Authors: F. Brukhanskyi Ruslan , Yazlyuk Borys , A. Bincharovska Tetiana
Published: June 2018

Unique nature of land resources determines the specifics of constructing a land management and registration system, which includes accumulation, systematization, processing and analysis of economic information about their quantitative, qualitative, monetary and legal data in the state. The economic, social, and ecological safety of the state and living standards of the population depend on the effective land use. Consequently, there is a need for continuous improvement of the regulatory and legislative framework, development of a methodology for land registration and fixing land accounting operations. The article deals with the current state and problems of the development of synthetic and analytical registration of land resources in Ukraine. The variability of the representation of land relations in the accounting system is also considered. The current system of agricultural land registration in Ukraine does not allow to reflect the full range of characteristics of land plots for external and internal users in order to profit and increase the investment attractiveness of enterprises. It is established that reliable and accurate assessment and registration of land plots have significant influence on the agricultural enterprise position.

Authors: Lu Weiwei , Wu Juan , Li Zhu , Cui Naxin , Cheng Shuiping
Published: June 2018

Tail water from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) serves as a major supplementary water source for scenic water bodies, whose water quality is one of the major focuses of public and scientific inquiries. This study investigated the temporal and spatial variations in water quality of Tangxihe River, a eutrophic urban river receiving tail water from a nearby WWTP in Hefei City, using the single-factor index (SFI) and principal component analysis (PCA). The results of SFI indicated that the most important parameters responsible for low water quality were total nitrogen (TN) and ammonia (NH4+-N). PCA showed that tail water from the WWTP greatly reduced water quality, as demonstrated by the significantly increased SFIs and integrated principal component values (F values) of the sampling points around the drain outlet of the WWTP (T3, T4 and T5). The sampling points located at the upstream of the river (T1) and up the water-gate of Chaohu Lake (T6) had negative F values, indicating relatively higher water quality. In addition, the season had a significant effect on the water quality of the river. Moreover, we discuss measures to improve the water quality of urban rivers in order to maintain their ecological functions.
An Update on MDMX and Dual MDM2/X Inhibitors
Authors: Espadinha Margarida , Barcherini Valentina , Lopes Elizabeth A. , Santos Maria M.M.
Published: June 2018

The tumor suppressor protein p53 is inactivated in all types of human cancers, either by
negative regulation, by mutation or deletion of its gene. Specifically, in tumors that retain wild-type
(wt) p53 status, p53 is inactivated by interaction with negative regulators, such as MDM2 and MDMX.
These two proteins are found to be overexpressed in several different types of cancers, and the restoration
of p53 activity by inhibition of these proteins is now considered an important approach for cancer
treatment. The first studies using this strategy to reactivate wt p53 were focused on the development of
small molecules that could inhibit MDM2. In this way, p53 could be liberated and act again as a tumor
suppressor. From these studies, nine small molecules have reached clinical trials. More recently,
MDMX was also identified as an important therapeutic target to efficiently reactivate wt p53, and it is
now considered that, for full p53 reactivation, dual inhibition of MDM2 and MDMX is required. In this
review we will focus on the most recent advances in the discovery of novel small molecules and stapled
peptides that act as selective MDMX inhibitors or as dual MDM2/X inhibitors.
Onion and Garlic Extracts Potentiate the Efficacy of Conventional Antibiotics against Standard and Clinical Bacterial Isolates
Authors: Mahomoodally Fawzi , Ramcharun Simla , Zengin Gokhan
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Onion (Allium cepa L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.) extracts are traditionally
used in many cultures as antimicrobial agents. Nonetheless, there is still a dearth of scientific validation
pertaining to the antibacterial and possible antibiotic potentiating activity of these plants.

Methods:

Decoction as traditionally used and methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and acetone extracts of
onion and garlic were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against 15 bacterial strains (6 ATCC
strains and 9 clinical isolates) using the broth microdilution method to establish the minimum inhibitory
concentration. The bacteriostatic and bactericidal actions were determined as compared to conventional
antibiotics (streptomycin and chloramphenicol). Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) was determined
to establish any synergistic interaction between the extracts and antibiotics using a modified
checkerboard assay.

