description: Tapeinosperma rubriscapum Guillaumin Mémoires du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, sér. Botanique, 8: 159 (1959). TYPUS. — Nouvelle-Calédonie. Au-dessus de Balade, vers 300 m, arbuste buissonnant (1,5 m), axes infloresc. rouges, fr. jeunes, 11. VI.1956, MacKee 4757 (holo-, P!). AUTRE MATÉRIEL EXAMINÉ. — Nouvelle-Calédonie. Tao (au pied du Mont Panié), arbuste buissonnant (1,5 m), en galerie forestière, fr. globuleux de 5-6 mm de diamètre, 31.VIII.1958, MacKee 6364. — Me Aoui, vers 700 m, arbuste, fl. pourpres, 18. VI.1981, MacKee 39228 (récolté par Cherrier). — Mont Panié, vers 300 m, arbuste (2 m), fl. pourpres, odorantes, 26. V.1980, McPherson 2740. OBSERVATIONS Tapeinosperma rubriscapum est surtout remarquable par ses anthères très courtes, ovales-triangulaires, et ses styles courts (1 mm), étroitement coniques, subulés. Les fleurs sont nettement plus grandes que celles des autres espèces du groupe auquel nous l’avons rattaché. En dehors du massif du Panié, où il croît en forêt sur micaschistes, à basse ou moyenne altitude, il n’a été récolté qu’une seule fois plus au sud, mais toujours sur terrain plus ou moins siliceux. Encore l’échantillon provenant du Me Aoui apparaît-il un peu atypique. L’espèce, bien que se trouvant dans une zone en partie protégée, peut être considérée comme vulnérable.

description: Tapeinosperma amosense Guillaumin (Fig. 16 A-C) Journal d’Agriculture tropicale et de Botanique appliquée XI: 102 (1964). TYPUS. — Nouvelle-Calédonie, crête au sud du col d’Amoss, vers 700m, arbuste (1 m), fl. blanches, 8. I.1961, MacKee 8022 (holo-, P! [P00835380]) (unicum specimen cognitum). OBSERVATIONS L’échantillon, sur lequel Guillaumin a basé la diagnose de cette espèce, est de qualité médiocre: les fleurs sont plus ou moins passées, et il n’y a pas de fruit, même en voie de formation. Ses caractères cependant, limbe étroitement oblancéolé, inflorescences courtes à l’extrémité de rameaux latéraux relativement longs et souples, fleurs blanches (fide MacKee), la distingue bien des autres espèces du groupe. On observera que les rameaux florifères – nus sur la majeure partie de leur longueur, avec des petites feuilles plus ou moins rapprochées au-dessous de l’inflorescence – sont du même type que ceux observés chez plusieurs autres espèces, où des inflorescences apparaissent également en position terminale sur des rameaux normaux. Tapeinosperma amosense, espèce rare sans doute, croissant cependant dans une zone actuellement protégée, peut être considéré comme vulnérable.

Family History Of Type 2 Diabetes

description: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE:Heredity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with greater risk for developing T2DM. Thus, individuals who have a first-degree relative with T2DM (FDRT) provide a natural model to study factors of susceptibility towards development of T2DM, which are poorly understood. Emerging key players in T2DM pathophysiology such as adverse oxidative stress and inflammatory responses could be among possible mechanisms that predispose FDRTs to develop T2DM. Here, we aimed to examine the role of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses as mediators of this excess risk by studying dynamic postprandial responses in FDRTs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:In this open-label case-control study, we recruited normoglycemic men with (n=9) or without (n=9) a family history of T2DM. We assessed plasma glucose, insulin, lipid profile, cytokines and F2-isoprostanes, expression levels of oxidative and inflammatory genes/proteins in circulating mononuclear cells (MNC), myotubes and adipocytes at baseline (fasting state), and after consumption of a carbohydrate-rich liquid meal or insulin stimulation. RESULTS:Postprandial glucose and insulin responses were not different between groups. Expression of oxidant transcription factor NRF2 protein (p<0.05 for myotubes) and gene (pgroup=0.002, ptime×group=0.016), along with its target genes TXNRD1 (pgroup=0.004, ptime×group=0.007), GPX3 (pgroup=0.011, ptime×group=0.019) and SOD-1 (pgroup=0.046 and ptime×group=0.191) was upregulated in FDRT-derived MNC after meal ingestion or insulin stimulation. Synergistically, expression of target genes of inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (pgroup=0.001, ptime×group=0.007) was greater in FDRT-derived MNC than in non-FDRT-derived MNC after meal ingestion or insulin stimulation. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings shed light on how heredity of T2DM confers increased susceptibility to oxidative stress and inflammation. This could provide early insights into the underlying mechanisms and future risk of FDRTs for developing T2DM and its associated complications.

