description: Dioncomena ornata Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 (Fig. 24)
http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:12537
Distribution: Wide-spread in Tanzania on Zanzibar, in coastal forest and in submontane forest on most Eastern Arc Mountain ranges as well as along the southern part of the Kenyan coast.
Habitat: Coastal, lowland and submontane forest.
Ecology & Biology: D. ornata prefers forest clearings, forest edge and forest path situations which allows basking in the sun on broad leaved herbs for part of the day. The species is day active, males often found on top of small bushes or large herbs performing their song. They are easily disturbed when approached but usually only fly some meters before landing on bushes or herbs. D. ornata individuals are often found resting closely to each other, apart maybe 1–2 meters, several males and females sharing a bush or a herbaceous strip along forest edge.

Publisher: name: Bureau of Water Monitoring, Biomonitoring Operations Section
Year: 1994

description: The NJDEP Bureau of Water Monitoring has performed many original biomonitoring studies throughout the waters of the State. Reference stations in our surveys have, until recently, been utilized only on a watershed or site-specific basis. However, from 1989 through 1991 almost the entire State, including three major and four smaller ecoregions, was surveyed to find stream locations qualifying as ecoregion biological reference sites. Data from this initial survey will serve as the baseline for each reference site. As the opportunity arises, additional reference stations will be added based upon the monitoring results obtained from the Ambient Biomonitoring Network.  The establishment of ecoregion sites will serve to complement current and future watershed biomonitoring and trend assessments. It will, therefore, serve as a basis for the statewide water quality inventory and planning/management decisions involving surface water quality standards and biocriteria.

Opinion: This species does occur in the region.
Justification:
Literature analysis: The publications of Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) describe the same material, but without more detailed descriptions and larger illustrations of the sclerites it would be difficult to recognise this species. The figured thornscales bear some resemblance to those in several known species, but the description says that spindles appear to be absent, whereas they are present in all known species. The description says branch anastomoses are infrequent and limited to the centre of the colony, but enhancement of their image shows this does not seem to be the case.

description: Economic growth fuels prosperity by boosting the production of goods and services, but it also brings a host of environmental challenges. As production ramps up, so does resource consumption, leading to depletion and increased waste. The true environmental impact of economic activity lies in how we process resources, manufacture goods, transport them, and generate waste, including harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding these factors is crucial to grasp the pressures that growth places on our environment.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Fungi play an essential role in human civilization and natural ecosystems through their multifaceted roles. Historically, humans have harnessed fungi for food production, medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. In medicine, fungi have led to the discovery of crucial drugs such as penicillin, cephalosporin, cyclosporine A, and statins, revolutionizing medical treatments and significantly improving public health. However, the rise of antibiotic resistance has become a critical global challenge, threatening the effectiveness of existing drugs and underscoring the urgent need for new molecules to combat antibiotic-resistant organisms.This study focuses on the potential of nematophagous fungi, isolated from the eggs of the cereal cyst nematode Heterodera filipjevi and related species from various regions, to discover compounds with unique antimicrobial properties. The selected methodology included screening in various media, extraction, and isolation of secondary metabolites using classical chromatographic methods. Structure elucidation was performed with a combination of MS, UV, ECD, and 1D and 2D NMR measurements, along with derivatization reactions like Marfey’s or Mosher method in special cases. The isolated metabolites were then biologically characterised against a panel of selected Gram-postive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, Caenorhabditis elegans and mammalian cell lines.The results revealed several compounds with significant antimicrobial efficacy, highlighting their potential application within different fields. In particular, the study discusses the feasibility of using these fungi as biocontrol agents against globally relevant agricultural pathogens, particularly plant parasitic nematodes. This represents an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional nematicides, which are prohibited in the majority of countries due to their toxicity on soil microorganisms, vertebrates, and humans.Notably, the genus Polyphilus was found to produce the mycotoxins talaroderxine C and D, which have a dominant effect on Staphylococcus aureus biofilms, along with other intriguing metabolites. Laburnicola nematophila produced the highly antifungal dactylfungins, effective against azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus. Preliminary findings for L. nematophila and Polydomus karssenii suggest that many secondary metabolites remain undiscovered and uncharacterised for these taxa, indicating the need for future research.In conclusion, this research highlights the potential of fungi to produce a wide array of natural products with diverse or hidden biological properties. It also emphasizes the need to study fungi comprehensively before developing them into biocontrol agents. The study's findings open new avenues for sustainable agriculture and drug discovery, addressing pressing global challenges such as antibiotic resistance and food security.

