Neuroleptic malignant syndrome: Mechanisms, interactions, and causality
Authors: Gillman P. Ken
Published: July 2010

This review focuses on new data from recent publications concerning how compounding interactions between different thermoregulatory pathways influence the development of hyperthermia and/or neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), and the fundamental issue of the presumed causal role of antipsychotic drugs. The formal criteria for substantiating cause‐effect relationships in medical science, established by Hill, are applied to NMS and, for comparison, also to malignant hyperthermia and serotonin toxicity. The risk of morbidities related to hyperthermia is reviewed from human and experimental data: temperatures in excess of 39.5°C cause physiological and cellular dysfunction and high mortality. The most temperature‐sensitive elements of neural cells are mitochondrial and plasma membranes, in which irreversible changes occur around 40°C. Temperatures of up to 39°C are “normal” in mammals, so, the term hyperthermia should be reserved for temperatures of 39.5°C or greater. The implicitly accepted presumption that NMS is a hypermetabolic and hyperthermic syndrome is questionable and does not explain the extensive morbidity in the majority of cases, where the temperature is less than 39°C. The thermoregulatory effects of dopamine and acetylcholine are outlined, especially because they are probably the main pathways by which neuroleptic drugs might affect thermoregulation. It is notable that even potent antagonism of these mechanisms rarely causes temperature elevation and that multiple mechanisms, including the acute phase response, stress‐induced hyperthermia, drugs effects, etc., involving compounding interactions, are required to precipitate hyperthermia. The application of the Hill criteria clearly supports causality for drugs inducing both MH and ST but do not support causality for NMS. © 2010 Movement Disorders Society

On the Fauna of Bruchidae of Mongolia (Coleoptera, Chrysomeloidea)

143 specimens of Bruchidae, collected in 1964, 1978, 1979 and 1983 by means of yellow dishes and hoop‐nets in the Mongolian People's Republic, have been studied. 7 species representing 3 genera have been recorded for the first time in Mongolia. Out of the 30 species and 4 varieties of the family Bruchidae hitherto recorded from the MPR, 5 species and 3 varieties are endemic, 8 species and 1 variety of eurasiatic and 17 species of centralasiatic distribution. The species collected and the subfamilies Rhaebinae and Kytorhininae are characterised here.
Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Branchiopoden‐ und Copepodenfauna der Mongolei
Authors: Flössner Dietrich
Published: July 2010

Contribution to the Knowledge of the Branchiopod and Copepod Fauna of Mongolia

One species of Anostraca, 25 species of Cladocera and 19 species of Copepoda are reported, mainly from the eastern Khangai mountains, the Tola valley near Ulan‐Bator, and the Khentei mountains. One subspecies, Arctodiaptomus rectispinosus mongolicus, is new to science. An important fraction of species in the present collection had not yet been recorded from Mongolia. The relations between Daphnia longispina O. F. MÜLLER, 1785 and Daphnia rosea SARS,1862,Simocephalus vetulus (O. F. MÜLLER, 1776) and Simocephalus vetuloides SARS, 1898 are discussed. Due to hydrochemical factors, to trophic and climatic conditions most of the sampled localities can be divided into two groups: those of the mountainous steppe zone with high contents of nutrients and electrolytes and those situated in the northern montainous forest steppe zone which are more or less acidic and poor in nutrients and electrolytes. This is also reflected by the fauna composition.

Authors: Haniffa M. A. , Devaraj M. , Murugesan A. G. , Punitham M. Thomas
Published: July 2010

The toxic effects of caffeine, dimilin and thiourea on the pupae and adults of the silkworm Bombyx mori were investigated till postoviposition period. Regarding mortality, caffeine was found to be the most toxic and dimilin the least toxic while thiourea was intermediate. Exposure to the toxicants caused a dose dependent increase in pupal weight with the maximum in thiourea. Maximum decrease in adult body weight of male and female was noticed in B. mori treated with dimilin followed by caffeine and thiourea. Thiourea treatment was also the most effective by producing a drastic decrease in egg production in all combinations.

