Cuando el sentimiento y la música se encuentran. La praxis sonoro-emocional en las marchas de protesta en la Ciudad de México 2015-2018
Authors: Granados Sevilla Alan Edmundo
Published: July 2019

Este artículo presenta un primer acercamiento al trabajo y enmarcado emocional que realizan los manifestantes a través de dos expresiones sonoras centrales en las marchas de protesta: la consigna cantada y la música. Con base en la etnografía sonora, que recupera la dimensión acústica de la acción, las actividades productoras de sonido y sus significados, se analiza la producción sonora de distintos contingentes en once marchas que ocurrieron en la Ciudad de México entre 2015 y 2018; la finalidad es revelar algunas de las funciones emocionales que se realizan por medio de la música y la consigna. A la luz de los aportes teóricos de la psicología de la música y el enfoque constructivista de las emociones, nuestro análisis revela que la música y la consigna cumplen funciones emocionales que están condicionadas por sus rasgos estructurales y estilísticos. Por otra parte, a través de las consignas, las emociones se despliegan retóricamente, los procesos de enmarcado cognitivo se complementan con un discurso afectivo y se expresan las orientaciones culturales del movimiento. La música, por su parte, también verbaliza emociones; además, juega un papel central en la dinamización y modulación de los afectos necesarios para la protesta.
Emociones y movilización de alto riesgo en un contexto de posacuerdo de paz: una reflexión en torno al caso colombiano
Authors: Massal Julie
Published: July 2019

El artículo presenta una reflexión en torno a dos grandes conceptos: el de ‘activismo de alto riesgo’ y el de ‘emociones’. Se pretende examinar la importancia de las emo-ciones en la movilización social, y en particular en la acción de alto riesgo. Par­tiendo del caso colombiano, se plantea una redefinición de la noción de riesgo, que se compara con sus usos tradicionales en la literatura. Luego se examinan los aportes de estudios de casos sobre emociones y alto riesgo, en aras a entender qué emociones surgen y se expresan en un contexto riesgoso. El caso colombiano sirve para evidenciar la dificultad de definir el riesgo, que no siempre se deriva de una acción radical, contrario a lo que se había concebido tradicionalmente.

The Effect of Franchising on Store Performance: Evidence from an Ownership Change
Authors: Ackermann Jeff
Published: July 2019

Although many franchisors choose to own some stores and franchise others, attempts to estimate the effect of franchising on store performance are hampered by an important selection issue: The franchisor may choose to assign the least desirable locations to franchisees. I overcome this issue by using a 2007 corporate sale that resulted in all franchisor-owned Applebee’s stores in Texas being sold to franchisees as a source of exogenous variation. I first find evidence that both observable and unobservable location-level factors were important in Applebee’s decision to own or franchise a store prior to the corporate sale. I next estimate the effect of franchising on store performance and find that franchising an Applebee’s store increases its alcohol revenues by 15%.

Connected, but Qualified? Social Affiliations, Human Capital, and Service Professional Performance
Authors: Gubler Timothy
Published: July 2019

While social capital has been found to play an important role in economic transactions when information is incomplete, it remains unclear how it interacts with human capital in transaction performance. This paper explores the complementarity between social affiliations and human capital in transaction performance, and how affiliations influence the match between qualified professionals and consumers. I argue that human capital is important to professional performance, but that social affiliations lead consumers to increasingly match with lower human capital professionals. Thus, while social and human capital function as complements in transaction performance, social capital can substitute for human capital in the selection process. I test my argument using a novel approach that pairs data from a primary real estate multiple listing service in Utah with hand-collected data on geographically assigned church congregation boundaries. This setting allows me to identify listings for which real estate agents and home sellers share a common church congregation, and to explore the impact of this affiliation, as well as human capital variables, on transaction outcomes. I find that agent performance improves when listing for affiliates, on average, and that gains increase with agent human capital. However, consistent with my theory, I find that sellers are more likely to use inexperienced and underqualified affiliated agents. Human capital deficiencies reduce benefits from social affiliations and lead to inferior transaction outcomes in extreme cases. This suggests a new underexplored dark side to social capital from human capital deficiencies, which is driven by the selection process under incomplete information.
Medial migration in cephalomedullary nail fixation of pertrochanteric hip fractures