Why Does Normal Cell Death Not Occur in Breast Cancer?

description: Recent progress in the understanding of breast cancer includes the finding that levels of a protein, called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and its receptors (proteins which recognize TNF) are increased in the diseased breast tissue. The precise role of increased TNF production in the development of breast cancer, however, is unclear. It is also known that TNF is involved in cell death (which occurs in normal breast tissue, but fails to occur in breast cancer). A critical change in the transformation from normal to cancerous tissue is the loss of control over cell growth. It has recently been learned that a different group of proteins, the JNKs, become active in the presence of TNF and are involved in the normal cell death process. Thus, studying the interaction between the JNKs and TNF will allow us to understand part of what has gone wrong to prevent normal cell death and allow the uncontrolled cell growth of cancer cells. It may also show us where in the process we can intervene to treat breast cancer.

 The experiments in this proposal use a human breast cancer cell line to investigate the role of JNKs in TNF-induced cell death. Treatment with TNF induces these cancerous cells to undergo normal cell death. The project can be divided into two sections: 1) determining the role of JNKs in TNF-induced cell death; and 2) isolating the factors which affect JNK activity. Because induction of normal cell death in cancer cells is one of the most promising ways to cure breast cancer, identification of components of this machinery will be fundamental for successful and rational breast cancer therapy.

Remarks.— Vosseler (1909) recorded an Eurycorypha species in the East Usambara Mountains, investigating minutely the life history. Since the ant-like nymphal stages were described as Myrmecophana fallax, Vosseler suggested that the species in the East Usambaras belonged to this genus, described by Brunner von Wattenwyl from the Sudan. He synonymized M. fallax with Eurycorypha and remarked that E. prasinata (Stal), originally described from Madagascar, probably has the widest distribution occurring in Madagascar, South Africa, the Comoros, coastal Kenya and Tanzania. He suggested that the investigated species from the East Usambara Mountains, being somewhat intermediary between E. prasinata and E. varia Bunner, could therefore belong to E. prasinata. Further studies have to be undertaken to show to which species these East Usambaran specimens investigated by Vosseler belong since E. prasinata is restricted to Madagascar.

description: There is a growing public and scientific interest in the influence of hormonally active substances in the diet on both the risk to develop breast cancer and the potential to control breast cancer with minimal side effects. The best drug treatment currently available for women with breast cancer is hormone therapy. The growth of approximately one-third of breast cancers is stimulated by estrogen, so treating patients with anti-estrogens (e.g., tamoxifen) will slow the growth of certain tumors. However, tamoxifen therapy is associated with many side effects. Our interest is focused on naturally occurring compounds in the diet that could either prevent or slow the growth of breast cancer. Of particular importance is the identification and characterization of dietary compounds that can act independently of estrogen and, for some patients, potentially be used in combination with anti-estrogen therapy to more effectively reduce breast cancer growth. A compound called indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is one such dietary substance present in cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. I3C is currently undergoing phase 1 clinical trials as a therapy for human breast cancer patients, although relatively little is known about the molecular mechanism of its growth inhibitory effects.

 We have determined that I3C can inhibit the growth of both estrogen-responsive and non-responsive human breast cancer cell lines. Our hypthothesis is that I3C can inhibit breast cancer cell growth through a cellular pathway that is independent of the cellular effects of estrogen. Recent experiments show that I3C dramatically reduces the level of an important protein, called CDK6, that helps control a growth regulatory process called the cell cycle. Our research goal is to determine the functional and proliferative consequences for the dietary indole regulation of the CDK6 cell cycle protein in cultured human breast cancer cells and in breast cancer cell-derived tumors. Molecular experimental strategies will be employed to alter the expression of CDK6 so that its level remains elevated in cultured human breast cancer cells even after treatment with I3C. In these laboratory generated breast cancer cells, we plan to assess the effects of up to one week treatments with I3C on the regulation of cell cycle component activities and the rate of DNA synthesis, which is a measure of cell growth. A second critical aim of the study will be to determine the effects of expressing large amounts of CDK6 on the ability of I3C to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cell derived tumors formed in mice. Determining the molecular mechanism by which I3C inhibits breast cancer cell growth will be important because dietary I3C potentially represents an easily obtainable anti-cancer agent to the general public for the potential use in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer at a low cost.

