Pattern of Sex Steroid Concentrations in Relation to the Annual Reproductive Cycle of Wild and Captive Black Rockfish
Authors: Haukenes A H , Plante S , Buck C L 
Published: March 2008

Abstract
Gonadal development and plasma steroid hormone concentrations of wild (N = 73) and captive (N = 65) black rockfish Sebastes melanops were examined over 1 year. Seasonal variation was observed in the concentrations of testosterone and estradiol in the plasma of wild female black rockfish, the highest concentrations of each occurring in October. Male black rockfish exhibited the highest testosterone concentrations during the summer (July 29–August 9). Gonadosomatic index (GSI) and estradiol concentration were highly correlated for wild female black rockfish sampled in the fall, demonstrating the utility of this nonlethal approach for evaluating gonadal status during this species' vitellogenic period. No relationship between testosterone concentrations and GSI was observed in male fish. Hormone concentrations in captive female black rockfish were depressed throughout the year, illustrating that maintenance conditions were not conducive to the normal progression of reproductive events for this species.
Effects of Anti-phospholipase A2 on the Growth of Rainbow Trout
Authors: Barry Terence P , Yang Mingder 
Published: March 2008

Abstract
Ingestion of a meal stimulates an inflammatory response in the gut of most vertebrates as the first line of defense against food-borne pathogens. In terrestrial farm animals, blocking gut inflammation with antibodies to the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzyme results in improved growth and feeding efficiency. Phospholipase A2 is a rate-limiting enzyme in the biochemical pathway that leads to the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are key mediators of the gut inflammatory response. The purpose of the present investigation was to test the effects of anti-phospholipase A2 (aPLA2) on the growth of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The antibody was mass-produced by injecting laying hens of the domestic chicken Gallus gallus domesticus with PLA2, collecting the antibody-rich eggs, and preparing an egg powder that was then top-dressed onto standard fish diets. There were three treatment groups: Control, 0.15%, and 0.30% aPLA2 egg powder added to an extruded Silver Cup steelhead (anadromous rainbow trout) diet (45% protein, 16% fat). There were six 115-L tanks per treatment, and each was stocked with 12 fish. The fish were carefully fed to apparent satiation once daily. Total feed input to each tank was recorded. After 2 months, fish in the 0.15% and 0.3% treatment groups grew 11.1% and 27.8% greater, respectively, than controls. Feed conversion ratios in the control, 0.15%, and 0.30% treatment groups were 0.93, 0.93, and 0.86, respectively. It is concluded that aPLA2 can be used as a feed additive to enhance the growth of rainbow trout.
Endocrine Biomarkers of Growth and Applications to Aquaculture: A Minireview of Growth Hormone, Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I, and IGF-Binding Proteins as Potential Growth Indicators in Fish
Authors: Picha Matthew E , Turano Marc J , Beckman Brian R , Borski Russell J 
Published: March 2008

Abstract
Growth in fish and other vertebrates is under endocrine control, particularly through the growth hormone (GH)–insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis. For this reason, it has been of interest to aquaculture researchers and the industry to establish endocrine biomarkers that can both reflect and predict growth rates in fish subject to various biotic and abiotic manipulations. Ultimately, by understanding the hormones that control growth and utilizing them as biomarkers, we hope to achieve optimal growth conditions in the aquaculture environment with less need for lengthy and costly grow-out trials. While the most appropriate endocrine biomarkers for growth can be both species and situation specific, IGF-I may be the most promising candidate for measuring instantaneous growth in fish. This is based on the direct contributions of IGF-I in regulating cell proliferation and ultimately somatic growth, along with its previously established correlations with the specific growth rate in fish under various conditions that alter growth. However, other endocrine indices, such as GH and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), are also important contributors and may in some instances prove a strong corollary to growth rate. This review discusses the potential utility of GH, IGF-I, and IGFBPs as growth biomarkers for those manipulations most relevant to the aquaculture industry, namely, feeding regimen, diet composition, temperature, photoperiod, and stress.
Dextran Microgels for Time‐Controlled Delivery of siRNA

Published: March 2008

AbstractTo apply siRNA as a therapeutic agent, appropriate attention should be paid to the optimization of the siRNA gene silencing effect, both in terms of magnitude and duration. Intracellular time‐controlled siRNA delivery could aid in tailoring the kinetics of siRNA gene knockdown. However, materials with easily tunable siRNA release properties have not been subjected to thorough investigation thus far. This report describes cationic biodegradable dextran microgels which can be loaded with siRNA posterior to gel formation. Even though the siRNAs are incorporated in the hydrogel network based on electrostatic interaction, still a time‐controlled release can be achieved by varying the initial network density of the microgels. To demonstrate the biological functionality of the siRNA loaded gels, we studied their cellular internalization and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene silencing potential in HUH7 human hepatoma cells.
Compatibilization of PP/PE blends and scraps with Royalene: Mechanical properties, SAXS, and WAXS
Authors: Nedkov T. , Lednický F. , Mihailova M. 
Published: March 2008