Objectives

The paradoxical migration of the femoral neck element (FNE) superomedially against gravity, with respect to the intramedullary component of the cephalomedullary device, is a poorly understood phenomenon increasingly seen in the management of pertrochanteric hip fractures with the intramedullary nail. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of bidirectional loading on the medial migration phenomenon, based on unique wear patterns seen on scanning electron microscopy of retrieved implants suggestive of FNE toggling.

Methods

A total of 18 synthetic femurs (Sawbones, Vashon Island, Washington) with comminuted pertrochanteric fractures were divided into three groups (n = 6 per group). Fracture fixation was performed using the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) implant (Synthes, Oberdorf, Switzerland; n = 6). Group 1 was subjected to unidirectional compression loading (600 N), with an elastomer (70A durometer) replacing loose fracture fragments to simulate surrounding soft-tissue tensioning. Group 2 was subjected to bidirectional loading (600 N compression loading, 120 N tensile loading), also with the elastomer replacing loose fracture fragments. Group 3 was subjected to bidirectional loading (600 N compression loading, 120 N tensile loading) without the elastomer. All constructs were tested at 2 Hz for 5000 cycles or until cut-out occurred. The medial migration distance (MMD) was recorded at the end of the testing cycles.

Results

The MMDs for Groups 1, 2, and 3 were 1.02 mm, 6.27 mm, and 5.44 mm respectively, with reliable reproduction of medial migration seen in all groups. Bidirectional loading groups showed significantly higher MMDs compared with the unidirectional loading group (p < 0.01).

Conclusion

Our results demonstrate significant contributions of bidirectional cyclic loading to the medial migration phenomenon in cephalomedullary nail fixation of pertrochanteric hip fractures.

Tratamento de efluentes sanitários em áreas alagadiças e/ou com lençol freático superficial – Estudo de caso
Authors: Cauduro Flávia , Sartor Mirian , Müller Christiane Ribeiro
Published: July 2019

A necessidade por recursos hídricos de qualidade faz da preservação ambiental, e consequentemente dos mananciais, um urgente desafio global. Há inúmeros e distintos contaminantes ambientais, dentre eles os efluentes sanitários, não tratados e os mal tratados, que poluem o solo e, posteriormente, a água. Nas áreas rurais brasileiras com terrenos alagadiços e/ou com lençol freático superficial a contaminação do aquífero por efluente sanitário é instantânea. Procurando alterar este cenário, o presente estudo tem o objetivo de propor um sistema de tratamento de efluente sanitário descentralizado para áreas alagadiças e/ou com lençol freático superficial. O desenvolvimento foi baseado em normativas, leis, pesquisas científicas e estudos de caso relacionando os parâmetros do efluente tratado com a realidade das áreas alagadas. Assim, foi proposto um sistema descentralizado com materiais e técnicas construtivas validadas pela construção civil e possível de proteger o manancial destas áreas.
A Case Series of Resolving Vitreous Haemorrhage in the Setting of Diabetic Retinopathy
Authors: Tiu Ronald Y. , Iguban Eleonore B. , Arroyo Milagros H.
Published: July 2019