description: INTRODUCTION:The prevalence of diabetes in schizophrenia is twice that in the general population, but there are few reliable predictors of which individuals will develop glucose dysregulation. OBJECTIVE:To test if abnormal birth weight (either too low or too high) and parental diabetes, both variables that can be ascertained in the clinic, can predict diabetes onset in patients with schizophrenia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:Electronic records of a cohort of 190 clozapine-treated patients (37% treated for more than 20 years) and Cox regression survival analysis (with any type of glucose dysregulation as the event) to account for differences in length of treatment before the event and age at clozapine treatment initiation. RESULTS:Age at clozapine initiation (Exp(B)=1.098; p<0.001), family history of diabetes (Exp(B)=2.299; p=0.049) and birth weight2 (Exp(B)=0.999; p=0.013) were significant predictors of glucose dysregulation onset, while gender was not (Exp(B)=0.1.350; p=0.517). Among individuals with 10 years of follow-up, 80% of those with both abnormal birth weight and a family history of diabetes developed diabetes compared with 56% with only abnormal birth weight, 40% with only a family history of diabetes and 20% in those with neither. CONCLUSIONS:Since 48% of cases had at least one risk factor and 6% had both risk factors, there is a substantial proportion of patients for whom preventive strategies could be implemented.

description: Circadian clocks have evolved to synchronise an organism's physiology with the environmental rhythms driven by the Earth's rotation on its axis. Over the past two decades, many of the genetic components of the Arabidopsis thaliana circadian oscillator have been identified. The interactions between these components have been formulized into mathematical models that describe the transcriptional translational feedback loops of the oscillator. More recently, focus has turned to the regulation and functions of the circadian clock. These studies have shown that the system dynamically responds to environmental signals and small molecules. We describe advances that have been made in discovering the cellular mechanisms by which signals regulate the circadian oscillator of Arabidopsis in the context of tissue-specific regulation.

description: Abundant specimens, mostly isolated teeth, of the Primate family Notharctidae occur in the Early Eocene rocks of the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming, USA. Very early in the North American history of the family, the notharctid species diversified and this diversity may have been widespread, and not restricted to more southerly areas in the Rocky Mountains. The diversity is shown by detailed analysis of the molar dentition. Two new genera are established: Megaceralemur with Megaceralemur trigonodus as its type and Megaceralemur matthewi sp. nov. as a Sandcouleean species and Pinolophus, with Pinolophus meikei sp. nov. as its type, for a form with an entoconid notch on lower molar 1. Megaceralemur has a prominent nannopithex-fold which dominates the posterior cingulum of upper molars 1–2 and a cristid obliqua on lower molar 1 which attaches to the metaconid, not the metalophid as it does in Cantius and other genera. A small species, Cantius lohseorum sp. nov., is named for a derived lineage the size of Cantius torresi. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:066DC515-A2DD-40AF-AD8A-3834E2AFD0FB

description: Presentation for PIDapalooza 2016. PIDs need to be used to achieve their intended persistence. Our research (reported at WWW2016, see http://arxiv.org/1602.09102) found that a disturbing percentage of references to papers that have DOIs actually use the landing page HTTP URI instead of the DOI HTTP URI. The problem is likely related to tools used for collecting references such as bookmarks and reference managers. These select the landing page URI instead of the DOI URI because the former is what's available in the address bar. It can safely be assumed that the same problem exists for other types of PIDs. The net result is that the true potential of PIDs is not realized. In order to ameliorate this problem we propose a Signposting pattern for PIDs (http://signposting.org/identifier/). It consists of adding a Link header to HTTP HEAD/GET responses for all resources identified by a DOI, including the landing page and content resources such as "the PDF" and "the dataset". The Link header contains a link, which points with the "identifier" relation type to the DOI HTTP URI. When such a link is available, tools can automatically discover and use the DOI URI instead of the other URIs (landing page, PDF, dataset) associated with the DOI-identified object.

