약쑥( Artemisia princeps Pamp)의 항산화작용

Antioxidant properties of Artemisia princeps Pamp were determined using in vitro assay systems against 1,1-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, superoxide (O₂? ), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), hydroxyl radical (HO·) and nitric oxide (NO) radical, as well as rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation. Among the five solvent fractions, ethyl acetate fractions showed the highest total polyphenol and flavonoid contents at 311.35 ㎍/㎎ and 92.73 ㎍/㎎, respectively. Ethyl acetate fractions, except for H₂O₂ scavenging activity, also showed the highest scavenging activity; the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC 50 , ㎍/㎎) values for DPPH, superoxide, HO·and NO radical scavenging were 52.71, 26.47, 58.92 and 65.94, respectively. Additionally, the highest inhibition of rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation was observed by ethyl acetate fraction.
Effect of irrigation intervals and processing on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes on spray irrigated broccoli

The objective of this study was to determine the survival and growth over time of L. innocua, as surrogate organism to L. monocytogenes, on broccoli grown under field conditions after application of contaminated irrigation water at predetermined intervals. L. innocua numbers remained similar over intervals that received consecutive inoculations and L. innocua numbers decreased by at least 2.3 log cfu/g after inoculation ceased, which showed an inoculation effect and that time had an influence on organism survival. Cessation of irrigation before harvest was found to effectively reduce pathogen contamination levels on the crop, whilst repeated irrigation with contaminated water contributes to maintenance of L. innocua as well as elevated total microbial counts on the broccoli. A lack of significant correlation between the L. innocua counts and the recorded environmental temperatures in the field suggested that survival is not solely dependent on and influenced by, nor can it be predicted by these parameters. It was found that the presence of high levels of contamination in irrigation water used for vegetable crops, can be associated with an increased microbial population on the crop surface.
Rôle des cellules immunitaires et effets des cannabinoïdes dans la physiopathologie des maladies à prions

L’evenement moleculaire cle des maladies a prions est la conversion de la proteine prion cellulaire (PrPc) en une isoforme pathologique et resistance a la proteolyse, nommee (PrPres). La PrPres est responsable de la neuropathogenese et de la transmissibilite de la maladie. La recherche de molecules capables d’inhiber sa formation dans le cerveau est donc une strategie therapeutique envisageable. Le cannabidiol, compose non psycho-actif de Cannabis Sativa, inhibe l’accumulation de la PrPres aussi bien in vitro qu’in vivo et permet de prolonger significativement le temps de survie des souris infectees par les prions. De nombreuses etudes suggerent la participation des cellules immunes dans le transport de la PrPres. Grâce a un modele de depletion transitoire des cellules dendritiques, nous avons montre que ces cellules etaient impliquees dans le processus de lymphoinvasion apres une infection par voie intra-peritoneale mais pas par voie orale. La fonction physiologique de la PrPc est encore mal connue, en particulier dans le systeme immunitaire. La recherche de partenaires proteiques pourrait permettre de mieux comprendre le role de la PrPc. Des traceurs fluorescents composes de PrP recombinante ont ete produits et utilises pour caracteriser les sites de liaison de la PrPc dans les differentes populations de splenoctytes murins. La liaison des traceurs sur des lymphocytes B entraine l'activation de la voie des MAP kinase et l'elevation transitoire de la concentration calcique intracellulaire demontrant que la liaison de la PrPc a ses recepteurs est fonctionnelle. Le role physiologique de ces interactions et la nature moleculaire des recepteurs reste a etre determines.

The results suggest that the essential oH of L. chequen has antioxidant activity, due to structure of their chemical constituent.
Western Australian high school students' attitudes towards biotechnology processes

This study reports on the attitudes towards biotechnology of 905, 15–16 year-old students from 11 Western Australian schools. Students were asked to read 15 statements about biotechnology processes and to draw a line to separate what they considered ‘acceptable’ statements from those they considered ‘unacceptable’. Overall, the students hold a wide range of beliefs about what is an acceptable use of biotechnology. Their attitudes range from those of the 55 (6.0%) students who do not agree with the use of any living organisms in biotechnology to the 125 (14%) students who approve of all the stated uses of biotechnology, with a wide spread in between. Acceptance of the use of organisms in biotechnology decreases as we move from microorganisms (>90%approval) to plants (71–82%) to humans (42–45%) and animals (34–40%). The attitudes of 99 students who recently studied biotechnology and have a good understanding of the processes and issues were similar in percentage and spread to those who were less informed.
Comparative Assessment of Time-related GCS and FOUR Scores Evaluation in Predicting Outcome in TBI Patients