This case series presents 2 patients (67 and 58 year old females) with resolving vitreous hemorrhage in the setting of diabetic retinopathy. Both patients had around 50% of the retina still visible and the hemorrhage was confined at the posterior vitreous cavity near the retina, hence, a partial pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) was feasibly applied. On B-scan, both cases showed a liquified vitreous with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). For both patients, vitreous hemorrhage resolution occurred at less than 4 months from onset and consequently PRP was completed. Vitreous hemorrhage differs with bleeding in other tissues due to the presence of vitreous collagen matrix which promotes rapid clotting and hinders resolution of hemorrhage by preventing passive diffusion and delay in inflammatory cellular response. The prognosis for clearing hemorrhage was better when the fundus reflex was brighter and the retina adjacent to the ora serrata was visible. Clearing occurred sooner when hemorrhage was retrohyaloid rather than in the vitreous gel. In diabetic eye, the vitreous undergoes metabolic derangements resulting in premature liquefaction and abnormal vitreoretinal adhesion leading to traction and membrane formation. Partial PVD has also been associated with higher rate of diabetic retinopathy progression since it serves as scaffold for growth of neovascular tufts.

Self-Selected Music for Relational Trauma: Commentary on the Psychotherapy Case of "James"
Authors: Adams Ben G
Published: July 2019

This commentary discusses Dr. Paul Blimling’s (2019) composite case of James, a patient with a history of severe childhood interpersonal trauma, who responded remarkably well to individual psychotherapy augmented with the targeted use of self-selected music. I describe how music and psychotherapy both have their origins in the shamanistic practices of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, such that combining psychotherapy and music together is a reconciliation of sorts. The Case of James demonstrates how music can be used in psychotherapy with a counter-dependent patient, to help the patient to access sensitive, vulnerable feelings that normally would never be expressed to another person. In this case, the therapist’s keen sensitivity to the patient’s disorganized attachment style created an environment in which the patient eventually felt safe lowering his defenses and expressing his emotions in the treatment—with the help of five songs. Aside from the direct, visceral benefits of the music itself, the process of asking a relationally traumatized patient to select a song has other potential benefits. For example, it supports the patient’s sense of self (which, in the relationally traumatized patient, is likely fragmented), and it may reduce the "hot seat" feeling with a self-conscious patient, by shifting focus from the patient to the song. Songs selected by patients in advance of a session versus songs selected during a session may provide different types of information, and may have different types of benefits. If I were working with a patient such as James, two additional possibilities I would consider are (a) helping the patient to develop practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, and (b) making the patient’s goals a more prominent focus throughout the treatment.
Facing the Music: Further Thoughts on Integrating Music into Psychotherapy
Authors: Blimling G. Paul
Published: July 2019

In this article, I respond to the insightful commentaries by Karen Riggs Skean (2019), by Richard Harrison (2019), and by Ben Adams (2019) on my hybrid case study of "James," a survivor of chronic relational trauma (Blimling, 2019). These commentaries have stimulated me to think further about the impact of music on my individual psychotherapy work, both with James and with subsequent clients, and specifically with regard to its impact on my approach to group psychotherapy work. In addition, these commentaries have raised particular issues that I respond to, including, (a) constructive criticism by Skean and Harrison regarding the potential further use of "metaprocessing" and the developments made in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) since I completed the Case of James; (b) Skean’s perceptive point explaining how an individual therapist can take a personal passion—like music or literary writing or bicultural identity—and use it to enhance his or her enlivened presence in therapy with a client; and (c) Adams’ thesis that music and psychotherapy both have their origins in the shamanistic practices of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, suggesting that the combination of psychotherapy and music is a kind of return to our very roots.

Requests for Food-provisions in RS 94.2523 and RS 94.2530
Authors: Lyons Michael C.
Published: July 2019

Scholars have debated the meaning of both RS 94.2523 and 94.2530, two letters from Hatti to Ugarit at the end of the Late Bronze Age. Settling the meaning of the Sumerogram pad (Akkadian, kurummatu) as either a reference to metal ingots or a type of food-provision has persistently caused interpretative trouble. The present article reassesses Singer’s arguments for reading pad as metal ingots, and it finds his arguments unsupported by the philological evidence. In addition, this article offers a new observation about famine language in RS 94.2530 that suggests pad does indeed refer to food-provisions in both letters as originally proposed by Lackenbacher/Malbran-Labat.
Uccellacci e uccellini
Authors: Grassi Giulia Francesca
Published: July 2019

