Authors: Liu Zulong , Zhu Hengrui , Qu Shijin , Tang Lisha , Cao Lihuan , Yu Wenbo , Yang Xianmei , Jiang Songmin , Zhu Dayuan , Tan Changheng , Yu Long
Published: August 2017

Background:

Multi-drug resistance (MDR) remains a major impediment in cancer therapy. A major
goal for scientists is to discover more effective compounds that are able to circumvent MDR and simultaneously
have minimal adverse side effects.

Objective:

In the present study, we aim to determine the anti-MDR effects of pyramidatine (Z88), a cinnamic
acid-derived bisamide compound isolated from the leaves of Aglaia perviridis, on KB/VCR (vincristineresistant
human oral cancer cells) and MCF-7/ADR (adriamycin-resistant human breast adenocarcinoma) cells.

Methods:

Cell viability and average resistant fold (RF) of Z88 were examined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8)
assay. Flow cytometry, western blot, RT-PCR, Rhodamine 123 accumulation assay and P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
ATPase assay were used to demonstrate the anti-MDR activity and mechanism of Z88.

Results:

The average RF of Z88 is 0.09 and 0.51 in KB/VCR and MCF-7/ADR cells. A CCK-8 assay showed
that Z88 could enhance the cytotoxicity of VCR toward KB/VCR cells. A FACS analysis revealed that Z88
could enhance the VCR-induced apoptosis as well as G2/M arrest in a dose-dependent manner in KB/VCR cells.
Western blot results showed that the expression levels of PARP, Bax, and cyclin B1 all increased after treatment
with 0.2 µmol/L (µM) of VCR combined with 10 µM of Z88 for 24 h in KB/VCR cells. Z88 also could enhance
the accumulation of rhodamine 123. Further studies showed that Z88 could inhibit the verapamil stimulated Pgp
ATPase activity. Additionally, qPCR detection and western blot assays revealed that Z88 could decrease the
expression of P-gp at both RNA and protein level.

Conclusion:

Z88 exerted potent anti-MDR activity in vitro and its mechanisms are associated with dualinhibition
of the function and expression of P-gp. These findings encourage efforts to develop more effective
reversal agents to circumvent MDR based on Z88.

La transformación de la opinión pública ante el resurgimiento de los nacionalismos
Authors: Vásquez Muñoz Tania Celina
Published: August 2017

El presente trabajo ofrece un análisis teórico del resurgimiento del nacionalismo en la transformación de la opinión pública, con la intención de vislumbrar el posible alcance de su reproducción en el nivel global. La democracia liberal y el fenómeno de la globalización se han hecho presentes como manifestaciones de coyuntura crítica, que no han podido resolver los problemas políticos y económicos de orden global. A partir de una revisión teórica sobre los proyectos nacionalistas presentados como alternativas en la solución de los problemas que ha dejado el sistema neoliberal, se construye el argumento de que el resurgimiento del nacionalismo se hace posible a través de un discurso xenófobo, discriminatorio y racista. Así, entonces, en el presente, se evidencia cómo tales expresiones de nacionalismo exacerbado y retrógrado se han reproducido democráticamente mediante las elecciones, pues gracias a los mecanismos formales (especialmente la emisión del voto) el nacionalismo regresó a la esfera pública. Al ser un tema actual —no sólo en la relación México-Estados Unidos—, es fundamental su análisis desde un enfoque teórico; sin embargo, éste no ambiciona ser, en forma alguna, una propuesta para la solución al problema de los nacionalismos.

Published: August 2017

Este artículo tiene como objetivo exponer y analizar diversos estudios sobre la prensa decimonónica en Colombia, que se han identificado a través de la construcción de un estado del arte. Como resultado, se pueden apreciar diversos trabajos sobre la prensa en Colombia, que se dividen fundamentalmente en dos grupos: por una parte, aquéllos que conforman el periodo de inicio de la vida republicana y, por otra, los que se ocupan de la prensa durante los periodos liberales. Un balance de este tipo no se ha realizado en el país, situación que se refleja en las múltiples dificultades para encontrar sistematicidad en las investigaciones sobre la prensa en Colombia y los procesos de opinión pública. Por último, en el artículo se presenta la importancia de la prensa como medio de difusión de la opinión pública en Colombia durante el siglo XIX.