Immunologische Untersuchungen zur Verwandtschaft zwischen den mitteleuropäischen Wasserfröschen des Rana kl. esculenta Synkleptons (Amphibia, Anura) und anderen Anuren‐Taxa
Authors: Plötner Jörg , Günther Rainer , Schade Rüdiger
Published: July 2010

Immunological Investigations on Relationships between Central European Water Frogs of the Rana kl. esculenta Synklepton and other Anuran Taxa

Antigenic relationships between the Central European water frogs (Rana lessonae, Rana ridibunda and Rana kl. esculenta) and other anuran taxa were analysed by crossed‐immunoelectrophoresis. The closest connection exists between the water frogs and other Ranidae in the sequence Rana clamitans, Rana arvalis, Rana temporaria and Pyxicephalus adspersus. As a rule 50% of the plasm proteins showed cross‐reactions with the water frog antiserum. Furthermore, a high degree of antigenic relationship (40–45%) was also recognized for Hyperolius marmoratus (family Hyperoliidae) and Rhacophorus leucomystax (family Rhacophoridae). The plasm samples of the investigated Hylidae (Hyla arborea, Hyla septentrionalis, Smilisca baudinii), Bufonidae (Bufo bufo, Bufo calamita, Bufo marinus) and Dendrobatidae (Dendrobates auratus) reacted in a relatively uniform manner with the water frog antisera. On the average, four peaks were observed, which correspond to an antigenic relatedness of 18%. The Pelobatidae (Pelobates fuscus, Pelobates syriacus), Discoglossidae (Discoglossus sardus, Bombina bombina, Bombina variegata) and Pipidae (Pipa carvalhoi, Xenopus laevis) showed only little relations to the water frogs. In these species the observed degree of relationship ranged between 4.5 and 13.4%, whereas a relatively high intrafamily variation appeared.

Reproductive Performance of Earias vittella (F.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Held in an Environment Containing Normal or Extracted Nerium Flower
Authors: Dass Ivan J. , Singh Raghvendra P. , Krishna S. S.
Published: July 2010

A pronounced shoot‐up in egg output and egg viability occurred in Earias vittella when flowers of nerium plant (Thevetia nerifolium) were kept in their breeding environment. However, there was a significant decline in the reproductive potential of the females if these flowers were previously extracted with 100% ethanol. The implications of these interesting findings are discussed in relation to changes in the chemical ecology of the reproducing moths brought about by the possible existence of certain ethanol‐soluble volatile allelo‐chemicals in nerium flowers.

Bionomics of Trioxys indicus Subba Rao & Sharma, an Aphidiid Parasitoid of Aphis craccivora Koch. 23. Factors Associated with Host‐Stage Preference
Authors: Singh Rajendra , Pandey Ranjan K.
Published: July 2010

The third instar nymphs of the host Aphis craccivora are a highly acceptable stage for the parasitoid Trioxys indicus possibly because this stage emanates more amount of host‐seeking stimulants and has more amount of food for supporting the proper development of the parasitoid larvae. Hardness of the host cuticle and defense mechanism of IV instar host have little impact.

Ecological Examination of the “Tullbergia krausbaueri” Morphospecies Group (Insecta: Collembola)

Up to 1960 “Tullbergia krausbaueri (BÖRNER, 1901)” was understood to be only one good species. At present, this complex comprehends 8 genera with alltogether 43 species within the palearctic region, most being parthenogenetic. Ecological examinations of some of these morphospecies were made with regard to sympatric occurrence, soil layer preference, reactions on disturbances of soil ecosystems and stability of populations in time. The results confirm the morphologically defined species to be true biospecies.
Adaptationsmuster hermatypischer Korallen als Grundlage zum Verständnis der Korallenriffgenese (Kompensationstheorie)
Authors: Kühlmann Dietrich H. H.
Published: July 2010

Adaptation Patterns in Hermatypic Corals as a Basis for Understanding the Coral Reef Genesis (Compensatory Theory)

Existing coral reef theories fail to explain the origin of all types of coral reefs, because biological aspects are insufficiently considered. However, biological factors, especially metabolism of symbiotic, hermatypic corals are among the most important in the construction of coral reefs, despite the importance of geological, palaeoclimatic and hydrographic features. Of the different ways of feeding, the autotrophic one is the most effective for corals living in shallow waters. The intracellular cycling of metabolic products of host and symbiont uses the minimum of energy, leaving more energy available for growth, reproduction and production of calcium carbonate. Adaptation to different environmental factors by corals at different depths leads to the power of the hermatypic corals to compensate for oscillations of sea floor and relative sea level. Therefore, the biologic complex is the central point in understanding the origin of coral reefs. Because of the adaptational peculiarity of corals and their ability to compensate for environmental alterations, this proposal is called the coral reef theory of compensation. The model is valid for all reef types of all coral reef regions.

