  The fauna of Ichneumonidae was studied during 2011 to 2012 in the centeral area of Mazandaran province. In this study Malaise trap, Window trap, Yellow & White Pan trap, Light trap and Sweeping net were used for collecting. A total of 13 species belonging  to 11 Genera and  8 subfamilies were collected and identified. The identification  were confirmed by Prof. Mehmet Faruk Gurbuz and Dr. Kees Zwakhals. The specimens were deposited at Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of Mazandaran,Sari and Entomology Department, Agricultural facultyof Arak University. Five species are new records for Iranian insect fauna which indicated by an asterisk. The following species were collected:   Anomalon cruentatum(Geoffray,1785) (Anomaloninae) Tromatobia oculatoria(Fabricius, 1798)* (Pimplinae) Liotryphon caudatus(Ratzeburg, 1848) (Pimplinae) Pimpla spuria(Gravenhorst, 1829) (Pimplinae) Clistopyga rufator(Holmgren,1856) (Pimplinae) Tryphon atriceps(Stephens, 1835) (Tryphoninae) Syrphoctonus sp. ( Thomson, 1890)*(Diplazontinae) Lissonota clypeator(Gravenhorst,1820)* (Banchinae) Lissonota  fundator (Gravenhorst,1820)* (Banchinae) Lissonota  versicolor (Gravenhorst,1820)* (Banchinae) Collyria coxator(Villers, 1789) (Collyrinae) Mesochorus sp.

  Skeletal muscle resorption is caused by the biosynthesis of new structures involved in the muscle contraction in terms of the increased skeletal muscle cross-sectional area, which is recognized as one of the major muscle changes as a result of exercise. This study aimed to investigate the response of mTOR and AKT proteins to distinct eccentric and concentric resistance training in healthy subjects. Ten healthy men were randomly divided into two groups (5 patients in the eccentric group - 5 in eccentric group). Isokinetic contraction protocols included eccentric and concentric knee extension with maximum power and angular velocity of 60 degrees per second. The torques assigned to each subject were assumed to match the workload in both protocols, with a rotational speed of 60 degrees per second. Contractions consisted of a maximum of 12 sets of 10 repetitions for the right leg, a rest time of 30 seconds between each set. At the beginning and end of the study, biopsy of the lateral broad muscle tissue was performed. A biopsy was performed in both distal and proximal directions of lateral flat muscle. Tissue analysis using immunocytochemistry was used to assess the expression of mTOR and AKT proteins in each group. A dependent t-test and a covariance test were used to assess the data. For data analysis, SPSS21 and Exell 2013 software were utilized. The findings indicated that after one session of exercise, intra-group increases in mTOR and AKT proteins were significant in both eccentric and concentric groups (p ≤0.05).However, the inter-group changes of mTOR and AKT proteins showed no difference between two groups. In general, the present study showed that a session of eccentric and concentric activity leads to changes in the factors involved in skeletal muscle strength and hypertrophy. Besides, these changes in aggregate eccentric contraction are more than concentric. Manuscript profile

  The purpose of this study was to evaluate the response of mTOR/P70S6K myokines to eccentric and concentric physical activity in healthy young men. 10 healthy men were randomly divided into each group (concentric group of 5 people - eccentric group of 5 people). Isokinetic contraction protocols included eccentric and concentric knee extensions with a maximum strength and angular velocity of 60 °/s. The torques set for each subject were considered the same in order to match the load in both protocols and the reciprocating speed was 60 degrees per second. At the beginning and end of the study, a biopsy was performed of lateral extensor muscle tissue. Real Time PCR technique was used to evaluate the expression of mTOR/P70S6K gene. To analyze the data of this study, dependent t-test and analysis of covariance were used at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the changes within the mTOR group were significant in the concentric group but not significant in the eccentric group. Also, the intragroup changes of P70S6K in the eccentric and concentric groups were not significant (P≥0.05). Also, intergroup changes showed no difference between the two groups in both variables (P≥0.05). It seems that the lack of significant changes in the desired variables is due to the lack of sufficient training pressure to stimulate the increase of mTOR/P70S6K. And according to the review of the answer, it seems that in the discussion of compatibility, different results are obtained that need to be examined. Manuscript profile