The birds of the order Psittaciformes are among the most created as pet, which consequently increases the demand for specialized veterinary care in birds and, for this, the study and knowledge of the anatomy of these animals becomes essential. Otherwise, cranial morphology is fundamental in the identification of species of animals with similar external morphological characteristics. We sought to obtain data regarding the skull of Diopsittaca nobilis, to contribute with the anatomical knowledge of this species. The present study was performed with 3 skulls of Diopsittaca nobilis, which were prepared by dissection and controlled maceration with water. Despite the natural process of fusion, bones and structures of the skull could be identified with their particularities. Measurements were also made of the skulls, where the mean maximum width of the skull was 28.70mm and the length of the skull without the ranogram was 36.16mm. The data obtained contribute to the better characterization of the species.
Method of the integral error functions for the solution of the one- and two-phase Stefan problems and its application
Authors: Sarsengeldin Merey , Kharina Stanislav
Published: August 2017

The analytical solutions of the one- and two-phase Stefan problems are found
in the form of series containing linear combinations of the integral error
functions which satisfy a priori the heat equation. The unknown coefficients
are defined from the initial and boundary conditions by the comparison of the
like power terms of the series using the Faa di Bruno formula. The
convergence of the series for the temperature and for the free boundary is
proved. The approximate solution is found using the replacement of series by
the corresponding finite sums and the collocation method. The presented test
examples confirm a good approximation of such approach. This method is
applied for the solution of the Stefan problem describing the dynamics of
the interaction of the electrical arc with electrodes and corresponding
erosion.

Authors: Gozmen Belgin , Sonmez Ozgur , Sozutek Azize
Published: August 2017

In this study, the role of electrochemical oxidation processes, including the electro-Fenton, the electro-persulfate (PS), and the electro/FeII /PS processes, in the removal of Basic Red 18 (BR18) from aqueous solutions was investigated. It was found that the electro-PS process successfully removes colour, but after 5 h, it produced only 75 % mineralization. In the same conditions, more effective mineralization was achieved by the electro/FeII/PS process than by the electro-Fenton method. At pH levels of 3.0 and 5.7, very effective mineralization results were produced by the electro/FeII/PS process. Moreover, the maximum mineralization current efficiency values were obtained by the electro/ FeII/PS process. The mineralization efficiency of the electro/FeII/PS process was determined to be 97 % under the following conditions: BR18 initial dye concentration of 100 mg L-1, pH of 5.7, contact time of 5 h, PS concentration of 10 mM, Fe2+ concentration of 0.2 mM, and a sodium sulfate concentration of 0.05 M.

Published: August 2017

Breeding and selection of winter pea for seed quality is a serious challenge to every breeder. The result of breeding mainly depends on good knowledge of the genetic material. Chemical and technological analysis is necessary for an accurate determination of the following traits of technologically mature seed of the winter pea collection: protein content, total nitrogen content, total sugars content, starch content, fatty oil content, cellulose content, and ash content (g (100 g)-1). The protein content in the tested lines of pea was in the range 22.86?28.04 g (100 g)-1, the total nitrogen content 3.66?4.49 g (100 g)-1, total sugars content 10.30?14.67 g (100 g)-1, starch content 39.44?46.23 g (100 g)-1, fatty oil content 1.48?1.89 g (100 g)-1, cellulose content 8.79?10.28 g (100 g)-1 and ash content 3.08?3.67 g (100 g)-1. PCA analysis was used to identify the three components that collectively explained 81.59 % of the total variation. The first component was mainly defined by the ash and the total nitrogen, protein and cellulose contents. The second one, independent from the first one, was mainly correlated to the fatty oil and starch contents, while the third was defined by the content of total sugars.
Biosorption of Congo Red and Methylene Blue by pretreated waste Streptomyces fradiae biomass - Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
Authors: Velkova Zdravka , Kirova Gergana , Stoytcheva Margarita , Gochev Velizar
Published: August 2017

