Abstract:
Intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus presenting in adults is a rare entity, and association with jejunal diverticulum is rarer still. Herein, we report and review such a case of malrotation and volvulus, associated with intestinal band adhesions and a solitary jejunal diverticulum. This 67 years old gentleman had presented with complaints of intermittent abdominal pain for past several years. Imaging of the abdomen revealed twisting of superior mesenteric artery and vein, evidence of midgut volvulus and intestinal malrotation with “whirlpool sign”. Laparotomy revealed a midgut volvulus, extensive adhesions involving the root of the mesentery and a jejunal diverticulum. Adhesiolysis was performed, untwisting of the bowel was done and the jejunal diverticulum was resected. Post-operative period was uneventful. This case is being reported on account of its extreme rarity.

Abstract:
As a result of the introduction of imaging research methods into clinical practice, the frequency of detection of cavities in the liver has significantly increased, among which nonparasitic cysts have not been sufficiently studied. The paper provides an overview of the most commonly used classifications of this pathology. Clinical and radiological manifestations of cysts were investigated based on the analysis of the results of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound sonography of 175 patients (109 with solitary cysts and 66 with polycystic liver). The tissues of the resected areas of 81 cysts and adjacent liver tissue were studied by histological and immune-histochemical methods. Various variants of liver cysts were identified: polycystic cysts, solitary cysts and the rarest variant - ciliated anterior-intestinal hepatic cysts. The morphological and histogenetic features of solitary and ciliated anterior-intestinal hepatic cysts, as well as changes in the liver tissue adjacent to the cavities, are described. Polycystic is characterized by the presence of cavities of various sizes, with thin connective tissue partitions and a lining of cubic or flattened epithelium. The lining of solitary cysts is represented by cubic, cylindrical, sometimes multi-row epithelium. Immature biliary structures in the form of von Meijenburg complexes, islets of hepatocytes, conglomerates of dysplastic vessels are revealed in their wall among the cells of connective tissue. Ciliated anterior-intestinal hepatic cysts contain components of the primary intestine wall - a lining of a cylindrical ciliated epithelium, a layer of loose connective tissue, a muscle layer, a connective tissue capsule. Morphological studies made it possible to establish violations of embryogenesis in various types of cysts. Ciliated anterior intestinal hepatic cysts develop from the anterior section of the primary intestine, while solitary cysts are derived from its middle section. Migration of the developing buds of bronchioles from the cranial part of the primary midgut into the hepatic diverticulum determines the presence of all components of the wall of the hollow organ - cylindrical ciliated epithelium, loose connective tissue, bundles of smooth muscle fibers. Simple solitary cysts are the result of abnormal remodeling of the embryonic ductal lamina, thus being a developmental abnormality of the middle section of the primary midgut. Morphological examination of the liver tissue adjacent to the walls of the cysts reveals hypoplasia of lobules, persistence of elements of the embryonic ductal plate in the form of cords and complexes of the biliary epithelium, foci of ductopenia, von Meijenburg complexes, and various variants of vascular dysplasia.

Abstract:
AbstractTribolium castaneum Herbst 1797 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), an important pest of stored grains and byproducts, is naturally infected by Gregarina cuneata Stein 1848 (Apicomplexa: Gregarinidae). Changes in the life cycle of insects caused by the parasite development in the midgut were studied. Trophozoites, gamonts (solitary and associated), and gametocysts were present in the midgut of the insects. In young trophozoites, the apical region differentiated into an epimerite that firmly attached the parasite to the host epithelial cells. With maturation, trophozoites developed in gamonts that were associated with the initiation of sexual reproduction in the cell cycle, culminating in the formation of the spherical gametocyst. Morpho-functional analyses indicated that gregarines absorb nutrients from infected cells and can occlude the midgut as they develop. Consequently, nutritional depletion may interfere with the host's physiology, causing decreased growth, delayed development, and high mortality rates of the parasitized insects. These results suggest G. cuneata could be an important biological agent for controlling T. castaneum in integrated pest management programs.

Abstract:
This study investigated different bacterial communities in three intestinal parts (foregut, midgut and hindgut) of Xylocopatenuiscapa to understand the roles of gut bacteria. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed that X. tenuiscapa is closely related to Xylocopa latipes. The 16S rRNA gene in the genomic DNA samples from the gut was examined by illumina (Solexa) and a total of 998 operational taxonomic unit (OTUs) clusters were found. Taxonomic classification identified 16 bacterial phyla and unclassified bacteria. The dominant bacteria taxa in the three parts of X. tenuiscapa gut were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria. In the foregut, Lactobacillales and Enterobacteriaceae were predominantly found. The population in the midgut was similar to that in the foregut, with the addition of Gilliamella, which was also abundant. The most dominant bacteria identified in the hindgut were similar to those in the midgut and Lactobacillales, Enterobacteriaceae, Gilliamella, Bifidobacteriaceae and Flavobacteriaceae appeared in abundance. Moreover, our results suggest that a community structure of bacteria in different parts of X. tenuiscapa’s gut may be an important indicator of carpenter bees’ health. This functional study of bacterial communities revealed significant differences among the three intestinal parts and is the first report of the gut bacteria structure in solitary bees.