The topic of this article are terms for animals in the Old Aramaic inscriptions. The corpus is quite rich (ca. 50 terms), including both terms for particular mammals reconstructed for Proto-Semitic, and terms that are rarely attested in other Semitic languages. Two peculiar Aramaic forms are already evidenced in Old Aramaic: the word for “cow” created through morphological rather than semantic opposition to the word “bull”, and the word for “serpent” derived from the verb “to live”. The attestation of some terms in Old Aramaic that do not occur in later Aramaic dialects is possibly due, at least in some cases, to external influences (for example, Akkadian in the inscription of Sfiré). Other terms are known later in a slightly different form, maybe due to tabooisation processes. However, the stability of the lexicon in general is quite remarkable. As is usual in ethnobiological classification, the most common taxa by far are generic species.
Bruno Taut and the Changed Conception of Modernism on the Eve of World War II
Authors: Nicolai Bernd
Published: July 2019

Bruno Taut’s History, Language and Geography Faculty Building at Ankara University has received little attention in architectural history. As the work of an émigré architect, expelled from Germany in 1933, it is not only a product of Taut’s broader horizons through his experiences as an exile in Japan and Turkey, but also as a result of his confrontation with the modernization process under Atatürk’s new republic. Beyond this, Taut’s Faculty building issues a statement on the state of modern architecture in the late 1930s, where this type of public building was newly discussed in relation to different aspects of national representation, oscillating between dictatorship and democracy. This article explores the various facets that create this outstanding, unconventional and inventive building, as Taut’s major and enduring project during his later years, at the edge of classical modernism.
On sets of singular rotations for translation invariant differentiation bases formed by intervals

integral on a rotation of the coordinate system.
Namely, the following problem is studied:
For a summable function f, what kind of a set may be the set of rotations θ for which

∫

{\int f}

is not differentiable with respect to the θ-rotation of a given basis B?
For translation invariant bases B formed by two-dimensional intervals, some classes of sets of singular rotations are found.
In particular, for such bases with symmetric structure, a characterization of at most countable sets of singular rotations is found.
On the Numerical Computation of the Mittag–Leffler Function
Authors: Ortigueira Manuel D. , Lopes António M. , Tenreiro Machado José
Published: July 2019

The Mittag–Leffler function (MLF) plays an important role in many applications of fractional calculus, establishing a connection between exponential and power law behaviors that characterize integer and fractional order phenomena, respectively. Nevertheless, the numerical computation of the MLF poses problems both of accuracy and convergence. In this paper, we study the calculation of the 2-parameter MLF by using polynomial computation and integral formulas. For the particular cases having Laplace transform (LT) the method relies on the inversion of the LT using the fast Fourier transform. Experiments with two other available methods compare also the computational time and accuracy. The 3-parameter MLF and its calculation are also considered.

Performance Analysis of FSO DF Relays with Log-Normal Fading Channel
Authors: Duyen Trung Ha
Published: July 2019

This paper studies the bit error performance analysis of decode-and-forward (DF) relays-based free-space optical (FSO) communication systems using avalanche photodiode (APD). The system uses subcarrier intensity binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulated signals and subjects to scintillation due to optical turbulence. A log-normal random process is considered to model the received signal intensity fluctuation for a clear-air condition (weak atmospheric turbulence) scenario. Mathematical expressions of the average bit error probability and bit error rate (BER) are derived by taking into account the impact of atmospheric loss, thermal-noise and shot-noise limited conditions. It can be inferred from the numerical results that using DF relay nodes can extend the transmission distance and minimize BER performance of FSO system significantly compared with the direct transmission. Moreover, the selection of APD’s gain values is essential to minimize the system’s error rate performance. Therefore, the system could achieve the minimal BER by selecting an optimal average APD gain value appropriately. Moreover, the optimal average gain values of APD significantly depend on various conditions, such as the bit rate, total transmitted power, and the number of relay nodes.
Determination of cerebral edema with serial measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter during treatment in children with diabetic ketoacidosis: a longitudinal study
Authors: Kendir Ozlem Tolu , Yilmaz Hayri Levent , Ozkaya Ahmet Kagan , Turan Ihsan , Gokay Sinem Sari , Bilen Sevcan , Yildizdas Riza Dincer , Yuksel Bilgin
Published: July 2019

