25kg/m2. Routine laboratory analysis and identification of stool L. acidophilus by quantitative realtime PCR technique was performed for all enrolled subjects. Lactobacillus acidophilus was expressedin 21/40 (52.5%) fecal samples of obese cases and 16/20 (80%) of fecal samples of nonobeseones. In rest of samples in both groups, the expression was below the detection limit. Theresults showed that the mean lactobacilli CT was expressed in obese cases (38.89±2.57) comparedto (36.08±4.63) in non-obese cases, with high significant difference (P =0.04). Lactobacillusacidophilus was significantly lowered in obese Egyptian patients. The argument aboutsignificance correlation between imbalance in gut microbiota and obesity is one of the hot topicsin medicine.]]>

stage, attached to the seabed, may be much more long-lived. Jellyfish have been in existence forat least 500 million years, and possibly 700 million years or more, making them the oldest multiorgananimal group. They are eaten by humans in certain cultures, being considered a delicacyin some Asian countries, where species in the Rhizostomae order are pressed and salted to removeexcess water. They are also used in research, where the green fluorescent protein, used bysome species to cause bioluminescence, has been adapted as a fluorescent marker for genes insertedinto other cells or organisms. Stinging cells used by jellyfish to subdue their prey can alsoinjure them. Many thousands of swimmers are stung every year, with effects ranging from milddiscomfort to serious injury or even death; small box jellyfish are responsible for many deaths.]]>

(p < 0.001). 100% mortality rate of larvae occurred on the 4th day at 3, 5, &7mg/ml of myrrh crudeextract, on the 7th day with volatile oil while total larval death occurred on the 1st day of exposurein to 5, 10, 15 & 20μg/ml of albendazole. In vitro exposure to sublethal dose of albendazole,crude myrrh extract and volatile oil extract resulted in infectivity reduction by 100%, 98%& 88% respectively in intestinal phase and 100%, 98% &59% respectively in muscular phase.]]>

for 2 years was done to compare results of Pyeloplasty to watchful follow-up. Electron microscopystudy of UPJ segment of equivocal UPJO and the normal control cases showed similarfindings with proper arrangement of smooth muscle fibers that were in close contact to eachother, without fibroblast imposed between muscle bundles, and few collagen fibers were found.Clinical evaluation of results of pyeloplasty or watchful follow-up in equivocal UOJO in adultsshowed stable radiological findings, stable split renal function and diuretic renogram. In thewatchful follow-up group 12% of cases required pyeloplasty, indication for pyeloplasty wererepeated urinary tract infection, intolerable recurrent pain. The clinical series supported by ultrastructurefindings showed that watchful follow-up of equivocal UPJO was an accepted treatmentoption.]]>