description: Marin County women have one of the highest incidences of breast cancer in the world. The relative amounts of several chemical forms (or metabolites) of estrogen found in the urine of women indicates the risk for breast cancer. The amount of each metabolite can change depending on the diet. The consumption of cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli, may reduce the risk for breast cancer. Indole 3-Carbinol (I3C), a natural compound found in these vegetables, can change the relative amounts of the urinary estrogen metabolites, as well as inhibit the growth of cell cultures of human breast cancer cells. Only limited information is available about the role of natural indole compounds found in vegetables, such as I3C and the main metabolite of I3C which is Diindolymethane (DIM), in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. Recent information that DIM is safe and stable when ingested orally, makes it a desirable form of indole for testing our hypothesis. Our central hypothesis is that by giving DIM, to postmenopausal Marin women with a history of early stage breast cancer that the relative amounts of several forms of estrogen found in the urine will change in a manner that indicates a reduced risk for breast cancer.

 A physician from Marin County (Dalessandri) will recruit 60 Marin County women with breast cancer from the Northern California Cancer Center database. The women selected will be randomly placed into two groups of 30 women each. One group will receive DIM capsules and the other group will receive placebo capsules. An overnight urine collection taken at baseline and after one month of taking DIM capsules will be analyzed for the relative levels of several estrogen forms or metabolites important for determining breast cancer risk. DIM levels will also be tested to assess dietary compliance.

 This Translational Research Collaboration pilot project application will provide the necessary first experimental steps important for the development of natural indole carbinol related compounds as new types of anti breast cancer medicines, particularly in women with a high risk for developing breast cancer.

A Homeowner's Guide to Radioactivity in Drinking Water
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
Year: 1997

description: Radioactive substances are those that are unstable in nature.  Radioactive types of uranium, thorium, and radium emit radiation to reach a more stable condition.  Long-term exposure to these substances may increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer.  Public water sources are tested for radioactivity, but there are no requirements for private well owners to test their wells.  This pamphlet explains the risks of radioactivity, which water sources should be tested, and how to find a DEP-certified laboratory to perform the test.

Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Najarian Associates, L.P.
Year: 1990

description: This study investigated the dynamics and transport of pollutants in three tidal tributaries of the Hackensack Estuary: Sawmill Creek, Mill Creek, and Berry's Creek.  The study also investigated microscale transport dynamics at a marsh impoundment site and a mudflat impoundment site in the Sawmill Creek sub-basin.  Tidal elevation, flow and water quality data were collected at these sites.  The study revealed that nutrient loads for the wetlands assumed in most previous studies of the lower Hackensack River were not appropriate.

Year: 1997

description: This summary of data collected between 1993-1996 defines the current status of the Hackensack River, and depicts apparent trends.  Precipitation is included to help account for some of the variability that occurred during the time period.  Dissolved oxygen is the primary criteria constituent, essential for biological usage, and reflects negative contributions from all sources.  Fecal coliform bacteria and heavy metals are by-products of the urban, industrial nature of the Hackensack River, and can be considered serious pollutants when they exist in excessive concentrations.

description: Ectomoptera nepicauda Ragge, 1980 (Fig. 25, Fig. 26)
http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:12530
Distribution: Tanzania, East Usambara Mountains (Ragge 1980).
Habitat: Lowland evergreen forest.
Ecology & Biology: E. nepicauda is a night active species and was caught in the early night hours along the Zigi Trail on the foothills of the East Usambara Mountains in March 2012. It was shaken from understory trees and found below larger leaves in bushes and large herbs in heights between 1– 2 m. When the same trail was searched for Orthoptera at night in November 2011 this species was not found suggesting that it might be seasonal. E. nepicauda has an unusual modified stridulatory area and produces a resonant song (Heller & Hemp, in prep.)