Background and purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a public health problem around the world. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Full Outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) score are the most common tools in this patients. This study aimed to assess time-related GCS and FOUR scores evaluation in predicting outcome in TBI patients. Materials and methods: The present prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 TBI patients admitted to an intensive care unit. GCS and FOUR scores were evaluated in four times, including the first hour, and then 24, 48, and 72 hours later. For the analysis of data, SPSS V. 22 and MedCalc v13 were used. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of GCS and FOUR score were evaluated to predict the patients' outcome. Patients' outcome was measured two weeks after hospitalization and for patients who were discharged earlier than this time the evaluation was done at the time of discharge using modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Results: Sensitivity and specificity of the FOUR score in predicting the outcomes were 80% and 84.4% at first stage, 83.6% and 92.2% at second stage, 83.2% and 92.2% at third stage, and 96.4% and 79.7% at fourth stage, respectively. These values for the GCS were 81.8% and 90.6% at first stage, 87.3% and 93.8% at second stage, 85.5% and 93.8% at third stage, and 87.3% and 93.8% at fourth stage, respectively Conclusion: Time-related GCS and FOUR scores evaluation did not have a considerable effect on predicting the outcome in this patients.
Role of health education in health promotion of school children and adolescents

Health Education is that branch of education which provides knowledge to keep our body healthy and increases possibility of healthy life. Health education teaches about physical, mental, emotional and social health. Schools are considered as temple of learning. Nowa -days health education is necessary in schools for young children and adolescents. In the era of modernization, it is necessary to impart compulsory health education through curriculum and other possible methods in which knowledge about various communicable and non-communicable diseases, modes of transmission, treatment, precautions, prevention, psychological counselling, physical deformities, personal hygiene, First aid, Control over obesity, healthy eating habits should be of prime importance. Injuries and rehabilitation process should be a part of curriculum. To include Health education in school curriculum is not sufficient. Special seminars, workshops, lectures and talks are needed to be organized to fulfil the aim of health education. Government of concerned states should make policy regarding health promotion in schools and allocation of funds. Under the guidelines of government Of India, HRD Ministry recently approached 2.75 lakhs direct consultations regarding health through vedio conferencing all over India to fulfil the aim of “some inputs for draft national education policy-2016” [1].
8 Viral Translational Strategies and Host Defense Mechanisms

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites or symbionts and depend on cells for their replication. Virus–cell interactions reflect this dependency as well as the efforts of the host to combat infection, and of the virus to counter host defenses. Because of the intimate nature of these relationships between the protagonists, the study of viruses continues to shed light on the detailed workings of host systems at a variety of levels. Viruses lack the enzymes and associated apparatus for conducting most metabolic and biosynthetic reactions. Instead, they rely on the cells that they infect to supply energy, chemicals, and most of the necessary biosynthetic machinery. Many viruses encode enzymes for nucleic acid biosynthesis, but—with the rare exceptions described below—they do not encode any part of the translational apparatus. They are therefore forced to make use of the cellular apparatus for the synthesis of one of their principal components. As a consequence, and because they can be manipulated with some ease, viral systems have historically provided penetrating insights into the workings of the protein synthetic machinery. Some landmark discoveries made with viruses are listed in Table 1. In their interactions with the host translation system, viruses do more than simply co-opt the cellular machinery, however. They have adopted regulatory mechanisms from their hosts and perhaps invented some of their own, although several seemingly unorthodox viral mechanisms are now recognized in the cells’ own repertoire. Nevertheless, it is difficult to avoid the impression that a greater range and diversity of tactics.

Egg quality guidelines for the Australian egg industry

Summary Studies were conducted to provide realistic commercial guidelines on egg internal quality and egg shell quality for the Australian Egg Industry. Eggs were obtained from commercial operations both from flocks that were followed throughout their laying life (“longitudinal studies”) and also from flocks that were sampled at only one age of bird from a flock but across a range of ages of flocks (“crosssectional studies”). Eggs were analysed for internal quality and egg shell quality as soon as possible after collection. The data collected indicate that there is considerable variation among flocks in egg and egg shell quality measurements, although there is little difference among the three main brown egg layer strains. However, consistent findings in relation to bird age were: an increase in egg weight and shell weight up to 45 and 40 weeks of age, respectively, after which these weights remained relatively constant, reduced shell colour, shell breaking strength, deformation, percentage shell, and reduced albumen height and Haugh Units. Both temperature and humidity influence the loss of weight from stored eggs whereas Haugh Units are affected mainly by temperature. Correlations were made between the laboratory measurements of egg and egg shell quality and the percentage cracks identified at a commercial grading facility.
Tospovirus(es) infecting grain legumes in Delhi - their identification by serology and nucleic acid hybridization