Abstract:
Hindgut of Solitary has been into its three regions: ileum, colon, and rectum, and each region was studied morphologically, histologically and functionally. Ileal structure has been investigated throughout its length from pyloric valve ( the border between the midgut and the hindgut) to its end ,which marks the border between the ileum and the colon. The 6 layers apical wall of circular muscles were fully described with the longitudinal muscles. The 12 inner ileal epithelial folds consist of columnar cells with microvilli, which suggest that the ileum is involved with nutrition absorption. The 12 ileal folds are close to the inner wall of the proximal circular muscles, but in another locust are projecting inward the lumen centre. But in both structures the subintimal space is clear. The 12 ileal folds become reduced to the smallest in size and less in count. Their reduction continues to the lowest size till they become traces at the end of the ileum. The colon structure shows that the diameter becomes small and the tissue between the layer circular muscles and the 4 thick folds of the colon. The area between the circulat muscles and the inner columnar cells is full of thick longitudinal muscles. The rectal structure shows the 6 large rectal papillae and small rectal pads which grow to replace the rectal papillae. Rectal papillae are involved with mineral and water re-absorption. At the middle rectal area structure shows 6 areas occupied by rectal pads and 6 reduced between rectal areas, which have columnar epithelial cells. Their function is to facilitate the faeces evacuation by their contraction and expanding as they do as articulation. Rectal pads show different type of cells such principal cells, basic cells and junctional cells. Also intrapapillar lumen, tracheae, and also the circular and longitudinal muscles are very clear .

Abstract:
The emerald jewel wasp Ampulex compressa (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae) is a solitary wasp that is widely known for its specialized hunting of cockroaches as larvae provision. Adult wasps mainly feed on pollen and nectar, while their larvae feed on the cockroachs’ body, first as ecto- and later as endoparsitoids. Little is known about the expression of digestive, detoxification and stress-response-related genes in the midgut of A. compressa, or about its transcriptional versatility between life stages. To identify gut-biased genes related to digestion, detoxification, and stress response, we explored the midgut transcriptome of lab-reared A. compressa, for both adults and larvae, by focusing on the top 100 significantly up- and down-regulated genes. From the top 100 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we identified 39 and 36 DEGs putatively related to digestion and detoxification in the adult wasps and larvae, respectively. The two carbohydrases alpha-glucosidase (containing an alpha-amylase domain) and glycosyl hydrolase family 31, as well as the two proteinases chymotrypsin and trypsin, revealed the highest gene diversity. We identified six significant DEGs related to detoxification, which comprise glutathione S-transferase, cytochrome P450s and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. The gene expression levels that were significantly expressed in both life stages vary strongly between life stages, as found in genes encoding for chymotrypsin and trypsin or glycosyl hydrolases family 31. The number of genes related to alpha-glucosidase, glycosyl hydrolase family 31, and cytochrome P450s was found to be similar across nine reference hymenopteran species, except for the identified glycosyl hydrolase family 31 gene, which was absent in all reference bee species. Phylogenetic analyses of the latter candidate genes revealed that they cluster together with their homologous genes found in the reference hymenopteran species. These identified candidate genes provide a basis for future comparative genomic and proteomic studies on (ontogenetic) dietary transitions in Hymenoptera.

Abstract:
AbstractInfection of Lacanobia oleracea(Linnaeus) larvae with the microsporidium Vairimorpha necatrix(Kramer) resulted in significant effects on the survival and development of the braconid parasitoid, Meteorus gyrator(Thunberg). Female M. gyrator did not show any avoidance of V. necatrix-infected hosts when they were selecting hosts for oviposition. When parasitism occurred at the same time as infection by the pathogen, or up to four days later, no significant detrimental effects on the parasitoid were observed. However, when parasitism occurred six to eight days after infection, a greater proportion(12.5–14%) of hosts died before parasitoid larvae egressed. Successful eclosion of adult wasps was also reduced. When parasitism and infection were concurrent, parasitoid larval development was significantly faster in infected hosts, and cocoons were significantly heavier. However, as the time interval between infection and parasitism increased, parasitoid larval development was significantly extended by up to two days, and the cocoons formed were significantly (c. 20%) smaller. Vairimorpha necatrix spores were ingested by the developing parasitoid larvae, accumulated in the occluded midgut, and were excreted in the meconium upon pupation.

Abstract:
Juglans nigra es una especie caduca de gran tamaño que puede alcanzar 18-27 m de altura y 61-91 cm de diámetro. Presenta un fuste recto y limpio, y una copa abierta y amplia. Desarrolla una pequeña copa cuando se encuentra en bosquetes, en situaciones abiertas esta es amplia, lo que muestra su intolerancia a la sombra. La corteza es delgada de color café claro cuando joven, pero empieza a oscurecerse cuando madura, con surcos profundos y delgados. El sistema radicular posee una raíz principal pivotante y raíces secundarias profundas. Presenta hojas alternadas y compuestas que miden entre 30 a 60 cm de largo, con 15-23 foliolos de 7,6 a 10,2 cm de longitud y 3-4 cm de ancho, aovado-lanceolados, finamente aserrados, de color amarillo verdoso, glabras en la cara superior y pubescentes en el envés. Su fruto es una nuez globosa de 3,8 a 5,0 cm de diámetro, que se encuentra solitaria o en racimos de 2 o 3; su cáscara es delgada de color amarillo verdoso, pubescente y la cubierta de la nuez es rugosa.
