers and therapeutics. 相似文献
