INSIGHT INTO PHARMACEUTICAL IMPORTANCE OF BRYOPHYTES
Authors: G.M Greeshma , G.S Manoj , K Murugan
Published: January 2020

Historically, Bryophytes were accounted to be a monophyletic group and were placed in an inclusive Bryophyta. Some species are aquatic though some can adapt and live in arid regions. Bryophytes size ranges from microscopic to 12 inches in length, the average size is between 0.5 – 2 inches long and colors vary from green to black and sometimes colorless. Bryophytes plays a vital role in the biosphere even their size is insignificant. As a biotic factor in the environment, they provide food for numerous herbivorous birds and animals. They prevent soil erosion by carpeting the soil. Bryophytes cause the outer portion of rock to slowly crumble as they grow with lichens on rock surfaces. And because of it they contribute and help to soil formation. When mixed with the soil, bryophytes increase the water-holding capacity of the soil and the amount of organic matter in the soil. Some bryophytes like sphagnum or peat moss has some economicimportance. It is used as packing material for breakable or fragile objects such as figurines and dinnerware’s. It is also used as packing materials for transporting plants and plant parts, since sphagnum holds water and hence prevent plants from drying during transport. As a whole, bryophytes are of little economic importance to man.

The present study on the influence of disturbance in the dominated grassland near Bharathiar University, Coimbatore was studied over a period of one year from September, 2014 to August, 2015. The study was made during three seasons such as winter, summer and rainy so as to find out the seasonal changes as influenced by disturbance. The studied grassland is a semi-arid community containing most number of mesophytes with few xerophytes. To study the impact of disturbance, two sites such as undisturbed and disturbed ones spread over an area of 10 and 12 ha respectively were selected in the grassland. The floristic analysis showed that the undisturbed community was registered with 71 species and the disturbed community with 51 species. The family, Poaceae was represented by the high number of 14 and 13 species respectively in undisturbed and disturbed communities. Of the 71 species encounted, a sizablenumber of 66 species (92 %) harbour medicinal uses. It indicates that the study site was a potential habitat of medicinal plants with wide diversity. The quantitative ecological characters have been varied widely between the two sites due to the influence of disturbance. The resource apportionment for various species present in both study sites indicates that the grass, Brachiaria ramosa shared higher amount of resources than any other species present in the communities. The study suggested that the studied Brachiaria ramosa dominated grassland near Bharathiar University must be given conservation priority to protect the valuable medicinal species.

Published: January 2020

The present study was carried out on phenological observations and reproductive characteristics including seed development, maturation and number of days taken for produce mature propagules/seeds by the selected two important mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata . Prior Bruguiera cylindrical (L) Blume ofthe family Rhizophoraceae. An interesting adaptation noticed in true mangroves is that or those belonging to the family Rhizhophoraceae reproduce through a unique biological phenomenon called vivipary. In this mode of reproduction in the post fertilization the zygotes stay on the mother plant for a period 3-7 months until they mature in to seedlings or commonly called as propagules. The physiological maturity of seeds generally determined on the basis of accumulation of higher dry weight with maximum germination. In Rhizophora macronata physiological maturity of seed determined as 14th weeks after anthesis. The moisture content of the seed was decreased to with increase of dry weight. In Brugeiera cylindrica, the harvestable maturity can be fixed on 12th weeks after anthesis. It was based on the maximum dry weight. 2.4 gm with minimum fresh weight of 4.09 gm. The germination percentage of seeds was also maximum during that period.Seed maturation studies of Rhizophora mucronata indicate that the best collection time prevails from April to June and in Bruguiera cylindrica the best seed collection time prevails from May to July.

Published: January 2020

Objective – to study the result of light transmission aggregometry with ADP for platelet reactivity before and after clopidogrel administration before extra-intracranial stenting.Materials and methods. Between January and October 2019 36 patients (19 males and 17 females, the average age was 41 years (25–69 years)) who underwent extra or intracranial stenting for atherosclerotic stenosis, endovascular aneurysm coiling with stent-assistance, or implantation of flow diverter were examined. Determination of the aggregation curve with ADP (concentration – 5 mmol/L) was performed before antiplatelet therapy and 5–7 days after before the procedure. Clopidogrel resistance was determined with a maximum aggregation > 50 % on the aggregation curve. In case of clopidogrel resistance, the daily and loading doses were increased to 150 and 450 mg respectively.Results. The maximum ADP-induced aggregation before clopidogrel admission was 77.50 % [63.0–99.0] and 43 % [33.0–61.0] after admission (p < 0.0001). Clopidogrel resistance was detected in 6 (16.7 %) patients. All patients with low sensitivity to clopidogrel underwent extra or intracranial stenting without peri-procedural complications. Thromboembolic complications occurred in 2 patients with a normal response in the early postoperative period after stent implantation, and in 1 case there was a hemorrhagic complication on standard dual antiplatelet therapy in the form of recurrent bleeding from the femoral artery puncture site.Conclusions. Light transmission aggregatometry with ADP is an effective and relatively cheap method of determination the clopidogrel response before neurovascular stenting. Platelet response to clopidogrel therapy significantly varies among patients. Maximum ADP-induced aggregation on the standard dose of clopidogrel before stenting is an important prognostic factor for deciding the optimal clopidogrel dosage. Therapeutic approaches to reduce platelet aggregation in patients with low response on a standard clopidogrel therapy require further study with the aim to determine the optimal drug and its dose for reducing thrombembolic complications rate, without additional risk of hemorrhagic ones.

