BALB/c mice were infected with Schistosoma japonicum cercariae (40+/-2 per mouse) through abdominal skin. Mice were sacrificed after 35 days to acquire the adult worms which were then fixed, stained, clarified, dehydrated and mounted. The specimens were observed under the confocal laser scanning microscope. The overall morphology of the adult worms was displayed distinctly, especially the testicular lobes, seminal vesicle and genital pore of the male, reproductive system, and the ovary, vitelline glands, oviduct, vitelline duct, seminal receptacle, ootype, mehlis gland, uterus, genital pore and eggs of female reproductive system. The confocal laser scanning microscopy is an alternative method to research organs, tissues and cell structure of schistosome worm.

    We extend the same technique, a Multipole expansion technique using power ratios, to infrared (IR) images of SNRs to test whether they can be typed using the symmetry of their warm dust Emission as well. We analyzed archival Spitzer Space Telescope Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) 24 micron obser...

    We obtained high spatial resolution Observations of NGC4418 at 1.4 and 5 GHz with MERLIN, and at 230 and 270 GHz With the SMA very extended configuration. We use the continuum morphology and Flux density to estimate the size of the emitting region, the star formation Rate and the dust temperature. E...

    In these HF patients initially free of depression annual incidence rates were high. Several independent predictors allowed identification of patients at particular risk. Although obtained in a selected cohort these findings call, in view of the grave prognosis of HF patients with comorbid depression...