Background

Cerebral edema is a fatal complication that can occur in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Its clinical signs are generally not explicit, and subclinical cerebral edema can occur. This study is one of the few longitudinal studies conducted to identify cerebral edema in patients with DKA by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). The aim of this study was to investigate cerebral edema in children with DKA with serial measurement of ONSD, which is an early and reliable indicator of cerebral edema, and to monitor changes in ONSD during therapy.

Methods

The study was conducted by measuring ONSD ultrasonographically at baseline and during the course of therapy in patients with DKA. All participants were diagnosed and received therapy at our unit between May 2016 and June 2017. The study was registered with the Clinical Trials database, with a study number of NCT02937441. Measurements were obtained while the patients were in the supine position with their eyes closed, and axial transbulbar images of both eyes were obtained with a 6–15-MHz linear probe.

Results

The ONSD values of children with DKA changed during the treatment, reaching the highest values at 12–16 h of therapy, and the greatest ONSD was observed in children who had moderate and severe DKA.

Conclusions

During treatment of children with DKA, it is possible to predict cerebral edema by measuring ONSD, and this may contribute to clinical management, especially fluid treatment.

Methodology

CCK-8 assays were carried out to test the effect of miR-107 mimics on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells. The apoptosis level of each group was detected by flow cytometry. miR-107 level, mRNA levels of Bcl-2/Bax and TRIAP1 were detected by quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. Protein levels of Bcl-2/Bax, p-Akt/Akt in MCF-7 cells were detected by using Western Blot. Lastly, the dual luciferase reporter gene assay system was used to confirm interaction between miR-107 and its target gene TRIAP1.

Results

CCK-8 assays indicated that miR-107 mimics augmented Taxol-induced cell viability inhibition. Flow cytometry showed that miR-107 mimics augmented Taxol-induced elevation of cell apoptosis. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that miR-107 mimics inhibited the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and induced the mRNA level of Bax. Western Blotting indicated that miR-107 mimics inhibited the expression of proteins Bcl-2 and p-Akt, and induced the expression of Bax, while showing no significant effects on Akt. The relative luciferase activity revealed that oncogene TRIAP1 is a potential target gene of miR-107.

Conclusions

miR-107 plays a role in regulating chemo-drug sensitivity in mammary cancer cell by targeting TRIAP1.
Numerical investigation of upstream cylinder flow and characterization of forming fabrics
Authors: Kettil Gustav , Mark Andreas , Wester Kenneth , Fredlund Mats , Edelvik Fredrik
Published: July 2019

In this work, the fundamentals of upstream flow over cylinders and forming fabrics are investigated, and measures for characterization of fabrics are proposed. Two-dimensional flow over one cylinder, two cylinders, and one and two rows of cylinders, are analysed numerically. By studying different configurations and various Reynolds numbers, the upstream flow features are characterized. It is concluded that cylinders have a short range of upstream flow impact, shortest for rows of cylinders with small spacings. ForRe∈[10,80]Re\in [10,80], the Reynolds number dependency is weak. It is shown that a downstream row positioned in tandem has negligible impact on the upstream flow, while a displaced second row influences the upstream flow if the spacing in the first row is larger than one diameter. The pressure drop required to drive the flow over the cylinders depends non-linearly on the porosity of the configuration. Flow measures of the upstream flow are proposed, which in addition to the volume flow per area are used to characterize fabric flow properties. The conclusions from the cylinder study also hold for industrial fabrics, and it can be explained how properties of the fabric influence the final paper. The wave-length of flow periodicity is studied in relation to drainage marking. This study demonstrates that simulations can greatly improve pure experimental-based fabric characterization.
Crossover and Repeated Randomization in Event Driven Trials for HIV Prevention: Addressing the Impact of Heterogeneity in Risk in the Trial Design
Authors: Domínguez Islas Clara P. , Brown Elizabeth R.
Published: July 2019