The aim of the present study was to investigate inline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) changes in clinically healthy dairy cows according to the number and stage of lactations, milk yield, and the reproduction status The LDH activity (μmol/min per litre) was measured using the dry-stick technology. A total of 378 cows were selected and classified according to their reproductive status into the following groups: fresh (1–44 days after calving); open (45–65 days after calving); inseminated (1–35 days after insemination); pregnant (35–60 days after insemination). According to their milk productivity, the cows were classified into the following groups: <15 kg/d, 15–25 kg/d, >25–35 kg/d, and >35 kg/d. They were milked with a DeLaval milking robot in combination with a Herd Navigator analyser. The results showed that the inline LDH concentration had a tendency to increase along with the increase in the number of lactation periods (P < 0.05). The highest level of LDH was observed in fresh cows 5–10 days in milk (DIM), and the highest LDH concentration was found in the milk of fresh cows. A positive statistically reliable relationship was found between the milk yield and LDH concentration (P < 0.05); LDH and milk somatic cell counts (SCC) were positively related in all groups of cows, although LDH concentration and SCC were the highest correlated variables in inseminated cows (P < 0.05). The present study shows that measuring LDH activity in milk is both easy and cost effective with high sensitivity and specificity, having a great potential as a diagnostic tool for detection of subclinical mastitis.

The values of total proteins, albumin and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio in dogs with babesiosis were significantly lower than in healthy ones (P< 0.001). In the globulin fractions, significantly higher relative concentrations of α1-, β1- and β2-globulins (P< 0.01), and non-significantly higher values of α2- and γ-globulins were found in dogs with babesiosis with a double α2-zone in six out of 37 animals. Marked differences were observed also between the two groups of sick animals, with significantly lower values of albumin and A/G ratio (P< 0.05), and significantly higher values of α1- and β1-globulins in dogs with decreased RBC (P< 0.05 andP< 0.01, respectively). Presented results indicate marked alterations in the electrophoretic pattern of serum proteins in dogs with babesiosis suggesting its usefulness for the evaluation of pathophysiological changes caused by the disease and for diagnostic of disease severity.

Tissue engineering promotes tissue regeneration through biomaterials that have excellent properties and have the potential to replace tissues. Many studies show that bacterial cellulose (BC) might ensure tissue regeneration and substitution, being used for the bioengineering of hard, cartilaginous and soft tissues. Bacterial cellulose is extensively used as wound dressing material and results show that BC is a promising tissue scaffold (bone, cardiovascular, urinary tissue). It can be combined with polymeric and non-polymeric compounds to acquire antimicrobial, cell-adhesion and proliferation properties. To ensure proper tissue regeneration, the material has to be: biocompatible, with minimum tissue reaction and biodegradability; bio-absorbable, to promote tissue development, cellular interaction and grow; resistant to support the weight of the newly formed tissue. Its versatile structure, physical and biochemical properties can be adjusted by adapting the bacteria culturing conditions. The main biomedical applications seem to be as hard (bone, dental), fibrocartilaginous (meniscal) and soft tissue (skin, cardiovascular, urinary) substituents. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge, challenges and future applications of BC and its biomedical potential in veterinary medicine. It was focused on the main uses in regeneration and scaffold tissue replacement and, although BC showed promising results, there is a lack of successful results of BC use in clinical practice. Most studies were performed only at experimental level and further research is needed for BC to enter clinical veterinary practice.

The aim of the study was to contribute to scarce literature data on the content of selected vitamins and iodine in mare’s milk. The study focused on the content of selected lipophilic vitamins (A, E), hydrophilic vitamins B1, B2, B6) and iodine in milk samples obtained from 8 mares during 6 months of lactation. The content of micronutrients was evaluated according to the stage of lactation. Vitamins B2 and B6 were determined using ion-pair reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, vitamin B1 by fluorescence detection by reversed-phase liquid chromatography, vitamins A and E by the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet and fluorescence detection and iodine by the spectrophotometric method. Mean concentrations of vitamins A (0.06 ± 0.08 mg/l), E (0.083 ± 0.14 mg/l), B1 (256.24 ± 44.19 µg/l), B2 (111.40 ± 81.88 µg/l), B6 (0.30 ± 0.12 mg/l) reached lower values in mare’s milk compared to cow’s milk. The mean value of iodine in mare’s milk reached 44.48 ± 54.45 µg/l. Lactation stage proved to be a significant factor for vitamin B6 and iodine.