Gitanopsilis (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Gammaridea), eine neue Amphilochiden‐Gattung aus dem Sublitoral der König‐Georg‐Insel (Südshetlandinseln)
Authors: Rauschert Martin
Published: July 2010

Gitanopsilis (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Gammaridea), a New Amphilochid Genus from the Sublittoral of King George Island (South Shetland Islands)

In the sublittoral of King Georg Island we found the family Amphilochidae present in two genera, altogether with four species. The algae living species Gitanopsis squamosa (THOMSON, 1880) is very common in the shallow water. In depth of about 100 m we collected two very rare species: Gitanopsis denticulata sp. n. and G. fucatosquamosa sp. n. Every species was caught only at one station. Some characters of a fourth species made it essential to erect the new genus Gitanopsilis. Gitonopsilis amissio nov. gen. et spes. is a rather rare species. It could only be collected at 7 stations in the deeper sublittoral from depths of 45 to 150 m at rocky bottom with mud, and also from muddy bottom. It seems that it occurs in the deeper grounds in patches with high populations. This new species is closely related to Gitanopsis simplex SCHELLENBERG, 1926. Therefore, the systematic position of the species of SCHELLENBERG had to be revised. New genus and species are described and their systematic position is discussed.

Systematic Studies on Diplocentrus keyserlingii and Related Species from Central Oaxaca, Mexico (Scorpiones, Diplocentridae)
Authors: Sissom W. David
Published: July 2010

The systematic status of several species of Diplocentrus is revised, based on the examination of type specimens and other material of D. keyserlingii KARSCH, D. rectimanus POCOCK, D. reticulatus FRANCKE, D. hoffmanni FRANCKE, and D. moritzi STAHNKE. Previously utilized taxonomic characters (general morphology, meristics, and morphometrics) separating these species are reviewed and new characters based on the male hemispermatophore discussed. Evaluation of the characters provide evidence to recognize only three species in this group. The following synomymies are proposed: D. keyserlingii KARSCH, 1880 = D. reticulatus FRANCKE, 1977 and D. rectimanus POCOCK, 1898 = D. moritzi STAHNKE, 1981. In addition, the female of D. keyserlingii is described for the first time, the status of HOFFMANN's D. keyserlingii keyserlingii is discussed and, D. keyserlingii zacatecanus HOFFMANN is elevated to species status.

Published: July 2010

The formation of hydrogen bonds and molecular dynamics for the molecules cis‐1‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐methylphenyl)ethanone oxime (I) and N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐methylphenyl)acetamide (II) have been investigated in solution using NMR. The results confirm the formation of OH···O, OH···N and O···HN type inter‐ and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Spin‐lattice relaxation times (T1), activation energy of molecular dynamics and energy of intramolecular hydrogen bonds have been determined. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Study of conformations and hydrogen bonds in the configurational isomers of pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde oxime by 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy combined with MP2 and DFT calculations and NBO analysis
Authors: Afonin Andrei V. , Ushakov Igor A. , Pavlov Dmitry V. , Ivanov Andrei V. , Mikhaleva Al'bina I.
Published: July 2010

The 1H, 13C and 15N NMR studies have shown that the E and Z isomers of pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde oxime adopt preferable conformation with the syn orientation of the oxime group with respect to the pyrrole ring. The syn conformation of E and Z isomers of pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde oxime is stabilized by the NH···N and NH···O intramolecular hydrogen bonds, respectively. The NH···N hydrogen bond in the E isomer causes the high‐frequency shift of the bridge proton signal by about 1 ppm and increase the 1J(N, H) coupling by ∼3 Hz. The bridge proton shows further deshielding and higher increase of the 1J(N, H) coupling constant due to the strengthening of the NH···O hydrogen bond in the Z isomer. The MP2 calculations indicate that the syn conformation of E and Z isomers is by ∼3.5 kcal/mol energetically less favorable than the anti conformation. The calculations of 1H shielding and 1J(N, H) coupling in the syn and anti conformations allow the contribution to these constants from the NH···N and NH···O hydrogen bondings to be estimated. The NBO analysis suggests that the NH···N hydrogen bond in the E isomer is a pure electrostatic interaction while the charge transfer from the oxygen lone pair to the antibonding orbital of the NH bond through the NH···O hydrogen bond occurs in the Z isomer.