The availability of effective Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV introduces new challenges for testing novel on-demand, user-controlled HIV prevention products, including lower placebo arm incidence and increased between-participant variability in HIV risk. In this paper, we discuss how low HIV incidence may result in longer trials in which the variability in participants' risk may impact the estimate of risk reduction. We introduce a measure of per-exposure efficacy that may be more relevant than the population level reduction in incidence for on demand products and explore alternatives to the parallel arm design that could target better this parameter of interest: the crossover and the re-randomization designs. We propose three different ways in which crossover and re-randomization of intervention assignments could be implemented in event-driven trials. We evaluate the performance of these designs through a simulation study, finding that they allow for better estimation and higher power than the traditional event-driven parallel arm design. We conclude by discussing future work, practical challenges and ethical considerations that need to be addressed to take these designs closer to implementation.

HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remain prevalent and are aggravated by µ-opioid use. We have previously shown that morphine and other µ-opioids may contribute to HAND by inhibiting the homeostatic and neuroprotective chemokine receptor CXCR4 in cortical neurons, and this novel mechanism depends on upregulation of the protein ferritin heavy chain (FHC). Here, we examined the cellular events and potential mechanisms involved in morphine-mediated FHC upregulation using rat cortical neurons of either sex in vitro and in vivo. Morphine dose dependently increased FHC protein levels in primary neurons through µ-opioid receptor (µOR) and Gαi-protein signaling. Cytoplasmic FHC levels were significantly elevated, but nuclear FHC levels and FHC gene expression were unchanged. Morphine-treated rats also displayed increased FHC levels in layer 2/3 neurons of the prefrontal cortex. Importantly, bothin vitroandin vivoFHC upregulation was accompanied by loss of mature dendritic spines, which was also dependent on µOR and Gαi-protein signaling. Moreover, morphine upregulated ferritin light chain (FLC), a component of the ferritin iron storage complex, suggesting that morphine altered neuronal iron metabolism. Indeed, prior to FHC upregulation, morphine increased cytoplasmic labile iron levels as a function of decreased endolysosomal iron. In line with this, chelation of endolysosomal iron (but not extracellular iron) blocked morphine-induced FHC upregulation and dendritic spine reduction, whereas iron overloading mimicked the effect of morphine on FHC and dendritic spines. Overall, these data demonstrate that iron mediates morphine-induced FHC upregulation and consequent dendritic spine deficits and implicate endolysosomal iron efflux to the cytoplasm in these effects.
Anatomic site as prognostic marker of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: a cohort study

Published: July 2019

Objective

Patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) have variable prognosis, even with comparable tumor grade and stage. In the current study we aimed to evaluate the prognostic utility of the intrapancreatic PNET anatomical site.

Design

Cohort study based on the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with non-functioning PNET between 2004 and 2015 were compared by anatomic site for disease-specific mortality and all-cause mortality, using log-rank test and by multivariable cox regression analysis.