description: Phytophthora palmivora is a destructive oomycete plant pathogen with a wide host range. So far, little is known about the factors governing its infection structure development and pathogenicity. From the culture filtrate of a P. palmivora strain isolated from papaya, we identified a secreted glycoprotein of 15 kDa, designated as Ppal15kDa, using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Two gene variants, Ppal15kDaA and Ppal15kDaB were amplified from a P. palmivora papaya isolate. Transient expression of both variants in Nicotiana benthamiana by agroinfiltration enhanced P. palmivora infection. Six Ppal15kDa mutants with diverse mutations were generated via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. All mutants were compromised in infectivity on N. benthamiana and papaya. Two mutants with all Ppal15kDa copies mutated almost completely lost pathogenicity. The pathogenicity of the other four containing at least one wild-type copy of Ppal15kDa was compromised at varying levels. The mutants were also affected in development as they produced smaller sporangia, shorter germ tubes, and fewer appressoria. The affected levels in development corresponded to the levels of reduction in pathogenicity, suggesting that Ppal15kDa plays an important role in normal development of P. palmivora infection structures. Consistent with its role in infection structure development and pathogenicity, Ppal15kDa was found to be highly induced during appressorium formation. In addition, Ppal15kDa homologs are broadly present in Phytophthora spp., but none were characterized. Altogether, this study identified a novel component involved in development and pathogenicity of P. palmivora and possibly other Phytophthora spp. known to contain a Ppal15kDa homolog.

Implications of the prevalence and magnitude of sustained declines for determining a minimum threshold for favourable population size.

description: We propose a new approach to quantifying a minimum threshold value for the size of an animal population, below which that population might be categorised as having unfavourable status. Under European Union law, the concept of Favourable Conservation Status requires assessment of populations as having favourable or unfavourable status, but quantitative methods for such assessments have not yet been developed. One population threshold that is well established in conservation biology is the minimum viable population (MVP) defined as the size of a small but stable population with an acceptably low risk of extinction within a specified period. Our approach combines this small-population paradigm MVP concept with a multiplier, which is a factor by which the MVP is multiplied to allow for the risk of a sustained future decline. We demonstrate this approach using data on UK breeding bird population sizes. We used 43-year time-series data for 189 species and a qualitative assessment of population trends over almost 200 years for 229 species to examine the prevalence, duration and magnitude of sustained population declines. Our study addressed the problem of underestimation of the duration and magnitude of declines caused by short runs of monitoring data by allowing for the truncation of time series. The multiplier was derived from probability distributions of decline magnitudes within a given period, adjusted for truncation. Over a surveillance period of 100 years, we estimated that there was a 10% risk across species that a sustained population decline of at least sixteen-fold would begin. We therefore suggest that, in this case, a factor of 16 could be used as the multiplier of small-population MVPs to obtain minimum threshold population sizes for favourable status. We propose this 'MVP Multiplier' method as a new and robust approach to obtaining minimum threshold population sizes which integrates the concepts of small-population and declining-population paradigms. The minimum threshold value we propose is intended for use alongside a range of other measures to enable overall assessments of favourable conservation status.

OBSERVATIONS Tapeinosperma ellipticum se reconnaît bien à ses feuilles elliptiques,relativement grandes, et à ses inflorescences multiflores, amples, en panicules trois fois ramifiées, terminales sur des rameaux latéraux assez fins, portant sur la moitié ou le tiers supérieur des petites feuilles ovées ou, au voisinage de l’inflorescence, similaires aux feuilles végétatives. Les étiquettes de collecteurs signalent très souvent la coloration rose ou violacée des axes inflorescentiels, alors que les fleurs sont décrites comme étant de teinte blanche ou rose pâle. L’espèce, paraissant relativement commune dans toute l’étendue d’un massif très vaste, en grande partie protégé, ne semble pas aujourd’hui menacée.