Results:

The ethyl acetate extract of garlic showed bactericidal effect against 1 ATCC (E. coli) and 2
clinical isolates. Streptomycin produced only indifferent effect (FIC 1< and ≤ 4) when combined with
ethyl acetate extract of onion. Chloramphenicol showed synergism with ethyl acetate extract of onion
against ATCC S. aureus (FIC 0.27-0.30) and Micrococci species (FIC 0.27-0.32). Streptomycin showed
mostly antagonism whereas chloramphenicol showed synergism effects with the ethyl acetate extract of
garlic. The observed antibacterial activity might be justified due to the presence of high concentration of
phenolic compounds in the extracts.

Conclusion:

This study has provided an opportunity to establish valuable baseline information on the
antibiotic potentiating activity of onion and garlic which can be further exploited for the treatment
and/or management of infectious diseases.

Published: June 2018

Background:

Triflusal has demonstrated an efficacy similar to aspirin in the prevention of
vascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction (ΜΙ) and ischaemic stroke but with less
bleeding events.

Objective:

We performed a randomised, multicentre, phase 4 clinical trial to compare the clinical efficacy
and safety of triflusal versus aspirin, administered for 12 months in patients eligible to receive a
cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitor.

Methods:

Patients with stable coronary artery disease or with a history of non-cardioembolic ischaemic
stroke were randomly assigned to receive either triflusal 300 mg twice or 600 mg once daily or aspirin
100 mg once daily for 12 months. The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite of: (a) ΜΙ, (b)
stroke (ischaemic or haemorrhagic), or, (c) death from vascular causes for the entire follow-up period.
The primary safety endpoints were the rate of bleeding events as defined by Bleeding Academic Research
Consortium (BARC) criteria.

Results:

At 12-month follow-up, an equivalent result was revealed between the triflusal (n=559) and
aspirin (n=560) in primary efficacy endpoint. Specifically, the combined efficacy outcome rate (i.e. MI,
stroke or death from vascular causes) difference was equal to -1.3% (95% confidence interval -1.1 to
3.5) and lied within the a-priori defined equivalence interval (p<0.001). Regarding the primary safety
endpoints, patients on triflusal treatment were 50% less likely to develop bleeding events according to
the BARC criteria, and especially any clinically overt sign of haemorrhage that requires diagnostic studies,
hospitalisation or special treatment (BARC type 2).

Conclusion:

The efficacy of triflusal in the secondary prevention of vascular events is similar to aspirin
when administered for 12 months. Importantly, triflusal significantly reduced the incidence of ΜΙ and
showed a better safety profile compared with aspirin.

Intestinal CD4 Depletion in HIV / SIV Infection
Authors: Veazey Ronald S.
Published: June 2018

Among the most significant findings in the pathogenesis of HIV infection was the discovery that almost total depletion of intestinal CD4+ T cells occurs rapidly after SIV or HIV infection, regardless of the route of exposure, and long before CD4+ T cell losses occur in blood or lymph nodes. Since these seminal discoveries, we have learned much about mucosal and systemic CD4+ T cells, and found several key differences between the circulating and intestinal CD4+ T cell subsets, both in phenotype, relative proportions, and functional capabilities. Further, specific subsets of CD4+ T cells are selectively targeted and eliminated first, especially cells critically important for initiating primary immune responses, and for maintenance of mucosal integrity (Th1, Th17, and Th22 cells). This simultaneously results in loss of innate immune responses, and loss of mucosal integrity, resulting in mucosal, and systemic immune activation that drives proliferation and activation of new target cells throughout the course of infection. The propensity for the SIV/HIV to infect and efficiently replicate in specific cells also permits viral persistence, as the mucosal and systemic activation that ensues continues to damage mucosal barriers, resulting in continued influx of target cells to maintain viral replication. Finally, infection and elimination of recently activated and proliferating CD4+ T cells, and infection and dysregulation of Tfh and other key CD4+ T cell results in hyperactive, yet non-protective immune responses that support active viral replication and evolution, and thus persistence in host tissue reservoirs, all of which continue to challenge our efforts to design effective vaccine or cure strategies.
Mechanisms Enhancing the Cytotoxic Effects of Bleomycin plus Suicide or Interferon-β Gene Lipofection in Metastatic Human Melanoma Cells
Authors: Fondello Chiara , Agnetti Lucrecia , Glikin Gerardo C. , Finocchiaro Liliana M.E.
Published: June 2018

Background:

Three metastatic human melanoma cell lines generated from patient removed lymph
nodes and spleen metastasis were established in our laboratory.