Results

Overall, 4171 patients (1839 women (44.1%), median age strata 60–64 years, range 10–14 to ≥85 years) were included in our analysis. Patients with PNETs located at the head vs body/tail of the pancreas had comparable tumor diameter, as well as ethnicity, gender and age distributions, but had higher rates of grade III and IV NET (13.2 vs 6.6% and 4.4 vs 1.9%, respectively, P < 0.001). NETs located at the head vs body/tail of pancreas were more likely to be locally advanced (32.2 vs 19.9%) with no difference in distant metastases (36.4 vs 33.5%, respectively, P < 0.001). Patients with NETs of the head vs. body/tail of the pancreas had higher disease-specific mortality risk in univariate (log-rank test, P < 0.001) and multivariable analysis (hazard ratio (HR): 1.34, 95% confidence interval: 1.10–1.65, P = 0.004). Multivariable analysis for all-cause mortality also showed increased risk for patients with pancreatic head vs. body/tail PNET (HR: 1.23, P = 0.013).

Conclusions

PNET anatomical location is associated with the mortality risk and should be considered as a prognostic factor, and as an additional consideration in directing patients management.

Authors: Sánchez Pardo José Carlos , Blanco Rotea Rebeca
Published: July 2019

La fábrica y las diversas piezas reutilizadas en la iglesia parroquial de Santo Tomé de Tórdea y sus alrededores reflejan una larga y rica evolución constructiva. Sin embargo, pese a su gran interés histórico-arqueológico, este edificio apenas había sido estudiado hasta la fecha. En este artículo presentamos los resultados de un trabajo arqueológico de prospección y análisis estratigráfico mediante lectura veloz de esta iglesia. Nuestro estudio revela que la iglesia conserva restos in situ de una primera fase altomedieval que puede encuadrarse hacia inicios del siglo X. A esta fase le siguieron distintas reformas: una anterior al siglo XVI, otra en el siglo XVI, otra a inicios del siglo XVIII y por último una serie de reformas ya en época contemporánea.
Quenching of singlet oxygen by extract of peels of the fruit of syzygium cumini
Authors: Flórez-Santiago Jiress Joseph , Grande-Tovar Carlos David , Díaz-Uribe Carlos Enrique
Published: July 2019

Recent research has shown the importance of plant extracts as powerful antioxidants owing to the presence of chemically active components such as polyphenols, anthocyanins, flavonoids, among others. This synergy of the components becomes a possible alternative to the use of antioxidants of synthetic origin. In this study, Syzygium cumini fruit peel was used to determine the antioxidant activity against singlet oxygen. The extract showed appreciable amounts of phenolic groups (about 8.55 AGE mg/g fruit weight). HPLC-DAD characterization showed at least 3 anthocyanins of higher relative abundance (malvidin 3,5-diglucoside, delphinidin 3,5-diglucoside and petunidin 3,5-diglucoside). The percentage of quenching of singlet oxygen was determined at different concentrations of the ethanolic extract, finding a value of 60% at a concentration of 0.39 mg/mL.

The atmospheric pollutants cause adverse effects on plants, although the effect of PM10 on them is not known for sure, the present investigation aims to determine the phytotoxic effect of aqueous extracts of PM10 particulate material, coming from three sites of the urban area of the Cuenca- Ecuador canton, using the method described in the National regulations (Unified Text of Secondary Environmental Legislation of the Ministry of the Environment), on the growth of the root and hypocotyl of seeds of Lactuca sativa, Brassica oleracea italica, Raphanus sativus. For the characterization of the particulate material in heavy metals (cadmium, manganese, nickel and lead), the EPA 3005a atomic absorption spectroscopy method was used, then the aqueous extracts were obtained with ultra pure water by ultrasonication for 30 minutes, the seeds were exposed to four dilutions of the aqueous fraction of PM10 (100%, 10%, 1% and 0.1%) during a short exposure time, the data were analyzed in the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 and GraphPad Prism programs and through the Kruskal Wallis’s statistician. The results show that the phytotoxic effect of PM10 could be attributed to the species reported in the aqueous extract (Mn, Ni, Pb and Cd). It was also shown that the hypocotyl growth inhibition was superior to that of the root.