Pretreated waste Streptomyces fradiae biomass was utilized as an eco-friendly sorbent for Congo Red (CR) and Methylene Blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The biosorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of pH, biosorbent dosage, initial concentration of adsorbates, contact time and temperature on the biosorption of the two dyes. The equilibrium adsorption data were analysed using Freundlich and Langmuir models. Both models fitted well the experimental data. The maximum biosorption capacity of the pretreated Streptomyces fradiae biomass was 46.64 mg g-1 for CR and 59.63 mg g-1 for MB, at a pH 6.0, with the contact time of 120 min, the biosorbent dosage of 2 g dm-3 and the temperature of 298 K. Lagergren and Ho kinetic models were used to analyse the kinetic data obtained from different batch experiments. The biosorption of both dyes followed better the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The calculated values for ?G, ?S, and ?H indicated that the biosorption of CR and MB onto the waste pretreated biomass was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic in the selected temperature range and conditions.

Published: August 2017

Manure constitutes a nutrient resource that should be efficiently recycled in agriculture. We assessed the nutrient cycling properties of three bedding materials (peat, wood shavings and pelleted straw) in horse manure by comparing their compostability, ability to retain nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) under rainfall and capacity to release N when mixed with soil. Manure with pelleted straw bedding had superior composting characteristics as it lost half of its dry mass, reached temperatures >60 °C and ended up having a carbon (C) to N (C:N) ratio of <15. In percolated water, 4–11% of total manure N and 5–23% of total manure P was leached during a 2 h 15 min event of artificial rainfall. Peat manure was most susceptible to P loss. In all fresh manures, C:N ratio exceeded 30, which led to net N immobilization in soil. Composting decreased the C:N leading to a slight positive or an insignificant fertilizer effect.
A numerical and experimental study on the tensile behavior of plasma shocked granite under dynamic loading
Authors: Mardoukhi Ahmad , Saksala Timo , Hokka Mikko , Kuokkala Veli-Tapani
Published: August 2017

This paper presents a numerical and experimental study on the mechanical behavior of plasma shocked rock. The dynamic tensile behavior of plasma shock treated Balmoral Red granite was studied under dynamic loading using the Brazilian disc test and the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar device. Different heat shocks were produced on the Brazilian disc samples by moving the plasma gun over the sample at different speeds. Microscopy clearly showed that as the duration of the thermal shock increases, the number of the surface cracks and their complexity increases (quantified here as the fractal dimension of the crack patterns) and the area of the damaged surface grows larger as well. At the highest thermal shock duration of 0.80 seconds the tensile strength of the Brazilian disc sample drops by approximately 20%. In the numerical simulations of the dynamic Brazilian disc test, this decrease in tensile strength was reproduced by modeling the plasma shock induced damage using the embedded discontinuity finite element method. The damage caused by the plasma shock was modeled by two methods, namely by pre-embedded discontinuity populations with zero strength and by assuming that the rock strength is lowered and conform to the Weibull distribution. This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the effects of the heat shock, the surface microstructure and mechanical behavior of the studied rock, and a promising numerical model to account for the pre-existing crack distributions in a rock material.

El Partido Socialista y su delimitación con el movimiento anticlerical en los primeros años del siglo XX
Authors: Poy Lucas
Published: August 2017

El objetivo del artículo es analizar los debates que en los primeros años del siglo XX se desarrollaron en el interior del Partido Socialista argentino en torno al modo de intervención en el movimiento anticlerical. En particular, examina la polémica que se trabó entre Alfredo Palacios y la dirección partidaria, a propósito de la creación de los llamados “círculos de obreros liberales”. El artículo reconstruye estos debates, hasta ahora inexplorados por la historiografía, a través de un examen de la prensa socialista y anticlerical del período. La investigación argumenta que, si bien el Partido Socialista otorgó un lugar destacado a las denuncias contra el clero y fue parte activa del movimiento anticlerical, desarrolló al mismo tiempo una delimitación con otros sectores del mismo.
