Length 17.0–20.0 mm, width 8.5–9.7 mm. The female differs from male by the less developed clypeal tubercle and the weaker protibial teeth.</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. Only known from type locality: Sela, Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, India (Fig. 15).</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The name <i>tawangensis</i> refers to the type locality of this species, the Tawang district of the state of Arunachal Pradesh.</p> <p> <b>Differential diagnosis.</b> <i>Odontotrypes</i> (<i>Odontotrupes</i>) <i>tawangensis</i> new species is distinguished from the closely related species <i>O</i>. (<i>O</i>.) <i>orichalceus</i> (reported from the Tibetan Plateau of Sikkim) by the unique structure of the aedeagus (Figs. 11–13, 16–17) (right paramere with distinct internal truncate appendix situated subapically and directed inward) and the structure of the elytra (elytral striae are distinct basally, becoming more shallowly apically), and the well-developed metathoracic wings. Based on the keys given by Král <i>et al.</i> (2001) <i>Odontotrypes</i> (<i>O.</i>) <i>tawangensis</i> should be classified in the subgenus <i>Odontotrupes</i>. Species of this subgenus that are distributed in Bhutan and India characteristically have slightly reduced or normal-sized metathoracic wings, namely <i>O.</i> (<i>O.</i>) <i>bhutan</i>, <i>O.</i> (<i>O.</i>) <i>gogona</i>, <i>O.</i> (<i>O.</i>) <i>orichalceus</i>, and <i>O.</i> (<i>O.</i>) <i>tawangensis</i>. According to Král <i>et al.</i> (2001) the distribution ranges of <i>Odontotrypes</i> are relatively small, many of them being endemic to single mountain systems, separated by deep river valleys.</p> <p>The authors wish to thank the director of the Zoological Survey of India, for providing them with the necessary facilities and for his encouragements. The first author is thankful to Paul Schoolmeesters (Belgium) for literature, Baiju Lal (former Officer-in-Charge, Coleoptera Section, Zoological Survey of India), Amitava Mujumder, and Joyjit Ghosh.

The role of inflammation in lymphoma
No full textHuman lymphomas usually develop in specialized tissue microenvironments characterized by different populations of accessory stromal and lymphoid cells that interact with malignant cells. A clinical role of the tumor microenvironment has recently emerged, bringing new knowledge and suggesting new ideas and targets for treatment. This chapter analyzes the microenvironment in human lymphomas highlighting the role of inflammation in their pathogenesis. Microenvironmental specificity is detailed according to different models including classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), follicular lymphoma (FL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL)
Radio sources in the Chandra Galactic Bulge Survey
No full textWe discuss radio sources in the Chandra Galactic Bulge Survey region. By cross-matching the X-ray sources in this field with the NRAO VLA Sky Survey archival data, we find 12 candidate matches. We present a classification scheme for radio/X-ray matches in surveys taken in or near the Galactic plane, taking into account other multiwavelength data. We show that none of the matches found here is likely to be due to coronal activity from normal stars because the radio to X-ray flux ratios are systematically too high. We show that one of the source could be a radio pulsar, and that one could be a planetary nebula, but that the bulk of the sources are likely to be background active galactic nuclei (AGN), with many confirmed through a variety of approaches. Several of the AGN are bright enough in the near-infrared (and presumably in the optical) to use as probes of the interstellar medium in the inner Galaxy

No full textMoringin, an isothiocyanate improves the susceptibility of breast cancer cells to doxorubicin
No full textBackground: Breast cancer has become the most frequent tumor worldwide and is expected to have a large impact on cancer fatalities globally. Thus, the development of precise molecular diagnosis and prognosis is essential for the effective treatment of breast cancer patients. Doxorubicin (DOXO) is the widely accepted chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of breast cancer. However, the primary challenge with current chemotherapy drugs is their toxic effects on healthy tissues. Moringin (MG), an Isothiocyanate (ITC) is produced from the seeds of Moringa oleifera. It is produced from the myrosinase-catalyzed hydrolysis of glucomoringin. Chemosensitization is a strategy used in cancer treatment to make cancerous cells more responsive to chemotherapeutic drugs. A chemosensitizing drug is used in therapy to reduce the doses of potential anticancer drugs, tackle the resistance of cancer cells to these treatments, prevent healthy cells from toxicity, and decrease side effects for patients. In this study, we investigated the potential of MG alone and in conjunction with DOXO against breast cancer cells.
Methods: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines were used in the investigation. The chemo-sensitization experiments of MG, both alone and in combination with DOXO, were investigated by using the MTT and colony formation assay. Apoptosis was examined by using the AO/PI dual staining, cell cycle analysis, and mitochondrial membrane potential measurement. Expression of cell survival proteins was assessed through semi-quantitative PCR and western blotting. Expression of long non-coding RNAs was performed by qRT-PCR.
Results: The MTT and clonogenic assay results revealed the anti-proliferative potential of MG both alone and in combination of DOXO. The expression of proteins involved in cell survival (PARP, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Survivin) is also downregulated in combination compared to individual drug. We observed an increase in the sub-G1 and S-phase population in MG and DOXO (both individual as well in combination). However, the G1 and G2/M population was slightly decreased with MG and DOXO (both individual as well in combination). The expression of oncogenic lncRNAs such as H19, HOTAIR and NKILA, were reduced and the expression of tumor suppressor genes such as MEG3, GAS5 and MALAT1 was increased.
Conclusions: Taken together, results of this study provide evidence that, MG in breast cancer cell lines increases the susceptibility of breast cancer cells to DOXO