AbstractPP/PE 93/7 model virgin blends and recycled scraps were compatibilized with Royalene (EPDM/PE 65/35 blend) and mechanically tested. No differences in impact and tensile properties between them were found. However, the tensile‐impact strength increased almost twice with 10%‐compatibilized sample in comparison with uncompatibilized ones. The yield stress of blends containing 10% Royalene decreased to 75–80% of the original value. This effect is in agreement with microhardness measurements; the increase in the compatibilizer content causes softening of the blend. The elongation at break and elongation at yield do not depend on the compatibilizer concentration. The compatibilizer does not influence the degree of crystallinity (WAXS data) of the blends either. Vickers microhardness is in good agreement with Tabor's relationship. The differences between long periods of HDPE in Royalene and LDPE in PP/PE blends (SAXS) proved PE/EPDM interaction. The interaction plays a key role in the toughening of PP/PE blends. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Origin and Endpoint of the Olfactory Nerve Fibers: As Described by Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Authors: Levine Catherine , Marcillo Alexander 
Published: March 2008

AbstractIn the late Nineteenth Century, Santiago Ramón y Cajal was able to reproduce an exceptional illustration of the Olfactory Nerve pathway and its myriad of cells, by using the Golgi Method. Dr. Cajal focused intense study on the histology of the nervous system and published a treatise on the olfactory nerve fibers and the distinct peripheral origin and central nervous system endpoint of this unique pathway. The original title of this work is “Origen y terminación de las fibras nerviosas olfatorias” published in 1890. As the original publication is in Spanish, here we provide an English translation allowing present‐day English speakers to read these writings. Cajal followed the trajectory of the olfactory nerve fibers as they transitioned between the peripheral and central nervous system and was able to assert that these fibers were not continuous from the olfactory bulb to the bipolar cells that relinquish into the olfactory epithelium, but that the olfactory system was made up of various cell types each having distinct morphologies and functions. This may very well be the first definitive description of the olfactory receptor neurons and the first illustrations of the continuity of these cells throughout the olfactory pathway. These meticulous histological preparations were created by first using Camillo Golgi's potassium dichromate and silver nitrate impregnation method known as “reazione nera” or “black reaction,” where nerve cells, nerve fibers, and neuroglia could be visualized. This study exhibits the structural and functional organization of the mammalian fila olfactoria as it was investigated in centuries past. Anat Rec, 291:741‐750, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Tuberculosis Induced Changes to the Osseous Cranial Base and its Potential Effect on Hearing
Authors: Balboni Armand L. , Bergemann Andrew D. , Reidenberg Joy S. , Laitman Jeffrey T. 
Published: March 2008

AbstractOur prior work suggested that petro‐occipital fissure (POF) ossification may be altered in clinicopathologies of the cranial base such as hearing loss (Balboni et al., 2005). Here we demonstrate an accelerated and statistically significant ossification of the POF and cochlear aqueduct (CA) in a historical population of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB). While a number of studies have sought to reduce the importance of the POF/CA to hearing, given its anatomical location, evolutionary conservation across mammals and the mounting data linking morphological changes of the POF/CA to the temporal onset of hearing loss and tinnitus, it is becoming difficult to maintain that its function is not related to inner ear homeostasis.

Reproductive Anatomy of the Female Amazonian Manatee Trichechus inunguis Natterer, 1883 (Mammalia: Sirenia)
Authors: Rodrigues Fernanda Rosa , Da Silva Vera Maria Ferreira , Barcellos José Fernando Marques , Lazzarini Stella Maris 
Published: March 2008

AbstractThe Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) is uniparous and has a slow reproduction cycle due to a long gestation period and long interval between births. Even though protected by law, hunting remains one of the main causes hindering the natural population growth of this species in the wild. The histology and reproductive anatomy provide information on the history and reproductive status of the female and offer a tool for the conservation of the species. The present study describes the anatomy of the female reproductive tract in T. inunguis. It is based on materials from three reproductive tracts fixed in 10% buffered formalin. The ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, and external genitalia are described. The hymen presents two tiny openings separated by a segment that, upon rupturing during the first copulation, should make up a single vaginal opening. A still intact hymen and the absence of placental scars in the uterus were found in one specimen. Additionally, the presence of a hemorrhagic body and Graafian follicles on the right ovary were observed, as well as whitish scars and among them, possible corpora albicantia. These findings suggest that T. inunguis undergoes infertile estrus cycles before its first gestation. Macroscopically, counting of the whitish scars is hindered by the small diameter of these structures. It is not possible to differentiate between the scars resulting from ruptured (corpora albicantia) and nonruptured follicles (regressed corpora atretica). The presence of whitish scars on both ovaries of the same specimen suggests their bilateral function in T. inunguis. Anat Rec, 291:557–564, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
A user‐centered functional metadata evaluation of moving image collections
Authors: Zhang Ying , Li Yuelin 
Published: March 2008

AbstractIn this article, the authors report a series of evaluations of two metadata schemes developed for Moving Image Collections (MIC), an integrated online catalog of moving images. Through two online surveys and one experiment spanning various stages of metadata implementation, the MIC evaluation team explored a user‐centered approach in which the four generic user tasks suggested by IFLA FRBR (International Association of Library Associations Functional Requirement for Bibliographic Records) were embedded in data collection and analyses. Diverse groups of users rated usefulness of individual metadata fields for finding, identifying, selecting, and obtaining moving images. The results demonstrate a consistency across these evaluations with respect to (a) identification of a set of useful metadata fields highly rated by target users for each of the FRBR generic tasks, and (b) indication of a significant interaction between MIC metadata fields and the FRBR generic tasks. The findings provide timely feedback for the MIC implementation specifically, and valuable suggestions to other similar metadata application settings in general. They also suggest the feasibility of using the four IFLA FRBR generic tasks as a framework for user‐centered functional metadata evaluations.