Objective:

To investigate the mechanisms enhancing the cytotoxic effects of Bleomycin (BLM), herpes simplex
virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir Suicide Gene (SG) and human interferon-β gene (hIFNβ) lipofection in early
passages of these melanoma cell lines.

Methods:

In these cell lines, we determined: cytotoxicity, bystander effect, lipofection efficiencies, apoptosis,
necrosis, senescence, colony forming capacity and mitochondrial membrane depolarization after treatments.

Results:

The three assayed cell lines displayed sensitivity to single and combined BLM/gene treatments. BLM
improved the antitumor and anti-clonogenic effects of SG and hIFNβ genes. Considering the low lipofection
efficiencies (<10%), one of the main causes of the SG and hIFNβ gene effectiveness was their bystander effect.
In one of these cell lines, this effect eradicated up to 60% of the cells although <1% expressed the transgene. In the
three cell lines, BLM alone or combined with SG or hIFNβ gene significantly increased the percentage of cells
exhibiting membrane compromise, DNA damage, and senescence. Interestingly, the strong BLM/hIFNβ gene
combination was able to generate from 73% to 98% of non-viable cells. The high proportion of senescent cells
induced by BLM alone or combined with genes strongly decreased the clonogenic capacity of surviving cells.

Conclusion:

The presented results indicate that BLM improves the antitumor effects of SG and hIFNβ transgene
expression. Altogether, these findings strongly support the clinical potential of these combined approaches.
Peniciketal A, A Novel Spiroketal Compound, Exerts Anticancer Effects by Inhibiting Cell Proliferation, Migration and Invasion of A549 Lung Cancer Cells
Authors: Gao Xue , Zhou Yuming , Zheng Xiaoqi , Sun Hongliu , Zhang Jing , Liu Weizhong , Pan Xiaohong
Published: June 2018

Background:

Peniciketal A (Pe-A) is a spiroketal compound isolated from saline soil-derived fungus
Penicillium raistrickii. However, its role for biological processes has not been clarified. In this study, we for the
first time investigated the anticancer effects and the underlying mechanisms of Pe-A in A549 lung cancer cells.

Metheds:

Cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay and colony formation assay. Flow cytometry was performed
to examine the cell cycle, apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential. Invasion and migration were
analyzed using transwell assay and wound healing analysis. Immunofluorescence staining and western blotting
were used to evaluate the protein expression.

Results:

Pe-A effectively inhibited proliferation, with IC50 values was 22.33 μM for 72 h. Mechanistic studies
revealed that Pe-A caused cell cycle arrest at the G0-G1 phase by decreasing cyclinD1 expression and induced
apoptosis through accelerating the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Moreover, Pe-A significantly inhibited
A549 cell migration and invasion by reducing the protein levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9, while the Epithelial-
Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) property was also changed. Importantly, Pe-A exhibited much lower toxicity
towards L02, normal liver cells, and MRC5, normal fibroblast cells, compared to A549 cells.

Conclusion:

Collectively, the current results indicate that Pe-A may offer effective potentials and insights for
lung cancer treatment and drug design.

LA ORQUESTA ENTRA EN LA ESCUELA. “IN CRESCENDO”: LUCES Y SOMBRAS DE UN ENCUENTRO PROMETEDOR
Authors: Valles del Pozo María José
Published: June 2018

En 2010 el Área Socioeducativa de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León y el colegio Antonio Allué Morer de Valladolid pusieron en marcha un proyecto educativo basado en la práctica musical. La iniciativa, pionera en España en el contexto de la educación pública, surgió con el principal objetivo de fomentar valores de convivencia armónica e integración en una población escolar en situación socioeconómica desfavorecida y en riesgo de exclusión social. El desarrollo del proyecto ha permitido constatar los importantes beneficios que un planteamiento diferente puede aportar a la educación general y a la vez poner de manifiesto las dificultades que ello conlleva en el sistema educativo actual.
Este artículo pretende analizar algunas cuestiones derivadas de la colaboración entre diferentes instituciones en la labor educativa. Aspectos políticos, administrativos, de organización escolar por un lado, y por otro la consideración social de la música y su lugar en el currículo escolar, llevan a reflexionar sobre el sentido de la educación básica tal como es en la actualidad y el acceso a ella por parte de determinados colectivos.