description: Background:Foraging performance is widely hypothesized to play a key role in shaping age-specific demographic rates in wild populations, yet the underlying behavioral changes are poorly understood. Seabirds are among the longest-lived vertebrates, and demonstrate extensive age-related variation in survival, breeding frequency and success. The breeding season is a particularly critical phase during the annual cycle, but it remains unclear whether differences in experience or physiological condition related to age interact with the changing degree of the central-place constraint in shaping foraging patterns in time and space. Methods:Here we analyze tracking data collected over two decades from congeneric black-browed (BBA) and grey-headed (GHA) albatrosses, Thalassarche melanophris and T. chrysostoma, breeding at South Georgia. We compare the foraging trip parameters, at-sea activity (flights and landings) and habitat preferences of individuals aged 10-45 years and contrast these patterns between the incubation and early chick-rearing stages. Results:Young breeders of both species showed improvements in foraging competency with age, reducing foraging trip duration until age 26. Thereafter, there were signs of foraging senescence; older adults took gradually longer trips, narrowed their habitat preference (foraging within a smaller range of sea surface temperatures) (GHA), made fewer landings and rested on the water for longer (BBA). Some age-specific effects were apparent for each species only in certain breeding stages, highlighting the complex interaction between intrinsic drivers in determining individual foraging strategies. Conclusions:Using cross-sectional data, this study highlighted clear age-related patterns in foraging behavior at the population-level for two species of albatrosses. These trends are likely to have important consequences for the population dynamics of these threatened seabirds, as young or old individuals may be more vulnerable to worsening environmental conditions.

description: Salmonella typhi, a Gram negative bacterium, has become multidrug resistant (MDR) to wide classes of antibacterials which necessitate an alarming precaution. This study focuses on the binding potential and therapeutic insight of Nano-Fullerene C60 towards virulent targets of Salmonella typhi by computational prediction and preliminary in vitro assays. The clinical isolates of Salmonella typhi were collected and antibiotic susceptibility profiles were assessed. The drug targets of pathogen were selected by rigorous literature survey and gene network analysis by various metabolic network resources. Based on this study, 20 targets were screened and the 3D structures of few drug targets were retrieved from PDB and others were computationally predicted. The structures of nanoleads such as Fullerene C60, ZnO and CuO were retrieved from drug databases. The binding potential of these nanoleads towards all selected targets were predicted by molecular docking. The best docked conformations were screened and concept was investigated by preliminary bioassays. This study revealed that most of the isolates of Salmonella typhi were found to be MDR (p in vitro assays suggested that 100 μg/L Fullerene C60 posses significant inhibitory activities and absence of drug resistance to this nanoparticle. This study suggests that Fullerene C60 can be scaled up as probable lead molecules against the major drug targets of MDR Salmonella typhi.

OBSERVATIONS Tapeinosperma whitei, reconnaissable à ses feuilles elliptiques, courtement pétiolées, et à ses inflorescences très amples, n’a été récolté que dans le sud de la Grande Terre, sur terrain ultramafique, alors que T. ellipticum, dont il paraît assez voisin, n’a été trouvé qu’au nord-est, dans le massif du Panié-Ignambi, sur micaschistes. En raison de sa localisation dans une zone très affectée par les activités minières et forestières, en partie ennoyée à la suite de la construction du barrage de Yaté, et parcourue à plusieurs reprises par des incendies, la survie de cette espèce peu commune semble aujourd’hui menacée.

description: A better understanding of the effects of nutrients element and irrigation levels on production of Lily (Lilium LA Hybrid Fangio) can lead to optimal uses of nutrients and water. Plant growth is strongly correlated with the amount of irrigation and fertilization. In this regard, a greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of different nutrient solution viz. high concentration of elements (S1), medium concentration of elements (S2), and high concentration of elements (S3) under different irrigation regimes (100, 90, 80 and 70 % of field capacity (FC) in soilless culture. In well-watered treatments (100% FC), S3 enhanced the vase life by 17% compared to S1. The maximum leaf number was observed in the interaction of S3 and 90% FC, whereas its minimum was found in the interaction of S1 and 70% FC. Under 70% FC, S3 increased the leaf length by 6% in comparison with S1. Leaf width was altered by simultaneous use of nutrient solution and irrigation, ranging from S2 and 80% FC (13.3 mm) to S1 and 70% FC (9 mm). In S3, 70% FC decreased the bud length by 9% relative to 100% FC. The days until flowering varied from the interaction of S2 and 70% FC (4.1 days) to S1 and 100% FC (6 days). Under S1 treatments, 70% FC decreased the flower number by 18% compared to 100% FC. The highest weight of daughter bulb was observed in interaction of S2 and 80% FC. In contrast, the lowest weight of daughter bulb was found in S2 and 90% FC.