Published: January 2020

Armut (Pyrus spp.) Dünya çapında en önemli meyvelerden biridir. Pyrus cinsi, Rosaceae ailesinin Pomoideae alt ailesine aittir. Pyrus türlerinin farklı organları farklı oranlarda arbutin içerir. Arbutin birçok tıbbi bitkide bulunan ve doğal olarak oluşan glikozittir. Arbutin, Lamiaceae, Ericaceae, Saxifragaceae ve Rosaceae gibi farklı familyalardan gelen farklı bitki türlerinde bulunur. Tirosinazı önleme kabiliyetinden dolayı beyazlatıcı bir madde olarak kullanılır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Afyonkarahisar ilinde yetişen Pyrus Species (PEL (PEL), PAM (PAM) ve PAN (PAN)) 'nin arbutin içeriğini tespit etmektir. Örnekler oda sıcaklığında onbeş gün boyunca kurutuldu. Tüm yabani pyrus türlerinin arbutin içerikleri, ters faz HPLC ile belirlendi. UV dedektörü ile donatılmış bir Agilent 1260 HPLC sistemi üzerinde miktar tayini yapılmıştır. Bir C18 (5 um, 250 mm x 4.6 mm) analitik kolon kullanıldı. Mobil faz% 93 deiyonize su ve% 7 metanoldü. İzokratik elüsyon, 1 mL / dak akış hızında kullanıldı. Kolon sıcaklığı 25 ° C'de tutuldu ve tespit dalga boyu arbutin için 280 nm'de ayarlandı. Analitik yöntem, ICH Q7A Kılavuzuna göre doğrulandı. Çalışmamızın sonuçları üç pyrus türünün de arbutin içerdiğini göstermiştir. Yaprakların arbutin içeriği, üç yabani armutun meyvelerinden daha yüksektir. Her üç türün de yapraklarında yüksek oranda arbutin içeriği bulunmuştur. PAN, diğer türlerden daha yüksek oranda arbutin oranına sahiptir (Yaprak: 21,23 mg / g. Dal: 8,92 mg / g. Meyve: 0,81 mg / g).
La judicialización de los procesos de descentralización y autonomía. el caso del tribunal constitucional español y el desarrollo autonómico
Authors: Bercholc Jorge O.
Published: January 2020

El sustrato teórico e ideológico para dar soporte a un proceso de descentralización es variado y presenta matices contradictorios. El modelo constitucional de federalismo “integrado”, con muchas competencias concurrentes, hace que ellas sean más difusas generando conflictos por la delimitación de las mismas. Por ende, tomando como ejemplo el caso español, el Tribunal Constitucional debe asumir una actividad intensa y un rol muy activo, aún mayor del que generalmente debe asumir un alto tribunal, para resolver conflictos de competencia en federaciones de modelo “dualista”.

Por la dispersión de opiniones y enfoques de la doctrina resulta menester producir conocimiento objetivo, riguroso y microscópico, que permita acercarse a lo nodal del proceso y comprenderlo con más sofisticación, no solamente desde posiciones, en exceso, “generalistas”

Pueblos arcaicos e Hispania romana. Sistema de castigo y control social
Authors: García Falconí Ramiro J.
Published: January 2020

La ocupación romana a la Península Ibérica, que inicia en el año 218 A.C. y dura hasta el siglo V, en que cae el Imperio Romano, no solo genera nuevas relaciones sociales y culturales, sino que afecta ámbitos como el Derecho y, por supuesto, la manifestación más violenta de éste, la penal. Si bien muchos de los conflictos se resolvían bajo los usos y costumbres ancestrales de los pueblos hispánicos, el Derecho romano tiene una impregnación importante, conforme lo demuestran las fuentes epigráficas que se conservan hasta el presente, tanto en lo penal, como en lo procesal

Published: January 2020

Passo Fundo possui identidade física, cultural, ambiental e urbana vinculada aos canteiros da Avenida Brasil; foi como“Caminho das tropas”, rota comercial utilizada para o abastecimento regional e exportação de mercadorias; deu origem à avenida com canteiros centrais, com morfologia e usos distintos:  próximo à área central encontram-se espaços ricos em vegetação, equipamentos urbanos e mobiliário utilizados como praças e áreas de contemplação e lazer; em oposição a outros trechos, onde o canteiro se estreita, com pouca vegetação. Este artigo é parte de estudo que busca enfocar a identidade e importância dos canteiros da avenida Brasil como espaço de vivência, lazer e de espaço vegetado significativo para a urbanização da cidade visando a sua conservação e possibilidades de preservação como patrimônio.A metodologia adotada incluiu revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa de opinião e analise dos resultados junto à população que usufruicotidianamente dos equipamentos e mobiliário urbano. A importância da configuração física própria gerada na cidade pelo caminho das tropas já se constitui em fator de identidade física, cultural e com benefícios ambientais reconhecidos possibilitando a indicação destes espaços para a conservação e preservação, os habitantes da cidade têm o canteiro central como ponto de encontro, de contemplação e identificaçãolocal.