A survey for the presence of tospovirus infections on blackgram, cowpea, greengram and soybean fields at Delhi during August to October 1999 was carried out. Veinal necrosis, tip necrosis, stem, petiole and pod necrosis, and chlorotic lesions were the common symptoms observed in affected plants. Isolates induced chlorotic and necrotic lesions, and systemic infection in cowpea (cv. Pusa Komal) upon mechanical inoculation. Of the seven different tospovirus antisera tested against these isolates in direct antigen - coated ( DAC) - ELISA, positive reactions were seen only with groundnut bud necrosis virus ( GBNV) and watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMV). In nucleic acid hybridization tests, isolates hybridized only with nucleo- capsid protein (NP) gene of GBNV and not with NP gene of tomato spotted wilt virus ( TSWV). Non- reaction of soybean isolates with WSMV antiserum indicated antigenic variations among the isolates under study.
Effect of fenugreek on the growth of different genesis tumors

: This paper deals with antitumor properties of a fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum Graecum L.) as to the different genesis tumors--the Ca755 mouse mammary carcinoma and the Guerin's carcinoma in rats. Fenugreek powder was shown to inhibit (25-40 %) growth of certain tumors, decrease (27-63%) level of malone dialdehyde in liver, heart and kidney. Consumption of fenugreek was accompanied with decreased polyamines (spermine, spermidine, putrescine) content in tumor tissue. Inclusion of fenugreek to allowance was shown to improve certain blood value.
Probing vesicle dynamics within small synapses

Sustained synaptic transmission at the hippocampal synapse (O∼1 μm) requires continuous exocytosis and subsequent endocytosis of synaptic vesicles (O∼35 nm). The kinetics of this process have been widely studied, however, due to a lack of appropriate techniques, little is known about the mobility of small vesicles within the synapse. Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) was introduced by Jordan (2000) to study vesicle dynamics in resting synapses. This study is supplemented here with Monte-Carlo simulations to propose a quantitative model of vesicle mobility. Vesicle movement was found to be slow with a diffusion coefficient of 5 •10-5 μm2/s and restricted to a cage of ∼50 nm. The effects of disabling motor proteins and treatment with a phosphatase blocker on vesicle dynamics were also analyzed using simulations.Furthermore, the development of a single particle technique used to monitor single fluorescently labelled vesicles both, at rest and during stimulation of the synapse, is described. An automated algorithm identified single vesicles and tracked their movement in real-time. Vesicle mobility was studied in specific vesicle populations that differed in their mode of endocytosis from the plasma membrane. Results from the particle tracking and the FFS study were found to be in good agreement. Vesicle mobility was observed to increase, but was still slow during stimulation.Additionally, a theoretical investigation of the performance of single photon counting devices with dead-time for the task of single particle tracking was performed. A Maximum Likelihood based algorithm is presented which allows to determine the position of single subresolution fluorescent particles, and yields a precision higher than expected from the total number of photons collected with these detectors.

Nucleotide sequence polymorphism of the growth hormone gene in American mink (Neovison vison)

The nucleotide sequence variation of the American mink (Neovison vison) growth hormone gene was analysed. For this purpose 1,113 bp region of the mink genomic DNA, encompassing four exons and three introns of somatotmropin gene, was amplified by nested-PCR and sequenced. The study included 116 individuals of wild mink (Nova Scotia, Canada), ranch mink (Scanblack, Wild, Sapphire, Pearl, Black Cross and Sapphire Cross; West Pomerania, Poland) and feral mink (Poland and Iceland). Sequencing allowed to determine the nucleotide composition of previously unrecognized non-coding regions, as well as exons and to identify 12 new SNP substitutions, one single nucleotide deletion and one ins/del polymorphism. The average incidence of SNPs in coding sequences was equal to 1/156.6 bp and in non-coding – 1/86.9 bp. Analysis of the observed number and location of substitutions revealed its non-random distribution and significant preponderance of transitions over transversions. The results also revealed a significant differences between originally wild mink and domesticated animals (both ranch and feral) in identified SNPs type and distribution. The results of the present study, supported by further analysis, can help in effective genetic monitoring of feral mink, as some differences were also found between ranch and feral mink.