description: In the present study we collected 12 clones of garlic from different geographical origin in Iran. The clones were sown in a field trial under natural infection of the rust fungus during two consecutive years. After 210 days, the reactions of the clones to the disease as well as the morphological features of the clones were evaluated. The results of analysis of variance on morphological traits showed a significant difference among the clones in terms of bulb weight, mean clove weight, number of bulb skin, number of cloves in the bulb, leaf temperature and the percentage of clove dry weight, and nutrient uptake for N,P,K, Mn and Zn. The results showed a positive and significant correlation between the leaf temperature, photosynthesis, nitrogen and manganese uptake and percentage of leaf infection at 1% probability level. The results of the infection frequency showed that the clones ‘Gilvan1’ and ‘Lalejin’ had the lowest percentage of infection and were identified as resistant clones to the rust disease. The results also showed that garlic clones reacted differently to the rust fungus and are separated into resistant, semi resistant, semi-susceptible and susceptible clones.

description: The growing demand for both fresh and dry figs worldwide is due to its richness in mineral compounds (i.e. iron and copper) and polyphenols. Considering the position of Iranian cultivars in global fig market, the present study examined the growth and photosynthetic rate of commercial fig cultivars (i.e. ‘Sabzʼ, ‘Siyahʼ, ‘Shah Anjirʼ, ‘Atabakiʼ, ‘Kashkiʼ, ‘Matiʼ and ‘Bar Anjirʼ) exposed to six salt treatments corresponding to the following electrical conductivities (EC): 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 dSm-1. The results indicated a decrease trend of stem length, stem diameter and leaf number in salt-exposed plants. The electrolyte leakage and protein content in all cultivars followed an ascending trend. The specific leaf area, relative water content, photosynthetic indices and nitrogen content followed a decreasing trend according with increasing salinity. The ‘Siyahʼ and ‘Sabzʼ, as the most salt-tolerant cultivars, had the maximum leaf abscission, the lowest transpiration rate and leaf water content under salt condition, compared to all other tested cultivars. Moreover, they had the most leaf succulence and leaf dry matter content and the lowest specific leaf area, which related to the balance between growth ratio and osmotic regulation under salt conditions. The ‘Shah Anjirʼ, as the most salt-sensitive cultivar, could not balance transpiration rate and leaf water content under salt treatment higher than 4 dSm-1.

description: The optimum conditions for extraction of total phenolic contents (TPC) and maintaining the highest antioxidant activity from eggplant were determined. Extraction experiments were carried out by investigating the effects of the solvent nature (acetone, ethanol, methanol, or water), solvent concentration (30-90%), extraction temperature (30-100°C), extraction time (30-120 min), solid to solvent ratio (1/25-1/100 g/mL), and number of extractions (1, 2 and 3) on the recovery of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of the extracts. The TPC was assessed to determine the polyphenolic component while free radical scavenging activity (FRSA) and ferric-reducing power (FRP) were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of eggplant extracts. All extraction parameters had significant effects (p<0.05) on the TPC extraction and the antioxidant activities. The best conditions were obtained using three extraction steps with aqueous acetone 70% (v/v) at 25°C for 60 min and with 1 g/50 mL solid to solvent ratio. The optimum extraction conditions exhibit the TPC concentrations of 794.94 mg GAE/100 g and antioxidant activities of 737.86 mg TE/g (FRSA) and 28.00 mg TE/g (FRP). The free radical scavenging and ferric-reducing potentials were found to be positively significantly correlated with phenolic content under the influence of all extraction parameters.

description: Objectives: To evaluate the safety and effect on survival of insertion of a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) who have upright forced vital capacity (uFVC) ≤ 50% predicted. Current guidelines, which are based on higher rates of post-procedure complications in ALS patients with advanced respiratory dysfunction, have led to a recommendation to perform G-tube insertion before the FVC drops to <50% predicted, even when the patient has no significant dysphagia. Methods: We assessed 41 ALS patients who received a G-tube, mostly by insertion of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube by a dedicated team that included a gastroenterologist and one of two anesthesiologists using Monitored Anesthesia Care with deep sedation, and 61 patients who did not receive a G-tube. uFVC was ≤50% predicted in 12 of 41 patients who received a G-tube and in 18 of 61 who did not. Results: The procedure was safe regardless of FVC status, with low rates of post-operative complications in both low and high FVC groups. There was no survival benefit for patients who received a G-tube when compared with those who did not. Discussion: PEG insertion is safe in ALS patients with significant respiratory muscle weakness when performed by a dedicated team, which suggests that the recommendation for G-tube placement should not be based on the patient’s respiratory status.
